Abstract: A method of reading positional information on photographic film in which items of positional information are read during the feeding of an elongated photographic film (18), the positional information items being provided in a predetermined sequence and in correspondence with a plurality of image frames (54) recorded on the film in the longitudinal direction thereof. The number of feed pulses that corresponds to the direction and the distance which the photographic film is fed is calculated. On the basis of the calculated number of feed pulses and of the corresponding item of positional information, the number of feed pulses corresponding to a predetermined reference position is calculated. On the basis of the calculated number of feed pulses corresponding to the predetermined reference position, the position at which each of the following items of positional information have been read is checked. Based on the number of feed pulses, it is therefore possible to check whether or not the read positional information items are correct.

Abstract: A microprocessor according to the present invention comprises a sub-read bus (203), to which output terminals of registers (6) of a register file of the microprocessor are coupled. The sub-read bus is in turn coupled to a main read bus (201) of the microprocessor through a bus output circuit (18). Upon occurrence of a read access to any of the registers (16), the bus output circuit (18) couples the sub-read bus (203) with the main read bus (201), whereby data read out from the registers (16) to the sub-read bus are transmitted to the main read bus (201), and under no existence of the read access, the bus output circuit interrupts the data transmission from the sub-read bus to the main read bus. With this, a load capacitance of the read bus is reduced. As a result, an access time for access to the read bus is reduced.

Abstract: In order to reduce the wear and increase the filling level as compared with conventional cellular wheel sluices having cylindrical rotors, the rotor is here spherically arranged with an obliquely downward-inclined shaft. As a result of the spherical embodiment, the average peripheral speed of the rotor is lower and the frictional surface about 1/3 less than with a constant rotor volume; in the case of use in pneumatic conveying installations, the leakage rate is correspondingly less as a result. As a result of the inclined shaft, firstly the main conveyed volume is conveyed into the lower region of the rotor, whereby high filling levels are achieved, and secondly the conveyed material is transported away from the bearing passage. In the case of particularly free-flowing materials such as plastic granules, filling levels of more than  80% are achieved (about 60% for cylindrical rotors) by restricting the inlet cross-section while simultaneously retaining the spherical shape of the inner chamber. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A monostable circuit with device-status feedback control to an external timing terminal is used to controllably change the magnetization state of a ferrite phase shifter core. A pair of such bistable circuits with suitable feedback controls permits a single command pulse of controlled duration to controllably both reset a ferrite core to a saturated magnetic state and then subsequently set the core to a desired non-saturated magnetization state (corresponding to the time duration of the single command pulse). By addition of suitable steering circuits, the controlled resetting and setting of one or more pairs of such ferrite cores can also be achieved using the same single command pulse. The ability to both reset and set plural ferrite phase shifter cores with but a single command pulse of controlled duration permits considerable simplification of beam steering control wiring for a two-dimensional phase array of RF radiators (e.g., so as to provide electronic beam steering control).

Abstract: An improved conduit assembly for coupling a heat pipe evaporator with a a Stirling engine heat exchanger. The conduit assembly features a cylindrical main tube section connected to a flared shell joining the heat exchanger of the Stirling engine. The flared shell provides an increasing cross-sectional area which reduces the velocity of vaporized heat pipe working fluid flowing from the heat pipe evaporator to the heat exchanger. Such reduced velocity has been found to minimize entrainment of liquid within the transmitted vapor. The conduit assembly further includes an internal small diameter liquid return duct which provides additional isolation of the liquid and vapor phases of the heat pipe working fluid as a means of further reducing entrainment. Surface tension breakers are provided which communicates the heat exchanger to the inlet end of the liquid return duct to wick away liquid working fluid from the heat exchanger. Contaminant gases within the heat pipe are removed through the use of an externally heated getter and an internal getter within the vapor flow path.

Abstract: A flame detector has a sensor for producing a digital waveform (8A) representing the flickering flame. Its turning points are detected and the magnitudes 60A,60B,60C... between successive such points are measured. The value of each such magnitude is plotted on a graph (8B) whose horizontal axis represents the current value and whose vertical axis represents the immediately preceding value. Points such as E and F are produced lying in regions away from the diagonal B and from the axes. If the detected waveform originates from a regularly varying interfering source, the corresponding points will lie on or near the diagonal B. If the interfering source is a waveform undergoing step changes, the corresponding points will lie adjacent to the axes. In this way, discrimination between flames and interfering sources of radiation can be made.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus of the present invention is an apparatus by means of which the constituent concentration of a specimen is measured on the basis of the color change in a test material housed in a test piece, which has reacted because of the specimen. The apparatus irradiates the test material which is a test piece loaded in the apparatus's main body and detects the intensity of the light reflected by the test material. A detection signal detected in the above way is sampled in a time period before and after the measurement timing at which the test material changes in color because of the specimen. An average value of the sampled detection signals is determined. The constituent concentration of the specimen is computed by referring to a stored conversion table on the basis of the average value determined in the above way.
