Abstract: A method of injection-molding a molten thermoplastic resin (40) in a mold (20) having regions of different thicknesses, in which a void inducing member (30) is positioned in the part of the cavity corresponding to thick sections. Gas pressure is applied through a gas passageway (28) surrounding the void inducing member (30) thus forming a void nucleus (43) in the resin (40) adjacent to the tip end (31). The void nucleus (43) develops into a void (44) under the influence of the shrinking force of the resin (40) as it cools.

Abstract: A method for determining the proper occultation relationship between a calligraphic point and at least one of another calligraphic point and a surface in a raster image, divides the total image screen into an array of spans, each containing an ordered set of pixels which may be further divided into an array of subpixels; determines which of the subpixels on the total screen lie inside each of the raster surfaces and calligraphic points which must be considered for the image totality; then orders the distance of each of the raster surfaces from the viewing point and also orders the distance of each of the point features from the viewing point; and then compares the ordered distances of each point to at least one of the raster surface distances and other point distances to determine which of subpixels of the point or surface/other point are occluded and which subpixels are visible.

Abstract: A control system, well suited for an aircraft, is operative with a process for analysis of system status by computing the most probable state of the system with single or multiple system feedback system failures. Sets of sensor signals are provided to describe the positions of various components of the aircraft, these sets being compared to reference sets to determine accuracy in feedback signals. Discrepancies with present or possible system states are noted, and the probability of each discrepancy is evaluated. This involves computations of probability from previously determined failure rates of various components of the system including sensors, subsystems operative with the sensors, actuators, and subsystems operative with the actuators. The joint probabilities of possible system states are calculated to determine the apparent state of the system to permit further operation of the system. Determination of reliability of subsystems includes mechanical and electrical components and various interconnecting parts such as connectors, cabling, and interfaces.

Abstract: The invention is a liquid toner developer for a laser printer. There is an open bath of liquid toner (12) about 50 microns below a moving outer bottom photoconductor surface (11) energized by actinic light. Immediately downstream of the liquid bath (12) and adjacent to it is a charged, reverse direction developer roller (14), also about 50 microns below the photoconductor surface. Downstream of the developer roller, and in relatively close spaced-apart relationship from it, is a same direction rigidizing\squeegee roller (15) charged about the same as the developer roller (14). A blade lies close to or in contact with the rigidizing/squeegee roller (15) slightly upstream of its nip point (C) to provide a drain path along the length of the roller to aid excess toner removal from the roller. A common wiping means (16) cleans both the developer and the rigidizing/squeegee rollers, and directs excess toner into a recycle system (17,18,19) to save toner supply and replenish the bath of liquid toner (12). The image on the photoconductor surface leaving the developer system is very dry, and suitable for direct transfer to a sheet of paper. In a preferred embodiment, a series of the developer systems (31,32,33,34) with different color toners are employed to create a multi-color image on the paper.

Abstract: During transmit and receive slots of a TDMA frame, a reference pulse source (31) is made inactive for power savings purposes, and during an idle slot of the frame it is rendered active to supply pulses to a phase alignment circuit (32) where initial phase alignment is established between an output of a frequency divider (37) and the reference pulse. Phase-aligned signals are supplied to a phase comparator (33), the output of which is coupled to a switched filter bank (35) during the idle slot to cause a selected loop filter to develop a voltage according to the output of the phase comparator (33) to drive a voltage controlled oscillator (36) to generate a local carrier for allowing a channel switching to be effected for a possible hand-off. The connection between the phase comparator (33) and the filter bank (35) is cut off during the transmit and receive slots to maintain that voltage for a closed-loop operation during the next idle slot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible coupling in which torque is transmitted between the two shafts to be coupled via elastomer lugs or a continuous elastomer ring. According to the invention, the coupling parts, in the form of separate anchor plates, are all arranged in a single radial plane of the coupling, while the elastomer lugs surround the coupling and are arranged on radially outward-pointing anchor pins. Given a certain torque to be transmitted, this ensures, overall, minimum outside dimensions of the flexible coupling, making it possible, in particular, to use these couplings in the region of final drive shafts of motor vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The transmission system comprises a transmitter for transmitting a subband encoded signal accommodated in a second digital signal (Fig. 2) comprising frames which include allocation information, scale factor information and samples. In the transmitter the bit allocation information is selectively subjected to a signal processing step and in the receiver the received bit allocation information is selectively subjected to an inverse signal processing step. The signal processing step for the transmitter may be an aselective modulation (scrambling) of the allocation information in the second digital signal. Another possibility is that the sequence of the bit allocation information is changed. 
     In the first case the receiver comprises a demodulator by means of which the modulated allocation information is demodulated (scrambled) in a manner inverse to the modulation in the transmitter. In the second case the sequence of the received bit allocation information is changed in a manner inverse to the change of sequence during recording.

Abstract: The addition of a gaseous source of hydrogen radicals, such as hydrogen, ammonia or methane to oxide RIE etching chemistries, in amounts of from about 5 to about 20 percent by volume of the total gas flow, will increase the oxide etch rate while suppressing the polysilicon etch rate. This effect is more pronounced at lower wafer temperatures. This new process chemistry increases the oxide etch rate to greater than 5000 Å/min., improves the selectivity to polysilicon to greater than 25:1 and improves the selectivity to photoresist to greater than 6:1, without having a significant detrimental effect on the profile angle, the RIE lag and the etch rate uniformity. Selectivities of 50:1 have been achieved with less than 15% RIE lag using the chemistry CHF₃, Ar ,  CF₄ and NH₃, with NH₃ constituting 10 percent by volume of the gas flow.

Abstract: A method of dynamic programming by means of factorisation is disclosed, which allows dynamic programming to be used to solve problems which have hitherto been regarded as insoluble by means of dynamic programming, usually because of an unacceptable requirement for computing time or operating equipment. In dynamic programming, the solution operation requires iterative extensions of the boundary relations by means of combination with new relations. The invention is based on this approach, in that it represents the boundary relations in a factorised form and then formulates computing methods for extending these boundary relations, without actually calculating their extensional forms. There is presented a series of algorithms for achieving such a computing methodology by finding pure factors of given primitive side-condition relations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The data transmission method employs IEEE P1394 protocol. The data header of the transmitted isochronous packet is added with a node identifier identifying the transmitter node, so that the receiver node can immediately identify the transmitter node, and can thereby request the transmitter node to maintain transmission. A Broadcast channel is a default channel used for isochronous packet transmission, unless a different channel number is otherwise specified. Thus, it is not necessary for the user to coordinate the channel number used by the transmitting and receiver nodes. It is also not necessary for the transmitter node to notify the receiver node, or the receiver node to notify the transmitter node, of the channel number used.
