Abstract: In the present invention, the velocity of a motor is controlled by fuzzy inferential reasoning in a transitional period when the motor is started, changed in speed, reversed or stopped. Such fuzzy control eliminates an increase in the length of transitional period caused by a limitation in supply current under conventional PLL control and makes possible a rapid transition to a target velocity. A plurality of fuzzy rules (1030a) are provided and one of these fuzzy rules (1030a) is selected in accordance with the length of the previous transitional period, thereby suppressing the effects of load fluctuation and the influence of a fluctuation in torque caused by a rise in temperature. Therefore, the length for transitional control of a motor can be shortened and the apparatus is reduced in size.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a charge pump (71-85) to provide current at a potential which is greater than a supply potential (V CC ). An oscillator (75) provides an output to a pair of capacitors (81,82). Each capacitor (81,82) is shunted, respectively by one of a pair of clamp circuits (71,72). An output transistor (85) (85) is gated by one of the clamp circuits (72) to maintain a continuous output at an elevated potential, while reducing power loss caused by impedances within the charge pump circuit. By using the charge pump as a source of elevated potential, the circuit layout of the DRAM array is simplified and the potential boosting circuitry can be located outside of the array, on the periphery of the integrated circuit. When used with an integrated circuit device, such as a DRAM, the current from the charge pump may be supplied to nodes on isolation devices and nodes on word lines, thereby improving the performance of the DRAM without substantially changing the circuit configuration of the DRAM array.

Abstract: In a twin-drum type continuous casting machine including a pair of drums (1) having rotary shafts (8) supported in parallel to each other from a pair of frames (10) via chocks (9) and rotating in the opposite directions to each other with a gap space held therebetween, and a depressing device (11) for the drums (1), a a method for detecting a sheet thickness of a thin sheet being cast is improved so that detection of a sheet thickness can be carried out reliably at a high precision without delay. A gap space distance between the drums (1) is calculated by detecting a depressed position from the depressing device (11). A correction value for the gap space distance is calculated from a deflection of the frame (10) by detecting a depressing force of the depressing device (11). A correction value for the gap space distance is also calculated from a thermal deformation of the frame (10) by detecting a temperature of frame coolant water of the frame (10). A correction value for the gap space distance is further calculated from a thermal deformation of the drums (1) by detecting a temperature of drum coolant water of the drums (1). The calculated gap space distance is corrected with the respective calculated correction values. Thereby the sheet thickness of the thin sheet being cast can be detected precisely. 
     An apparatus favorably available for practicing the above-mentioned method for detecting a sheet thickness of a thin sheet being cast, is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making an expression vector which produces a biological active receptor. The method includes synthesizing a linker having the carboxyl six amino acids of ubiquitin and an internal restriction site and cloning the synthesized linker to form a plasmid. The plasmid is then digested with a restriction endonuclease which is compatible with the internal restriction site in the synthesized linker. After the digestion of the plasmid a cDNA coding for the receptor is inserted into the compatible restriction site and the plasmid is then used to transform yeast. In the procedure, the yeast that is usually used is from the strains of Saccharomyce and Aspergillus. In addition, numerous vectors which express the human vitamin D receptor, human androgen receptor, human progesterone receptor, thyroid receptor, retinoic acid receptor, chicken progesterone receptor, chicken vitamin D receptor, rat vitamin D receptor and COUP protein are described. A further aspect of the invention is the reporter vector which includes the proximal promoter element of the yeast iso-l-cytochrome C and a structural gene selected from  E .  coli  either the ö-Galactosidase gene or the Galactokinase gene. The reporter vector is used to detect for agonist and antagonists for the steroid hormone receptor. A further element of the invention is a chimera made up of the DNA binding domain from one receptor and the hormone binding domain from another receptor. The chimera is used in an assay to identify the function of the unknown receptor component. Additional aspects are clinical and laboratory assays for biological compounds using the receptors synthesized from the expression vectors and using receptor vectors.

Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic data and drive circuit for a multi-laser thermal printer. The circuit provides data and drive signals for the individual laser channels of the print head of the printer. Because the laser channels are closely spaced to obtain ultra-fine detail in a printed image (e.g., 1800 lines per inch), only a narrow portion of an image (termed a swath) is printed at a time. The printed image which finally results consists of multiple "swaths" printed closely alongside each other. To eliminate visually objectionable lines (i.e., printing artifacts) where one swath joins another in the printed image, a pair of "dummy" laser channels (0,n+1) in the print head are driven with combined or "AND"-ed data provided by the circuitry.

Abstract: The outer surface of the tumbler (1) has an opening closed by at least one door (15) which can be moved selectively between a closed position and an open position by a translatory movement substantially parallel to the principal axis (X₁) of rotation of the tumbler. The door or doors (15) in question are moved by an opening device (21) which is located in a fixed position on the frame which supports the drum-like rotary body of the tumbler. The opening device (21) includes one or more slides (23) which have grooves (25) through which external pins (20) on the doors (15) are intended to pass so that the doors (15) can be opened and closed as a result of corresponding movements of the slides (23) towards and away from each other. 
     The products can thus be discharged even when the tumbler is rotating. For this purpose, the portion of the tumbler which faces downwardly at any particular time is surrounded by an apron-like structure (12) with an outlet at its bottom. The control unit (5) of the tumbler is configured so that, whilst the products are being discharged, it imparts a general swinging motion to the tumbler, with its outlet opening facing downwards. 
     The preferred application is for processing food and pharmaceutical products, for example, for coating products with layers of chocolate.

Abstract: A method, system and program are provided for effectively managing class method names by collecting representations of all of the names and additional supporting information in a single data structure. Management is accomplished by the operation of an algorithm in the memory of a processor which employs two mechanisms. First, the class method procedure tables are initialized by class specific procedures. This allows applications to access the methods without requiring externalization of the method names. The information provided by the specific procedures is retained by the class object and is accessible via class methods whenever the information is required. Second, any additional supporting information for methods, in particular the offset in the method procedure table for each method, is recorded in a single externally named data structure. The combination of the two mechanisms eliminates the requirement of external names on a per method basis.
