Abstract: A system for determining torque generated by a motor actuated operator (10) driving a partial turn valve (14) including a torque ring (24) replacing the cover of the operator housing, a frictional shaft coupling member (40) coupling the inner circumferential surface of the drive sleeve (26) within the operator housing to the central shaft (32) of a torque plug (30) projecting from the operator through the torque ring. Two or more stops (50,60) are provided projecting from the torque ring on either side of the central shaft. A cross member (34) is provided extending radially outwardly from the central shaft of the torque plug to contact each of the stops when the operator is driven.

Abstract: A color variable filter for obtaining tranmission light or irradiation light of desired wavelength band electrically in a short time by using liquid crystal, and a novel electronic appliance using such color variable filter. The light entering a color variable filter 1 from one side passes through a liquid crystal element Ci composed of polarizer PLi, liquid crystal panel Pi and polarizer PL(i+1), and the distribution of the transmission light intensity versus the wavelength is nearly a normal distribution centered on a specific wavelength determined on the basis of retardation Δnd of the liquid crystal panel Pi in the liquid crystal element Ci. On the basis of the half-value width W necessary in this distribution, the retardation Δnd of the liquid crystal panel Pi and the number N of the liquid crystal elements Ci are so determined to obtain the band width Rout in the wavelength corresponding to the type of the color of the light desired. The retardation Δnd of the liquid crystal panel Pi is changed, by a voltage regulating circuit 5, so that the transmission light intensity distribution of the liquid crystal element Ci may be maximum at the desired wavelength λO. Therefore, the wavelength of the light leaving the color variable filter 1 may be selected.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for monitoring the functioning of a special operational mode on an integrated circuit module (20) without the need for a special or dedicated pin. By monitoring the data output pins (47) of the module operation in a special operational mode and premature interruption thereof, is detected. Delayed transition from a state of low impedance to a state of high impedance during the data output cycle is indicative of the special operational mode. The modules (20) which usually have tri-state devices (22) on their output lines (47) are provided with delay circuitry to delay the transition of the tri-state device (22), during the data output cycle, from a state of low impedance to a state of high impedance while the device remains in a special operating mode.

Abstract: A two-stage Joule-Thomson cryostat (10) has a first-stage cryostat (12) with a helical-coil heat exchanger (14) and an isenthalpic gas expansion orifice (20) that discharges a mixture of cooled gas and cryogenic liquid into a liquid cryogen plenum (26). A second-stage cryostat (30) with a helical coil heat exchanger (32), wound to a larger diameter than the first-stage heat exchanger coil (14), Is wound around and in thermal contact with the liquid cryogen plenum (26). This arrangement achieves a high degree of interstage heat transfer and cooling of the gas flowing in the second-stage heat exchanger coil (32) by the liquid cryogen in the first-stage liquid cryogen plenum (26). In operation, a gas flow management system (60), designed for rapid cooldown, initially passes a first gas of high specific refrigerating capacity through both stages (12 and 30). When the stages and structure are sufficiently cooled to the near-vicinity of the normal boiling temperature of the first gas, the flow of the first gas through the second-stage cryostat (30) is discontinued, and a flow of a second gas of lower normal boiling temperature than the first gas is passed through the second-stage cryostat (30). The flow of the first gas continues through the first-stage cryostat (30).

Abstract: A diesel engine has a fuel injection nozzle to which pressurized fuel is supplied from a pump (1). The nozzle (4) has a pressure sensor (47) detecting the fuel pressure and a lift sensor (48) sensing a lift magnitude of a needle valve. An electronic control unit (ECU) (71) computes a variation ratio of the fuel pressure value which is measured by the pressure sensor. The ECU computes a non-increasing point in an increasing part of variation ratio and judge the point to be a timing for starting the fuel injection of the nozzle. The EPU also computes the actual fuel injection amount in accordance with the fuel injection timing as well as the fuel pressure and the lift amount of the needle valve both at the various points. The EPU control the actual injection amount to be identical to a target fuel injection amount.

The reconstructed user data in a user data sector of the inoperative disk is written into the corresponding parity sector in place of the parity entry therein, before any new data is written into the corresponding sector of an operative disk. Information identifying the inoperative disk is written into a specified identification region (21) of the parity disk to indicate that such operation has occurred. The new data is then written into the corresponding sector of the operative disk.

Abstract: An improved process for planarizing an isolation trench in the fabrication of a semiconductor chip involves replacing the photoresist material used for planarization with a hard mask film. The hard mask material must be able to gap fill ("planarize") narrow trenches which do not receive a planarization block mask (or "filler mask") to protect them during the subsequent hard mask film etch. The hard mask film is typically conformal over large features and thus will not be susceptible to pattern density effects. Using the hard mask material, all active areas/trenches appear the same after planarization, independent of pattern density. Further, the hard mask material may subsequently be polished so that there are no peaks or spikes and no depressions.

Abstract: The dry shaver comprises a head frame (3) mounting at least one cutter head (5). The cutter head includes a holder (50) carrying an outer foil (58) and an inner cutter (70) which is driven to move in shearing contact with the outer foil. A spring (82) is provided to give a biasing force to bias the inner cutter against the outer foil so as to develop a contacting pressure therebetween. The shaver includes a floating support structure for floatingly supporting the holder (50) to the head frame (3) so that the cutter head (5) can be depressed relative to the head frame (3). The floating support structure comprises an elastic member (34,34A,34B,34C,34D,150,131,132,33) which gives an elastic force when the cutter head is displaced relative to the head frame such that cutter head receives a floating force which is a combination of the biasing force and the elastic force and which becomes greater as the cutter head is depressed further. The elastic member develops the elastic force which gives a non-linear relation between the displacement of the cutter head and a depression load applied thereto, and that the non-linear relation has a node of changing elastic constant for displacement of the holder such that the elastic constant is greater when the cutter head is depressed further beyond the node than otherwise. Since the elastic member is only responsible for changing the elastic constant as the cutter head is depressed, the cutter head can be given a light floating force initially and be given an moderately increasing floating force thereafter, yet without resorting to an undue increase in the contacting pressure between the outer foil and the inner cutter.
