Abstract: A non-crosslinked endblocked polymer, comprising a preformed aqueous emulsion having a plurality of silanol-terminated polydiorganosiloxane particles, an endcapping silane having the formula R3SiX where X is a hydrolyzable group, R is an alkyl group consisting of 1 to 7 carbon atoms, and an organotin catalyst. The composition unexpectedly results in a non-crosslinked polymer, unlike the polymers described in the prior art. It has been found that adding an endblocking silane having only one hydrolyzable group to a preformed polydiorganosiloxane emulsion surprisingly results in endblocked polydiorganosiloxane molecules free of crosslinks between the polydiorganosiloxane chains.

Abstract: A karaoke apparatus produces a karaoke accompaniment which accompanies a singing voice of a player. A memory device stores primary characteristics of a model vowel contained in a model voice. An input device collects an input singing voice of the player containing a pair of a lead consonant component and a subsequent vowel component. A separating device separates the lead consonant component and the subsequent vowel component from each other. An extracting device extracts secondary characteristics of the subsequent vowel component separated from the lead consonant component. A creating device creates a substitutive vowel component according to the primary characteristics and the secondary characteristics so that the separated subsequent vowel component is converted into the substitutive vowel component while modified by the model vowel. A synthesizing device combines the separated lead consonant component with the substitutive vowel component in place of the separated subsequent vowel component to synthesize an output singing voice of the player. An output device produces the output singing voice together with the karaoke accompaniment.

Abstract: The fault diagnostic apparatus of the present invention detects a failure (a leak) of a fuel tank of an engine. In this invention, space above the fuel level in the fuel tank is connected to a canister. The canister contains an adsorbent to adsorb evaporated fuel in the tank to prevent the evaporated fuel from being released to the atmosphere. Valves are provided to the canister to keep the internal pressure of the canister within a predetermined range. A control circuit of the engine employs a pressure sensor to monitor the internal pressure of the fuel tank, and determines whether the fuel tank has failed in accordance with a change in the internal pressure of the fuel tank. Since the change in the fuel level in the fuel tank varies in accordance with the fuel consumption rate, the change in the pressure in the fuel tank also varies in accordance with the fuel consumption rate. Therefore, the control circuit stops the determining operation when the fuel consumption rate of the engine is too large or too small, to avoid an error in the diagnosis of the fuel tank.

Abstract: A loop gain processing scheme for a speakerphone arrangement determines system loop gain according to two echo feedback paths within the speakerphone system. Gain values for each half-loop (200 and 210) are calculated separately to ensure that both the local and far end telephone or speakerphone system are stable. A first half-loop includes gain contributions from a feedback path extending from a local speakerphone microphone (216) to a hybrid line interface (240), which couples the speakerphone to the telephone network line, and subsequently to a local loudspeaker (264). A second half-loop defines a feedback path from a line receive channel to a transmit channel. Gain contributions are input into a system controller (230) which determines gain values for each of the half-loops to accurately set the proper gain switching mode.

Abstract: A distributor type fuel injection pump (1) which achieves pilot injection in the idling range and the no-load range and cancels the pilot injection in the full-load range is provided. 
     At either one of a distribution member (8) for distributing compressed fuel or a control sleeve (34) which is externally fitted around the distribution member(8), inflow/outflow ports (31), the number of which corresponds to the number of distributions with slits (36) extending therefrom are provided. At the other one of the distribution member and the control sleeve (34), an intake-cutoff hole (35) that communicates sequentially with the inflow/outflow ports (31) and a pilot port (37) which communicates with the slits (36) during part of the force feed period are provided. Since the fuel flows out through the slits during part of the force feed period, pilot injection can be more easily achieved prior to the main injection during low speed rotation and fuel is less likely to be diverted through the slits due to the constricting effect during high speed rotation so that only the main injection is performed.

