Patent EP-0291356-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WOLRICH GILBERT M
IPC: G06F7/00
Filed: 1988-05-16
Abstract: In floating point opertaions, it is necessary to align the fractions of the exponents before addition or subtraction operations can be executed. This fraction alignment is performed by a shifting operation, typically using dedicated apparatus such as a barrel shifter. While the dedicated apparatus provides high performance in the execution of the shifting operation, this performance is accomplished by reserving a portion of the substrate area to apparatus implementation. To avoid the use of dedicated apparatus, the shifting operation is performed in a multiplier unit, according to the present invention, by entering the number to be shifted in the multiplicand register of the multiplier unit while entering appropriate control signals in the multiplier register. In this manner, a shifting operation can be performed without dedicated apparatus and with minor impact on performance.

Abstract: A mushroom-shaped piston 10 is driven to reciprocate in a cylinder 20 by an annular driving part 70 extending around its stem. The driving part forms the "rotor" of a linear electric motor, the "stator" of which is provided by the cylinder. The ends of piston are exposed to greater and lesser pressures P₁, P₂. During movement of the driving member relative to the piston against the bias of a spring 40, fluid flow through a passage 76 containing a one-way valve 60 generates an overpressure in a chamber between seals 30, 32, 34 and prevents leakage of fluid around the seal 30. Figure 2 shows a modification in which the piston 110 has a central well 113, 114 containing a plunger 180 biassed by a diaphragm 140. Here the overpressure is generated in the well and a passage 116 exposes a seal 131 to the overpressure to prevent leakage around the piston.

Abstract: Method and device for pressing and dewatering a paper web (W). In the method a hot-pressing stage is utilized, wherein the wet paper web (W) is pressed in direct contact with a cylinder face (10′) that has been heated to a temperature higher than 100°C. In a pre­heating-pressing stage a relatively long pressing time and a relatively low compression pressure are used. In this preliminary stage the surface layer placed facing the face (10′) that heats the paper web (W) is heated to a temperature higher than 100°C. In the stage following the said stage, the compression pressure (P₁ → p o ) applied to the paper web (W) is lowered so that the vaporization of the water present in the paper web (W) is intensified. After the preceding stage (b), the web (W) is passed substantially immediately to an intensive nip-pressing stage (C₁;E₂), in which it is pressed with a peak pressure (p max ,p max2 ) by one order higher, so that water vapour is blown through the paper web (W), thereby causing some of the water present in the intermediate spaces between the fibres in the web (W) to be blown out and intensified dewatering.

A delay circuit 501y,502y,503y; 501C,502C,503C, preferably formed of field memory devices, such as three cascaded field memories, functions to delay the received video signals to provide a first scanned line signal b in a given field, the next succeeding scan line signal c in that field, an interlaced scan line signal a in the next succeeding field and an interlaced scan line signal d in the next preceding field. A first combining circuit 504y,504C combines the signal values of the next succeeding field interlaced scan line signal a and the next preceding field interlaced scan line signal d to form a first combined scan line signal. A second combining circuit 505y;505C combines the signal values of the first scan line signal b in the given field and the next succeeding scan line signal c in that field to form a second combined scan line signal.

Abstract: In combat units with a fire control system (1) and secondary systems (2, 3), namely effectors, the aimable target axis of which does not have an earth reference, the target instruction of the secondary systems (2, 3) is made possible by the fact that these are equipped with directional receivers (55), data preparation devices (52, 54) and a fade-in sight (53) which, on the one hand, detect the direction of incidence of the signal transmitted by the main system (1) in relation to their own sighting line (21, 31) and, on the other hand, indicate the supplied instruction information in suitable form in the sight (53). A lead centrally calculated by the fire control system is indicated in the sight (53) of the effector which so aims the gun before firing that the lead mark (47) coincides with the effective target (6) visible in the sight (53); there is no need to determine any lead in the secondary system. An especially favourable embodiment comprises a directional transmitter (76) on the main system (7), with the result that there is no need for agreement on the reference direction between the main system (7) and secondary system (8) and alignment can take place automatically. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A discrete track magnetic record disk is provided with a plurality of angularly spaced servo sectors (18), each sector being formed of a plurality of discrete blocks (32, 34, 36, 38) of magnetic material which are magnetically polarised in the disk's circumferential direction. These discrete servo blocks (32, 34, 36, 38) and the discrete magnetic tracks (20, 22, 24) are formed at the same time during the fabrication of the record disk so that each servo block is precisely and permanently radially aligned with an associated discrete data track. Following the fabrication of the disk, each of the servo blocks is exposed to the magnetic field generated by passing a direct current (DC) through a recording head. In this manner each of the servo blocks becomes magnetised in the circumferential direction and thereby presents two discrete magnetic transitions to a servo read head or a read/write head.

Abstract: The essence of the proposed process for electroplating surface segments situated on the surface of an object is that the surface of the object (1) is first provided by mechanical means with a corrugation or knurling (3, 4) which is coated with an insulating material (6). Exposed surface segments (7) are then produced by stripping the surface and these are electroplated. The insulating material in between is then removed. This makes it possible, for example, in the case of grinding tools on which an electroplated layer containing abrasive particles is to be deposited, to keep the segments small and to create gaps for receiving cuttings which are recessed with respect to the surface segments. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hollow cathode (16) capable of self-heating by back ion bombardment to a thermionic emission temperature axially discharges therefrom an ionized plasma (26) of an ambient gas (14) such as xenon. Electrons are axially or radially extract­able from the plasma (26) by an anode (18). A voltage is applied to a keeper electrode (20) disposed between the cathode (16) and anode (18) to sustain plasma (26) discharge of the gas (14) between the cathode (16) and keeper electrode (20). A control electrode (22) is disposed between the keeper electrode (20) and the anode (18). Application of a positive voltage (relative to the cathode) to the control electrode (22) causes the plasma (26) discharge to extend from the cathode (16) to the anode (18), thus closing the switch. Application of a negative control electrode (22) voltage, or simply return­ing the control electrode (22) to cathode (16) potential, causes the plasma (26) discharge to retract back to the area of the keeper electrode (20), thereby opening the switch.
