Abstract: In a traverse device mounting type or handy type fluid
measuring probe in which a plurality of conductive lines (2) are
connected to a contact type sensor element and the conductive
lines are covered by a support member (3), or a test member
attachment type fluid measuring probe, a fluid measuring probe
is provided in which when the probe head (4) or the support member (3)
is brought into contact with other things, an impact force is
moderated and a damage of the probe head and the support
member is suppressed. When a pressure that is not less than a
predetermined pressure is applied to the support member in a
direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the
support member, the support member may be bent; when the
pressure is released, the support member may be restored; and
when the pressure that is not less than the predetermined
pressure is not applied, the support member may maintain a
predetermined posture.

Abstract: A method and a system prevent starting-up problems in
plural magnetic disk storage devices included in a disk array
system during restart following halt after long term operation.
The disk array system includes a microprocessor unit
(MPU) which controls the magnetic disk storage devices, a
control memory, a parity calculator, and a cache memory. The
control memory contains an operation time control table in
which a tolerable continuous operation time Ti and a halt
time Ts are stored. Each of the magnetic disk storage devices
is intentionally stopped individually for the halt time Ts at
time intervals of the tolerable continuous operation time Ti.
A request for reading data from a magnetic disk storage
device under halt is responded to by using a data recovery
function, while a request for writing data to a magnetic disk
storage device under halt is responded to by writing data to
an alternate spare magnetic disk storage device or memory.

Abstract: Improved method for applying coatings, generally known as "metallized"
surface finishes, on to component parts adapted to be used as decorative or
aesthetical parts on outer surfaces of transportation means, such as radiator grilles
for motor cars. A prior-art process calls for, after the application of
corrosion-inhibiting metal layers, the application,. again by a galvanic process, of a
metal layer adapted to impart the desired combination of colour and brightness,
such as for instance a so-called "gun barrel" finish. The present invention provides
for the addition of a galvanic chromium-plating phase followed by a phase in which
the part is held at a temperature not in excess of 30°C for at least 24 hours, and
then by a further phase in which the same chromium layer is removed and the
more external layer of corrosion-inhibiting metal is activated in a traditional
manner.

Abstract: A projection optical system and an electron optical
system are mounted in a vacuum chamber in a side-by-side
relationship to each other. An interferometer system
controls the position of a substrate stage such that each of
the projection optical system and the electron optical
system can expose a radiation-sensitive substrate placed on
the substrate stage. Therefore, combined exposure can be
performed by using light and an electron beam in the same
system. For example, the greater part of a predetermined
pattern is formed on a radiation-sensitive substrate by
exposure using light, and particularly fine pattern elements
are formed by exposure using an electron beam. 
Alternatively, a pattern is formed on a radiation-sensitive
substrate by exposure using light, and then exposure is
carried out by using an electron beam to correct the pattern
formed by the exposure using light.

Abstract: The invention is related digital speech encoding. In a
speech codec according to the invention, for modelling a
speech signal (301) both prediction parameters (321, 322,
331) modelling a speech signal in a short term and
prediction parameters (341, 342, 351) modelling a speech
signal in a long term are used. Each prediction parameter
(321, 322, 331, 341, 342, 351) is presented using a
certain accuracy, in a digital system with a certain number
of bits. In speech encoding according to the invention the
number of bits used for presenting prediction parameters
(321, 322, 331, 341, 342, 351) is adjusted based upon
information parameters (321, 322, 331, 341, 342, 351)
obtained from a short-term LPC-analysis (32) and from a
long-term LTP -analysis (31, 34, 35). The invention is
particularly suitable for use at low data transfer speeds,
because it offers a speech encoding method of even
quality and low average bit rate.

Abstract: A device for separating whole blood into blood components having a collecting container for collecting whole blood, a primary container, and one or a plurality of satellite containers downstream from the primary container. The collecting container is connected to the primary container via a branch line containing a leucocyte filter. In addition, provision is made for a bypass line between the collecting container and the primary container for creating a fluid connection, circumventing the filter. The primary container is, furthermore, connected, via an additive line, to an additive container containing an additive agent for storing a blood component. For extracting leucocyte-free erythrocyte concentrate, the donor's whole blood, collected in the collecting container is first conveyed, via the bypass line into the primary container. The whole blood located in the primary container is then separated by centrifuging into an erythrocyte layer and a mixed layer of blood plasma and thrombocytes. The mixed layer of blood plasma and thrombocytes is then conveyed from the primary container into the first satellite container. Subsequently, the erythrocytes resuspended in the additive agent are conveyed from the primary container, via the line path which contains the leucocyte filter, into the collecting chamber.

Abstract: A disk array controller enables a consistent, coherent memory image of the data storage space to all processors across hot-plug interfaces. To external processes seeking to read or write data, the memory image looks the same across the hot-plug interfaces. The disk array controller has two identical controllers (54a, 54b), each with its own non-volatile memory (62a, 62b), to maintain redundant images of disk array storage space. A hot-plug interface (64) interconnects the two controllers. Each controller has an AutoRAID memory transaction manager (82a, 82b) that enables sharing of CRC-protected memory transactions over the hot-plug interface between the two controllers. The AutoRAID memory transaction managers also facilitate ordered execution of the memory transactions regardless of which controller originated the transactions. Mirrored read and write transactions are handled atomically across the hot-plug interface.

the duration of the minimum size event to exceed the

altering the frame check sequence. Code implementing
the media access control layer and reconciliation layer
at the transmitting and receiving end of the network is
modified such that at 1 Gb/sec. half-duplex, non-data
symbols are appended to the end of short packet frames.
The collision window is extended to include these symbols,
which extension symbols are also included in fragment
discard calculations. The extension is removed,
however, before checking the frame check sequence, and
before passing the frame to logical link and control. In
a switched environment, the extension is not propagated
