Abstract: A cryogenic fluid flow control system. This cryogenic fluid flow control system utilizes a first element forming a fluid inlet channel and an outlet passage that can be selectively blocked off by a second element that can move relative to the first element by an effect due to the difference in expansion coefficients between the materials of the first and second elements. The outlet passage utilizes a part extending transversely relative to the inlet channel and emerging on the periphery of an end part of the first element, the second element being placed at least partly around said end part.

Abstract: An automotive engine-cooling fan assembly uses pairs of overlapping fans to improve flow uniformity through the heat exchanger cores and to maximize the amount of fan power that can be achieved with limited motor sizes. One fan of each pair has upstream supports and the other has downstream supports, and these supports are so configured to minimize the axial dimension of the assembly. The use of banded fans maximizes fan performance, and blade skew minimizes fan noise.

Abstract: An instrument for measuring sub-pico Tesla magnetic fields using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) inductively coupled to an unshielded gradiometer includes a filter for filtering magnetically-and electrically coupled radio frequency interference (RFI) away from the SQUID. This RFI is principally coupled to the SQUID via the unshielded gradiometer. The filter circuit includes a resistor-capacitor (RC) combination interconnected to first and second terminals so that it is parallel to both an input coil of the SQUID and the gradiometer. In addition, a shielding enclosure is used to electromagnetically shield the filter circuit from the SQUID, and a method is employed to increase the impedance between the input coil and the SQUID without diminishing the overall sensitivity of the instrument.

Abstract: In a rising gathered member 4 of an absorbent main body 3 attached to an external sheet 2, an inward folded base end 4b is joined astride a side end 13a of a top sheet 13 as a top surface of the absorbent main body 3 and a side end 14a of a back sheet 14 so that the rising gathered member 4 rises from a most side edge 3a in a width direction of the absorbent main body 3 and, also, the back sheet 14 of the absorbent main body 3 is attached onto a skin-contacting surface side of a crotch part R of a second external sheet 8 at an inward position at a prescribed width W5 from the most side edge 3a of the absorbent main body 3 as an outermost joint position. With the above constitution, it is possible to effectively prevent any lateral leakage of urine and the like, even if a disposable absorbent article is shifted. Moreover, the base end of the rising gathered member is merely joined to the side end of the top surface of the absorbent main body, thereby requiring no sheet winding step or the like, such a simple process can achieve inexpensive production, and further, the stability of product precision becomes improved.

Abstract: A keypad device for a mobile telephone or other device utilizing a keypad or keyboard is comprised of a flexible substrate and a keypad cover. The flexible substrate includes a plurality of keys affixed to the surface as well as a plurality first conductive strips associated with each key. The keypad cover is attached to the flexible substrate. The keypad cover typically includes holes that permit the plurality of keys to protrude through the keypad cover. In addition, the keypad cover further includes a plurality of second conductive strips that selectively contact a corresponding first conductive strip on the flexible substrate. The plurality of first conductive strips is coupled to ground and the plurality of second conductive strips is coupled to logic circuitry. Or, in another embodiment, both sets of conductive strips are coupled with the logic circuitry. The default position of the keypad device has each of the first conductive strips in contact with each of the corresponding second conductive strips. This creates a short circuit condition that prevents key signals from being received by the logic circuitry. When a particular key is depressed to the point where the first conductive strip associated with that particular key is separated from the second conductive strip corresponding to the first conductive strip, the short circuit condition is removed. This allows a signal to be transmitted to and processed by the logic circuitry indicating that a particular key has been selected.

Abstract: The invention provides a controller for a memory having at least one memory cell, that involves a higher cost for writing than for reading. The memory cell is allocated to a first address information and adapted to store memory data. The memory controller of the invention comprises a register. A write controller connected with said register and said memory is adapted to receive a write request comprising said first address information and first write data allocated thereto, ascertain whether said first address information is stored in said register. If yes, the write controller compares said first write data with second write data of an earlier write request in said register allocated to said first address information. If no, it compares said first write data with said memory data allocated to the first address information. The write controller further forwards said first address information and said first write data to said register, respectively, and initiates a write operation of said first or second write data, respectively, from said register to said memory, if the first or second write data, respectively, is different from said memory data. With the memory controller of the invention write power can be saved while providing continuous access to the memory.