Abstract: Method and apparatus (1) prepare an image (11, 12) for printing -- and in some cases include an output stage (18), performing the actual printing -- when the overall number of pixels is being scaled up or down from an original image or portion (12, Fig. 4). Image-sharpening procedures are controlled automatically by a function (38) of the number (23) of pixels in the original image and the number (24) in the output device. Any of a great variety of such functions may be used, but we prefer a step-function of a ratio of the two pixel counts -- particularly a two-valued step-function in which one value is zero and the other serves as a sharpening factor in a sharpening algorithm. When the function yields its zero value, for efficiency the sharpening computations are preferably turned off (51, 52, 53), The nonzero value is automatically selected when the number of output pixels is more than twice the number of input pixels. The sharpening-factor value, ideally two, is multiplied (39) by the deviation (37) of each image element's,  e. g  pixel's ( x , y ), level (32) from the corresponding average (34) of the levels (33) for its adjacent neighbors ( x -1, y ;  x , y -1;  x +1, y ;  x , y +1); this product is added to the level of the subject image element to form an adjusted level. Weighting (61, 71; 62, 72) or selection of neighbor values along particular axes ( x ,  y ) allows for anisotropic resolution or anamorphic scaling.

Abstract: Low-power auxiliary circuitry is added to a resonant converter for providing high efficiency operation, low EMI, and tight output voltage control over a wide load range. There is an auxiliary circuit corresponding to each half-bridge connection of main switching devices, each auxiliary circuit including a half-bridge connection of auxiliary switching devices with the junction therebetween coupled to the junction between the main switching devices of the corresponding half-bridge. Under heavy load conditions, sufficient energy is stored in the main resonant inductor to commutate the junctions joining the main switching devices in the resonant converter, resulting in zero-voltage switching for the main switching devices. Under light load conditions, a phase shift is introduced between the corresponding main and auxiliary switching devices, and the auxiliary resonant inductor currents are increased to a level sufficient for the sum of the main resonant inductor current and the corresponding auxiliary resonant inductor current to provide zero-voltage switching for all the bridge switching devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing structural members containing bamboo, in particular bamboo bonded plates used for furniture and internal structures, and structural members made of bamboo which are produced from layer configuration, produced by this method, as per Form I and Form II and a combination thereof. In said method, relatively thin bamboo stem strips with a cross-section in the shape of circular segments and each having an outer and inner wall are sawn and/or planed, are arranged substantially parallel to each other and bonded to form at least one layer forming the structural member. The object of the invention is to develop the method so that relatively large plates which have jointless surfaces, no warp and are flat on both sides can be attained. Such plates are suitable for producing high-quality products such as furniture, ceiling panels and decorations for interior improvement and are also aesthetically attractive. The object is attained in that the individual bamboo strips are provided with tangential cut surfaces (3a, 5a) substantially in the plane of the outer and the inner wall, and bending stress occurs which forms in each bamboo strip oriented in each case towards the tangential cut surfaces thereof associated with the inner wall. The bamboo strips are each oriented alternately with respect to the bending stresses in each bamboo strip and bonded parallel to each other in such a manner that the bending stresses of adjacent bamboo strips respectively compensate for each other and at least one flat layer (2) is formed.

Abstract: A nonaqueous additive system which includes dispersant-coated pigments physically dispersed in a liquid nonaqueous polymeric carrier is added directly to a melt flow of a polymeric host material. The additive system is most preferably in the form of a particulate paste which can be added in metered amounts (dosed) to a melt flow of the polymeric host material prior to being spun into filaments. By providing a number of additive systems having a number of different additive attributes, and controllably dosing one or more into the melt flow of polymeric material, melt-spun filaments having different additive attributes may be produced on a continuous basis (i.e., without shutting down the spinning operation). The present invention is particularly advantageous to produce on a continuous basis sequential lengths of filaments having different color attributes.

Abstract: Where a stream of data is passed along an intermediate link L 1 , L 2  etc at a higher overall
data rate than outside the intermediate link, such as when inverse multiplexing is used in
asynchronous transfer mode where a number of low speed data links L 1  etc are used to
emulate a data link which is higher speed than the original incoming stream of data, the
splitting of the data into the multiple streams necessitating the insertion of control packets
into the links in order to correct for the disparity in propagation time along the links, the
interfaces such as IMA 1  and IMA 2  containing buffers for data packets before transmission
down the intermediate links and after reception at the end of the intermediate links, in
order to eliminate cell delay variation, which has the result that cells in the output stream
can vary by up to two cell positions relative to that in the input cell stream because of the
different quantisation of the intermediate link and because of the need to send control
packets, arrangements are made for the queue in the input buffer and in the output buffer
to be maintained at a constant number of cells, for example by passing information on the
input buffer length in the control cells, so that the reconstructed data stream is exactly the
same as the incoming data stream, although delayed by a fixed additional two cell delay.
