Abstract: The present invention is a method for normalizing a discourse representation structure (DRS). The elements of the structure are rewritten and sorted in a way such that structures which may appear different but are nonetheless equivalent can be associated with the same, normalized representation. The present invention can also include a data structure for a DRS. The DRS is represented by an array of boxes, each having a set of elements which in turn has a predefined structure suitable for representing a wide variety of linguistic information. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The coupling has elastomeric elements (4), each having two regions with different properties. The first region extends radially and held in pockets (3), and is more inherently stable than second region to transmit peripheral force. The second region faces projections (5) of a coupling section (2) and yields more than first region to introduce deformations into second region with effect of slight restoring force.  The coupling has two coupling sections (1,2) having multiple spaced-apart pockets arranged along an arc and projections, respectively. The elastomeric elements are held in the pockets, with the projections extending into coupling section (1) between two adjacent elastomeric elements.

Abstract: For detecting DC ground faults with low cost and high accuracy to ensure high safety, a zero-phase current transformer (ZCT) (41) measures a difference between DC currents flowing in plural DC power lines (39A, 39B) via a detecting core (44) and outputs a measured current signal. A temperature sensor (50) measures a temperature in the vicinity of the zero-phase current transformer (ZCT) (41) and outputs a measured temperature signal. A MPU (53) temperature-corrects the current difference corresponding to the measured current signal using the temperature corresponding to the measured temperature signal and, based on the temperature-corrected current difference, detects a ground fault caused on target conductive lines to be measure.

Abstract: The strip light source (1) is a LED with an elongated luminous region. The strip light lies along the X-axis with little beam divergence and fast light transmission (Fast Axis). Light from the LED (3) diverges in the Y-direction and is collimated by a first cylindrical lens (4). There is considerable beam refraction in the Y-axis (Slow Axis). The collimated light passes through two crossed cylindrical lenslet arrays (5) with their lenslets at 45 degrees to the X- and Y-axes. It produces beams which are parallel in the X-axis and divergent in the Y-axis. The beams pass through a cylindrical lenslet array (8) and a cylindrical lens (11) producing a collimated beam (12) which is focused by a spherical lens (29) onto the end of an optical fiber (30).

Abstract: 直列に接続された２つのトランジスタにおいて、設定動作（信号書き込み）の時には、そのうちの１つのトランジスタのソース・ドレイン間の電圧が非常に小さくなり、もう１つのトランジスタに対して、設定動作を行うようになる。そして、出力動作の時には、２つのトランジスタがマルチゲートのトランジスタとして動作するため、出力動作の時の電流値を小さくできる。逆にいうと、設定動作の時の電流を大きくすることが出来る。したがって、配線などに寄生する交差容量や配線抵抗の影響を受けにくくして、すばやく、設定動作が行うことが出来る。また、設定動作と出力動作とで、同一のトランジスタを１つ用いるため、隣接間ばらつきの影響も小さくなる。
