Title: Apparatus for determining volatile substances in a liquid
IPC: G01N1/28
Filed: 1990-12-19
Abstract: The apparatus for determining volatile gases and/or vapor components in a flowing liquid consists basically of a gas analysis instrument (8) which is charged via a sampling tube (9) with the components to be measured which have been freed from the liquid. A carrier gas (17) is passed through a gas inlet tube (11) into the flowing liquid and liberates the gas components to be measured, which are then passed together with the carrier gas (13) through the sampling tube (9) to the gas analysis instrument (8). For this purpose the sampling tube (9) is connected to a dip tube (3) which projects into the liquid and surrounds a porous distributor body (12) for introducing the carrier gas (13) in the form of finely disperse gas bubbles, which distributor body is connected to the gas inlet tube (11) and is subjected to the flow of liquid from the side.

IPC: G10L19/02
Filed: 1990-03-02
Abstract: The invention provides a method of coding a speech 
signal employing adaptive differential pulse code 
modulation. A non-periodic part of the speech signal 
is coded directly by the adaptive differential pulse 
code modulation. A periodic part of the speech signal 
undergoes Fourier Transformation in synchronisation with 
a pitch period of the periodic part to produce spectrum 
data, and is then coded on the basis of the spectrum 
data.

Title: Spindle head feeding with suction effect
IPC: B23Q1/00
Filed: 1991-05-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a spindle head with an arrangement for supplying the respective drilling and/or cutting tools with coolant and/or lubricant, the spindle being provided with an axial passage, fed via an opening of a stationary feed member, for the transport of the coolant and/or lubricant to the working area of the tool, the feed member and the spindle mating coaxially while a gap is formed. In order to reduce the occurrence of leakage flows in the gap and sealing loads associated therewith as well as wear phenomena, the axial passage of the spindle has a larger cross-section than the opening of the feed member. This results in a suction effect like a water jet pump, which suction effect manifests itself in a pressure gradient in the gap, as a result of which the occurrence of leakage flows is counteracted. <IMAGE>

Title: Thin film transistor
IPC: H01L27/12
Filed: 1991-09-27
Abstract: A semiconductor device is an SOI type field effect 
transistor in which an active region is isolated and 
insulated by a transistor for isolation. A contact hole 
(13) for isolation is formed in a gate dielectric thin 
film (17) for isolation between a gate electrode (18) of 
the transistor for isolation and a channel region (14) 
below the gate electrode. In the semiconductor device 
thus structured, surplus carriers produced in a channel 
region (4) below a transfer gate electrode (8) are drawn 
through channel region (14) and isolation contact hole 
(13) into isolation gate electrode (18), thereby 
preventing such a disadvantageous phenomenon as a kink 
effect or the like due to a floating-substrate effect.

Title: Data transfer device
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 1992-03-09
Abstract: There are provided a data transmitter for sequentially transmitting data to which error correcting codes are added, and a data receiver for returning a retransmission request signal if the received data has errors which cannot be corrected. The data transmitter does not confirm that the retransmission request signal related to the transmitted data is received and data are consecutively transmitted from a FIFO memory in a pipeline fashion while holding the transmitted data in a data latch. The data receiver sequentially stores the received data in the FIFO memory on a receiving end in a pipeline fashion. In the case where the retransmission request signal is transmitted from the data receiver, the data transmitter immediately transmits retransmission data which has been prepared in the data latch. <IMAGE>

Title: Desktop computer system having multi-level power Management.
Inventor: COMBS JAMES L
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 1994-06-30
Abstract: A computer system having four states of power management: a normal operating state, a standby state, a suspend state, and an off state. The standby state is characterized by devices, such as a video controller and a hard drive, being placed into a low-power mode transparent to the operating system and the applications executing on the computer system. The suspend state is characterized by executing code being interrupted and the state of the computer system being saved to a file on the hard drive in such a manner that system power may be removed after the state of the computer system is saved to the hard drive. Later, after system power is restored, the state of the computer system is resumed by reading from the hard drive and loading it in such a manner that the operating system and application programs are not adversely affected. The normal operating state and the off state correspond to the typical on and off states of more conventional computer systems. The suspend/resume/standby feature is implemented at a low cost using many standard components. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low delay multiple access scheme called Shared Time-Division
Duplexing (STDD), allows both uplink and downlink voice traffic to share a
common channel. The scheme contains separate uplink and downlink control
channels and a common voice information channel. The control channels comprise
means for signalling voice requirements and acknowledgements of the time slot
allocation. Using speech activity detection only, talk spurt speech packets are
generated for transmission. STDD dynamically allocates time slots in the common
information channel taking advantage of co-ordinated two-way conversations to
achieve high statistical multiplexing gain and more efficient realization of the
common information channel.

Abstract: A line printer having a hammerbank with hammers
that are held by a permanent magnet and released by
electrically driven coils. The temperature of the coils is
determined by the relative resistance of the coils to
provide an output equivalent to the temperature of said
coils. The resistance is determined as a function of the
current through the coils or voltage of the coils which is
converted from an analog to a digital value. 
     The attendant method of determining temperature
of the coils in the hammerbank is by comparing a pre-established
current or voltage value based upon a pre-established
temperature of the coil with the current
passing through the coil during operation of the
hammerbank. The comparison of the current passing through
the coil during operation with the pre-established current
is provided to a controller for controlling the printer in
response to the current differential between the currents
which is in turn a function of the operating temperature.
