Abstract: When a hard disk pack (20) is removed from a com­puter main body in a power-OFF state, a signal level of a specific pin of a connector (61) is set at high level, and a signal of high level representing replacement of the hard disk pack (20) is set in a flip-flop (F/F) 67. When a power switch is turned on, a CPU (11) determines from information set in the F/F (67) that the hard disk pack (20) has been replaced. The CPU (11) disables a resume flag. As a result, upon a power-ON operation, resume processing is not performed, and damage to the hard disk pack and overrun of a program can be prevented.

Abstract: A needle assembly (20) includes an elongate cannula (21) having a first end (34), an opposite end (35) and a sidewall (37) therebetween. The cannula includes a lumen therethrough defining a cannula longitudinal axis (39). A hub (22) having a proximal end (40), a distal end (41) and a passageway (43) therethrough defining a longitudinal axis (44) is provided. The passageway (43) includes an enlarged first portion (45) at the distal end, a second portion (46) adjacent to the first portion (45) and a third portion (47) adjacent to the proximal end. The cannula (21) is positioned in the hub (22) so that the opposite end (35) is within the second portion (46) and the first end (34) projects outwardly from the distal end (41) of the hub (22). The second portion (46) includes a proximally located ledge (49) for establishing the most proximal position of the cannula (21) in the passageway (43) and an inwardly projecting flange (51), located distally from the ledge (44), for contacting and holding a cannula (21) with sufficient force to prevent the cannula (21) from falling out of the hub (22). The annular flange (51) and the ledge (49) interact with the cannula (21) so that the angular relationship between the cannula (21) longitudinal axis and the hub (22) longitudinal axis can be varied and the cannula (21) movably held in a selected angular relationship. Adhesive (23) is provided in the volume described by the first portion for holding the cannula (21) fixedly in the selected angular relationship with respect to the hub (22).

Abstract: A system for subtracting two floating-point binary numbers in a pipelined floating-point adder/subtractor by aligning the two fractions for substraction; arbitrarily designating the fraction of one of the two floating-point numbers as the subtrahend, and producing the complement of that designated fraction; adding that complement to the other fraction, normalizing the result; determining whether the result is negative and, if it is, producing the complement of the normalized result; and selecting the larger of the exponents of the two floating-point numbers, and adjusting the value of the selected exponent in accordance with the normalization of the result. The preferred system produces a sticky bit signal by aligning the two fractions for subtraction by shifting one of the two fractions to the right; determining the number of consecutive zeros in the one fraction, prior to the shifting thereof, beginning at the least significant bit position; comparing the number of positions the one fraction is shifted in the aligning step, with the number of consecutive zeros in the one fraction; and producing a sticky bit signal when the number of consecutive zeros is less than the number of positions the one fraction is shifted in the aligning step, the sticky bit signal indicating the truncation of at least one set bit during the aligning step.

Abstract: A decoding apparatus for receiving data transmitted from transmission equipment which performs subsampling (2) so that a sampling phase is inverted between n frames (n is an integer), converts data subject to subsampling into a two-dimensional block structure (3), generates a discriminating code indicative of detected movement and performs compressing and encoding for the two-dimensional block data. 
     The decoding apparatus comprises a decoding circuit (7) for decoding data and for generating the decoded data, and an adaptive interpolation circuit (9) for interpolating non-transmission data using the actually transmitted data. The interpolation circuit (9) interpolates the non-transmission picture elements, adaptively using transmitted data of the identical frame and an adjacent frame responsive to the discriminating code.

Abstract: In order to control an apparatus (1), such as a rolling mill, a control device (4) may use a pre-set operation pattern to generate a pre-set command signal, which is then modified. 
     That first modification may be part of a feedback loop (Fig. 33) in dependence on the variation of a variable operation device (2) of the apparatus (1), on a plurality of pre-set signals may be combined by fuzzy logic (Fig. 29). Then the relationship between the modified pre-set command signal and the variation of the variable operation device (2) is investigated to generate a compensation signal which is used to modify further the pre-set command signal. In a feedback loop (Fig. 33), that further modification may compensate for changes in the operating point of the loop, due to changes in the apparatus (1) being controlled. In a fuzzy logic arrangement (Fig. 29), the compensation signal may be a further control pattern developed by the control device (4) itself, which is combined with the pre-set patterns by fuzzy logic. The control device may be in the form of a series of modules (375, 379).

Abstract: The molding apparatus (20) of the invention includes a molding cavity (26), a flow regulating portion (27) and a degassing portion (29). The flow regulating portion (27) is situated in a die (21,22) to communicate between the molding cavity (26) and the degassing portion (29) and regulates molten material to pass through and along the flow regulating portion (27) without forming turbulent flow therein. Therefore, the molten material enters into the degassing portion (29) throughout the entire area of the degassing portion. Because of the flow regulating portion (27), the degassing portion (29) may be made large, but the molten material can be properly solidified at the degassing portion (29) without forming partial flow. Gas or air can be sufficiently removed from the die.
