Abstract: An outputting apparatus for receiving print data constructed by binary data and/or multi-value data from an external apparatus and for printing comprises: a memory having a multi-value data area and a binary data area in a limited memory capacity; a reducing circuit to reduce a capacity of the binary data area when an amount of multi-value data is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount; a printer for reading out the multi-value data and the binary data from the memory; and a controller for controlling the data storage into the binary data area and the reading operation of the binary data from the binary data area synchronously with the printing by the printer when the binary data area has been reduced by the reducing circuit. By making the memory capacity of the binary data variable in accordance with the amount of multi-value data, the memory space can be efficiently used.

Abstract: A dental composition, such as a paste or gel dentifrice containing triclosan, as an antibacterial agent which acts to decrease plaque on the teeth, is packaged in a hand holdable and squeezable dispensing container which is made of or includes a part or parts of a solid polymeric material, such as a polyfluoroethylene or polyvinyl chloride, which is compatible with triclosan, so that excessive loss of its anti-plaque activity on storage is avoided, which losses have been noted when various other plastics have been employed as dispensing container component materials. Alternatively, other more-reactive plastics may be employed for such dispensing container parts when a stabilizer, such as terpene, e.g., limonene, is present in the dentifrice. The dentifrice preferably also contains an anti-tartar proportion of polyphosphate, a tooth hardening proportion of a source of fluoride ions, a stabilizing proportion (in conjunction with the fluoride source) for the polyphosphate, of a polyvinyl methyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer, and normal dentifrice components and adjuvants.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of delivering smokable material to a cigarette maker with reduced degradation of the smokable material. A vertical reservoir tube (12) is provided directly overhead of a plurality of rotatable and longitudinally vibratable rollers (16,22) having interdigitating pins (20,24) attached thereto. The rollers (16,22) serve to meter and open the smokable material. The opened smokable material then falls as a shower from the rotating rollers (16,22) to a convergent channel (40) formed by two walls (42,44) orientated at different angles to the horizontal. Air flow channels (46,48) are provided which feed air along each wall (42,44), thereby providing an essentially laminar stream of air downwardly along the walls (42,44). An arrangement of multiple hoppers is also provided which permit blending of different types of smokable material prior to forming the smokable material into a braid and feeding the braid to the cigarette maker garniture.

Abstract: A disk drive system employs uniform size data blocks, with each disk having a sectorized track format and each sector of a track including at least one servo burst. Data blocks exhibit a constant data density across a plurality of disk tracks of differing radii. The system comprises read/write apparatus (10,12) for accessing both servo signals and data signals in each disk sector. A servo system (20,30) is responsive to servo signals fed from the read/write apparatus (10,12) to generate a synchronizing signal (62). A data sector pulse generation circuit (60,70,72,74,76,78) is responsive to the synchronizing signal (62) to generate and pass to the read/write apparatus (10,12), a data sector pulse for each block of data commencing in a sector. That data sector pulse enables operation of the read/write apparatus (10,12) upon the data block. A control circuit (72,76) enables the delay of generation of a next data sector pulse when any block of data is split by a servo burst. The delay period is the duration of the servo burst and the portion of the data block that follows the servo burst.

Abstract: A mechanical ignition sensor which can reduce rotational resistance of a trigger lever (34). An inner periphery of a slit (41) on the side of a spring (32) is formed into an inclined surface (41A) which is an abutment surface with an outer peripheral side of the slit opened. An inclined surface (40A) of a slide holding portion (40) is formed as a curved surface along a locus of rotation of an abutment leading end portion of the slide holding portion. An angle of inclination (α) of an abutment leading end (P) of an inertial mass body (30) with respect to an axial direction of the mechanical ignition sensor is set small such that only the abutment leading end (P) abuts against the inclined surface (40A) of the slide holding portion (40). As a result, sliding resistance between the inclined surface (41A) of the slit and the inclined surface (40A) of the slide holding portion becomes smaller. Further, an end portion (32B) of the spring (32) is inserted into a ring groove (35) having a semicircular cross-sectional configuration, formed at a transverse-directional central portion of an end surface (30A) of the inertial mass body (30).
