Abstract: A hybrid type stepping motor includes coils (22, 23) located on
the outer or inner periphery of stator yokes (9, 10) provided on a
fixed shaft (1). This structure allows the coils to be disposed
more easily and thus at a lower cost. Furthermore, it is
possible to achieve a great increase in the density of
winding. Auxiliary magnetic plates and auxiliary magnets are
disposed at both ends of a stator yoke assembly so that a
magnetic circuit is formed at both ends. According to the
invention, a motor having any desired number of phases may be
achieved. A magnet (9A, 10A) is disposed in each space between
adjacent teeth (9a, 9b) of either a rotor or a stator or otherwise of
both rotor and stator. The magnetomotive force of the magnet
suppresses leakage magnetic flux and concentrates the
magnetic flux within the region between the rotor and stator.
As a result, in operation, an abrupt change in the magnetic
flux can be obtained, which leads to an increase in the
torque.

Abstract: The pro-liposome composition confers greater efficacy in
dyeing due to greater penetration of the dye into the fabric
fibres. 
     In bleaching, the humectant capacity of the liposomes formed
enhances the degree of final bleaching. 
     In smoothing, the addition of the pro-liposome composition
permits replacement of the substances normally used, thereby
providing savings in raw material and reduction of the final
pollutant content of the bath. 
     The method consists in mixing the pro-liposome composition
with the colorant(s) and the pre-heated water; stirring the
mixture until homogeneity is achieved; separately, mixing
sulphuric acid and pre-heated water; mixing the above
resulting mixtures and proceeding to bathing of the fabric
to be dyed.

Abstract: A conveyor belt is formed from moulded plastics belt elements, the
elements comprising sets of aligned hinge collars 10,12 which enable
collar sets of adjacent elements to be intercalated and the two elements
linked by a connecting pin 210. Pockets 22 for reception of the teeth of
driving sprockets are presented at spaced locations along a central web 24
of the element, the web being reduced in depth at each location for no
more than the axial width of two successive collars. To construct the
belt, the connecting pin is formed by cutting a suitable length of
cylindrical plastics rod and deforming an end portion to form an eccentric
head portion. The rod is next introduced through the intercalated collars
of the two elements to be joined and snapped through an end ring 202 (of
one of the elements) with some resilient deformation of the structure.
The end ring thereafter prevents accidental withdrawal of the pin.

Abstract: A liquid jet head is provided with discharge ports (18)
for discharging liquid, liquid flow paths (10) conductively
connected with the discharge ports, air bubble
generating areas (11) for creating air bubbles in the
liquid, and movable members (31) arranged to face the air
bubble generating areas, each having a free end (32) in a
position relatively near to the discharge port with
respect to a fulcrum (33) thereof. This movable member is
inclined to position the free end of the movable member
to release the air bubble generating area partly to the
discharge port so as to enable the tangential line of
the free end of the movable member on the side of the
air bubble generating area or the extended line thereof
to reach directly the discharge port formation area
having the discharge port on the liquid flow path side
before the creation of air bubble on the air bubble
generating area, and with this position as reference,
the movable member is displaced following the creation
of air bubble on the air bubble generating area. With
this arrangement, the liquid discharging efficiency and
speed are significantly enhanced as compared with the
conventional liquid jet head, and due to more
stabilized discharge of droplets from the discharge
ports, the quality of recorded images is improved.

Abstract: A phase measurement apparatus and method for measuring electrical
signal jitter and wander operates in real time and digitally controls bandwidths over
which the measurements are performed. The apparatus includes a digital phase-lock
loop (PLL) for generating phase difference signal data having first and second
frequency components above and below the loop bandwidth of the phase locked loop.
The PLL includes a digital signal processor (DSP), a direct digital synthesizer (DDS),
and a tracking oscillator, a phase detector, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The ADC digitizes the analog phase difference signal from the phase detector. The
DSP receives the digital data and performs a loop filter function for generating
frequency update values to the DDS for phase locking the PLL to an incoming signal.
The DSP performs an integration function on the loop filter function output to
generate the second frequency components. The first and second frequency
components are combined in a summing circuit and low and high pass filtered in
digitally programmable low and high pass filters for establishing measurement bands
for measuring the phase difference. A measurement processor includes a peak detector
and a summation accumulator for measuring peak-to-peak minimum and maximum
values and generating RMS values of the phase difference signal over a selected time
interval and generating an output in unit intervals for jitter and time for wander. The
DSP further includes low and high pass filter functions and an accumulator for
summing filtered second frequency components to generate wander data. The DSP
filter functions in combination with the digitally programmable low and high pass filters
having programmable filter breakpoints establish the measurement bandwidths. The
DSP processes the frequency update values to generate frequency drift data.

Abstract: When a stator start wire is held outwardly away
from a stator pole piece as a stator coil is being wound,
the segment of wire, termed the first end turn herein,
extending from the outwardly-placed start wire across the
front end face of a stator being wound may interfere with
the proper formation of the coil. Such interference is
reduced or eliminated by extending the first end turn
over a movable slack wire forming blade. When the slack
wire forming blade is initially engaged with the first
end turn, it pivots with the front placing blade to move
the start wire away from the pole piece and increase the
length of the first end turn. After the coil is
partially wound, the slack wire forming blade is moved
away from engagement with the first end turn so that the
first end turn becomes slack and, therefore, does not
interfere with the completion of the winding or the coil.

Abstract: In an infrared data-receiving circuit wherein an output
electric current of a photodiode is current-to-voltage
converted by a preamplifier and, after having been amplified
by an amplification circuit, is subjected to a waveform-shaping
operation in a comparator by using a predetermined
threshold value, the threshold voltage, upon receipt of a
low signal voltage, is set at the average value Vav that has
been formed by two LPFs and, upon receipt of a high signal
voltage, is also set at a shift value that has been obtained
by allowing the voltage, which has been generated by
shifting of a level shift circuit, to be sampled by a peak-hold
circuit constituted of a differential amplifier. Thus,
the apparatus is allowed to deal with a wide dynamic range.
Moreover, in this arrangement, a single capacitor may be
commonly used for an integrating operation in the LPFs and
for a holding operation in the peak-hold circuit so as to
provide a simple construction that is preferably applied to
an integrated circuit. Consequently, in the infrared data-receiving
circuit that uses the output from the photodiode
by subjecting it to the waveform-shaping operation, it
becomes possible to deal with a wide range of level
differences by using a simple construction.
