Abstract: A faucet-mounted filter in which a housing is positioned in flow transmitting relation with the water flow line. A microporous, filter is positioned to sealingly occlude water flow through the housing so that all water flow through the housing must pass through porous walls of the filter. The pores of the filter walls are no larger than 0.22 micron, as measured by the particles that the pores pass. Thus the filter is capable of microbial filtering.

Abstract: A dual chamber cardiac pacemaker incorporating a microprocessor-based controller which is programmed to automatically establish an A-V interval at a value which provides optimum cardiac function but without the need for a special sensor for measuring cardiac function is described. The microprocessor is programmed to continuously monitor heart rate and variation in heart rate and only when the patient is stable, enter a parameter adjustment loop in which the pacemaker's A-V interval is incremented in several discrete steps and for each step, the corresponding average steady-state heart rate is measured and stored. When the A-V interval incrementation process causes that interval to reach a predetermined upper limit, the pacemaker's A-V interval is set at the value that corresponds with the minimum average heart rate to thereby maximize cardiac performance.

Abstract: A computer system includes a CPU and an external storage. The CPU executes address conversion referring to a real-virtual address conversion table containing a page table. The external storage is randomly accessible and rewritable. The page table is rewritten so that program codes are arranged in a continuous executing order on a virtual address space of the CPU. The CPU reads the program from the external storage by using the virtual addresses, referring to the real-virtual address conversion table containing the page table, and executes the program. The real addresses of the CPU are assigned to only a data area of the randomly accessible storage. Programs can be executed without reading them on the main memory. Programs and data can be managed in the same manner without distinction on the randomly accessible and rewritable memory.

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus in which, under the control of a protocol computing unit (PMC), which is connected to a computer (PC) via an interface (PCS), data can be written to a knowledge base memory (KBM) in the form of a dual-ported RAM, and read from it by the fuzzy logic coprocessor (FLC), and in which some of the address bus signals (AFLC) which are generated by the fuzzy logic coprocessor can be synchronised by a synchronisation circuit (SYNC), written to a FIFO memory, and read by the protocol computing unit. The invention also concerns a method by which step-by-step debugging (on-line debugging) is possible, without a host computing unit (MC) of the fuzzy logic coprocessor being loaded with it, so that the time behaviour of a fuzzy controller under emulation is different from normal operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A double-side image forming apparatus forms an image on one side of a sheet in a laser printer section, reverses the leading edge and the trailing edge of the sheet with respect to the transporting direction in a turnaround section, turns over the sheet by moving the sheet through upper and lower reversing transport paths, and transports the sheet to the laser printer section again. At this time, a sheet guiding device guides the sheet output from the turnaround section to one of the upper and lower reversing transport paths. When the sheet is again transported to the laser printer section, an image is formed on the other side of the sheets. This configuration simplifies the structure of the apparatus and reduces the size thereof compared to a configuration in which only one reversing transport path capable of holding the same number of sheets therein is formed.

Abstract: An electrode of a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor layer (6) having a surface, a laminated structure laminating a plurality of layers comprising conductive materials on the surface of the semiconductor layer (6) and having a side surface, and a side barrier layer disposed on the side surface of the laminated structure and comprising a conductive material which can prevent a conductive material of a specific layer constituting the laminated structure except a lowermost layer in contact with the semiconductor layer (6) reacting with the semiconductor layer (6) from diffusing into the semiconductor layer (6) through the side surface of the laminated structure. Therefore, the side barrier layer prevents the conductive material reacting with the semiconductor layer (6) from diffusing into the semiconductor layer (6) through the side surface of the laminated structure, and erosion of the semiconductor layer (6) and deterioration of a contact between the electrode (4) and the semiconductor layer (6) are not caused due to the reaction of the semiconductor layer (6) with the conductive material, whereby the reliability of the semiconductor device in which this electrode (4) is provided is improved.

Abstract: In a refrigerating cycle (air conditioner) using mixture refrigerant, a mixing ratio of the refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit is measured by a mixing ratio detector (W1), and a controller (21) receives the detection signal to open a control valve (13) when the mixing ratio of a high boiling-point refrigerant component is low, whereby the high boiling-point refrigerant stocked in a liquid reservoir (14) is returned to the refrigerant circuit. The high boiling-point refrigerant which is supplied from the liquid reservoir (14) through the opening operation of the control valve (13) is supplied from a low pressure side of a compressor (1) into the refrigerant circuit to keep the mixing ratio of the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerant circuit to a predetermined value, thereby preventing abnormal increase of pressure of the refrigerant due to variation of the mixing ratio.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system has a fuel pump (12) which draws fuel from a fuel tank (14) to supply pressurised fuel to the fuel metering system (23) of an internal combustion engine, and a conduit (38) connecting the pump intake (16) with an enclosed, pressurisable fuel reservoir (30) for accumulating return fuel therein so as to provide a ready source of liquid fuel to the pump (12) during conditions which cause insufficient fuel availability at the pump intake (16), such as low fuel tank level, sudden cornering, or grade parking. Pressurised return fuel fills the reservoir (30) until a predetermined overflow pressure is reached and an overflow valve opens (42) to allow fuel overage to flow into the fuel tank (14). When the fuel level in the tank (14) drops below a predetermined level, the fuel level sender arm (46) attached to the reservoir depresses a plunger (44) to shut the overflow valve (42). Pressure within the reservoir (30) then builds until exceeding the setpoint release pressure of a supply valve (40) located between the pump intake (16) and the reservoir (30), at which time the supply valve (40) opens to allow liquid fuel to flow from the reservoir (30) to the pump (12). The setpoint release pressure of the supply valve (40) exceeds that of the predetermined overflow pressure of the overflow valve (42).

Abstract: The method involves passing an incoming digital packet to a compressor (COMPR) for formatting (FORM) before it is stored in a memory (MEM). As each digital packet is recorded, the start address of the packet is stored in an address memory (ADD). The address of the oldest digital packet is read from a read address (RPR). If the memory is full, the address register is incremented to reflect recording of new data on top of an older data packet. Digital packets are stored and read in the same order.

Abstract: A fluid drop projecting apparatus which can fly, one by one, fluid drops far smaller than the opening bore from which the drops are projected, and moreover cay readily vary the size of the fluid drops, is provided. To this end, surface waves travelling toward a fluid drop projecting point are applied on the free surface of fluid in a fluid drop projecting chamber having an opening. The surface waves are generated by a surface wave generator including the fluid drop projecting chamber, a diaphragm and a piezo actuator. As the surface waves are generated by the surface wave generator at substantially equal distances from a fluid drop projecting point, the height of the surface waves gradually increases, amplified by their interference, and fluid drops are separated at and projected from the fluid drop projecting point.
