Abstract: An evaporated fuel treatment device comprising a
purge control valve arranged between a canister and an
intake passage of an engine. A drive pulse of the purge
control valve is controlled by a duty ratio. When the
purge action starts, the duty ratio is gradually
increased. In the region of a small duty ratio where the
flow rate of the purge control valve becomes unstable,
the duty ratio is either increased or else held constant
so that the duty ratio is not allowed to fall.

Abstract: A heat-resistant sheet, which has at least one slash
alone formed therein, is provided between a fixing roller
and a pressure member. The heat-resistant sheet, which has
a thickness of 300 µm, is coated with a synthetic resin
material having superior toner-releasing and heat-resisting
properties, or incorporates such a synthetic resin material
inside thereof. Here, a recording material is transported
between the fixing roller and the heat-resistant sheet. As
the surface temperature of the fixing roller rises, the
heat-resistant sheet starts expanding gradually, causing its
surface to be warped. However, unless the temperature of
the fixing roller exceeds a set temperature, the expansion
of the heat-resistant sheet and its surface deflection are
all absorbed by the slash. Therefore, it is possible to keep
an optimal nip width while maintaining a proper applied
pressure of the pressure member, without the necessity of
using a heat-releasing device or increase the thickness of
the heat-resistant sheet. As a result, a superior fixing
operation is available by using the heat-resistant sheet
having the slash alone.

Abstract: A MOS logic circuit in the present invention is
charged by adiabatic charging, and is composed of a clamp
circuit (CLP) having a pair of PMOS transistors (MP1,MP2), and two
functional circuits, each having at least one NMOS
transistor (MN1,MN2), a gate electrode of each of the NMOS
transistors being an input node, one terminal of each
functional circuit being connected to a common constant-voltage
power source, and the other terminal of each
functional circuit being connected to a drain electrode
of the corresponding PMOS transistor, thus forming an
output node. A substrate electrode of each of the NMOS
transistors making up the two functional circuits is
cross-connected to the output node of the other
functional circuit. In this way, even in the HOLD
operation, in which both input nodes fall to low level,
the NMOS transistor which is to output low level becomes
depletion mode, and the outputting operations are
stabilized without increasing circuit size.

Abstract: A superfluorescent fiber source outputs highly polarized light without a
substantial decrease in output power efficiency. According to one embodiment,
a polarizer is spliced within the superfluorescent fiber at a selected location along
the length of the fiber (e.g., near the middle of the fiber). According to another
embodiment, the entire length of the superfluorescent fiber is polarizing to
thereby assure that one of the polarizations of light is substantially extinguished
while the other polarization of light is nearly double the power which that
polarization would have if the polarizer were not present within the
superfluorescent fiber. In this manner, superfluorescent sources can be adapted
especially for use in fiber optic gyroscopes, or the like, which require highly
polarized light, without a substantial reduction in efficiency.

Abstract: A multiport polling system for a network switch including a plurality of network
ports, each including receive and transmit buffers. Each port includes port status logic for
providing status signals indicative of whether a corresponding port has received data from a
network device and whether a corresponding port has available space to receive data to
transmit to a network device. The network switch further includes a switch manager for
controlling data flow between the ports. The switch manager includes polling logic for
periodically polling the port status logic of each port for receiving the status signals, and a
memory for storing values indicative of the status signals for each port. In this manner, all
of the ports are simultaneously polled in a singe query and the receive and transmit status of
each port is maintained in the memory. This facilitates arbitration and control logic, which
continuously reviews the memory to determine when to retrieve data from a source port and
when to transmit data to one or more destination ports. The ports are preferably
implemented with quad cascade devices for providing multiplexed status signals.

Abstract: The method involves combining voltage pulses (U1,U2) of first and second converters with first and second degrees of modulation (m1,m2) so that a common voltage pulse (U1+U2) without gaps is produced. Preferably, during generation of the pulse width modulation using an undershoot method, the carrier signal of the first converter is shifted through an angle alpha with respect to the unchanged carrier signal of the second converter, where alpha is + or - half the sum of the degrees of modulation times 180 degrees. The combined voltage pulses are symmetrical to the previous and following combined voltage pulses. The carrier signals of the first converter with the first modulation degree are shifted by a first angle and the carrier signals of the second converter with the second modulation degree are shifted by a second angle.

Abstract: A voice messaging system enables a callee to specify a retention time for
retaining a stored voice message from a caller. The system then automatically deletes the stored
voice message after the expiration of the retention time. In one embodiment, the caller is able to
specify one retention time when the message is first recorded, and the callee can change that
retention time when the message is retrieved. If the message is not retrieved by the callee before
the caller-specified retention time expires, the system will automatically delete the message. In
one embodiment, a callee can also assign a retention time to an outgoing voice message for
playback to subsequent callers. The present invention improves the operations of a voice
messaging system with limited memory resources, by reducing the chances that the system's
memory will become filled with old messages which would leave the system unable to store new
messages from callers.
