Abstract: In an information recording/reproducing apparatus, a data train of 1 and 0 as recording information is precoded to be converted into a recording data train. The recording data is recorded on a recording medium. A reproduction signal from the recording medium on which the recording data is recorded is obtained by partial response waveform equalization. The recording information has at least one data change from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 within a predetermined period.

Abstract: An ATM communication system comprising an ATM switch having a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports, each of the said input ports being fed from an input port server and each of the said output ports being arranged to feed an output port server. Each input port server has a plurality of buffer stores, one for each of the output ports to which said output port data is transmitted through the switch. Each buffer store in the input port servers is arranged to interrogate the output port server with which it communicates by means of a bandwidth request before the transmission of data, thereby determining whether output port server data handling capacity is available, whereby ATM switch operation during periods of peak traffic is facilitated. The system includes a queuing arrangement for bandwidth requests received during periods when there is no available bandwidth capacity, the arrangement being such that requests are released in a predetermined order when capacity becomes available.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for identifying the occurrence of fusing electrical attachment during fusing operations are provided. After a conventional fusing operation is complete, an electrical signal is applied to the fusing electrode while the fusing electrode is returned to its home position. The electrical signal is monitored to determine whether a circuit path exists from the fusing electrode through the fused conductors to the ground electrode. The presence of a path would indicate that the fusing electrode has become attached to the fused conductors. An alternate embodiment is also described in which the force required to withdraw the fusing electrode is monitored while the electrode is returned to its home position. If the measured force does not fall within predetermined limits, or if the measured force varies during electrode movement, fusing electrode attachment has occurred.

Abstract: A turbomachinery having variable angle diffuser vanes is demonstrated with the use of a centrifugal pump. The performance of a diffuser is enhanced greatly by the use of adjustable angle diffuser vanes which can be set to a wide range of vane angles to provide a variable size of an opening between adjacent vanes. The demonstrated pumping system has a significantly wider operating range than that in conventional pumping systems over a wide flow rate, and is particularly effective in the low flow rate range in which known diffuser vane arrangements would lead to surge in the entire system and other serious operational problems. A number of concrete examples and formulae are given to demonstrate the computational methods used to select a vane angle for a given set of operating conditions of the turbomachinery.

Abstract: A two head single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) nuclear camera system has two detector heads (16a, 16b) which are movable between a 180° opposite position and an adjacent, orthogonal position. The detector heads have slide members (42a, 42b) which are slidably received on linear radial guide members (40a, 40b) of carriers (16a, 16b). The carriers have followers (20a, 22a, 24a; 20b, 22b, 24b) which are slidably received along linear guide paths (26a, 28a, 30a; 26b, 28b, 30b). Hydraulic or other extensible cylinders (32a, 32b) selectively permit the carriers, hence the detector heads, to slide along the guide paths between the 180° opposite and the adjacent, orthogonal positions. Preferably, a rotating gantry (12) is rotated to place both detector heads above an intended position. In this manner, the extensible cylinders controllably lower the detector heads as they move by gravity from the present position to the intended position. In both the 180° opposite and the adjacent orthogonal positions, the detector heads concurrently rotate around an axis of rotation (14a) and move radially in and out to minimize the distance between the subject and the detector head.

Abstract: In a process for producing isopropyl alcohol by direct liquid phase hydration of propylene and water in the presence of a strong acid solid catalyst at a high temperature and a high pressure, the reaction is carried out at a temperature in a ranging between 100° and 250°C and a pressure in a ranging between 60 and 200 atm in an excess of water. Then, a liquid phase of the reaction product is contacted with an extraction agent of a saturated hydrocarbon having 3 or 4 carbon atoms at a temperature in a ranging between the critical temperature of the extraction agent and the temperature higher than the critical temperature by 40°C under a pressure ranging between the critical pressure of the extraction agent and 200 atm at an S/F ratio ranging between 0.3 and 3 which is calculated from the equation of the amount of the extraction agent divided by the amount of the extract feed. Finally, after isopropyl alcohol is extracted from the liquid phase, it is separated from the resultant extract phase thus obtained. According to this process, the energy required for concentrating isopropyl alcohol is reduced, and also large-scale production facilities are not necessary.

A communication link is established in at least one direction between terrestrial terminals and user terminals via the satellite network. An instantaneous signal frequency is used which consists of a first frequency subband associated with a first sub-beam which scans the user terminal as the satellite passes overhead. A progressive frequency shift is performed on the instantaneous transmission frequency during the communication link duration. The shift is performed towards the following frequency subband associated with an adjacent sub-beam. A proportion of the determined rotation speed is used for movement compensation.
