Abstract: The present invention provides a thermosetting resin composition useful as an underfilling sealant composition which rapidly fills the underfill space in a semiconductor device, such as a flip chip assembly which includes a semiconductor chip mounted on a carrier substrate, enables the semi-conductor to be securely connected to a circuit board by short-time heat curing and with good productivity, and demonstrates acceptable heat shock properties (or thermal cycle properties). The thermosetting resin composition which is used as an underfilling sealant between such a semiconductor device and a circuit board to which the semiconductor device is electrically connected, includes an epoxy resin component and a latent hardener component. The latent hardener component includes a cyanate ester component and an imidizole component.

Abstract: The invention concerns a classifying apparatus used, in particular, for recognising and characterising odours, comprising a plurality of sensors for generating raw data representing a plurality of instances of a plurality of different classes; a unit for processing said raw data to determine an identification model comprising definitions of established classes by analysing according to a particular method for retrieving data obtained during a learning phase and a particular assigning rule selected on the basis of the application enabling, during a subsequent identification phase, to assign an instance of unknown class to the appropriate class defined during the learning phase. The data retrieval method can also be selected on the basis of the application. Preferably a percentage of data obtained during the learning phase is used for establishing several candidate identification models and the identification model selected is the one which gives the best rate of correct classifications when other data obtained during the learning phase are submitted to it.

Abstract: A gage mechanism for a blood pressure measuring device or other similar apparatus includes a supported shaft member having one end in contact with an inflatable bellows. A pointer is attached at an opposite end of the shaft and a helically wound spring is attached to the shaft and a supporting structure. As the bellows inflates, the shaft is axially displaced and causes rotation due to the constraint of the helical ribbon spring, causing a corresponding angular deflection of the attached pointer relative to an indicating scale. The mechanism includes a first adjustment member for allowing the pointer to be preset to a zero or calibrated position, and a second adjustment mechanism that controls the amount of angular rotation of the shaft and pointer for a displacement of the bellows.

Abstract: In a vapor compression type refrigeration cycle (1)
using carbon dioxide as a refrigerant, a superheat control
valve (6) is connected between an evaporator (7) and an
internal heat exchanger (4). The superheat control valve
is for adjusting flow rate of a liquid phase part, supplied
to the evaporator, of the refrigerant in accordance with a
control signal to keep a degree of superheat of a gas phase
part, supplied to a compressor (2), of the refrigerant.
Thermistors (10, 11) detect temperatures of the gas phase
part and an evaporated part, flowed out from the evaporator,
of the refrigerant to produce a first and a second
temperature signal, respectively. A temperature/pressure
sensor (12) detects a condition of a radiated part, flowed
out from a radiator (3), of the refrigerant to produce a
refrigerant condition value. A selector (13) selects, as a
selected signal, one of the first and the second
temperature signals in accordance with the refrigerant
condition value to supply the selected signal as the
control signal to the superheat control valve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible inlet
tube for a high and intermediate pressure steam
turbine, and an object thereof is to prevent a
temperature rise of an integrally constructed casing by
steam cooling a reheat steam inlet tube by means of a
double construction. 
     To achieve this object, the flexible inlet tube is
configured as described below. A casing 11 is provided
with a main steam inlet tube 14 and a reheat steam
inlet tube 1 constructed integrally with the casing 11.
Main steam 30 flows into a high pressure turbine
section 17 through the inlet tube 14, and reheat steam
31 flows into an intermediate pressure turbine section
19 through the inlet tube 1, by which a rotor 12 is
driven. A double tube portion 2 is provided in the
inlet tube 1 to form an annular groove 3. An expanded
diameter portion 4 is provided at the lower end of the
double tube portion 2, and a vertical sliding motion
can be accomplished between the expanded diameter
portion 4 and a flange 5 fixed to a thermal shield 21,
so that thermal elongation is absorbed. Low-temperature
steam flows into the annular groove 3 from
an in-casing space 23 through a hole, circulates in the
annular groove 3, and flows out to a steam passage in
the intermediate pressure turbine section 19, by which
the interior of the annular groove 3 is cooled, so that
a temperature rise of the casing 11 can be prevented.
