Abstract: Motion of the moving handrail (4) of an escalator or moving walkway is interrupted in the event that a foreign object is carried into the handrail reentry housing area on the handrail. Handrail movement stops independently of movement of the conveyor steps, so that the handrail will stop even as the steps are still decelerating as a result of an appropriate signal from a reentry housing foreign object sensor (5). The handrail will be reset for further motion after the steps stop but will not commence further movement until the steps are intentionally restarted.

Abstract: A container for carrying and dispensing liquid and semi-liquid products includes an inner product tank (3) received within an outer protective tank (5). The inner tank receives the liquid or semi-liquid product to be transported from one location to another, while the outer tank protects the inner tank from punctures and other damage during transport of the container, and during discharge and refill of product in the inner tank. The outer tank has downwardly extending support legs (35), which enable separate containers to be stacked atop each other. The support legs of the outer tank transfer the stacking load from the top surface to the bottom surface of the outer tank legs and for reducing load stresses on the inner tank holding the liquid or semi-liquid product. The inner and outer tanks cooperate with each other to facilitate drainage and cleaning of the inner tank, and for protection of a product pump including a discharge hose, while one or more tanks are stacked atop each other during transit. A sight window (9) on the surfaces of the inner and outer tanks, and a product tube (13) extending into the inner tank, provide an observable indication of the quantity of product remaining in the inner product tank. The container provides a system for safely and efficiently transporting liquid and semi-liquid products together with the equipment necessary for selectively discharging the product from the container at the desired location.

Abstract: A liquid crystal cell and a plasma cell are layered together with a dielectric sheet in between. Data electrodes (105) (column electrodes) are constructed to form parallel columns on the underside of an upper substrate (104) in a display cell. Discharge channels (112) filled with ionizable gas are constructed in parallel rows in a plasma cell. Row electrodes (131) are constructed on the upperside of a lower substrate (108) corresponding to each of the discharge channels, and reference electrodes (135) to which reference voltages are applied, are constructed inside each of the discharge channels. Data voltages are applied to the data electrodes and drive pulses are applied to the row electrodes. The polarities of the data voltages are changed so as to be opposite to the polarities of the drive pulses with respect to the reference voltages. Each time the polarities of the drive pulses are inverted, plasma discharges are generated in the discharge channel corresponding to the row electrodes to which the drive pulses are applied.

Abstract: A semiconductor laser power build-up system includes a semi-conductor laser (110). An optical resonance cavity is defined between at least two reflective elements (120; 310; 410 and 122, 124, respectively) and has an intracavity light beam (126) along an intracavity beam path. A return light beam (136), which is a portion of the intracavity light beam, is transmitted through one of the reflective elements and is coincident with but oppositely directed relative to the incident beam. The laser is wholly optically locked to the cavity and the intracavity beam passes substantially without loss within the cavity. In a preferred application, a sample is placed in the cavity and a detector (130) is provided to sense chemicals in the sample by, for example, detecting Raman-scattered light. A wavelength-determining element (118) such as a grating or an etalon is preferably in the incident beam path between the laser and the cavity. The reflective elements can have very low transmission losses, an emission facet of the laser can have very low reflectivity, and feedback into the laser may be strong, for example, above 3%. When the laser is a diode laser, the invention provides for driving the diode laser with a current that is less than its bare-diode threshold current.

Abstract: An identification system, e.g. for tagging goods in a retail store, has at least one interrogator (10) and a number of transponders (11) for attaching to goods. Each transponder responds to an interrogation signal from the interrogator by returning a response signal containing information stored in the transponder. The transponder can be switched, by means of a mode switching signal from the interrogator, into a reduced power mode in which the power level of the response signal is reduced from its normal level. The reduced power mode may for example be selected when the goods have been paid for, to ensure that the transponder does not trigger an anti-theft gate, which can detect only the normal power level. The transponder can, however, still be read by an interrogator capable of detecting the reduced power level, e.g. at a customer services desk.

Abstract: A connector (2) comprises a housing (4) for receiving terminals therein, a secondary locking member (8) mountable thereto and a linear bayonet type of slide-lock member (10) to assist coupling of the connector (2) to a complementary connector. In the preassembly position, the slide lock member (10) is in a fully closed position where shoulders (60) engage with latches (42) of the secondary locking member (8) which is in the preassembly position allowing reception of terminals in cavity (16) of the connector housing. When the secondary locking member (8) is depressed into its fully locked position, the latches (42) disengage from the shoulders (16) of the slide-lock member (10), thus allowing it to be opened to enable coupling to the complementary connector. Due to the slide-lock member (10) being in a fully closed position when the secondary locking member is in a preassembly position, coupling between the connector (2) with a complementary connector is prevented, and in particular not even partial coupling is allowed as the complementary connector studs cannot engage in the camming slots (50) at all.

Abstract: In a timer apparatus, the clock controlling circuit thereof outputs a clock signal during a period in which an input signal is significant. The counter thereof counts the number of pulses of the clock signal to generate a count-up signal when the value of count gets to a prescribed value. The initialization circuit thereof outputs an initialization signal when the input signal comes not to be significant. The clock controlling circuit stops the output of the clock signal when the count-up signal is generated. Thereby, it is prevented to misjudge the detection of an effective pulse width to get to the effective pulse width though the pulse width of the pulse does not get to the effective pulse width actually.
