IPC: G11B33/12
Filed: 1999-02-12
Abstract: A magnetic disc unit which can restrain occurrence of flutter
so as to countermeasure such a problem that the larger the
rotational speed of discs, the higher the flutter, causing
heat positioning errors, in order that the high rotational
speed and high positioning accuracy are consistent with each
other. Discs (1) are surrounded along their outer peripheries
by a shroud (outer wall) (20) while a gap between end faces
of the discs (1) and the shroud (20) is decreased to a predetermined
distance, thereby to eliminate air pressure differential
between opposite surfaces of each of the discs in order
to reduce flutter.

Abstract: A ceramic pipe (1) has a flange (7) and a sealing device possessing a ceramic clamp collar (9) concentrically mounted and sealed to the outside of the pipe and with an annular ring (11) abutting the opposite side of the clamp collar to the flange, so that the clamp collar is sprung gripped between the flange and the annular ring, and that at least one gasket (14) is placed between the clamp collar and the flange. An oven wall (2) has a flanged connection (4) through which a ceramic lance (1) makes a gas-tight seal with the oven, e.g. to be used as an internal burner. The lance assembly is secured to the oven flange (4), via the flange (7) and bolt (6). Set screws (12) inserted through the face flange (7) engage with the annular ring (11) and in turn secure this flange to the ceramic pipe. Spring washers (13) under the heads of the screws (12) grip the clamp collar (9). Removal of the screws allows release of the connection between flange (7) and the ceramic pipe. Preferred Feature: The clamp collar (12) is cemented to the ceramic pipe (1) with a silicate cement.

Abstract: In the production of maleic anhydride by the contact
of a raw material gas containing an aliphatic hydrocarbon
of not less than 4 carbon atoms and molecular oxygen with
a vanadium-phosphorus oxide catalyst, the raw material gas
is caused to allow presence therein of nitrogen and an inert
gas possessing a thermal conductivity of not less than 800
(10 -4 Wm -1 K -1 ) at 700K. The gas formed by the oxidation reaction
is allowed to contact an absorbent to effect recovery of the
produced maleic anhydride. Maleic anhydride is recovered
from produced oxidation reaction gas separated from a
remained oxidation reaction gas after recovering maleic
anhydride, and the saparated inert gas is circulated to the
reaction zone. The catalyst capable of producing maleic
anhydride with a high yield can be obtained by activating
the vanadium-phosphorus oxide catalyst with the gas
composition containing an inert gas possessing a thermal
conductivity of not less than 800 (10 -4 Wm -1 K -1 ) at 700K.

Abstract: A reflection type liquid-crystal display which is
excellent in contrast when viewed with or without illumination
and also in display brightness and in which displayed images viewed
through a light conductive plate are less apt to be disturbed,
i.e., excellent in clearness, and are less apt to have a decrease
in perceptibility caused by moire phenomenon; and to develop a
light conductive plate and a surface light source device with each
of which the liquid-crystal display can be fabricated. 
     A light conductive plate having, formed on the upper
surface (11) thereof, a light-emitting means which serves to
deflect incident light from an incidence-side edge (13) of the
plate to emit the light through the lower surface (12) of the plate
and further having, at least on the lower surface thereof, an
antireflection layer (2) which enables incident light from the
lower surface of the plate to pass through the upper surface of
the plate; a surface light source device comprising the light
conductive plate described above and a light source disposed by
the incidence-side edge thereof; and a reflection type
liquid-crystal display comprising the surface light source device
described above and, disposed on the lower side thereof, a
liquid-crystal cell having a reflecting layer. 
     The antireflection layer disposed on the lower surface
inhibits the upper surface from emitting the leakage light which 
is superposed on displayed images to cause white blurring and a
decrease in contrast, whereby satisfactory perceptibility is
attained regardless of whether the display is in an illuminated
or unilluminated state.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes a graphics layout language that is defined by the broadcaster or the studio to control the layout of graphic overlays in relation to corresponding images presented on a display. Each user interface component is divided into objects that define their individual behaviors and presentations. Data files using the hypertext markup language, HTML, layout these objects on the screen. By varying the HTML data files, control is provided to the broadcaster over what objects are displayed on the screen, where they are placed on the screen, and to a limited effect, their behavior. This can be accomplished without re-writing the executables as would be necessary in other television type user interface implementations.

IPC: H04L12/14

Abstract: A system and method for determining charges for use of network service connections. The network includes nodes which facilitate the transfer of information between source and destination locations. When a connection is established with a node, a billing cell is transmitted to the node over the connection which contains billing and connection information. Data cells are transmitted over the same connection subsequent to the billing cell. A terminate billing cell or conventional means may be used to drop the connection when the connection is no longer needed. The node computes the cost of using the connection based on the billing and connection information copied from the billing cell, and may also consider the connection time and the amount of data transferred over the connection. Upon establishing a subsequent connection with another node, the previous node transmits the billing cell to the new node which copies the billing cell content and, after receiving the data cells over the new connection, performs similar connection usage computations. This process is repeatded by each of the nodes involved in the transfer of information between the source and destination. The nodes transmit their respective charging information to a network billing system which generates a final bill that is forwarded to the user. The billing cell may be transmitted from the destination back to the source to verify proper operation of the billing procedure. Fixed rate and variable rate billing schemes may be implemented and augmented as needed by each network operator.
