Abstract: A method for making a metallic evacuated double-walled vessel consisting of metallic inner and outer vessels with an evacuated thermal insulating layer being formed by the space between the inner vessel and the outer vessel. In the present invention, a prior-to-sealing double-walled vessel is formed by forming a concavity in one of either the inner vessel and the outer vessel, and punching in the concavity an evacuation hole through which to carry out vacuum evacuation. A solid sealing hot charge is then disposed prior to vacuum heating at a position directly above the evacuation hole of the prior-to-sealing double-walled vessel with an interval of space being maintained between the sealing hot charge and the evacuation hole. The prior-to-sealing double-walled vessel is then placed inside a vacuum heating furnace, and vacuum evacuation of the cavity between the inner vessel and the outer vessel is carried out via the evacuation hole. The sealing hot charge is heated and melts, causing it to drop down onto the evacuation hole and the vicinity thereabout, filling the evacuation hole. The sealing hot charge then cools and hardens, vacuum sealing the vessel.

Abstract: An improved electric paper which allows it to form an image from a light image rather than from an applied electric field. The prior art embodiment had a number of rotatable balls imbedded in a plastic substrate. Each ball had hemispheres that had different electrical characteristics, and were colored differently. Under the influence of an image in the form of an electrical field, the balls would selectively rotate to form a permanent visible image, whereupon the field could be removed. This invention has two conductive surfaces to provide a uniform electric field across the substrate (11), and then exposes the substrate (11) to light which selectively changes the electrical characteristics of one of the two hemispheres, resulting in the rotation of the selected balls (13) to form the image.

Abstract: A fluid is aspirated from a sealed container (12) and a precise quantity of the aspirated fluid is dispensed. The method involves standard steps of inserting a probe (20 into the container (12) through the container seal (14) and aspirating bubbles and the selected quantity of fluid into the probe before removing the probe from the container and dispensing the fluid. The method also includes an additional step performed at at least one stage in the method to assure that, before the dispensing operation is performed, sample fluid in the probe extends to the end of the probe without any fluid extending beyond the end of the probe. For one embodiment of the invention, both the selected quantity of fluid to be dispensed and a selected extra volume of fluid are initially aspirated and, prior to the dispensing step, a selected quantity of the sample which is greater than the maximum amount that air bubbles in the probe might shrink as a result of the pressure in the container being less than the pressure outside the container, but less than the selected extra volume, is wasted. An additional step might be to withdraw a volume of fluid from the probe before the probe is inserted into the container which is substantially equal to the fluid and air bubbles to be aspirated, such fluid being replaced by air entering the probe and then dispensing such volume of air from the probe into the container after the probe has been inserted into the container. A hollow needle (18) may also be inserted into the container prior to the aspiration operation to equalize the pressure inside and outside the container before the above step is performed or, the pressure and air volume in the container may be determined and used to calculate the change in air volume of air bubbles which will occur when the probe is removed from the container and this information used to compensate for such increase or shrinkage when fluid is removed from the probe prior to insertion into the container and when air from the probe is injected into the container after insertion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for identifying and/or diagnosing errors in a cable television communication system. The drawing (Figure 1) illustrates a typical CATV transmission network (5|) with which the invention can be used. The system of the invention determines the quality of data received by settop terminals (10) on the network, including at least one settop terminal which analyses each data packet received by the settop terminal and determines whether the received data packet includes errors. The bit error rate is continually calculated, monitored and stored. When the bit error rate exceeds a predetermined threshold, the settop terminal (10) generates a warning signal for transmission to a headend (15), which diagnoses the problem. The cable system headend utilises the results from a group of households that have the same problem in order to isolate the source of failure.

According to the method for analyzing a single bit failure of an integrated circuit memory device, a test mode is entered, bitline load devices of the integrated circuit memory device are turned off, a single bit of the integrated circuit memory device is selected, the device is placed into a write mode, a plurality of bitlines true and a plurality of bitlines complement of the integrated circuit memory device not associated with the single bit are then set to a low logic level, the bitline true and the bitline complement associated with the single bit is connected to a supply bus and a supply complement bus which is connected to test pads. Finally, the electrical characteristics of the single bit can be monitored on the test pads. According to the structure of the present invention, bitline load devices of the integrated circuit memory device are controlled by a test mode signal, the state of which determines when the test mode will be entered. These bitline load devices are connected to the bitlines true and complement which in turn are connected to the memory cell. Select devices, such as column select transistors, are connected to the bitline true and bitline complement; they are also connected to driver circuitry by a bus, such as a write bus, a read bus or a write/read bus. The driver circuitry is supplied with supply voltages as well as data signals. Further, a buffer circuit allows bitlines true and bitlines complement not associated with the single bit being tested to be pulled to a logic low level. A dummy structure also provides the opportunity to directly monitor the bitlines of the integrated circuit memory device without the need for microprobing.

Abstract: The determination method involves using an optimum vector (Copt) from a subset of excitation vectors suitable for maximising a given criterion. These vectors have component values +1 and -1 corresponding to an excitation sample sequence of a linear prediction filter. The criterion is given by the square of the ratio of the scalar product of the excitation vector with the target vector (T) to the modulus of the excitation vector after being passed through a direct linear prediction filter. The filtering process involves preselecting an excitation vector (CO) with components having the same sign as the samples corresponding to the target vector, or having the inverse sign. If the selected vector does not belong to the subset, a vector is selected from the subset (CO'-CN') which maximises the given criterion and those nearest to it in the full set (C1-CN).

Abstract: A method for controlling the flow of data from a longword size bus to a cache (28) of
a computer system during a two clock cycle period of time, the cache (28) having a quadword
size data access path over which a quadword of data is written in a single clock cycle. During
a first cycle of the two clock cycle period of time, a first longword of data is delivered over
the bus to the cache (28) and is stored in a buffer. The cache (28) has a cache block address
to which the data is to be written to obtain a hit signal when the addressed cache block is free
to receive data. In response to the hit signal, a quadword context signal is generated
indicating that the first longword of data is to be paired with a second longword of data to
form a quadword of data and a quadword aligned address signal is generated indicating that
the quadword of data is to be stored at an address aligned with the cache block address. The
second longword together with the first longword are stored in the addressed cache block by
passing them over different portions of the quadword data access path.

Abstract: The method for measuring and evaluation of surface effects is executed using one line measuring of effects at three measuring points by CCD matrix cameras (1, 2, 3), directly after the mechanical treatment of the textile line. The textile line is led over a pointed measuring edge (14). The supply to and the delivery from the edge, results in different angles (alpha and beta) to the verticals on the optical axis of the objective (4). The grey images obtained by the cameras are further processed as binary images, and logic operations are computed with a binary line grating in equal distance lengths of the fibre nap layer. The length measurement values are combined in series for the following evaluations, so that a quasi a real evaluation basis is given. The determined parameters are converted as vectors or sets for each image series at the evaluation algorithm, then treated with Fuzzy algorithm, so that effect quality can be classified.
