Abstract: In a wire dot printer comprising at least one electromagnetic drive coil (11) in its print head (10), overheating protection means for the drive coil are provided. The temperature of the drive coil is detected by measuring its resistance value and the detected value is compared with threshold values to change the operating mode of the printer when the comparison reveals a temperature increase in the print head requiring such change. The temperature resistance characteristics of the drive coils of different printers may be different due to manufacturing tolerances. In order to take such tolerances into account and to provide an overheating protection minimizing the reducing effect on the operating efficiency of the printer classifying means are provided to classify the printer into one of several classes. The determined class is stored and used to select one of plural sets of threshold values for comparison with the detected value. The detected value is preferably converted into a digital value and the threshold value are also stored as digital values to allow a digital processing.

Abstract: The device (particularly, a flash memory) has a first unit (101, 102, 120) for simultaneously selecting a block of 2 m  word lines among 2 n  word lines (n>m), and a second unit (101, 102, 120) for not selecting a block of 2 k  word lines among the 2 m  word lines (m>k). The second unit (101, 102, 120; 120, 130) does not select the block of 2 k  word lines, and selects a block of 2 k  word lines prepared outside the 2 n  word lines when any one of the 2 k  word lines among the 2 m  word lines is defective. Consequently, redundant word lines are effectively employed, write and verify operations are stable, and thereby the yield and performance of the device are improved. 
     Further features of the device can include means for supplying a write drain voltage to a cell transistor independent of the threshold voltage of a write voltage supply transistor, to enable correct writing with a low write voltage; means for saving overerased cell transistors to correctly read data; means for simultaneously erasing a plurality of blocks of cells and easily verifying the same; a simple decoder circuit achieving full selection and non-selection of word or bit lines in a test mode, and other features.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for supplying a graphic label that is readable with a light scanning device with such label placed on a rubber article. The graphic bar code label is optically interpreted with a bar code reader. 
     Thus, the cured substrate with the label with the graphic message is produced by using thermal transfer techniques. For this purpose, the ribbon in contact with the substrate passes by a print head and the ink can be selectively heated with this operation being synchronized by computer operation. When the ribbon is stripped away, the ink is left where heating occurred on the substrate material. The printed substrate exits and is cut to produce labels of desired length. The label is placed on a cured or curable article and the label and substrate are subjected to curing conditions to effect transfer of the label to the cured substrate which may now contain the message in solely, alphanumeric, bar codes, human readable characters, and logos or mixtures of them. The bar code message is normally printed as a series of vertical bars and spaces of varying widths to supply the message in readable form with the light reflected from the series of varying width bars and spaces.

Abstract: This invention provides the design and synthetic procedure for a thermoplastic copolymer which can be co-reacted with XU8212 (or any DGEBA or novolac epoxy resin) to enhance fracture toughness, processibility, and drillability without sacrificing other desirable properties such as high temperature performance, thermal stability, etc. A requirement for the thermoplastic copolymers is that they be initially soluble in the XU 8212 resin and then undergo an in-situ phase separation process as the network cure progresses. Furthermore, the thermoplastic modifier must be soluble in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) for conventional processing techniques to be utilized to fabricate the Clark boards. This approach to a thermoplastic modifier would permit use of the existing resin and panel fabrication process but enhance the material mechanical properties for improved processability and product reliability.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning a measuring device emitting and receiving optical radiation for measuring wear in the lining of a container. The method comprises fixing the coordinate systems of the measuring device and the container to each other by measuring the position of specific fixing points (P1, P2, P3) in the coordinate system (16) of the measuring device (1). In the method of the invention, the fixing points have a regular shape. The position of each fixing point (P1, P2, P3) in the coordinate system (16) of the measuring device (1) is measured by deflecting optical radiation in two intersecting directions across the fixing point, by measuring the optical radiation reflected from the fixing point, by determining on the basis of the optical radiation reflected to the measuring device at least two intersections, in both deflection directions, between the fixing point and the optical radiation emitted, and by calculating, on the basis of these at least four intersections, a directing point, to which the optical radiation emitted by the measuring device is directed for determining the coordinates of the fixing point in the coordinate system (16) of the measuring device.

Abstract: A frequency range of a digital audio signal is effectively expanded without increasing a sampling frequency which has been used for generating the digital audio signal. Firstly, the digital audio signal is divided into first and second digital audio signals. The first digital audio signal is delayed by a predetermined time duration in order to be combined, at a later time, with the second digital audio signal which is to be subject to digital processing. The second digital audio signal undergoes band-pass filtering. Thereafter, the frequency range of the second digital audio signal which has been band-pass filtered, is expanded. Following this, the second digital audio signal whose frequency range has been expanded is combined with the first digital audio signal which has been delayed. Thus, the digital audio signal is expanded in terms of its frequency range.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor system with a number of sensor stations for surveillance of an area intended to include an object to be protected. The sensor stations (1-4) are essentially distributed along the periphery of a circle (5). Each sensor station comprises a detector unit (11) arranged to scan the arc in an azimuth sector allocated to it in two detection fields (9,10). The time of passage T of a target which passes the two detection fields is measured and the target position is calculated on the basis of the measured time T, the target speed V missile , the angle between the detection fields a and the angle to the target β. In the sensor system, the scanning is carried out from below and up towards the background of the sky. This implies that the scanning is not interfered by the surrounding terrain and that a large IR area is obtained. The sensor system according to the invention increases the possibilities of detecting low-flying missiles and similar targets in comparison with conventional technology
