Abstract: A catalog of fonts, each font differing from the others in the bit patterns contained in its characters which when printed yield a different color, all fonts comprising the same number of identical characters, the characters being a predetermined number of shapes that can be assembled together to form an area. To the printer, the catalog appears to be a number of fonts, and can therefore be accessed by a printer that has a typical hardware system for printing text. However, when printed using a two-color printer, the printed output will be an area of any size filled in with the specified color.

Abstract: In order to be able to carbonise waste materials with organic constituents economically in a low-temperature carbonisation process, by heating the waste materials during their continuous conveyance along a treatment section to a suitable carbonisation temperature with air largely excluded, it is proposed that the carbonisation gases fed to the treatment section on the inlet side and flowing upwards at least in the region where the waste materials are charged, are passed along upstream of or in the region, where the waste materials are charged, at a higher flow velocity than in the region of the downstream treatment section, the waste materials taken along by the carbonisation gases as a carrier gas stream being heated in free flight in the hot carbonisation gases, while the non-carbonisable residual materials are precipitated out of the carrier gas stream against the upwards-directed gas flow. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A modified Phillips-type screwdriver bit is disclosed that is fully compatible with a standard Phillips-head fastener, and is designed to significantly increase the level of torque that can be applied to the fastener while at the same time substantially reducing the cam-out forces normally produced by a standard Phillips screwdriver-bit. These results are accomplished by the use of a driver having a cross-shaped recess formed in the head thereof, and having associated therewith an axis and including a bit portion symmetrical about any plane containing the axis of the driver and adapted for insertion into said recess which comprises radially symmetrical wing means having generated side surfaces and defining roots therebetween for rotationally driving said fastener on said side surfaces in the same manner in both rotational directions. Preferably said wing means comprise four equally radially spaced bit wings defined by generated side surfaces that in turn define an included angle between adjoining bit wings that progressively increases from a first predetermined angle at the base of said bit wings to a second greater predetermined angle at an axially spaced distance therefrom. The radially outwardly facing surfaces of said bit wings may be tapered toward a common point at an angle relative to the axis of said bit portion substantially equal to the Phillips-standard wing angle. The roots of said bit portion are preferably oriented relative to said bit axis at an angle substantially equal to the Phillips-standard root angle.

Abstract: In a master slice integrated circuit, a number of connection pads are located in a peripheral edge region of a chip in such a manner that each one power supply pad is interposed between each pair of signal input/output pads and a number of unitary pad arrays each of which consists of a signal pad, a power supply pad and another signal pad located in the named order are repeatedly arranged along a peripheral edge of the chip. Thus, the pad pitch can be reduced to two thirds of the width of an I/O cell, without changing the I/O cell size. In addition, since the power supply pad is located adjacent each of the I/O cells, it is effective to suppress or minimize the power supply voltage noise caused by the simultaneous driving.
