Abstract: A system for exchanging a developer unit (16) of a copying or printing machine (10) by moving the developer unit between a transporter cart (20) or the like and the development station of the machine while the cart is docked in alignment therewith. The cart has a liftable development unit holder (32) and a simple but effective foot pedal-operated lifting system (26,28,30) for automatically lifting the holder up to the same level as the development station in said machine, so that developer unit rails (18a) thereon are in accurate alignment with rails (18) in the development station for easily moving a developer unit therebetween, irrespective of variations in the level of the cart and the machine due to floor or machine alignment differences. Also disclosed is a system (24,25) of assisting the lateral alignment of the cart with the machine for docking, and safety interlock systems (40,34,42).

Abstract: A dual-port memory is accessed via a fast read port through p-channel access transistors (107, 108) and via a slow read/write port through n-channel access transistors (105, 106). To reduce the disturbances resulting from a read operation through the read/write port, the row-line voltage applied to the gates of the n-channel access transistors is reduced to a value (e.g., 3 volts) below the value used for a write operation (e.g., 5 volts). In this manner, the lowered conductance of the n-channel access transistors during a read operation minimizes the effects of the pre-charged column conductors (113, 114) on the memory cell. Problems that could occur with a simultaneous read from the fast port, among others, are reduced.

Abstract: In the case of a distributor device having connecting contacts for a large number of incoming and outgoing wires or cables, a large number of wire guidance blocks are used, which contain curved channels for threading the wires through. The channels have inlet openings on one side edge and their outlet openings on the top of the block. The device furthermore includes a large number of connecting strips for those wires which emerge from the channel outlet openings of adjacent blocks. Finally, the device also includes a linear carrier along which the blocks and the connecting strips are stacked alongside one another in an alternating sequence and are secured via integrally formed retaining means. After they have been secured, the blocks and strips run transversely with respect to the course of the carrier. For a space-saving device which is easy to operate, it is proposed to connect a pair of wire guidance blocks permanently to one another via end webs to form a box-shaped housing which is open towards the top of the housing. The upper opening, which is located there, of the housing is surrounded in a rectangular shape by the two wire guidance blocks and the two end webs. It forms a retaining socket for the insertion of a connecting strip which is assigned to the housing. The wires which are to be connected to this strip are threaded through the block channels on both sides of this housing. Only the housing is fitted with the retaining means which act directly on the carrier, while the retaining means which belong to the connecting strip act only on the housing. Together with the connecting strip coupled into it, the housing thus forms a structural unit which is held on the carrier as an entity via the retaining means on the housing side. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Object 
     The object of the present invention is to provide a compiler for compiling a source program written in a high-level language into a machine language program, which assigns the variables in the program to the resources consisting of registers, memory and suchlike. 
     Construction 
     The resource assignment apparatus 33 generates the assignments consisting of the variables and their live ranges and finds the inference cost incurred when assigning these various assignments to the each of the various resources consisting of data registers, address registers, memory and suchlike. It then sorts the assignments into groups whereby these inference costs will be the lowest. The resource element minority assignment unit 12 then carries out the assigning of each of these groups of sorted assignments. The various assignments with live ranges which interfere are assigned to different resource elements. When there are a number of resource elements to which an assignment can be assigned, then it investigates which is the most appropriate resource element, before assigning the assignment to this most appropriate resource element. When there is no resource element for which assigning is possible, the assignment is then moved to another resource group.

Abstract: An optical modulation device comprises an optical modulator (102) in which the operating point is varied according to a bias voltage (Vb). A phase deviation (Pd) of an operating point from a selected optimal operating point is detected by a phase comparator (107) based on an output light (ML) of the optical modulator (102). The bias voltage (Vb) is generated within a predetermined voltage range (409) by a DC amplifier (110) so as to reduce the phase deviation (Pd). A reset circuit (109) resets the bias voltage (Vb) at the ground voltage associated with the selected optimal operating point when the optical modulator (102) is powered up and passes the bias voltage to the optical modulator at all other times.

Abstract: To make it least necessary to interrupt the operation of a cutting apparatus 11. 
     Whether there is a prefeeder stop cause which requires a prefeeder 120 to be stopped is detected during wire processing. Upon detecting the prefeeder stop cause, the prefeeder 120 is stopped and the operation of the cutting apparatus 11 is continued by changing a length R of a pass line PH. 
     Even if wire processing is to be hindered unless the prefeeder 120 is stopped in the case that the kind of a wire W is changed, the wire W is entangled or a wire joint is disconnected, the cutting apparatus 11 needs not be immediately stopped, thereby making it least necessary to interrupt the operation of the cutting apparatus 11.

Abstract: A method of recovering particulate silicon, essentially free of silicon-containing compounds, from a by-product stream containing metal salts and high-boiling, silicon-containing compounds having a boiling point above the sublimation temperature of the metal salts. The method comprises, first, separating the particulate silicon and other solids from the by-product stream by a method step such as filtration. The particulates are then washed with a solvent having a boiling point below the sublimation temperature of the metal salt, thereby separating residual, high-boiling, silicon-containing compound from the particulate silicon and other solids. The particulate silicon and other solids are then recovered in a dried form, essentially free of silicon-containing compounds, by spray drying at a temperature below the sublimation temperature of the metal salt.

Abstract: An occlusive implant includes an elongated member having an end, a portion proximal to that end, and a portion distal to that end. The proximal portion is sufficiently flexible so that it can be folded upon itself and maintain that configuration without further restraint. At least a portion of the distal portion is preformed to have a first configuration when in a first state and a second configuration when in a second state. The distal portion second configuration has a flow resistance substantially greater than that of the proximal portion. When discharged in the region to be occluded, the proximal portion is forced into a mass around at least a portion of the distal portion secondary structure. As the mass builds in size, it frictionally engages the surrounding vasculature wall and anchors the implant thereto.
