produce molten copper; a soaking furnace (B) for maintaining
a predetermined temperature of the molten copper supplied
from the melting furnace (A); a casting trough (C) for
sealing the molten copper supplied from the soaking furnace
(B) in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and for transferring the
molten copper to a turn-dish (5a); a degassing means
provided in the casting trough (C) for dehydrogenating the
molten copper passing therethrough; a continuous casting
machine (D) for continuously producing cast copper from the
molten copper supplied from the turn-dish (5a), and a

Abstract: An apparatus and method for screening combinatorial libraries of materials by
measuring the response of individual library members to mechanical perturbations is described.
The apparatus generally includes a sample holder for containing the library members, an array
of probes for mechanically perturbing individual library members, and an array of sensors for
measuring the response of each of the library members to the mechanical perturbations.
Library members undergoing screening make up a sample array, and individual library
members constitute elements of the sample array that are confined to specific locations on the
sample holder. During screening, the apparatus mechanically perturbs individual library
members by displacing the sample array (sample holder) and the array of probes. Typically, all
of the elements of the sample array are perturbed simultaneously, but the apparatus also can
also perturb individual or groups of sample array elements sequentially. The flexible apparatus
and method can screen libraries of materials based on many different bulk physical properties,
including Young's modulus (flexure, uniaxial extension, biaxial compression, and shear);
hardness (indentation), failure (stress and strain at failure, toughness), adhesion (tack, loop
tack), and flow (viscosity, melt flow indexing, and rheology), among others.

Abstract: An electronic expansion valve (EXV) used in a refrigeration cycle for a heat
pump or chiller is controlled to maintain minimum pinch for ensuring proper flooded
cooler exchange performance by monitoring the delta temperature between the cooler
fluid temperature (80) and the saturated suction temperature (70). The discharge superheat (70) is monitored to
protect the compressor (20) from liquid slugging. If the discharge superheat (70) is lower than
the expected value, the EXV opening is adjusted. A controller (15) monitors certain
system variables which are used to determine the optimal position of the EXV to
optimize the system performance, the proper discharge superheat value, and the
appropriate refrigerant charge.

Abstract: A technique is described for detecting defects such as short circuits in a device such as
a discrete pixel detector (50) used in a digital x-ray system. The technique employs
test circuits associated with each row driver (46) of the detector. The test circuits are
enabled by a test enable input signal, and the row driver sequentially enables the rows
of the detector, along with the individual test circuits. In a test sequence, output
signals from the row test circuits are monitored to identify whether a defect, such as a
short circuit, is likely to exist in the row or row driver. The test circuitry adds only
minimal area and complexity to the row driver function, providing a high degree of
test coverage at a low cost, with minimal likelihood of test circuitry-induced failures.

Abstract: The invention seeks to provide an electro-optical device capable of performing high-quality
and high-definition gray-scale display, which can be driven with a low power
consumption, and to provide a driving method therefor and an electronic apparatus using
the electro-optical device. An electro-optical device according to the present invention
includes a plurality of pixels. Each pixel includes a pixel electrode, a memory that
stores gray-scale data, and a pulse duration control circuit that applies, to the pixel, a
voltage that turns on the pixel or a voltage that turns off the pixel with a time density in
accordance with the gray-scale data written to the memory. According to the electro-optical
device, by turning on or off each pixel, gray-scale display can be performed by
effective value control. From among a plurality of pixels, it is only necessary to write
gray-scale data to the memory of a pixel whose gray-scale data written to the memory
thereof needs to be changed. Thus, display can be performed with a low power
consumption.

Abstract: The invention relates to articles of manufacture, such as for example, tires and
industrial products, which have at least one component comprised of a rubber
composition which contains particles of pre-sulfur vulcanized rubber (e.g. ground
recycled rubber) and impure tetrathiodipropionic acid, namely a blend comprised
primarily of tetrathiodipropionic acid and trithiodipropionic acids of a weight ratio
thereof in a range of about 80/20 to about 30/70. Said blend is referred to herein as an
S4/S3 blend. The S4/S3 blend may be introduced directly to a rubber composition or
may be provided as particles of a composite of said S4/S3 and a particulate support
therefor for a purpose of aiding the dispersion of the S4 and S3 within the elastomer
host. Representative of such support, or carrier, may be, for example, silica,
particularly amorphous precipitated silica, carbon black, clay, starch, calcium
carbonate, calcium silicate, titanium dioxide and the like, wherein carbon black is
preferred. It is considered herein that an advantageous nature of the invention is to
provide such an S4/S3 blend, for example, in a manner to somewhat depress the
melting point of the trithiodipropionic acid and therefore promote its processability and
incorporation with particles of pre-vulcanized rubber without substantially degrading
any beneficial effect thereof. Thus, the invention is intended to be exclusive of use of
100 percent pure tetrathiodipropionic acid and exclusive of relatively high purity
trithiodipropionic acid which contains at least 80 percent trithiodipropionic acid.

Abstract: The optimum predictive image is selected as follows
for the entire area of an image sequence comprising a
luminance signal expressing each pixel value, and a transmit-tance
signal expressing the transparency of each pixel value,
and described by the transmittance signal of the target image
to be coded as the area to be coded. The target image to be
coded is predicted from at least one template typical of the
image sequence, thereby generating a first predictive image.
The target image to be coded is also predicted from the image
displayed chronologically before the target image, thereby
generating a second predictive image. It is then determined
whether the first or the second predictive image has the least
difference to the target image to be coded, and the predictive
image with the least difference is selected as the optimum
predictive image.
