Abstract: Arrangement for disc brakes having so-called floating suspension containing a brake disc (3) and a brake caliper (2) which is movably mounted on a caliper holder (1) for axial motions relative to the brake disc (3). The brake caliper (2) has at least one pair of brake pads (7,9) having friction linings (14,15) intended to be brought to bear against braking surfaces on the brake disc (3). Load-bearing supporting surfaces (17-20) hold the brake pads normally in their intended positions in the caliper (2) by absorbing the forces acting mainly on the brake pads (7,9) due to friction against the brake disc (3) by cooperating with edge surfaces on the brake pads (7,9). These supporting surfaces (17-20) extend over only a part of the space up to the brake disc (3) to an imaginary geometrical delimiting plane for each brake pad (7,9), said plane extending parallel to the brake disc (3). The brake pads (7,9) have protrusions (24,25), each of which extend into an opening (28,29) in the caliper (2) or caliper holder (1), one opening (28,29) being provided for each protrusion (24,25). The protrusions (24,25) normally maintain no load-absorbing cooperation with the caliper (2) or caliper holder (1) but rather have normally a play between parts of the protrusions (24,25) and the corresponding openings (28,29). The openings (28,29) extend axially closer to the brake disc (3) than the supporting surfaces (17-20) so that when the brake pads (7,9) and brake disc (3) are worn down to such a degree that the brake pads (7,9) can move axially beyond the delimiting plane for the supporting surfaces (17-20), said parts of the protrusions (24,25) are caused during braking, by contacting reserve supporting surfaces (30) in the openings (28,29), to absorb the forces acting on the brake pads (7,9) due to friction against the brake disc (3).

Abstract: A method for forming reactive metal silicide layers at two spaced locations on a silicon substrate, which layers can be of different thicknesses and/or of different reactive metal is provided. A silicon substrate (10) has a silicon dioxide layer (14) formed thereon followed by the formation of a polysilicon layer (16) on the silicon dioxide layer (14), followed by forming layer of refractory metal (18), e.g. titanium on the polysilicon (16). A non-reflecting material (20), e.g. titanium nitride is formed on the refractory metal (18). Conventional photoresist techniques are used to pattern the titanium nitride (20), the titanium (18) and polysilicon (16), and the titanium (18) is reacted with the contacted polysilicon (16) to form a titanium silicide (24). The portion of silicon dioxide (14) overlying the silicon substrate is then removed and the exposed substrate is ion implanted to form source/drain regions (27). A second layer of refractory metal (28), either titanium or some other refractory metal, is deposited over the source/drain region (27), and either over the titanium nitride (20), or over the first formed silicide (24) by first removing the titanium nitride (20). The second layer of refractory metal (28) is reacted with the substrate at the source/drain region (27) to form a refractory metal silicide (30), after which the unreacted refractory metal (28) is removed.

Abstract: A method of passively aligning optical receiving elements such as fibers (11) to the active elements of a light generating chip (10) includes the steps of forming two front (12, 13) and one side (14) pedestal structures on the surface of a substrate body (17), defining a vertical sidewall (18) of the chip to form a mating channel having an edge at a predetermined distance from the first active element, mounting the chip (10) epi-side down on the substrate surface, and positioning the fibers in fiber-receiving channels so that a center line of each fiber is aligned to a center line of a respective active element. When mounted, the front face of the chip is abutting the contact surfaces of the two front pedestals (12, 13), and the defined sidewall (18) of the mating channel is abutting the contact surface of the side pedestal (14). The passive alignment procedure is also effective in aligning a single fiber to a single active element.

Abstract: A special-purpose hardware and a method for data searching in a dababase or in file processing is disclosed for searching data which is flexible with regard to a change in data length. 
     Therefore, as a means for realizing expansibility for a change in data length, it is considered to divide the data every certain fixed number of bits (every m-th bit) and then to process the divided data. Concretely, this becomes an arrangement in which a plurality of processors each processing the m-bit data are connected. A change in the data length can be coped with by altering the connected number of processors. In this case, it is required to exchange information among the processors, and the quantity of the exchange information needs to be rendered small. The present invention is so constructed that the processor processing certain m bits receives input information from only the processor processing immediately upper m bits and delivers output information to only the processor processing immediately lower m bits.

Abstract: At the time of playing a disk (2), TOC information in a lead-in area will be read out first after loading of the disk (2) is complete. The player (1) determines whether the disk (2) to be played is an audio disk (CD) or a memory disk (CD-ROM) based on identifying information in the TOC information. If the disk (2) is the memory disk the operation goes directly to a pause mode so that upon reception of a read command transition to the searching for a designated address is promptly executed to quickly read out the desired data. Only when the disk (2) being played is the audio disk, the audio system is changed to the audio disk from another source, thus permitting a user to view a map while listening to the previous source. When playing for an area having a series of group information recorded is complete in special play mode, the mode is quickly changed to the pause mode in the case of the memory disk to wait for the read command, thus ensuring quick reading of designated map data. If the disk discrimination result indicates the memory disk a muting process is performed to inhibit a sound generation from a loudspaker. If in this case there are operation commands originating from erroneous confirmation by the user, at least one of the commands is ignored. Further, transimission of a digital signal acquired by an EFM demodulator (9) to a signal processor including a D/A converter (12) is cut off, thus preventing electirc power from being wastefully consumed in the D/A converter (12).

Abstract: Device A in a public key cryptographic network will be constrained to continue to faithfully practice a security policy dictated by a network certification center, long after device A's public key PUMa has been certified. If device A alters its operations from the limits encoded in its configuration vector, for example by loading a new configuration vector, device A will be denied participation in the network. To accomplish this enforcement of the network security policy dictated by the certification center, it is necessary for the certification center to verify at the time device A requests certification of its public key PUMa, that device A is configured with the currently authorized configuration vector. Device A is required to transmit to the certification center a copy of device A's current configuration vector, in an audit record. The certification center then compares device A's copy of the configuration vector with the authorized configuration vector for device A stored at the certification center. If the comparison is satisfactory, then the certification center will issue the requested certificate and will produce a digital signature dSigPRC on a representation of device A's public key PUMa, using the certification center's private certification key PRC. Thereafter, if device A attempts to change its configuration vector, device A's privacy key PRMa corresponding to the certified public key PUMa, will automatically become unavailable for use in communicating in the network.

Abstract: A delay line generates a sequence of outputs which change state at known intervals after a state change in a single clock input. These outputs are suitable for driving various types of microcontrollers which need accurately timed delay signals. A separate reset input is provided, and is capable of being connected to each of the delay elements within the delay line individually. This allows the entire delay line to be reset to a known state in a short period of time. As a result, each new clock cycle which is applied to the delay line always begins with the delay line reset to such known state. This eliminates the necessity for external logic to be used to determine whether an output signal is valid as belonging to the current clock cycle.
