Abstract: A method and apparatus for optically recording information in which the phase state of each recording position of the recording film of a recording medium such as an optical disk is reversibly changed between an amorphous phase and a crystalline phase using a single laser beam, thereby optically recording information on the recording film. The recording position on the recording film is heated to the melting point thereof or more through laser beam irradiation irrespectively of the information to be recorded. After completion of the heating, in order to change the phase state of the recording film at the recording position in accordance with the information, the power and/or irradiation time of the laser beam is controlled so as to provide different times required for the temperature of the recording position to pass the crystallization temperature region of the recording film. The recording medium has at least one record of data indicative of the melting point of the recording film and data indicative of the time required to pass the crystallization temperature region for placing the recording position in the amorphous or crystalline state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a smoking article which produces an aerosol that resembles tobacco smoke, but contains no more than a minimal amount of incomplete combustion or pyrolysis products. 
     Preferred embodiments of the present smoking article comprise a short combustible carbonaceous fuel element (10), a heat stable substrate (12) bearing an aerosol forming substance, a heat conducting member (14) which contacts a portion of the fuel element (10) and the substrate (12), and an insulating jacket (72) surrounding at least a portion of the fuel element. 
     The smoking article of the present invention is capable of providing an aerosol "smoke" which is chemically simple, consisting essentially of air, oxides of carbon, water, and the aerosol which carries any desired flavorants or other desired volatile materials, and trace amounts of other materials. The aerosol "smoke" from the preferred embodiments has no significant mutagenic activity as measured by the Ames Test. In addition, the article may be made virtually ashless so that the user does not have to remove any ash during use.

Abstract: Improved separation of audio and video spectra carried upon spectrally separated audio and video carriers within a television transmission channel leading to a television receiver is realised in a method which includes the transmission steps of: obtaining a high frequency luminance component at the vicinity of the audio carrier offset from the video carrier from a full bandwidth baseband luminance signal received from a video source; limiting the amplitude of luminance energy groups within the high frequency component to be below a predetermined amplitude level; combining the amplitude limited high frequency component into the full bandwidth luminance signal in a manner which provides a composite luminance signal having amplitude limited high frequency energy groups at the vicinity of the audio carrier; adding video synchronizing information to the composite luminance signal to provide a single video modulation signal; modulating said video carrier with said single video modulation signal; combining the video carrier with the audio carrier into a resultant television composite; and, passing the resultant television composite through the television transmission channel to the television receiver. The method further includes making the audio carrier phase coherent with picture synchronizing information thereby enabling interleave of high frequency video and audio energies. Comb filter separation of video from audio energy groups may then be employed at the receiver.

Abstract: Suspension for a steerable vehicle wheel In known 2-joint spring-strut suspensions, it has hitherto not been possible to install large brake discs relative to the size of the rim and simultaneously to provide a small disturbing-force lever arm. The intention is to achieve the combination of these features with the new suspension. In order to solve this problem, the wheel carrier (2) is connected rotatably to the spring strut (9) via at least one hinge joint (3, 10; 4, 13). The spring strut (9) is furthermore secured directly on the vehicle body (20) against twisting. The suspension can be employed, in particular, in the case of steerable and driven wheels of passenger cars with very powerful engines, which have large brake discs and, in comparison, relatively small sizes of rim. Furthermore, the suspension can also be employed in the case of a low bonnet line which makes it necessary to position the helical springs (17) next to the wheel (1). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The need for private copies of an interchange document file in a computer system is eliminated by building a common architected index characterized in that (1) it includes selected indexable elements each having sufficient associated pointers for environment and resource specifications to be accessed as stand-alone entities and (2) is structured to be handled by all users (application programs or processes) understanding the interchange protocol. Normal work with a file requires reading the entire document file and building a process' own index. This requires excessive time and takes up storage which could be used for other purposes. By building an architected document index with associated pointers in turn associated with each indexable element, any desired element of the document can be readily addressed by many different users.

Abstract: A portable photoanalytical device takes a reflectance reading from a reagent test strip, compares the reading to an internal standard, and translates the reading to a concentration value using constant values stored within a RAM chip. The constant values are preprogrammed for a particular lot of reagent test strips. A battery maintains the information stored in the RAM. The control values are initially downloaded into the RAM via an external connector. The concentration values are accumulated in the RAM, and periodically dumped out of the device through the external connector. The integrity of the information stored in the RAM is monitored by computing a checksum. Preferably the device includes a battery-backed real-time clock providing the date and hour of each reading. The device can also be operated by an external computer for test purposes.

Abstract: A nonlinear processing apparatus in which a common input signal is input to multiple amplifiers (AMP 1→3) having mutually different amplification factors and different offset voltages (OFF 1→n) and a non-adder/mixer (NAM) selectively outputs the output of each amplifier selected for each level region of the input signal, thereby providing a final nonlinear output. It is therefore possible to independently set and adjust the output characteristic for each amplifier (the frequency response and offset voltage in the case where this invention is applied to a gamma compensator), thereby ensuring highly-accurate setting and adjustment of the output characteristic over the entire output level range.
