Abstract: A material testing machine includes a control system which,
during material testing, feedback-controls the operation of a
servo system which includes an actuator for applying a load to
a test piece, such that the actual load applied to the test piece
coincides with the target load. The testing machine includes a
waveform generator for generating a testing waveform indicative
of the target load. The waveform generator includes a waveform
data memory which stores therein a series of basic signal values
sampled from a basic waveform so as to pick up a characteristic
of the basic waveform. During the material testing, each of the
basic signal values is repeatedly read out from the data memory,
whereby the testing waveform indicating the target load is
generated based on these basic signal values. An error between
the controlled variable and the target load is determined based
on peak and bottom values of the controlled variable, and the
target load is corrected in accordance with the determined error,
to thereby improve the responsiveness of the servo system.

Abstract: An ink-jet head is formed by partitioning a
plurality of ink chambers consisting of piezoelectric
members from each other. Ink chambers (17) which emit
ink and dummy ink chambers (18) which do not emit ink
are arranged alternately, and an ink is supplied to the
ink chambers from a common ink chamber. This ink head
is used to perform sequentially emission of an ink drop
from the ink chambers for a plurality of times, to
achieve gradation printing, while the emission speed of
the ink drops is gradually increased such that ink
drops emitted later are merged with ink drops emitted
earlier thereby to form one-dot liquid drop. In this
case, where adjacent ink chambers with a dummy ink
chamber inserted therebetween are simultaneously driven,
timings of drive pulse voltages q1 and q2 applied to
both of the adjacent ink chambers are shifted from each
other such that the pressure in one of the adjacent ink
chambers is decreased when the pressure in the other of
the adjacent ink chamber is increased.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for operating a wireless terminal or mobile station in a
wireless telecommunications system. A first method includes steps of (a)
transmitting a telephone number that includes an identifier for specifying that a
user of the mobile station is calling a second mobile station that is believed to be
roaming in a current serving system; (b) receiving the telephone number in the
current serving system, typically at a mobile switching center (MSC); (c) detecting
the presence of the identifier and, in response, determining if the telephone
number is one that is stored in a Visitor Location Register (VLR) of the current
serving system. If yes, the method includes a step (d) of paging the second
mobile station in the current serving system. In one embodiment the step of
transmitting includes an initial step of entering an identifier character into a
memory of the mobile station, followed by the telephone number of the second
mobile station. In a second embodiment the step of transmitting includes an initial
step of entering the telephone number of the second mobile station into the
memory of the mobile station, followed by the identifier character. In a second
method the MSC automatically determines if a received telephone number is one
that is associated with a potential roamer. If yes, the MSC checks to see if the
telephone number is present in the MSC's VLR. If yes, the mobile station
associated with the telephone number is paged.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'utilisation de l'échappement des moteurs à combustion interne d'une centrale électrique à cycle mixte à production de vapeur dans laquelle la qualité et la distribution des gaz d'échappement vers les chaudières est gérée de manière à obtenir un meilleur rendement global et à réduire les émissions polluantes. L'air extérieur est uniquement mélangé à la portion des gaz d'échappement passant par les orifices d'alimentation des brûleurs en tant que gaz de combustion secondaire ou de niveau élevé. Le reliquat des gaz d'échappement parvient aux chaudières par un parcours ne passant pas par les brûleurs. Le meilleur rendement global est atteint lorsque la quantité d'air extérieur mélangé à la portion des gaz d'échappement passant par les brûleurs est tel que le mélange contienne à peu près la quantité minimale d'oxygène requise pour une combustion complète et stable du carburant sélectionné, une partie substantielle de la totalité des gaz d'échappement étant dirigée vers les chaudières par un parcours différent de celui passant par les brûleurs, la quantité de carburant étant par ailleurs suffisante pour obtenir la température désirée d'entrée dans les chaudières lors de sa combustion. Les polluants sont réduits par une combinaison de recombustion étagée, de réduction sélective non catalytique et de réduction catalytique sélective, s'opérant en différents points des parcours de combustion et d'échappement.
