Abstract: An ultrasound system comprising a transducer array and means for energising each element, or batches of elements, of the array in turn to generate an ultra sound pulse, means for processing an echo pulse received by each transducer, and control means for controlling the order in which a transducer or transducers are energised and the order in which a transducer or transducers receive an echo pulse, characterised in that the echoes resulting from the transmission of an ultrasonic pulse from any one transducer element are received by at least one other transducer element. There is also the feature that data from the array is digitised and procesed in a pipeline, the latter having means to divert/extract data from the pipeline and reintroduce it into the pipeline to enable images to be displayed retrospectively. There is also the feature that the ring down problem is overcome by the steps of generating a reference scan and updating it on the basis of a long term running average and then subtracting that running average from the current A-scan to remove the ring down.

Abstract: An aqueous polymerization method is disclosed for forming polymers containing, as 
polymerized units, at least one monomer having low water solubility, including the steps of: 
   (1) complexing at least one monomer having low water solubility with a macromolecular 
organic compound having a hydrophobic cavity; and    (2) polymerizing in an aqueous system from about 0.1% to about 100%, by weight of the 
monomer component, based on the total weight of the polymer, of the complexed 
monomer having low water solubility with from about 0% to about 99.9% by weight, 
based on the total weight of the polymer, of at least one monomer having high water 
solubility.     
     The method is also useful for forming aqueous solution polymers having low water solubility.  
     The method is useful for polymerizing, in an aqueous system, aqueous solution polymers or 
emulsion polymers, particularly random copolymers, of monomer having a low water 
solubility which heretofore could not be made satisfactorily without the addition of an organic 
solvent, comonomer or a high level of surfactant to aid in solubilizing the monomer having 
low water solubility. The method is also useful for improving the efficiency of chain transfer 
agents having low water solubility used in aqueous solution and emulsion polymerizations.

Abstract: In the field of fluid power control systems, it is known to provide open centre control valves in a tandem or cascade relationship, whereby to minimise the number of pumps in an installation. However, this arrangement has the disadvantage of preventing some functions controlled by the control system from operating simultaneously, since the tandem or cascade connections inherently assign an order of priority of supply of fluid to different actuators. 
     The disclosure relates to a fluid power control system for use in eg. a mini-excavator, in which a first control section (S2) includes first and second control valves respectively connectable to first (2) and second (4) implement functions; and in tandem with one another. A first source of working fluid under pressure, eg. a gear pump (P2) supplies the actuator connected principally to the first implement (2); and a second source of working fluid under pressure (gear pump P3) supplies working fluid to the interconnection between the first and second control valves. 
     The advantage of this arrangement is that, as the first control valve switches from its neutral position to a position selecting its associated implement (2), progressively more of the fluid passing through the second control valve is supplied by the second source (P3) until, when the implement (2) to which the first control valve is principally connected is fully selected, the two implements (2,4) are supplied separately by the respective gear pumps (P2,P3).

Abstract: A control system for an internal combustion engine (1) corrects an amount of supply fuel to the engine (1) based upon operating conditions of the engine (1) as well as an estimated amount of adherent fuel adhering to the inner surface of the intake pasage (2) and an estimated amount of fuel carried off from fuel adhering to the intake passage (2) inner surface and carried into combustion chambers. When it is detected that the engine is in the idling condition, the adherent fuel amount and the carried-off fuel amount are estimated based solely upon a temperature of the engine, especially, by the use of an estimating method (equation and maps) which is different from an estimating method used when it is detected that the engine is operating in an operating condition other than the idling condition. This avoids the fuel amount supplied to the engine fluctuating due to variations in the intake pipe pressure, etc., and thereby achieves stable fuel supply control even when the engine is idling.

Abstract: Before analysis, the correspondence between the vessel positions and the reaction vessels held in the vessel positions respectively at the time of completion of all the operations of a turntable upon completion of the last analysis are stored in a computer in advance. When a start switch is turned on, a judgment is made as to whether the correspondences between the vessel positions and the reaction vessels coincide with those stored in the computer or not. In the case of coincidence, reaction vessels in vessel positions are regarded as having been already cleaned, so that these reaction vessels are subjected to blank measurement and sample distribution in the case of optical measurement whereas these reaction vessels are directly subjected to sample distribution in the case of ISE measurement.

Abstract: An integrated circuit having a normal operating mode and a special operating mode, such as a special test mode, is disclosed. The special test mode is enabled by a series of signals, such as overvoltage excursions at a terminal, rather than by a single such excursion, so that it is less likely that the special test mode is entered inadvertently, such as due to noise or power-down and power-up of the device. The circuit for enabling the test mode includes a series of D-type flip-flops, each of which are clocked upon detection of the overvoltage condition together with a particular logic level applied at another terminal; multiple series of flip-flops may be provided for multiple special test modes. Additional features include the provision of a power-on reset circuit which locks out the entry into the test mode during power-up of the device. Acknowledgment of the entry into test mode is provided by the presentation of a low impedance at output terminals while the device is not enabled; chip enable of the device causes the device to exit the test mode. Once in test mode, the output enable terminal of the device can provide a chip enable function.

Abstract: The cabinet has profiled guide rails (12), secured to its walls, which receive hollow profile runners (26) that are open on their bottom side and are secured to either the undersides of a drawer or to the drawer's sides close to its base. Rollers are held together in a frame inside the runners to allow them to move along the rails. The end section (30) of the runner next to the cabinet's back wall can swing round to lie parallel to it. Cooperating parts in the rails and runners ensure that the runners are swung round into a this position as they are pushed further into the cabinet. One end of a swing lever (32) is secured to the end of the guide rail next to the back wall, and this lever is used to swing the rail about an axis (a) parallel to the swing axis (A) of the runner. The opposite end of the lever has a slot (36) which receives a pin (34) which juts out from the end of the runner when the drawer has been pushed all the way in. Thus lets the lever be swung round so that the runner lies parallel to the back wall. The drawers then lie in a horizontal or vertical direction perpendicular to the direction in which they lie when pulled out.

Abstract: A solid area and edges are detected from original data to be printed. An arbitrary raster of the solid area is shifted by a unit of dot-to-dot distance corresponding to a resolution having twice the dot density of the resolution of the original data, while preserving the data representing the edges so that the edges remain unchanged. Printing is performed on the basis of the above shifted data. The shifting of the dot data prevents the generation of mist and makes it possible to print a high-quality image at a high speed. Thus, the invention provides a printing method and apparatus capable of forming a high-quality image at a high speed.
