Abstract: In a logical circuit including a logical unit
connected to first through N-th input terminals and to
first and second power supply lines (2, 3) for carrying
out a logical operation on first through N-th input
signals supplied to the first through the N-th input
terminals, where N represents an integer greater than
one, the logical unit has first through fourth transistor
arrays (TA1-TA4), each of which is connected between the
first and the second power supply lines. Each of the
first through the fourth transistor arrays has
transistors, equal in number to the input terminals,
connected in series. Each of the transistors is of an
MIS (metal insulator semiconductor) type and has a gate.
Each transistor of each transistor array of the first
through the fourth transistor arrays has the gate which
is connected to any one of the first through the N-th
input terminals so that the number of the transistors
connected between one of the first and the second power
supply lines and the transistors having the gates
connected to a particular input terminal of the first
through the N-th input terminals is equal to the number
of the transistors connected between the one of the first
and the second power supply lines and the transistors
having the gates connected to each of the first through
the N-th input terminals except the particular input
terminal.

Abstract: An optical illuminator assembly for an analytical instrument, such as
a clinical hematology or a flow cytometer instrument, and method of aligning
the components of the illuminator assembly and orienting the illuminator
assembly. The illuminator assembly includes a plurality of optical
components, such as a laser source, e.g., a laser diode, optionally a spatial
filter, a beam shaping aperture, and a focusing lens. The optical components
are mounted in or to a housing and are internally oriented with respect to the
housing to produce a focussed laser beam output. The housing is in turn
mounted on an alignment mechanism which can move the focussed beam in
four degrees of freedom, thereby to direct the focussed beam to a particular
location. Thus, a factory alignment and a low cost prealigned optical
illuminator assembly is obtained, which can be easily oriented for use in an
instrument.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chip resistor which is used
as a circuit part for various electric apparatuses. The object
of the invention is to realize a low resistance and a low TCR,
and also high accuracy and high reliability. In order to achieve
the object, a chip resistor is configured so as to have: a
substrate; a resistance layer which is formed on at least one
face of the substrate and which is made of a copper nickel alloy;
upper-face electrode layers which make surface contact with the
upper faces of both the end portions of the resistance layer; and
end-face electrodes which are formed so as to cover the upper-face
electrode layers. Since the bonding between the resistance
layer and the upper-face electrode layers is conducted by metal-to-metal
bonding, particularly, impurities which may affect the
properties do not exist in the interface. As a result, it is
possible to realize a chip resistor which is excellent in heat
resistance, and which has a low resistance and a low TCR.

Abstract: The present invention uses three-state references to manage access to
referenced objects. In a preferred embodiment, a pointer swizzling facility receives a request
to swizzle a persistent pointer. In response to the request, the facility copies the persistent
pointer to an indirection slot, and replaces the original persistent pointer with a smart pointer
containing a pointer to the indirection slot. When the facility subsequently detects an attempt
to dereference the smart pointer, the facility loads the referenced object using the persistent
pointer stored in the indirection slot pointed to by the smart pointer. The facility further
replaces the persistent pointer in the indirection slot with a pointer to the loaded referenced
object. The facility also replaces the pointer to the indirection slot in the smart pointer with a
pointer to the loaded dereferenced object. Finally, the facility dereferences the pointer to the
loaded referenced object in response to the attempt to dereference the smart pointer.

Abstract: A handoff control process in a wireless ATM
network replaces a communication connection via old base
station with a new communication connection via new base
station. In order to guarantee that no data is lost
during the reconfigurationj process, an ATM cell level
mechanism is used to re-schedule the buffering and
transmitting of data streams of the virtual channels
(VCs) to be handed-off. In addition, this mechanism is
transparent to user applications. The present invention
performs three fundamental cell level scheduling
functions. The first function is to mark and redirect
ATM cell transmission with operation and maintenance
(OAM) cells. The second function is to disable and
buffer ATM cell transmission until the new path is
connected. The third function is to enable ATM cell
transmission, starting with the buffered cells across the
connected new path.

Abstract: A CD-R controller for recording on a CD-R disk a signal representative of a set of signal data. The CD-R controller includes a buffer manager for receiving a command such as a CUE-sheet, and sends the command to a micro-controller. The micro-controller generates instructions corresponding to each command by using information stored in a ROM. The buffer manager stores the instructions in a buffer and then sends the instructions to a CD-R formatter. Buffer manager may then send signal data corresponding to the instructions to a recording circuit. CD-R formatter generates control signals to the recording circuit from the instructions. The control signals cause recording circuit to generate recording signals to a CD-R drive. The CD-R drive may record the signal representative of the signal data in response to the recording signals.

comprising a commercially acceptable carrier and
solubilized ethylcellulose. The ethylcellulose being
substantially solubilized in at least one solvent which
may be a natural oil, triglyceride, propylene glycol

thereby forming improved formulations having enhanced
durability and adhesion efficacies and that are more
tolerable by the skin or lips, while advantageously
avoiding the use of monohydric alcoholic solvents.
