Abstract: Method and circuitry is disclosed for controlling and stabilizing temperature of a resistance heat sealing element used in packaging operations. Temperature of the heat sealing element is measured by monitoring its resistance by means of a current sensing resistor placed in series with the heat sealing element. The resistivity of the heat sealing element is a function of temperature and current measurement, assuming substantially constant applied voltage, is an accurate measure of sealing element temperature. The circuitry reduces application of electric power to the sealing element in response to current in the sealing element dropping below a predetermined level. The circuit either continues application of electric power, or increases it, in response to the current being above the predetermined level. Circuitry is also provided for compensating for undesirable line voltage changes to maintain the heating element at a constant temperature. Means is provided for adjusting the predetermined temp­erature at which power cut off occurs. The circuit and sealing element can be operated in either a continuous manner of in a "one-shot" fashion which has been deter­mined as particularly useful for making seals which bear embossed indicia.

Abstract: A control switch and potentiometer assembly for use in an in-the-canal type hearing aid comprising a miniature single pole, single or double throw, push-­pull control switch and rotary potentiometer. The components of the control switch and potentiometer are mounted within a durable thermoplastic resin housing which is anchored within the hearing aid. A single control knob for actuation of the control switch and potentiometer is raised and shaped to permit gripping between the fingertips of the user for removing the hearing aid from the ear canal. 
     The switch contacts and switch wiper are designed such that the process of pulling on the potentiometer control knob to remove the hearing aid will extend the control switch, thereby disengaging a normally closed switch contact and opening a battery powered circuit so as to turn the hearing aid off. A contact leg   portion of a switch wiper has a projecting corner which slidingly engages a ramp section on one of the switch contacts, thereby providing an adjustable spring force which resists moving the potentiometer control knob between the extended and retracted positions.

Abstract: A process for removing and recovering a dissolved substance, either acid or a base, from an aqueous feedstream. The feed­stream is contacted with an aqueous dispersed phase containing liquid membrane emulsion which removes the dissolved substance to the degree desired from the feedstream and absorbs it into the liquid membrane emulsion. The aqueous dispersed phase of the emulsion comprises a reagent which reacts with the dissolved substance by neutralization, allowing the dissolved substance to accumulate to a significant concentration in the emulsion before the spent emulsion is separated from the treated feed and coalesced into a membrane and a spent aqueous internal reagent phases. The spent aqueous internal reagent phase is subjected to electrolysis in a bipolar membrane cell which regenerates the dispersed reagent loaded internal aqueous phase in a composition suitable for recycle to emulsification and further feedstream treatment. The bipolar cell also generates an aqueous stream rich in dissolved substance from which the extracted dissolved substance can easily be recovered in pure form by conventional separation means.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for performing a method for detecting and correcting errors in one clock cycle that occur during arithmetic operations of at least two operands. Specifically, two operands are operated on to obtain a result. The digits of the result are added to one another. This adding step is repeated until a first single digit is achieved. The digits of each of the operands are added to one another to obtain an intermediate sum. The digits of the intermediate sum, in turn, are added to one another. Once again, this operation is repeated until a second single digit is achieved. The first single digit number is compared with the second single digit number and a signal indicative of error is generated if the comparison is unsuccessful. 
     In order to correct the error, the digits of each of the operands are added to one another to obtain an intermediate sum. Sequentially, a digit is subtracted from the partial sum of the remaining digits of each of the operands. The results of the subtraction for each operand are added to one another at the end of each sequential cycle to obtain a set of arguments, each of which is subtracted from the intermediate sum to obtain a set of partial differences. The partial differences are concatenated to obtain a transitional value. By eliminating certain digits, a correct value of the arithmetic operation is obtained.

Abstract: To enable assigning of disk drives associated with both a host computer and a remote computer coupled together by a communication link using normal DOS driver letters, DOS initialisation of the host computer is postponed until a remote session is established with the remote computer and the remote computer provides information regarding the disk drives associated therewith. Upon receiving the disk drive information from the remote computer, the host completes its initialisation and assigns drive letters associated with diskette drives associated with the host computer to diskette drives associated with the remote computer. Thus, host diskette drives are logically replaced by remote diskette drives. Any hard disk drives associated with the remote computer are assigned the next available drive letter on the host computer. Thus, the host computer and the remote computers become tightly coupled in that a user of the remote system has access to the diskette drives and any hard disk drives on the remote computer and any hard disk drives on the host computer.

Abstract: In order to detect and display arbitrary interior surfaces of a three-dimensional body from a regular array of values of at least one physical property in the interior of the body, the physical property measurements are made with systems such as computerized tomographic x-ray imaging, or magnetic resonance imaging. A recursive algorithm starts with a seed voxel in the surface of interest and continues to all adjacent voxels having a common face which is penetrated by the surface of interest. The common surface penetrations are derived from a look-up table which lists the adjacent voxels having a common penetrated face for each voxel index. The voxel index, in turn, is the string of binary digits representing the voxel vertices whose vertex values exceed the surface value of the surface of interest. The resulting list of voxels can be processed by conventional processors to display the surface of interest with greatly reduced interference from nearby, closely intermingled surfaces with the same or similar surface values.
