Abstract: Volume rendering apparatus including a voxel memory, a parameter provider, an address generator, a mapping unit, an image memory and a blender. The voxel memory stores original volume data. A parameter provider calculates a parameter of a volume plane which slices the volume object orthogonally to a direction of view, calculates a parameter of a three-dimensional mapping plane which slices the mapping object according to a point of view coordinate system and converts the three-dimensional mapping plane to a two-dimensional mapping plane. An address generator generates voxel memory addresses and image memory addresses and a mapping unit maps the volume plane on each of the mapping planes. An image memory stores mapping data and rendering data and a blender performs blending of data in the image memory and data on each of the mapping planes and writes the blended data back in the image memory.

Abstract: Disclosed is laminate flooring and other articles with tongues and grooves for joining sections of the flooring or articles and a method of making the tongue and groove joints. The lower surfaces of the tongues and grooves are indexing surfaces for aligning the wear surfaces of the flooring sections. The tongues and grooves are made such that when the tongue is fully inserted into the groove, a continuous space is formed between the upper surface of the tongue and groove. The grooved edges are cut at an acute angle to the surface. This provides a space between the upper surfaces of the tongue and groove and between the edge surfaces above the tongues and grooves toward the wear surfaces of the flooring sections. Glue in the joint, upon curing, resists penetration of moisture and increases the strength of the joint.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for tobacco expansion
is employed for expanding tobacco at rapid throughput
rates. The apparatus includes a spool and shell
assembly wherein the spool is moveable within the shell
between loading, impregnating, and unloading positions.
In the impregnating position, sealing assemblies seal
the radial clearance between shell and the end members
of the spool to provide a pressure vessel for tobacco
impregnation. The sealing assemblies includes at least
one elastically deformable sealing ring associated with
the circumferential exterior of the end member. A
pressure applying member is operatively associated with
an axial end of each of the sealing members to
releasably impart axial pressure onto the axial end of
the sealing member when the spool is in the treating
position to cause radial expansion of the deformable
sealing ring and thereby accomplish sealing of the
spool within the shell.

Abstract: In a two-way radio paging system whose communication
efficiency is improved, when a mobile station (2) becomes incapable
of transmitting, unnecessary communication is not repeated
between a transmission base station (1) and a reception base
station (3). When a state is noticed that where it is capable of
transmitting from the mobile station (2), the transmission base
station (1) transmits calling-signal to the mobile station (2). The
mobile station (2) receives the calling signal, before transmitting
reception response toward the reception base station (3). The
reception base station (3) receives the reception response. One
communication is completed. When the reception base station (3)
failed to receive the reception response, the transmission base
station (1) transmits again calling-signal. This is repeated until
the reception base station (3) succeeds in receiving the reception
response from the mobile station (2). When a state is noticed that
where it is difficult to continue transmission from the mobile
station (2), the side of base station causes subsequent
communication processing to limit to calling transmission from
the transmission base station (1) to the mobile station (2). The
reception base station (3) does not receive the reception response
from the mobile station (2) to complete one communication.

Abstract: An air-cooled steam condenser (30) also uses heat pipe technology so as to provide steam tubes that are freeze proof under any ambient conditions, and offering a simple approach to the management of noncondensable gases. Steam flows through the main condenser (32) with concurrent steam and condensate flow downwards. The heat transfer surface area and fan air flow are designed such that all of the steam does not completely condense, and steam vapour continuously exits each tube row. This continuous flow of steam vapour purges these tube rows of noncondensable gases. The excess steam flows into the lower header (34) to a secondary condenser section (36) that utilizes heat pipes (48). In the secondary condenser section (36), the excess steam condenses on the evaporator side external surface of the heat pipes (48). The noncondensable gases that remain in the lower header (34) are vented with an air removal system (52) similar to conventional condensers. Condensate in the lower header (34) is collected for reuse in the power generation cycle.

Abstract: In an input protection circuit for use in a semiconductor integrated
circuit, a switch device 4, which becomes a conducting condition in
response to an overvoltage applied between opposite ends thereof, is
connected between a wiring conductor connecting an external input
terminal 7 to an input node of an input first stage inverter 5 and an output
node N 3  of a logic gate 10 included within an internal circuit 3 provided
in the semiconductor integrated circuit. When an overvoltage is applied
to the external input terminal 7, the switch device 4 becomes the
conducting condition so that the electric charge of the overvoltage applied
to the external input terminal 7, is discharged through a MOS transistor
Q P6  or Q N7  constituting the logic gate 10 within the internal circuit 3, to
a power supply voltage line 1A or a ground potential line 2A which is
laid within the internal circuit 3 for supplying a power supply voltage or
a ground potential to the MOS transistor Q P6  or Q N7 . Thus, an effective
input protection circuit can be realized with a reduced occupying area on
the semiconductor chip, with a reduced increase of the input terminal
capacitance and with a reduced restriction to the circuit layout.
