Abstract: In an improved washer-dryer apparatus which performs
wash, spin-dry and dry cycles in a sequential order, a
microcomputer used therefor controls a motor to repeatedly
rotate in forward and backward directions at short time
intervals after the spin-dry cycle, thereby performing a
loosening cycle once or more times in which laundry stuck
to the interior peripheral wall surface of the spin basket
is uniformly distributed or dispersed in the basket. This
is followed by the dry cycle. Thus, the heated air is
conducted all over the laundry in the spin basket, making
it possible to uniformly dry the laundry and to prevent it
from becoming wrinkled.

Abstract: A system and method automatically configures protocol layer
parameters in terminal and carrier equipment. The system includes a
terminal equipment (110) having an automatic configuration program (140). The
automatic configuration program controls the operation of the terminal
equipment and sends a series of probe (305) to the carrier equipment (120). Each probe is
constructed to test a specific parameter value, and to restrict a set of potential
values for the parameter. The automatic configuration program receives
answers back (307) from the carrier equipment, which may accept or reject, or not
respond to the probe. Based on the the probe, any previous probes, the
answer, any previous answers, and the set of values for the parameter, the
automatic configuration program constructs another probe in accordance
with another value of the parameter. This other value is determined by
restricting the set of potential values that may be used to configure the
parameter. The automatic configuration program thus, tests a plurality of
the applicable parameter values for a parameter and iteratively narrows the
set of potential values until the parameter value is established, or some error
condition is encountered the prevent configuration of the parameter. This
process is repeated for additional parameters, and then successive protocol
layers.

Abstract: A band splitter 3 makes predetermined frequency
band splitting and computes each sub-band spectral
coefficient for the cut out speech siganl.
Analyzers 5 and 7 each computes a spectral
coefficient vector of each sub-band. Adders 15 and
17 each obtain a result e(i) of subtraction of each
sub-band predicted spectral coefficient vector s_(i)
computed in the band splitter 13 from a spectral
coefficient vector s(i). A quantizer 19 quantizes
the result e(i) of subtraction for the full band,
thus outputting a quantized prediction error vector
e_(i) from output terminals 21 and 22. A full-band
quantized vector E_(i) is generated by combining the
quantized prediction error vectors c_(i) of all the
sub-bands. A synthesizer 9 outputs a full-band
spectral coefficient vector S_(i) by combining the
spectral coefficient vectors s(i) of all the
sub-bands received from each of the analyzers 5 and
7. An optimum prediction circuit 11 computes a
full-band predicted spectral coefficient vector
S^(i) from the full-band quantized vector E_(i)
received from the quantizer 19 and the full-band
predicted spectral coefficient vector S_(i). A band
splitter 13 band splits the full-band predicted
spectral coefficient vector S^(i), and computes each
sub-band predicted spectral coefficient vector
s_(i).

Brennluft von einem mittels eines Elektromotors (10) betätigbaren Brennluftgebläses (11) zugeführt

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß im Abgasstrom des Brenners mittels eines Sensors die

für eine bestimmte Leistungsstufe optimalen Wert eingestellt wird. In einer anschließenden
Ansteuer-Taktpause des Elektromotors wird dessen elektromotorische Kraft (EMK) gemessen

Steuergerätes festgehalten. Dadurch, daß ein Steuergerät die an einem optimalen
Betriebspunkt (CO 2 -Wert) erzeugte EMK eines ihm zugeordneten
Gebläsemotors "lernt", werden Streuungen in der Motorleistung und in den Lagerreibwerten zuverlässig kompensiert.

Abstract: The invention provides a semiconductor light emitting
device whose operating voltage can be easily reduced, a
method of producing the same, and an optical device. An
n-type clad layer, a first guide layer, an active layer, a
second guide layer, a p-type clad layer, a first
semiconductor layer, and a second semiconductor layer of
ZnSe are successively grown on an n-type substrate. An
alkali compound layer of Na 2 Se is then formed thereon.
Subsequently, a heat treatment is performed by means of
irradiation of an excimer laser beam so that at least a
part of the second semiconductor layer and at least a part
of the alkali compound layer are altered thereby forming a
contact layer. Furthermore, a p-side electrode is formed
on the contact layer. The contact layer contains an alkali
metal serving as a p-type impurity so that the contact
layer has a low electric resistance thereby achieving a
reduction in the operating voltage and thus a reduction in
the operating power. As a result of the reduction in the
operating power, the device life is improved.

Abstract: Apparatus for supporting virtual address aliasing is
disclosed in which addresses to a virtual cache are first
intercepted. It is determined whether the these addresses
are aliased,  i.e. , more than one virtual address exists for
the same location in memory. If not aliased, the addresses
are simply passed to the virtual cache. In the case where
there is aliasing, however, dealiasing is performed. New
addresses are generated and passed to the virtual cache so
that the aliased addresses are directed to the same
locations in the virtual cache. In this way, an operating
system can be supported that uses virtual address aliasing
since the CPU can transparently issue aliased virtual
addresses. These addresses, however, are directed to the
same locations in the virtual cache so that the addresses
are not aliased from the perspective of the cache, thus
avoiding the need for other hardware to compensate for the
aliasing. The modification, however, does not
substantially impact latency. The invention is most useful
in situations in which the operating system merely requires
the potential for aliasing between active processes.
