Abstract: In conventional logic buffer circuits, internal signal overshoot during switching transitions causes power supply spikes or bounce, which may in turn degrade the operational reliability of other circuits in the same system. By using a pair of current amplifier circuits (Q6, Q7; Q8, Q9) within the logic buffer circuit to shunt a portion of the signal over­shoot, the output current of the logic buffer circuit is caused to change linearly with time, so that power supply bounce or spikes are substantially reduced.

Abstract: Extruded tobacco has its chemical composition changed during the extrusion process. Divided tobacco and ammonia are introduced into an extruder. The combination of temperatures and pressures within the extruder provides for liberation of nicotine from the tobacco. The ammonia and liberated nicotine are removed from the extruder. In addition, the ammonia and sugars within the tobacco can react to further modify the chemical composition of the tobacco. Extrudate is collected separately from the liberated materials. In such a manner, tobacco can be reformed into an extruded shape while having its chemical composition altered.

Abstract: When a data read timing of a DMAC (3) is not matched with an output timing of data read out from a DRAM (1), the readout data is held in a register (6) until a subsequent data read timing of the DMAC comes to the front. When data is read out from the DRAM, and if a processor clock of the DMAC has a phase matched with that of an operation clock of the DRAM, then a direct read operation is performed. If the phases of the two clocks are not matched with each other, the readout data from the DRAM (1) is temporarily stored in the register and then fetched in the DMAC (3).

Abstract: The underlying object of the invention, which starts from an apparatus for loading billets and, if required, pressing discs into horizontal metal extrusion presses, which has two or more loading shells (28, 29), which are arranged one behind the other along the press axis, are supported by swivel arms (24, 25) or push rods, can be moved into the press axis and back out of the press axis and of which at least the second loading shell (29) and, if required, the other loading shells can be displaced in the direction of the press axis, is to be able to load billets of different lengths, divided billets and billets together with a pressing disc reliably and without interruption by means of loading shells of sufficient width. This object is achieved according to the invention by virtue of the fact that the loading shells (28, 29) are designed like forks with mutually offset prongs and gaps and one loading shell (29) can be moved telescope-fashion with its prongs into the gap between the prongs of the other loading shell (28), allowing the loading shells (28, 29) to be moved together to a total width which is less than the width of the individual loading shells (28, 29) taken together. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Test carrier for analyzing a sample fluid with several test layers which form a sample fluid transport path and contain a reagent system which reacts with the sample fluid to produce a detectable signal. The test carrier includes a reservoir layer of absorbent material, a detection layer arranged in the fluid transport path downstream the reservoir layer, in which a detectable signal is formed, and a separating layer arranged between the reservoir layer and the detection layer. The separating layer makes a two-step process possible. Fluid contact between the reservoir layer and the detection layer arises only with pressure loading of the layer assembly of the reservoir layer, separating layer and detection layer. A more uniform optical detection signal, and consequently better accuracy, can be achieved because the separating layer is made up of a hydrophilic material, wich is in the form of a lattice-shaped structure, in which the mean width of the lattice openings is more than 0.05 mm, and the threads from which the lattice-shaped structure is formed are multi-filament.

IPC: G02B6/42

Abstract: The invention concerns an illumination system for moving sheets which are scanned by an imaging device. Because the moving sheets can flutter as they are scanned, their distance from the imaging device can change, thereby changing the amount of light captured by the imaging device. The invention reduces this change, and provides a method for selecting a distance at which the changes are minimal. The invention also provides the following features: (1) An apparatus for illuminating the sheet uniformly, thus reducing the possibility that naturally dark regions of the sheet may be interpreted as data. (2) A method of selecting an optimal angle of incidence for incoming light, in order to maximize contrast between the sheet and data marks. (3) A procedure for collecting maximal light from a lamp, using a fiber optic bundle which is of a fixed diameter. (4) A procedure for improving light capture or image contrast, based on measured values of document specularity, mark specularity, fiber optic numerical aperture, reflectance of the sheet, and diffusion coefficient of the sheet. (5) Fiber optic light projectors whose projecting ends are bevelled in a single facet, thereby increasing the angle of incidence, without changing position of the fibers. (6) A procedure for accommodating the image shift caused by glass plates which guide the moving sheets, and through which the imaging device must look. (7) A procedure for reducing cross-talk between two illuminator-imaging device assemblies, which image opposite sides of the same sheet.
