Abstract: A developing device (8) incorporating a developer supply unit (20) and a developer discharge section, in which a supply developer including a mixture of toner and carrier is successively supplied to a developer container (16) from the developer supply unit (20) and a deteriorated developer in the developer container is discharged through the developer discharge section. The developer supply unit (20) has a sponge member (21b) for selectively attracting toner to a surface thereof, a magnet member (21a) for selectively attracting carrier to a surface thereof, and a member for scraping and bringing the toner and carrier (D) attracted to these members (21a,21b) into the developer container (16). The developer including toner and carrier in a predetermined ratio is thus stably supplied to the developer container (16). In another example of the developer supply unit, agitating of the developer is performed while shovelling the developer deposited in a lower part of the unit by a transport screw. With this structure, since the toner and carrier are evenly mixed in the unit, the developer having a uniform toner concentration is supplied to the developer container, thereby continuing satisfactory development.

Abstract: This invention relates to a gas burner (20) which employs a two stage flame stabilizer. At low input rates, a fully aerated flame is stabilized at the surface of a porous material (26). At higher input rates, the flame blows off and is held by flame stabilization tabs (28). Such structures of this type, generally, operate over a very wide range of input rates and employ a highly aerated flame which reduces the flame temperature, slows NOx production, and increases the overall reaction rate by shortening the flame while reducing carbon monoxide (CO) caused by flame impingement.

Abstract: A low noise apparatus for receiving an input current and producing an output current which mirrors the input current significantly increases accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio by greatly reducing effects resulting from threshold voltage mismatches and i/f noise. The apparatus comprises four transistors, each having a control terminal and a first and second terminal. Further, the apparatus comprises a switching network which, in turn, comprises a plurality of switches formed within either a first or second electrical path. A first clock controls the switches formed within the first electrical path, while a second clock controls the switches formed within the second electrical path. When the first clock is in its first state and the second clock is in its second state, the switches formed within the first electrical path close to connect the first and second transistors to the third and fourth transistors, respectively, and the second terminal of the third transistor to the control terminal of the third transistor. However, the switches formed within the second electrical path remain open. Conversely, when the first clock is in its second state and the second clock is in its first state, the switches formed within the second electrical path close to connect the first and second transistors to the fourth and third transistors, respectively, and the second terminal of the fourth transistor to the control terminal of the fourth transistor. However, the switches formed within the first electrical path remain open. Consequently, the apparatus modulates a significant percentage of the threshold voltage mismatch up to the operating frequency of the two clocks. As a result, the first order error term resulting from the threshold voltage mismatch is eliminated and i/f noise is reduced.

Abstract: The invention definitely detects and cancels poisoning of a electrocatalyst in a fuel cell without delay. A first temperature sensor (61) and a second temperature sensor (63) are disposed respectively at an inlet and an outlet of first channels (34p) for gaseous fuel in a fuel cell (10). An electronic control unit (70) receives detection signals from the temperature sensors (61,63) and estimates a degree of poisoning of electrocatalyst on an anode (32) based on the detection signals. When determining that the electrocatalyst is poisoned, the electronic control unit (70) controls on and off first through fourth solenoid valves (51-54) to change the flow direction of the gaseous fuel through the first channels (34p). This allows a place with electrocatalyst poisoning to be exposed to the gaseous fuel having a relatively low concentration of carbon monoxide.

Abstract: A technique for verifying a pre-recorded header in a disk drive uses verification history as a means of protecting against errors that can cause verification failure. A head number, sector address, and upper track address (track MSB) are read from the disk and compared with corresponding expected values. The results of the 5 most recent comparisons are saved in three 5-bit memories. During each verification, a programmable selection and comparison circuit selects M of the stored indicators and determines whether at least N of them indicate a match. If so, the corresponding field is declared to be correctly verified, so that subsequent reads or writes to data blocks within the corresponding sector are allowed to proceed.

Abstract: A telephone subscriber who wishes to forward calls placed to that subscriber from a selected set of calling parties identifies the current destination number to a service adjunct. The service adjunct, in turn, transmits the destination number to the intelligent terminals of preselected parties while those intelligent terminals are in an inactive (i.e. on-hook) mode, for storage in a local memory contained in those terminals. Thereafter, when the usual number of the telephone subscriber is "dialed" (e.g., entered on the keypad) at any one of the intelligent terminals, the stored destination number is retrieved and output to the telecommunications network in place of the usual number. The actual destination number is also displayed to the calling party who then has the option to let the call complete or disconnect to stop the call.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a hydraulically operated transmission for a vehicle has a control circuit portion (8) for a lockup clutch (4) and a solenoid valve (S5) for controlling a clutch (B2) which is engaged in a particular drive range (L). In another drive range (D) in which the clutch (B2) is not engaged, an output pressure of the solenoid valve (S5) is inputted to the control circuit portion (8). A changeover valve (10) can be switched between a first position in which a first oil passage (L9) to be connected to an output side of the solenoid valve (S5) in the drive range (D) and a second oil passage (L11) to be communicated with the control circuit portion (8) are brought into communication with each other, and a second position in which this communication is shut off. The changeover valve (10) is switched to the first position by a hydraulic oil pressure which is generated at the time of establishing a predetermined transmission train other than the first-speed transmission train. An input oil passage (L14) inputs the first signal pressure to urge the changeover valve (10) to the first position in interlocking with switching of the changeover valve (10) to the first position. The first signal pressure is maintained to a constant pressure without influence by speed changing.

Abstract: A computer system (10) includes a central processing unit (12) and a memory management unit (18) having a plurality of functional units, such as a memory interface unit, a remote interface unit (60), a cache interface unit (70), and a translation unit (50). Each functional unit has a low priority error queue for storing error information for errors having a low priority. Some functional units also have a high priority error queue for storing error information for errors having a high priority error. Based on the status of the error queues, the memory management unit prioritizes and handles errors caused by hardware failures. For low priority errors, an interrupt request signal is sent to the central processing unit (122). For high priority errors, a RED ALERT signal is sent to the processing unit (112) to cause the processing unit to give immediate attention to the error. For high priority error queue overflows, a failure signal is generated (102) which causes the system to be halted and the contents of the system to be scanned out (104). Thus, errors are prioritized and handled accordingly.
