Abstract: A scroll type compressor is employed in a heat pump system having a
solenoid actuated four way flow reversing valve. A processor monitors a system
parameter that is indicative that a flow reversal has taken place or is about to take
place, at which time the compressor motor is shut down for a predetermined period
of time during which the compressor produces objectionable noise produced by
separation of the scroll element due to a low pressure differential over the
compressor. At the end of the period, the compressor motor is reenergized. The
processor is arranged to cycle the compressor at the beginning and end of each
defrost cycle or when the system undergoes a change in its operational mode.

Abstract: A system (10, 10') for determining spatial position and/or orientation of one or more objects (18, 18', 22, 22') includes an optical subsystem (14, 14') and a non-optical subsystem, (12, 12'). The optical subsystem includes optical subsystem light sources (16a, 16b, 16c; 16a', 16b', 16c') mounted to one or more of the objects and an optical subsystem sensor (20, 20') adapted to detect energy from the optical subsystem light sources. The optical subsystem has an optical subsystem coordinate system (XO, YO, ZO) in a fixed relationship with the optical subsystem sensor. The optical subsystem sensor produces position and/or orientation signals relative to the optical subsystem coordinate system in response to optical subsystem light source detected energy. The non-optical subsystem has a non-optical coordinate system (XM, YM, ZM; XA, YA, ZA) and is adapted to produce position and/or orientation signals of one or more of the objects (22, 22') relative to the non-optical subsystem coordinate system. A coupling arrangement (24, 24'; 34, 34') is provided for producing position and/or orientation signals indicative of the position and/or orientation of the selected one of the optical or non-optical subsystems relative to the coordinate system of the other one of the optical or non-optical subsystems. A processor (26, 26') is responsive to signals produced by the coupling arrangement and the individual subsystem sensors for determining the position and/or orientation of one or more of the objects relative to some conveniently defined coordinate system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There is provided a production line having a plurality of
mounting apparatus (1, 2, 3) of electronic components in
which the overall production efficiency is sustained by an
alternation scheme when a mounting apparatus (1, 2, 3) has a
long cycle time due to a high malfunction rate. At a predetermined
timing, the rate of unsuccessful pick-up procedure
for an electronic component is compared to a predetermined
value. If the rate is higher than the value, CPU (10) finds
out if the mounting apparatus (2), or (3) is available as an
alternate. When the alternate is the apparatus (2), CPU (10)
changes the command parameter of the particular mounting procedure,
stored in RAM (12), from "M" to "S", and stops mounting
the same component. In the mean time, the mounting apparatus
(2) accepts the alternate request from the apparatus
(1), changes the command parameter as required, and mounts
the same component on a print circuit board.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluidtight zip fastener, having a pair of fluidtight
zip fastener carrying tapes (2, 3) in each case comprising a base tape (6) with a
soft covering layer of elastomer, thermoplastic or the like covering at least one
surface thereof and to which is in each case sewn a continuous coupling member
row (4, 5) in such a way that the facing borders (9) of the soft covering layers are
in contact with one another. When the coupling member rows (4, 5) are disengaged
said borders (9) are projecting to such an extent that when the coupling member rows
(4, 5) are engaged they are bent away from that side which carries the coupling member
rows and extend roughly at right angles to the principal plane of the zip fastener. 
The soft covering layers of the facing borders (9) of the two zip fastener carrying tapes (2, 3)
projecting over the base tape (6) engage with one another in fluidtight manner under
pressure action. The zip fastener slider (10) which in the case of longitudinal displacement
transfers the zip fastener carrying tapes into the open and closed position, has a guide
border (14) shaped in the central area of the slider wedge and extending roughly parallel
between the upper plate (12) and the lower plate (11). For increasing the sealing action
of the zip fastener in the slider end position, the interconnected two ends of the zip fastener
carrying tapes are provided with a dimensionally more confined and consequently an
overpressing-ensuring elastomer guiding the slider over its guide border (14) shaped onto
the slide wedge (13).

Abstract: A heat transmission retardant member 140 which is a
cylinder-shaped resin tube made of nylon or polyacetals is
mounted between an adsorbent 40 and an inner wall of a hollow
portion of a heat-sensing driven member 100 with a space 140'
between said inner wall. The hollow portion of said heat-sensing
driven member 100 includes said adsorbent 40, said heat
transmission retardant member 140 made of resin, and said space
140'. Said heat transmission retardant member 140 comprises
plural protrusions, and by positioning said protrusions to
contact said inner wall, said space 140' is formed. Since said
space 140' is formed between said inner wall of the hollow
portion of said heat-sensing driven member 100 and said heat
transmission retardant member 140, not only is the heat
transmission to the granular activated carbon delayed by the
heat transmission retardant member, but said space also
effectively delays the transmission of the temperature
variation of the refrigerant to the heat transmission retardant
member. Thus, hunting of the valve is even further effectively
suppressed.
