Abstract: The circular knitter, for hosiery with closed points at one end, has an intermediate transfer stage between taking the secured portion of the knitted hosiery from the hooks (30) of the hook plate (3) and onwards transfer. The intermediate stage transfers the portion of the hosiery held by the plate (3) hooks (30) to the unit to shape the pocket (ST) for the point and/or the pocket shaping system at the needle (2) cylinder (1). The intermediate movement stage is effected by the needles of the cylinder. The hosiery is knitted by the first row of needles, with the stitches held by the hooks of the plate, which gather the knitting threads to support the stocking point, and the rows of stitches are cast off successively to form the point shape in a pocket. When the pocket has been shaped, and the threads cut, the hooks move the stocking fabric to the first row of needles and transfer the stocking to the needles over a given length of the needle row. The hooks are moved back so that all the stocking fabric is held by the needles and the hook group is raised to extend the machine head.

Title: Method and apparatus for simultaneous measurement of different radiations
Inventor: NITTOH KOICHI
IPC: G01T1/20
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: A radiation discriminative measurement is
performed by using a radiation discriminative measuring
apparatus which comprises a radiation source for radiating
radiations (1), first, second and third scintillators (7,8,9) disposed
in a region which is irradiated with the radiations
radiated from the radiation source, and an image pickup
means to deal with the light beams emitted from the first,
second and third scintillators and the discrimination
measurement includes the steps of arranging the first,
second and third scintillators in a region which is
irradiated with the radiations radiated from the radiation
source, causing the first scintillator to respond to type
A, type B and type C radiations radiated from the radiation
source and to emit alight beam in a first wavelength
region, causing the second scintillator to respond to type
B and type C radiations which pass through the first
scintillator so as to to emit a light beam in a second
wavelength region, and causing the third scintillator to
respond to a type C radiation which passes through the
third scintillator so as to emit a light beam in a third
wavelength region which is different from said first and
second wavelength regions. The data of the scintillators
are corrected in accordance with the wavelengths and the
measurement of radiations according to the type thereof is
discriminated and simultaneously measured.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a variable
length register device which can be used not only for assigning
an address of a memory but also as a general register. A memory
outputs an instruction to gain access to a variable length
register. A decoder decodes the instruction supplied from the
memory and composes discriminators for assigning the variable
length register and used areas therein. The first selectors
read data stored in the used areas, which are assigned in the
specified variable length register, in accordance with the
discriminators composed in the decoder, and coordinates the
areas storing the data therein. An arithmetic logical unit
carried out operations based on the data read from the first
selectors. The second selector reads the data outputted from
the arithmetic logical unit, and stores them in the variable
length register coordinating the used areas.

Abstract: A unique feed structure for improving the cross-polarization
performance of a reflector antenna system (10) is disclosed.
According to the present invention, the feed structure
is an array (22) including a number of feeds (40, 45, 55, 60,
65, 70, 75, 80), which are rotated in a predetermined fashion
to yield superior cross polarization performance of the antenna
system. The array feed (50) in the center of the feed structure
is positioned approximately in the focus of the antenna reflector
(18). The array feeds located on the y-axis (40, 45, 55,
60) are slightly rotated in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise
manner. The magnitude of the rotation is proportional
to the distance of the feeds (40, 45, 50, 60) from the x-axis
along the y-axis. The rotation of the feeds (40, 45, 55, 60)
yields significant performance in cross polarization performance,
while having little or no co-polarization effect.

IPC: H02J1/00

Abstract: In a domestic electrical appliance such as a television,
a power must be continuously applied to an infrared ray receiving
circuit and a microcomputer because the electrical appliance
receives a remote control signal even if an image reception turns
off. This is called "waiting-time consumed power." However, the
efficiency of the AC-DC converter is low, and the power of about
1 W is consumed only for such a waiting-time consumed power. Under
the existing environment issue, a demand is made to reduce the
consumed power at the waiting time as much as possible, which cannot
be achieved by the existing circuit structure at all. 
     Electricity is stored in electric charge storing means such
as a secondary battery or an electric double layer capacitor so
as to supply a power to the microcomputer and an infrared ray
receiving circuit without always operating the AC-DC converter.
Before a voltage across the electric charge storing means becomes
lower than a given value, specifically, the lowest operating voltage
of the microcomputer and the infrared ray receiving circuit, the
AC-DC converter is operated to charge the electric charge storing
means whereas before the voltage arises to the given voltage,
specifically, the highest operating voltage of the microcomputer
and the infrared ray receiving circuit, the AC-DC converter stops
charging the electric charge storing means. With the above
operation, the operating frequency of the AC-DC converter is reduced 
so that the power consumed by the AC-DC converter which is the worst
in power efficiency is reduced, thereby making it possible to reduce
the entire waiting-time consumed power.

a first connecting point (1) electrically to a second
connecting point (2) in a non-activated state and
connects the first connecting point (1) to a third connecting
point (3) in an activated state,
   and a second electrically activatable relay (22) which
connects a first connecting point (la) electrically to a
second connecting point (2a) in a non-activated state and
connects the first connecting point (la) to a third connecting
point (3a) in an activated state,   an inductive load being coupled directly or via additional
coupled electric components between the two first
connecting points (1) and (la) so that the inductive load
is connected to a power supply in given positions of the
relays (2, 3a; 3, 2a),   said circuit being adapted to activate both relays (21,
22) when the voltage drop across the inductive load is to
be interrupted or inverted.    
     According to the invention, sparking in the contact assembly
of the relay is avoided when the current to the
motor is cut off. The service life of the relay is
thereby increased significantly, as it is typically the
wear caused by sparking which limits the service life of
a relay.
