Abstract: A system for stopping the operation of a data processing system executing control words stored in a read/write control word storage device (2). A special control word is stored at the control storage address where it is desired to stop operation of the processor and the regular control word at that address is stored in a service processor memory (40). When the control storage address containing the special control word is reached, the special control word causes the system clock to be inhibited, thereby stopping the execution of control words, an indication that the processor has been stopped is generated, and the regular control word is restored to the control word storage device from the service processor memory for resumption of system operation.

Abstract: An hereto junction bipolar transistor which features a trapezoidal overhang emitter. In addition to the emitter-­base junction (12) being the designed area, the overhang (13) permits a vertical impurity introduction operation via ion implantation to convert adjacent regions (14, 15) of the base layer (5) to high conductivity, shown as P+, to a location (16) proximate to but separated by about 0.2 microns from the emitter-base junction (12). Advantages achieved with this trapezoidal overhang emitter are that a sharp ledge (18) is provided by the trapezoidal shape which serves in future lift-off metallization operations to provide a clear separation and that the height of the emitter which is used in subsequent planarization opera­tions is established by the simple and controllable thick­ness of a layer.

Abstract: The apparatus (20) includes electrically conductive contacts (44, 54) that are spaced apart a distance slightly less than the distance between the terminals (34, 36) formed on the components (24) to be tested. One contact (54) is held in position by a spring (112). The other contact (44) is stationary. The contacts (44, 54) slide against the terminal surfaces (52, 56) of the components (24) that are conveyed into a test location (26) between the contacts. The apparatus employs few moving parts and the sliding motion of the contacts (44, 54) against the terminal surfaces (52, 56) ensures that the contacts (44, 54) penetrate any oxide layer present on the terminal surfaces (52, 56). In an alternative embodiment (160), two sets of contacts (44L, 44T, 54L, 54T) are employed for testing components (24) in two adjacent test locations (26L, 26T). One configuration of a movable contact (304) is such that minimal force is applied to the terminal surfaces (52, 56) of the components (24) so that the components may be tested without marking or damaging the surfaces (52, 56).

Abstract: A transaxle having five forward speeds and reverse includes a shift shaft (44) on which are journalled for free rotation four forward speed change gears (58-64) and an input bevel gear (72) which is integrally conjoined with a first speed change gear (66). A reverse gear (68) is also journalled for free rotation on the shift shaft and a neutral spacer (132) is disposed between reverse gear and the four forward gears. A counter shaft (46) carries five companion spur gears (48-56) in constant running mesh with the forward speed change gears. One of the companion gears (48) is also in constant running mesh with a reverse intermediate gear (70) which is in constant running mesh with the reverse gear. The reverse intermediate gear is supported by a half-bearing (132) in the transaxle housing. A pair of axially slidable and radially outward biased shift keys (78, 80) on the shift shaft selectively couple the forward speed change gears, the input bevel gear, and the reverse gear to the shift shaft. High gear is provided by coupling the bevel gear directly to the shift shaft and bypassing the counter shaft. A differential (112) driven by a spur gear on the shift shaft drives the output drive shafts of the transaxle.

Abstract: A series of 90° RF pulses (50) are applied, each in the presence of a slab or slice select gradient (52) to excite nuclear magnetic spins in the selected slab. The spins are phase encoded (56). A preliminary read gradlent (60) of one polarity and a primary read gradlent (62) of the opposite polarity are applied to induce a gradient echo (64) during the primary read gradient. After the primary read gradlent, a residual magnetization dephasing gradient pulse (66, 66′) is applied, with an alternating polarity from cycle to cycle. The residual magnetization dephasing pulse has an area defined by the product of its duration and amplitude which is selected relative to the area of the preliminary and primary read gradient pulses such that the residual magnetization does not refocus during collection of the gradient echo data in later cycles.

Abstract: It is often desirable to increase the modulus of rubbers utilized in a wide variety of applications. This invention discloses a technique for modifying rubbers to improve their modulus without sacrificing other properties. By utilizing the process of this invention, rubber compositions having increased modulus are prepared by grafting polyester onto rubber. This can be accomplished by reacting a polydiene rubber with a thioacid or maleic anhydride and subsequently with the polyester. It is also possible to prepare such polyester modified rubber compositions by reacting an epoxidized rubber with the polyester.
