Abstract: It is known to use reservoirs in clinical analyzers for the provision of a reference liquid for potentiometric tests using twin ion-selective electrodes. Known reservoirs comprise glass or plastic vials which need to be removed from the analyzer for cleaning prior to being replenished. Described herein is a reservoir which comprises a body portion (10, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38), a holder (12, 14, 16, 18) for the body portion (10, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38), a cover portion (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84), a retainer (90, 92, 44) for the cover portion (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84), and a flexible annular ring seal (120) fitted on to the cover portion (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84) to seal off leak paths between the cover portion (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84) and the body portion (10, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38).

Abstract: A tracking-servo-system controller in an optical-disk player according to the present invention uses a high-pass filter (1) to extract from a readout signal an alternating-current component which is not affected by variations in the reflectance of a disk, and produces a control signal for initiating a pull-in operation of the tracking servo system based on the alternating-current component. Firstly, a comparator (2) detects a zero crossing of the alternating-current component. Secondly, a pulse generator (3) produces a pulse on the zero crossing. Thirdly, a D flip-flop (4) is activated by the pulse. An output of the D flip-flop is sent as the servo control signal to the tracking servo system. The tracking servo system starts the pull-in operation on the zero crossing of the alternating-current component. It is thus possible to achieve a stable servo irrespective of variations in the reflectance of the disk.

Abstract: A beverage package has a sealed can 1 having a chamber 5 containing beer 20 having gas in solution and forming a headspace 21 containing gas at pressure greater than atmospheric. A hollow insert 6 in the chamber 5 forms a secondary chamber 10 containing gas at pressure greater than atmospheric. The insert 6 is responsive to a pressure differential developed when the top 4 of the can 1 is opened to inject gas under pressure into the beer 20 through an aperture 11 at the top of an extension 9 of the insert. Said injection of gas liberates gas from solution in the beer 20 and the aperture 11 is located near to the surface of the beer 20 so that, preferably, less than 30% of the volume of the beer 20 is subjected to said gas liberation and adequate gas is maintained in solution in the beer 20 to provide "sparkle" from natural liberation of gas when the beer is poured into a drinking vessel.

Title: Method of communicating with an scsi bus device that does not have an assigned scsi address.
Inventor: GALLOWAY WILLIAM C
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1993-09-29
Abstract: A SCSI device resides and communicates on the SCSI bus without that device being assigned a SCSI address or corresponding SCSI ID. The driver software on the host computer directs the SCSI initiator device to select itself as its target, so the initiator then only asserts one bit of the eight bit SCSI data bus. The SCSI device determines when a SELECTION phase is under way and then determines if only one bit has been asserted on the SCSI data bus. The SCSI device then responds to the initiator as being the target device, thus completing the SELECTION phase. The initiator and the SCSI device can then communicate as a normal initiator and target would during information transfer stages of the SCSI standard. This is all done without the SCSI device occupying a normal SCSI address.

Abstract: Apparatus (10) for feeding sheets seriatim from a sheet supply stack (S). The apparatus comprises a sheet feed head assembly (30) including a plenum (32), a vacuum source (V) in flow communication with the plenum, and a mechanism, such as a feed belt (36), for example, associated with the plenum for urging a sheet acquired by vacuum in a sheet feeding direction away from the sheet supply stack. The sheet supply stack is supported, for example in a hopper on a support platform (14), so as to maintain the topmost sheet in such stack at a predetermined level in spaced relation with respect to the urging mechanism of the sheet feed head assembly. A first positive air supply (42) directs a flow of air at the sheet supply stack to levitate the top several sheets in the supply stack to an elevation enabling the topmost sheet to be acquired by vacuum from the sheet feed head assembly plenum; and a second positive air supply (44) directs a flow of air at an acquired sheet to assure separation of any additional sheets adhering to such topmost sheet.

Abstract: An NMR probe is designed to generate both a homogeneous RF field over the sample volume and, alternatively, a "radial" field comprising two orthogonal gradient fields generated simultaneously in the transverse plane or a linear gradient field. The homogeneous field is generated by means of a known homogeneous coil construction, such as a Helmholtz coil or modified Helmholtz coil (700, 800). The radial field can be generated by means of an inverted Helmholtz coil (806), either modified or unmodified, and the linear field can be generated by a Golay type coil (706), which coils (706, 806) are positioned coaxially with the homogeneous coil (700, 800). The two coils (700, 706 and 800, 806) are connected in parallel to the RF signal generator (718, 814) and switching can be accomplished either by means of an active switch (716, 812) or by detuning one of the coil resonant circuits when the other coil is in use.

Abstract: In an optical disk apparatus according to the present invention, the cathodes of detectors (D1, D2) of a photodetector (8) for generating a tracking signal and an information reproduction signal are connected to each other at a common connection point (56), and the anodes thereof are connected to servo amplifiers (52, 54). A high-speed operational amplifier (50) is connected to the common connection point (56). Since an addition current of currents flowing through the detectors (D1, D2) flows to the common connection point (56), a signal, which is amplified by the high-speed operational amplifier (50) at the common connection point, is output as a reproduction signal. A difference signal between detection signals amplified by the servo amplifiers (52, 54) is supplied to a tracking control circuit as a tracking signal. The high-speed operational amplifier (50) is fixed to a carriage in the movable section of the apparatus, on which an optical head is mounted, and the servo amplifiers (52, 54) are fixed to the fixed section of the apparatus. Therefore, a low-noise reproduction signal can reliably be generated, without exercising an adverse influence on a tracking detection signal.
