Abstract: A soldering iron (1) comprises a soldering head (4) connected to a handle (2). A cylindrical catalytic element (20) located in a combustion chamber (8) converts gas to heat for heating a soldering tip (15). An electrode (40) located within the catalytic element (20) initially ignites a fuel gas/air mixture to burn in a flame (42) within the catalytic element (20) for raising the temperature of a downstream portion (50) of the catalytic element (20) to its ignition temperature. Heat from the downstream portion (50) raises an upstream portion (51) of the catalytic element (20) upstream of the flame (42) to its ignition temperature, which then commences to convert the fuel gas/air mixture to heat. This starves the flame (42) of fuel gas/air mixture, thus extinguishing the flame (42) so that the catalytic element (20) continues to convert fuel gas/air mixture to heat in a catalytic reaction.

Abstract: A liquid medicine injection device is disclosed. A collapsible tube is expanded
with liquid medicine and forcibly discharges the medicine without allowing the
medicine to remain in the tube due to the pressure of the fully expanded tube,
thus preventing waste of the expensive medicine. The device normally injects a
primarily controlled amount of medicine into a patient at a steady rate and
selectively and temporarily allows confluent medicine to join the primarily
controlled amount of medicine in accordance with a patient's condition without
giving additional syringe pain to the patient.

Title: Device and method for controlling frequency characteristic of a filter
Inventor: YOSHIOKA KENJI
IPC: H04B1/26
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: When the frequency band of an intermediate frequency (IF)
signal input to a filter rises due to temperature variation, the center voltage
corresponding to the IF signal also rises. As a result, a difference occurs
between the center voltage and a preselected reference voltage. An output
current produced by converting the difference is so output as to increase
a control current, thereby shifting the frequency characteristic of the filter
to the higher frequency side. When the frequency band of the IF signal
falls due to temperature variation, the center voltage also falls. The
resulting difference between the center voltage and the reference voltage
is also transformed to an output current. This output current is so output
as to reduce the control current with the result that the frequency
characteristic of the filter is shifted to the lower frequency side.

Abstract: The invention provides a very fast and reliable method and
reagent composition for determining reticulocyte and erythrocyte
counts, identification and characterization, as well as platelet counts, in
a whole blood sample using fully automated hematology analyzers.
The reagent composition includes a zwitterionic surfactant as sphering
agent for reticulocytes and erythrocytes, an organic cationic dye, e.g.,
Oxazine 750, for staining the reticulocytes, and buffer solution
components for maintaining a reagent pH of about 7.2 to 7.8, and an
osmolality of about 292 ± 5. On the basis of the particular pH, ionic
strength, and dye concentration, the reagent composition of the present
method improves upon previous methods, thus allowing fully
automated blood sample analyses to be completed in less than about 30
seconds, with only about a 20 second incubation of sample in the
reagent solution before analysis. With such a rapid incubation time,
the reagent mixture is passed through the sensing region of a flow
cytometer, and the light scattered and absorbed by each cell is rapidly
measured to provide accurate cell determinations and counts. The
volume and hemoglobin concentration and content of each erythrocyte
or reticulocyte are determined. Mean cell volume, mean corpuscular
hemoglobin concentration, and mean cell hemoglobin of the
reticulocytes and/or erythrocytes are calculated from the measured
cell-by-cell volume and hemoglobin concentration.

Abstract: The linkage arms (2,2'), made from U-shaped profiled levers, form intersecting arms pivoting at the ends on fittings (1,1') fixed to the main body section (4) and the door (5). Their other ends are attached by links (3,3') to the fittings at separate points. The levers hinge together at a point between their end joints. The lever flanges are offset from each other so as to fit on the inside and outside. The links are likewise of channel-section and offset where they are attached to the levers. In the open position, the hinge pins (6,6',8,9,9') of the levers are on a common imaginary cylindrical dish (18), whose axis is at the outside of the fittings. The flanges of the levers and/or links can be cranked, so that in the extended open position they fit closely alongside each other.

Abstract: A stator core for a motor in which a member with rounded edges is
used to prevent the electrical breakdown of the winding of a coil
which may occur at a slot edge therein. End plates 18 are disposed
on ends of the stator core 10 formed of laminated magnetic steel
plates 12. Each of the end plates 18 has substantially the same
pattern as each magnetic steel plate 1, viewed from the axis of
the motor. The elongate surface 18a of the end plate 18 continues

edge surface 18b. The rounded edge surface extends smoothly from
the elongate surface 18a to the end surface 18c of the end plate
18. This structure can eliminate sharp edges from the fringe of

provided. Coding efficiency is improved by adaptively
compressing scaled field mode video. Upsampled VOPs
(450, 490, 522, 542, 750, 790) in the enhancement layer
are reordered to provide a greater correlation with the
input video sequence based on a linear criteria. The

(405, 415, 420, 430, 520, 532, 705, 730, 805, 815, 820,
830). A reduced search area whose center is defined by 
the scaled motion vectors is provided. The motion
compensation scheme is suitable for use with scaled
frame mode or field mode video. Various processor
configurations achieve particular scaleable coding
results. Applications of scaleable coding include
stereoscopic video, picture-in-picture, preview access

Abstract: In a data detection apparatus for use in a magnetic
recording/playback system, an A/D converter converts an analog
playback signal into digital playback data at a sampling rate
in accordance with a previously obtained (i-1)st sampling
clock signal (SCS i-1 ) to provide an ith sample value (S i ). An
interpolation filter performs interpolation filtering on the
S i  based on a previously obtained (i-1)st phase error (PE)
signal (PE i-1 ) to provide an ith interpolated sample value
(IS i ) and an ith hold signal (H i ) under a predetermined hold
condition in an asynchronous mode (ASM). An equalization
channel (EC) equalises the IS i  by using a partial response 4
method either based on a previously obtained (i-1)st error
signal (E i-1 ) in a synchronous mode or based on the E i-1  and a
previously obtained (i-1)st hold signal (H i-1 ) in ASM to supply
an ith equalized sample value (ES i ). A maximum likelihood
sequence detection (MLSD) circuit performs MLSD on the ES i  to
supply a binary value representing a final survivor path (SP)
and (i-2)nd to ith decision values (D i-2 , D i-1  and D i )
representing SP's. A subtractor produces an ith error signal
(Ei) by subtracting the D i-1  from the ES i . A PE detection
(PED) circuit performs PED based on the D i , D i-2  and E i-1  to
provide an ith PE signal (PE i ). And a sampling clock signal
(SCS) generator generates an ith SCS (SCS i ) by using the PE i .

According to the method, an aluminum conductor track (20) provided on a surface (1) of a semiconductor body (2) is covered with a layer of insulating material (21), whereupon a contact window (22) with a wall (23) reaching down to the conductor track is formed in this insulating layer. A conductive intermediate layer (24, 28) and an aluminum layer (25, 29) are provided on this wall, whereupon a heat treatment is carried out such that aluminum (26) grows from the conductor track into the contact window. A conductive intermediate layer of titanium is provided on the wall of the contact window.

decision unit and the time-to-frequency transformed audio signal,
decides the order of connecting the respective encoders, and
transforms the quantization bands of the encoders and the
connecting order to code sequences. Therefore, it is possible to
