Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for coiler drum alternation in incessant hot rolling in which continual finish hot rolling of rough-rolled sheet bars united on the entry side of a finishing hot rolling mill is carried out by tilting upper and lower tillable pinch rolls disposed on the exit side of a shear on the downstream of the finishing mill, thereby changing the traveling direction of the steel strip so that a leading end formed upon cutting the strip will be directed toward the next coiler drum to be used, and thereafter cutting the strip. This process enables an easy and assured alternation of coiler drums, thereby contributing to increases in the speed and efficiency of incessant hot rolling.

Abstract: When a tap switch is operated at desired beats during automatic music pay, the tempo of the automatic play is variably controlled in correspondence with the interval between the tap operations. On the other hand, detection is made of a difference (PDI) between the current score time (PCU) at a tap switch operation time (t1, t2, t3, t4) and the score time (PES) of a beat point corresponding to the tap switch operation time. Then, control is made for progressively changing the current score time in order to eliminate the detected score time difference. Thus, the score time difference is progressively eliminated in smooth manner, so that necessary notes can be sequentially sounded without being left out. The control for progressively changing the current score time may be performed in accordance with a predetermined function. Further, the control for progressively changing the current score time may be performed with a characteristic such that it is automatically changed in view of the number of notes in the automatic play.

Abstract: A method of gray scale printing of dots of one or more colors into pixels and in a controlled ordered sequence into a plurality of super pixels defined by a given number of said pixels, characterized in that: one or more levels of dot loading (Pg. 29 line 20 et seq.) are used to achieve different values of gray level in a multiple-level gray table. This generic method is applicable to both ink jet and electrophotographic printing species of this invention. 
     In one electrophotographic printing species of this invention, there is disclosed a method of electrophotographic color printing which includes mixing a plurality of colors in a single plane and in dot-next-to-dot (DND) pixels within a plurality of super pixels to produce a color image, whereby the sum or the multi-color dots printed in any super pixel is limited to the number of subdivided individual pixels therein (Pg 28 line 19 et seq.), thereby assuring dot-next-to-dot (DND) always printing of said colors in a single plane. The above method further includes varying the area of each printed color dot within each pixel of a super pixel in order to control the gray scale of a printed color image. 
     Gray scale printing is achieved by controlling the selection of a gray table entry level number (Pg. 29 line 20 et seq.) representative of one of several available entry level numbers corresponding to a plurality of different dot loadings for a corresponding plurality of differently printed super pixels.

Abstract: An instruction memory apparatus for a data processing unit stores a sequence of instructions. At each instruction fetch cycle, two sequentially adjacent instructions are accessed. An instruction preprocessing unit, coupled to the internal instruction memory, combines the two sequentially adjacent instructions into a single long instruction word when the two instructions meet predefined criteria for being combined. The first of the two instructions is combined with a no-operation instruction to generate along instruction word when the predefined criteria are not met. In that case, the second instruction may be accessed again during the next instruction fetch cycle as the first of two adjacent instructions.

Abstract: An insulated lead frame is disclosed. The preferred embodiment contains a lead over chip lead frame (25) having an aluminum oxide insulator (30) on portions of the power supply busses (28) where no electrical connections will be made. The aluminum oxide (30) may be easily deposited by an arc deposition process such as by plasma deposition. A mask prohibits the aluminum oxide from coating the places on the power supply busses where electrical connection, such as by wire bond, will be made. Wire bonds crossing over the power supply busses (28) as they connect bond pads (23) to the lead fingers (27) of the lead frame (25) are therefore less likely to short to the insulated power supply busses (28). A semiconductor packaged device having an aluminum oxide coating to the underside of the chip support pad is also disclosed. The aluminum oxide coating promotes adhesion between the chip support pad and the encapsulant, that is typically plastic, thereby preventing the chance of delamination and package cracking.

Abstract: A multi-CPU programmable controller operates to access one of a plurality of I/O interface units through a common I/O bus for controlling one of a plurality of equipments connected to the I/O units. The system comprises a pair of controller units with individual CPUs which operate in accordance with specific programs independently from each other such that each controller unit generates an access signal to access one of the I/O units for controlling the associated equipment within one bus cycle. The controller units, I/O bus and I/O units are mounted on a single base board. The board includes a bus arbitrator having a sampling clock and supervising access signals from the two controller units to determine based upon a timing of the sampling clock which of the controller units is first to generate the access signal when the access signals are received within the one bus cycle from the two controller units, thereby giving priority to one of the two controller units over the other. The bus arbitrator allows to the one prior controller unit to use the I/O bus and access the corresponding I/O unit while stalling the other controller unit so long as the latter generates the access signal within the bus cycle during which the prior controller units accesses the corresponding I/O unit, and allows the other controller unit to use the I/O bus and access the corresponding I/O units upon completion of the access from the prior controller unit.
