Abstract: A roller bush for a fuel injection pump is
interposed between a metal roller and a pin. The roller
is forced to contact with a cam reciprocating a plunger,
and the pin supports the roller rotatably about a
rotational axis at either axial side of the bush. Either
axial end portions of the bush entirely consist of
ceramic, each portions having the axial length from the
corresponding axial end surface of L. The ratio of the
axial length L to the entire axial length L0 of the bush
is set to be equal to or larger than {(11-d)/16}, where d
represents the inner diameter of the bush.

Abstract: An exposure apparatus of a reduced projection scanning type
can enlarge the exposure area while preventing enlargement of the
exposure optical system. The apparatus includes a plurality of
exposure optical systems having the same reduction scale ratio.
Each optical system is formed such that the optical axis of the
illuminating light and the optical axis of the exposure light are
mutually parallel. The exposure area and the illumination area,
as viewed from the direction of these optical axes, are mutually
shifted so as to have an axis of similarity. The illumination
areas of the optical systems are positioned on the same
illumination plane. The exposure areas of the optical system are
positioned on the same exposure plane. Axes of similarity of the
optical systems mutually coincide. The object of illumination is
positioned on the illumination plane and the object of exposure
is positioned on the exposure plane. These objects are scanned
in a mutually parallel manner with a speed ratio in accordance
with the reduction scale ratio. The illumination and exposure
areas of each optical system are provided so as to be continuous
in a direction orthogonal to the direction of scanning the
objects of illumination and exposure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus transmit (502) from a controller (112) a message
element (416) and an indication (418) of a signal quality threshold
corresponding to the message element. A receiver (122) receives (504) the
message element and the corresponding indication of the signal quality
threshold, and measures (506) a received signal quality experienced while
receiving the message element. The receiver completes (512, 514) a
negative response to the message when the received signal quality is
worse than the signal quality threshold, and a positive response to the
message when the received signal quality is not worse than the signal
quality threshold. The message element is defined as one of (a) the
message in its entirety and (b) a portion of the message.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reproducing or
recording device for reproducing, or for recording on,
an optical recording medium (31), having a tracking
synchronization circuit (1), which has a variable
centre frequency generator (12, 13). The tracking
synchronization circuit (1) can be operated with
different centre frequencies depending on application,
and this has the advantage that identically designed
tracking synchronization circuits (1) can be used for
different purposes. It is advantageous that adaptive
adjustment of a centre frequency once prescribed is
additionally possible during operation, thus increasing
the capture range of the tracking synchronization
circuit.

Abstract: An overcenter mechanism (10) includes a housing (12) and a first shaft (14)
mounted on the housing. The first shaft has a first axis (34). A second shaft (20) is
mounted on the housing and the second shaft has a second axis (41) that parallels the
first axis. A lever (16) is attached to the first shaft, and the lever pivots about the first
axis in response to a force (F op ) applied to the lever. A cam (18) is attached to the
first shaft, and the cam pivots about the first axis. The cam has a cam surface
including a first surface portion (58) and a second surface portion (60). The first and
second surface portions form a cusp (62) therebetween. A cam follower (21) has a
cam follower surface, and the cam follower pivots about the second axis. A biasing
member (26) urges the cam follower surface against the cam surface in pressure
contact. The cam follower and the pressure contact cooperate with the cam to
generate torque (τ roller ) on the cam until the cam follower surface contacts the cusp.
The pressure contact creates an instability about the cusp when the cusp contacts the
cam follower surface, and the torque pivots the cam so the cusp and the cam follower
move away from each other.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling samples such as blood samples for hemostasis. The sample is transferred from a test tube into a cuvette which has been released from a supply of cuvettes. Prior to transferring the sample, a needle is introduced into the sample and automatically senses the level or height of the sample in the test tube. The presence of vials of reagent is optically confirmed. Reagents are to be delivered through a delivery tube into the cuvette and the delivery tubes are initially primed with reagent. The presence and orientation of the cuvette are verified and the sample transferred into the cuvette, the reagent automatically delivered into the cuvette, and the reaction such as, but not limited to, blot clotting occurs in the cuvette. The occurrence of the reaction is optically confirmed. The system and method controls the sequential release of stacked cuvettes in addition to confirming the presence and proper orientation of the cuvettes.

Abstract: A cabin pressurizing system for an aircraft includes one or more oxygen concentrators (20) to raise the partial pressure of oxygen in the cabin atmosphere. The oxygen concentrator is preferably positioned in a conduit (12, 14, 22) conveying pressurized air from an engine (10) of the aircraft to the cabin. By raising the percentage of oxygen in the cabin atmosphere, typically to a range of 25 to 35 volume %, the overall cabin pressure can be kept below normal atmospheric pressure, thus reducing stresses on the aircraft fuselage.

Durant la reprise, le terminal est capable de s'associer avec l'un des sous-intervalles faisant partie d'une pluralité de sous-intervalles. Le système central transmet un désignatif de sous-intervalle (520) au terminal selon une certaine périodicité pendant la reprise et modifie la valeur du désignatif du sous-intervalle après un nombre prédéterminé de périodes régulières. Le flux de tentatives d'enregistrement faites par une communauté de terminaux est ajusté de façon à passer, après une panne, d'une situation dans laquelle toute la communauté de terminaux est en conflit pour s'enregistrer à une situation dans laquelle des sous-groupes de la communauté tentent de s'enregistrer dans leurs sous-intervalles respectifs.

Abstract: In a radical polymerization reaction, an oxygen
absorbent is present in an amount corresponding to the
amount of dissolved oxygen in a polymerization
reaction system. As the oxygen absorbent, an oxygen
absorbent which is soluble in a solvent used and has
a strong reducing power is preferable. The radical
polymerization by emulsion polymerization process is
carried out at a reaction temperature of not more than
50°C employing a seed polymerization method. In the
radical polymerization reaction, by effectively
removing the dissolved oxygen present in the
polymerization reaction system, a high molecular
weight polymer (a) having higher molecular weight than
the conventional polymer, (b) having a straight-chain
structure with less branching, and (c) being soluble
in an organic solvent is produced by a producing
method which is stabilized and controlled with ease.
The product polymer is suitably adopted as a drag
reducer.

Abstract: The invention is directed to provide a code-amount
control device for use in video-coding device, which
controls the generated code-amount of each block (block
length) after variable-length coding in the video-coding
process to surely be less than the designated
target code-amount. The code amount control device is
provided with a rate control circuit (11) for setting a
target code-amount of each of blocks to be encoded, a
rounding circuit (7) for converting a sequence of
quantized values into a set of the number of continuous
zeroes and following thereto non-zero quantized values
and a code-length table (8) containing variable code-length
values to be allocated to respective sets of the
number of continuous zeroes and non-zero values. Before
variable-length encoding of the image block, the
rounding circuit (7) estimates by accumulating the code
length of each block with reference to the code-length
table (8) and outputs the quantized values as they are
to a variable-length coding circuit (9) when the
accumulated code-length does not exceed the target
code-amount. If the estimated code-length exceeds the
target code-amount, the rounding circuit (7) outputs
the quantized values after rounding off the excessive
portion thereof.
