Abstract: In a data transmitting/receiving apparatus, a master clock signal and a slave clock signal different in phase are produced according to a basic clock signal. Serial data (Q) are input according to the produced master or slave clock signal, a protocol process is applied to the input serial data, and the serial data (W) that have been subjected to the protocol process are output according to the master or slave clock signal. A start delimiter detecting signal (S) is generated when a start delimiter (11) indicating the first frame is detected in the input serial data (Q). Phases are exchanged between the master and slave clock signals when there arises a shift on a bit boundary of the serial data at the point in time when the start delimiter detecting signal (S) is generated, and the serial data are output according to the master or slave clock signal having the phases exchanged each other. Thus, the serial data are transmitted without delay despite a shift arising on the bit boundary of the serial data.

Abstract: A system provides question answering based on fuzzy logic. The proposed system provides the capability to assess if a database contains information pertinent to a subject of interest by evaluating each comment in the database via a fuzzy evaluator which attributes a fuzzy membership value indicating its relationship to such subject. An assessment is provided for the database as a whole regarding its pertinence to the subject of interest, and consequently comments that are considered as irrelevant to the subject may be discarded. The system has been developed for the examination of databases and evaluated by testing against those which were created for assessing whether computer system development databases contain information pertinent to the functional changes that would occur in the development cycle. The system can be applied with minimal changes to a variety of circumstances provided that the fundamental assumptions for the development of the membership functions are respected for the application.

Abstract: Ashing containers which are useful for ashing analytic samples in microwave heated furnaces or muffle furnaces, and which are heat resistant, walled, light in weight, microwave transmissive and porous, are manufactured by a process in which quartz microfibers are suspended in water, deposited on a foraminous form to produce a container shape, dried, using vacuum and heating, removed from the form and sintered to final form retaining shape. The ashing containers made are capable of being used repeatedly in ashings effected at temperatures of about 1,000°C. The ashing containers, being light in weight, facilitate accurate weighings of ash produced, and the containers heat up and cool down quickly. Additionally, they can be used for analysis of flours, in which ethanolic solutions of magnesium acetate are flamed, without necessitating separate flaming operations to avoid explosive combustions and losses of sample or ash. The disclosed processes can also be used to make similar containers of borosilicate glass useful as containers for materials to be heated to relatively high temperatures.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring wind speed and direction includes: a wind vane (20) which has a permanent magnet (30), an anemometer which has a permanent magnet (24) and a ferromagnetic member (28), and a stationary housing (10) which has a radially mounted reed switch (22) and an axially mounted reed switch (26). 
     As the anemometer spins in the wind, the magnet in the anemometer closes the radially mounted reed switch, once per revolution. This produces a signal having a frequency proportional to wind speed. 
     The magnet in the wind vane rotates around the stationary housing to a point determined by the direction of the wind. This magnet produces enough flux to keep the axially mounted reed switch closed. 
     The ferromagnetic member is mounted in the anemometer so that it is interposed between the magnet in the wind vane and the axially mounted reed switch once per revolution. This draws flux away from the axially mounted reed switch, allowing it to open. The result is a second output signal having the same frequency as the first output signal but having a phase, with respect to the first output signal that depends on the wind direction. 
     The direction of the fluid flow is determined by computing the phase difference between the first and second output signals.

Abstract: High speed Group III-Sb materials are n-doped in a molecular beam epitaxy process by forming a superlattice with n-doped strained layers of a Group III-V compound upon Group III-Sb base layers. The base layers have lower conduction band energy levels than the strained layers, and allow doping electrons from the strained layers to flow into the base layers. The base layers preferably comprise Al x Ga 1-x Sb, while the strained layers preferably comprise a binary or ternary compound such as Al y Ga 1-y As having a single Group V component, where x and y are each from 0 to 1.0. The strained layers can be n-doped with silicon or tin, which would produce p-type doping if added directly to the base layers.

Abstract: An inspection camera (18) is supported on a vehicle (10) so as to be rotatable about a longitudinal axis (24) and pivotable about an axis (28) at right angles thereto, and in each case motor-driven. Angle-measuring transmitters are allocated to these drives. The measured values are fed to a microprocessor as variable. Evaluation electronics (32) calculate the respective sight-line length (L) of the camera from these variables together with two tube/device-specific constants. As a function of this sight-line length (L), the camera is automatically focused and the illumination is adapted in such a way that the illumination density remains constant. The separation between two target points on the pipe wall is determined by a computer subtraction of the two sight-line vectors to the two target points. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cathodic electrodeposition paint containing a cationically modified epoxy resin and a crosslinker dispersed in an acidic aqueous medium is disclosed. The paint contains an auxiliary resin component capable of improving the surface smoothness of the cured paint films. The auxiliary resin is a reaction product produced by reacting a t-alkylphenol novolac epoxy resin with an active hydrogen compound to open all epoxy rings. When the auxiliary resin has a hydroxyl group introduced by the reaction with the active hydrogen compound, a lactone or alkylene oxide is addition reacted with the hydroxyl group for grafting a soft segment to the auxiliary resin. By grafting a soft segment, the auxiliary resin improves not only the surface smoothness but also the impact strength of the paint films.

Abstract: In order to prevent a car from being broken into or stolen, the invention proposes a security device which is formed by a lock fitted slidably in each door of the car, which lock is connected to and driven by a drive element (12a, 12b). The lock can be slid by means of said drive element so that it engages with or is disconnected from an opening disposed in the frame of the car door in question. For this purpose, the drive elements are accommodated in an electrical circuit which also contains the voltage supply of the vehicle and a switch element. The security device can be turned on by means of said switch element, in order to lock all car doors securely. This switch element is therefore situated outside the passenger compartment. In another embodiment the security device is suitable in particular for the loading door of a lorry, which door has two locking rods (31,34; 32,35) which are axially slidable in opposite directions to each other, and which each interact with an opening disposed in the doorframe thereof. This embodiment is distinguished by the fact that each locking rod is connected to a drive element (12a, 12b), which drive elements are disposed in opposite directions in order to move the two rods simultaneously in opposite directions. The two drive elements are again accommodated in a control circuit (50) containing a voltage supply and a switch element.
