Abstract: A diffuser device (16) for incorporation in an inflatable restraint system includes a face member (52) with side walls (68A, 68B) which are joined by apertured channel portions (73A, 73B) to outer flanges (72A, 72B). The face member has apertures (70) for allowing a through flow of gas and baffles (85) connected to its under side. A thickened edge portion of an air bag can be clamped between the side walls and the flanges thus facilitating installation of the air bag/diffuser sub-assembly into a housing for accommodating an inflator. The invention also includes an air bag restraint system including a housing accommodating such a sub-assembly in which fasteners pass through the housing, an outer flange (72A, 72B) a thickened edge portion of an air bag and a side wall (68A, 68B) of the diffuser (16) to hold the system together and clamp the air bag in place.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and multiprocessor apparatus to convert an alphanumeric input into input to an application program as a text processing or word processing program. This is accomplished in a computer having relative motion and/or relative position sensing input capability and a content addressable memory including a comparand register, tag fields, data fields, and a match circuit. The method continuously determines when the relative motion and/or relative position sensing input is active. When the input is active the system senses a basic attribute motion and/or position of the active relative motion and/or relative position sensing input and defines a meta attribute of the sensed input. Exemplary meta attributes include the turns, weighted input center, and stroke geometry and topology. The meta-attribute is continuously updated and formed into an updated multi-bit input object attribute word of the sensed basic attributes and defined meta attributes of the sensed input for storage in the comparand register. This multi-bit word stored in the comparand register is compared to the recognition pattern tag field entries in the content addressable memory, and matches an output from the content addressable memory. This output is the contents of the content addressable memory data field having a recognition pattern tag field entry most closely corresponding to the multi-bit input object attribute word. Also disclosed is a multi-processor system for carrying out the method of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a point detecting device and a method for providing coordinate information which is indicated by a pointing device. This point detecting device is adapted for a large scaled system which is required to be operated at a low cost and at high accuracy. 
     The point detecting device transmits signals from both ends of the loop coil arrangement towards the pointing device, and/or receives at both ends the signals generated by the electromagnetic function between the loop coil arrangement and the pointing device. The errors owing to the variations caused in the signal level and phase in response to the propagation constant of the loop coil arrangement can be reduced by adding the received signal pair.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical recording apparatus for recording a pulse signal on a recording medium by using a laser light beam, wherein, as shown in Fig. 4, for example, a pattern detecting circuit is provided to detect a pulse pattern of a recording signal, and a pulse width of a succeeding signal pulse is shortened in accordance with a predetermined value when a pulse interval is not more than a predetermined value to thereby decrease a radiation energy of a laser light pulse, whereby the influence of remaining heat of the recording medium due to a laser light pulse corresponding to a preceding laser light pulse is cancelled to make it possible to record a high-density pulse signal accurately.

Abstract: Drying apparatus comprising a cylindrical drying vessel (4) the inner wall surface (2) of which constitutes a heat-transmitting surface, a heat-generating means (6) encircling the said vessel, and at least one rotary vane assembly (5) rotatably mounted in the vessel. The vane assembly has vane sections (5a) which leave between their circumferential edges and the said heat-transmitting surface an annular space (U) small enough to allow wet material to extend across it and contact the heat-transmitting surface without falling into said space. Each vane section extends obliquely upward in the direction opposite to the rotating direction, and the circumferential edge of each vane section extends through less than 360 degrees as viewed from above. All of the vane sections when rotating bear material on their upper surfaces to raise the material and enable it to be urged against the heat-transmitting surface under the influence of centrifugal force, thus causing it to continuously climb along the heat-transmitting surface for drying.

Abstract: the present invention provides a force transducer having high compression fracture strength and high detection sensitivity, thus satisfying both detection precision and reliability, and also a method of fabricating such a force transducer. The force transducer is so constructed that a compression force is transferred via a pressure transfer block to narrow strain gages, which protrude from the surface of a silicon substrate and provide a small pressure-bearing area. Therefore, large compression strains act on the strain gages and thus the detection sensitivity is increased. When the compression force exceeds a predetermined value, the pressure transfer block comes into contact with the surface of the silicon crystal, thus improving the fracture strength of the strain gages. These narrow, protruding strain gages can be fabricated easily by a single mesa etching process. <IMAGE>

Supervisory personnel select one or more DNIS numbers for evaluation via a supervisory terminal 108. A DNIS evaluator circuit 120 of the ACD 100 stores the selected DNIS numbers. When a DNIS incoming telephone call is received by the ACD 100, the DNIS evaluator circuit 120 collects the DNIS number transmitted with the call. The DNIS evaluator circuit 120 determines whether any of the selected DNIS numbers match the collected DNIS number. If one of the selected DNIS numbers matches the collected DNIS number, the supervisor is connected to the call, preferably in a nonintrusive manner.

Abstract: Audio data is processed from a packetized data stream carrying digital television information in a succession of fixed length transport packets. Some of the packets contain a presentation time stamp (PTS) indicative of a time for commencing the output of associated audio data. After the audio data stream has been acquired, the detected audio packets are monitored to locate subsequent PTS's for adjusting the timing at which audio data is output, thereby providing proper lip synchronization with associated video. Errors in the audio data are processed in a manner which attempts to maintain synchronization of the audio data stream while masking the errors. In the event that the synchronization condition cannot be maintained, for example in the presence of errors over more than one audio frame, the audio data stream is reacquired while the audio output is concealed. An error condition is signaled to the audio decoder by altering the audio synchronization word associated with the audio frame in which the error has occurred.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent (10) for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery, and a method for making it from a single length of tubing. The stent (10) consists of a plurality of radially expandable cylindrical elements (12) generally aligned on a common axis and interconnected by one or more interconnective elements (13). The individual radially expandable cylindrical elements (12) consist of ribbon-like material disposed in an undulating pattern. The stents (10) are made by coating a length of tubing (21) with an etchant-resistive material and then selectively removing portions of the coating to form a pattern for the stent (10) on the tubing (21) to expose the portions of the tubing to be removed. This may be done by machine-controlled activation and relative positioning of a laser (24) in conjunction with the coated tubing (21). After the patterning of the tubing (21), the stent (10) is formed by removing exposed portions of the tubing (21) by an etching process.
