Abstract: A regulator circuit is provided that allows recovery in a controlled manner in the shortest possible time from occasional power line disturbances such as momentary line dropouts or under voltage. The voltage used to control switching of the switch mode regulator follows the decrease in the output voltage during dropout, when switching of the switchmode regulator ceases. When the line returns, the voltage used to control the switching is allowed to ramp up to the desired value providing a controlled recovery.

Abstract: A soldering apparatus of a reflow type contains a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber which are provided with a plurality of heaters for heating printed circuit boards with chips temporarily mounted thereon with solder paste during conveyance by a conveyor. The heaters are arranged so as to progressively heat the circuit boards as they are conveyed through the apparatus and are isolated from one another so that a predetermined temperature differential from the previous heater can be secured. This removes bubbles generated upon fusion of the solder paste and minimizes heat shock on the chips as they are heated. The preheating chamber may be further provided with a combustion unit with a catalyst for removing fumes and odorous gases generated in the chamber and for circulating the heated air after removal of such fumes and gases. The invention can provide printed circuit boards of higher quality and with high productivity.

Abstract: A film processing system that removes film strips (37) from their cartridges (22), splices the strips together for processing and printing, and then separates the strips for return and reattachment to the same cartridge (22) from which they were removed. The empty cartridges are maintained during processing in a magazine (72) in the same sequential order and corresponding batch as the spliced film strips, to facilitate matching of the film strips (37) and cartridges (30) at the end of the process. According to other features, the spliced roll of film strips is unwound and rewound after development, once for electronically scanning the film strips to capture electronic representations of the developed images, and again for optically printing the developed images onto photographic paper. The film strips include magnetically recorded information, representing conditions of camera exposure, that are captured during scanning before printing.

Abstract: A tube (10) for partitioning a pre-selected phase of a sample of liquid having a plurality of phases of differing densities has a smaller diameter at one end (40). In use, a sample of liquid is passed through the first end of the tube and into a first chamber (20) of said tube. The first chamber is separated from a second chamber (21) located at a second opposed end of the tube by a separation device (19) slidably engaging the interior surface of the larger diameter part of the tube in an essentially fluid-tight manner and has a flow-restriction orifice (29) therein to permit fluid flow communication between the first and second chambers under the influence of force. The phases are then ordered within the tube using e.g. axial centrifugation. The volume of the first chamber (20) is reduced by movement of the separation device within the tube, such that one phase of the liquid in the first chamber flows through the flow-restriction orifice and into the second chamber. The method is monitored using the section of the tube that has the smaller diameter, which is transparent.

Abstract: A PAL television signal processing decoder (or encoder) has a comb filter with a cosine response with nulls at spatial frequencies corresponding respectively with U & V chrominance signals. The input signal and comb filter response are mixed such that between the frequency response nulls the input signal is added to the comb filter response and outside this band the two signals are subtracted. This provides improved recovery of fine diagonal luminance.

Abstract: An approximate solution Ya of a function F with respect to a given value X is derived by referring to a relation        Y=F(X)          at an accuracy at which an error between the approximate solution Ya and an infinitely precise solution Y is smaller than a weight of a digit in a place lower than a lowest place of significant digits for a final solution by two places. The approximate solution Ya is rounded to an interim solution Yr equal to one of possible interim solutions which is closest to the approximate solution Ya. A value Xr is derived from the interim solution Yr and an inverse function F -1  by referring to a relation            Xr=F       -1       (Yr)         . A sticky digit S is set to 0, 1, or -1 in response to the relation between the magnitudes of the values X and Xr and other information. The sticky digit S is added to a place immediately lower than a lowest place of the interim solution Yr. A result of this addition is rounded in a designated rounding mode to obtain the final solution. 
     An apparatus may be used for multiplying two numbers and subtracting a third number from the resulting product.

Abstract: Each information recording track (21) has pre-formatted fore and rear header sections (4a1, 4b1) containing address information identifying the track, which permit each of the recording tracks to be accessed from either of the header sections. A predetermined synchronization signal (F) is pre-formatted in a storing area (D) for each frame having a predetermined data size, so that information can be non-rewritably recorded onto the storing area for a predetermined frame by referring to the pre-formatted synchronization signal. With this arrangement, data can be recorded onto a selected information recording track in either of the directions of relative reciprocating movement of the recording medium to a recording/reproducing head, and thus the recording speed can be increased. The arrangement also allows data to be recorded even when one of the header sections has become unreadable due to some defect of the recording medium, and prevents occurrence of jitters in reproduced signals by allowing data to be recorded accurately at predetermined locations for each of the frames.

Abstract: A magazine has a plurality of storage ports 100 each of which retains a stylus module 14 for use in measuring workpiece dimensions on a coordinate measuring machine. Each storage port 100 is configured as a pair of jaws provided by docking inserts 114. A permanent magnet 118 is mounted on each docking insert 114. The lower casing of the stylus module 14 is urged against the inwardly facing edges 116 of the docking inserts 114 by the magnetic attraction force due the magnets 118. The stylus module 14 is engaged with a retaining module (on the quill of the machine) by moving the retaining module in a downward sense to engage the stylus module 14; further downward movement disengages the stylus module 14 from the storage port 100, thus enabling engagement of such a stylus module and removal of the module from the storage port in a single continuous movement.

Abstract: A connector holding device (A) is provided which is adapted to hold a connector (C) having a terminal insertion opening formed on a rear face (40) thereof and a retainer attachment opening (45) formed on an upper or lower face thereof. The connector holding device includes a pivot member (20) having a distal end portion (20b) which is to be engaged with the retainer attachment opening (45) with the connector C being held by a connector holding portion (14).

With the connector (C) being set in position, the inclined face (22) is engaged with the retainer attachment opening (45) in such a manner that the engagement depth gradually becomes greater along a terminal insertion direction. Even if a terminal is liable to deviate outward and project from the retainer attachment opening (45) during the insertion of the terminal, the inclined face (22) corrects the terminal insertion direction, thereby allowing the terminal to be assuredly accommodated in a terminal chamber (42). The connector holding device is inexpensive with a simple construction, and can be readily applied to an automated apparatus.
