Abstract: A strip feeding mechanism for a terminal applicator (2) comprises a feed pawl (52) which is mounted on an oscillatory pawl carrier (64,66) so that oscillation of the pawl carrier (64,66) results in to and from movement of the feed pawl (52). The pawl carrier (64,66) is coupled by a torque responsive coupling (84,86) to an oscillatory shaft (76) which in turn is coupled through a gear train (100,102,106) to a rack (43) on the applicator ram (22). Reciprocation of the ram (22) results in oscillation of the shaft (76) which in turn results in oscillation of the pawl carrier (64,66), and therefore the limits of the feed stroke of the feed pawl (52), are adjusted by means of a fixed stop (88) which is on the applicator frame and movable stops (92) which are on the pawl carrier. The torque responsive coupling (84,86) permits overtravel of the shaft relative to the pawl carrier.

Abstract: An error correction and detection circuit for the correction of errors in check bits in an encoded data word. It includes a check bit output latch 16 which stores check bits generated by a check bit generator 14 and outputs the newly generated check bits to memory 12 when a single error occurs in the word, located in the check bits. The data is correct so the newly generated check bits are correct and can be latched out to memory 12 at the same time the data is latched out. It includes a syndrome generator 18, an error corrector 34, and an error detector 36. It provides a powerful performance boost to error detection and correction circuits by correcting check bits in memory with newly generated check bits when no errors in the data word are detected.

Abstract: 5 n7 An oxygen sensor having a main body member with an interior chamber, made from material which is an oxygen ion conducting solid electrolyte when at specified temperatures. Electrodes made from material which is porous to oxygen molecules are positioned opposite each other on the main body member, within the interior chamber and on the outside of the main body. Via a port which extends through the main body, changes in the absolute pressure of gas to be tested in the environs of the outer electrode are transmitted to the gas in the environs of the inner electrode. As a result of reference gas being introduced into the interior chamber of the main body through an orifice at a pressure sufficient to maintain the rate of flow at its critical (and therefore constant) rate of flow, the environs of the inner electrode are occupied by reference gas and a flow of gas results, through the main body member from the region of the inner electrode and out through the port. 
     In optional embodiments, only a portion of the test gas directly impinges upon the outer surface of the outer electrode to minimize it being cooled, the main body member is heated to specified temperatures, means are provided to ensure a flow of test gas past the sensor, and/or the outside electrode periodically is exposed to reference gas to calibrate the sensor for cell constant.

Abstract: A process for producing low-cost atmospheres suitable for annealing, brazing, and sintering ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, neutral hardening low, medium, and high carbon steels, sintering ceramic powders, and sealing glass to metal from non-cryogenically produced nitrogen containing up to 5% residual oxygen is disclosed. According to the process, suitable atmospheres are produced by 1) pre-heating the non-cryogenically produced nitrogen stream containing residual oxygen to a desired temperature, 2) mixing it with more than a stoichiometric amount a hydrocarbon gas, 3) passing it through a reactor packed with a platinum group of metal catalyst to reduce the residual oxygen to very low levels and convert it to a mixture of moisture and carbon dioxide, and 4) introducing the reactor effluent stream into the heating zone of a furnace and converting in-situ a portion of both moisture and carbon dioxide with a hydrocarbon gas to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The key features of the disclosed process include 1) pre-heating the non-cryogenically produced nitrogen containing residual oxygen to a certain minimum temperature, 2) adding more than a stoichiometric amount of a hydrocarbon gas to the pre-heated nitrogen stream, 3) using a platinum group of metal catalyst to initiate and sustain the reaction between oxygen and the hydrocarbon gas, and 4) converting in-situ a portion of both moisture and carbon dioxide with a hydrocarbon gas to a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the heating zone of a furnace.

Abstract: Optical recording mediums are prepared by extrution molding. In the extrusion molding, a thermoplastic resin heated to a given temperature is pressed a roll stamper and a roll opposite thereto. A gap between the roll stamper and the roll is precisely defined by belt members fixed on each side of the roll where the roll does not come into touch with the thermoplastic resin. The joints of the respective belt member are formed at positions different from each other on the periphery of the roll. Alternatively the gap may be defined by cutting the roll substrate at its part on which the stamper member is fixed, or by interposing endless belts with a given thickness between the roll stamper and the roll. The stamper member provided on the roll stamper is reduced in stress, and has a surface precision of 10 µm or less.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting and validating formatted blocks during read/write data operations in a magnetic tape data storage system includes component functionality for reading and writing data on a magnetic tape medium in a plurality of modes, including a read-only (R) mode and a read-while-write (RWW) mode, the data being arranged in one or more tracks in a sequence of formatted blocks. In preferred embodiments, formatted block detection and validation is performed by appropriate logic circuitry configured to detect at least one formatting entity representing an inter-block gap, a block acquisition burst, a synchronization character, or any other desired formatting entity, using first and second programmable detection thresholds that are the same or substantially the same in both the R and RWW modes. In addition, a validation determination is made in the RWW mode whether detection of the formatting entity satisfies an RWW error threshold that is greater than either of the first and second programmable detection thresholds. If the RWW error threshold is not satisfied, a message is generated indicating that a write retry may be required. In this way, the detection of various formatting entities is achieved uniformly during the R and RWW modes but provision is also made for applying a more stringent threshold criteria during the RWW mode for write validation.

Abstract: In order to perform tire design and development highly efficiently and provide a tire at low cost, a tire basic model for representing a tire cross-sectional shape including an internal structure and being divided into a plurality of elements, an objective function for representing a physical quantity for evaluation of tire performance, design variables for determining a physical property of rubber members, and a constraint condition for constraining the physical property of the rubber members are determined (100, 102). A value of the objective function and a value of the constraint condition are calculated in accordance with Young's moduli of the rubber members when the design variable is altered by a unit quantity Δr i , and a sensitivity is calculated for each of the design variables (106-112). Predicted values of variation quantities of the design variables for maximizing the value of the objective function while satisfying the constraint condition are calculated by using the sensitivity (114). The steps described above are repeated until the value of the objective function converges (118). Young's moduli of the rubber members are determined on the basis of design variables when the value of the objective function converges to a predicted value (120).
