Abstract: An ECL buffer circuit includes an input portion for receiving an input signal at an ECL level, a current switch portion and an output portion. The input portion includes a bipolar transistor (Q1), a level-shift diode (D1) and a constant current source (CS1). The current switch portion includes a first and a second switch circuits and a constant current source (CS2). Each switch circuit includes a resistor (R1, R2) and a bipolar transistor (Q2, Q3). The output portion includes a first and a second output circuits and a constant current source (CS3). Each output circuit includes an emitter follower transistor (Q4, Q5) and a bipolar transistor (Q6, Q7). The first output circuit receives an input signal from the input portion, and the second output circuit receives a reference voltage (V BB ). A by-pass resistor (R3, R4) is connected between the base and the emitter of an emitter follower transistor (Q4, Q5) of each output circuit. When the output signal changes from a second level to a first level, the output signal thereby rapidly changes to a predetermined voltage by the emitter follower transistor (Q4, Q5) at first, then changes to a first level by way of the by-pass operation of the by-pass resistor (R3, R4).

Abstract: A washing machine for effectively washing a floorcloth, a mop or the like article (21) is disclosed. A housing (1) of the washing machine includes a washing chamber in which at least one rotary washer (8) is arranged. A plurality of flat beating blades each having excellent flexibility are mounted around a rotational shaft (45) of the rotary washer (8) in the axial direction of the same in parallel with each other while extending in the radial direction. As an article (21) to be washed is conveyed on a conveyor (7), it is first immersed in a bath of washing water and then reaches the rotary washer (8) so that the article (21) to be washed is repeatedly beaten by the foremost end parts of the beating blades (9) as the rotary washer (8) is rotationally driven by a motor (10). While a washing operation is performed, dirty water is splashed away from the washing article (21) and at the same time foreign matters such as dust or the like on the surface of the washing article (21) are removed therefrom. To enhance a washing effect, each of the beating blades (9) is molded of rubber or thermoplastic elastomer having excellent wear resistance. Alternatively, the beating blade (9) may be made of a leaf spring (50) with a beating piece (51) attached to the part of the beating blade (9) adapted to come in contact with the washing article (21). In addition, to enhance a washing effect remarkably, the part of the beating blade (9) adapted to come in contact with the washing article (21) is formed with a number of small projections (48). One surface of the beating blade (9) may be laminated with a film of plastic to improve a property of wear resistance of the beating blade (9).

Abstract: An optical arrangement for a helmet-mounted display for providing binocular presentation to a pilot from a single display source of for superimposing the images from two display sources on his helmet-mounted display. 
     In one embodiment a single display source 1 provides an image which is alternately directed between left and right eyes of the pilot by means of one scanning mirror 4 and two fixed mirrors 5a and 5b. An iris 3 opens and closes in synchronism with the movement of the scanning mirror 4 in order to prevent image distortion. Because only one display source is required, the weight of the arrangement is kept to a minimum. 
     In another embodiment, using similar core elements the images from two display sources are alternately projected on to the pilot's visor by means of similar fixed mirrors 5a and 5b and a scanning mirror 4, but using two iris' and synchronised to the mirror movements one in each optical path from display source to fixed mirror 5a (or 5b).

Abstract: 2.1. The supply of high-performance packaging machines with web-shaped wound packaging material (reels) and/or prefabricated blanks has hitherto necessitated a considerable amount of manual labour. The sometimes appreciable deadweight of the packaging material primarily has an adverse effect here. 2.2. In order to allow a virtually fully automatic feeding of the packaging machines with packaging material, a conveyor track (31) leading to the individual consumption points on the packaging machines is arranged above the packaging machines ("overhead"). Individual reels (26, 27, 28) or blanks (82) stacked in cassettes (84) are respectively transported along this conveyor track (31) by means of material conveyors (41). These are equipped with respective material holders (44) which consist solely of rigid immovable supporting members for the reels or cassettes (84). The feed and unloading of these material holders (44) take place automatically as a result of a corresponding relative movement of feeding and unloading members. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a state estimating apparatus, an input space quantization section quantizes an input space according to a required precision of output data. A storage section calculates and stores as a causal relationship model the number of times of occurrence of output data corresponding to each input event in the quantized input space, and the mean values of the output data and the change amounts of the output data. Based on continuous mapping of a topology, a neighborhood definition (or pre-processing) section calculates an input space neighborhood satisfying the required precision of the output, as a statistical amount of all input data of the case data and expresses the neighborhood as a quantization number. A similar case extraction section zooms up the predetermined neighborhood of the input space to the predetermined degree and extracts input case similar to the neighborhood from input case in the input space. A similarity determination section determines the similarity between the new input event and the extracted similar input cases on the basis of the degree of zooming. An estimating section selects input cases corresponding to the similarity from the similar input case, and estimates a value of output data corresponding to the new input event on the basis of the mean value of output data and the mean value of change amounts of the output data.

Abstract: The invention proposes a skirting which is made up of a supporting angle and of an angle-shaped termination profile. The supporting angle is an angle profile having two legs which run at right angles with respect to each other and of which the first can be fastened, as a fastening leg, on a structure wall and the other then juts out, as supporting leg, at right angles from the structure wall. The termination profile is also a profile having two legs which run at right angles with respect to each other and of which one forms a comparatively narrow retaining flange and the other, if used as intended, forms a bearing leg bearing on the supporting leg of the supporting angle. The termination profile is secured on the supporting angle by means of special securing parts which have a leg which engages over the bearing-leg edge remote from the retaining flange and is provided with latching contours which interact in a positively locking manner with latching contours arranged on the bearing leg or on the edge thereof. <IMAGE>
