Patent JP-4490585-B2 (JP)
IPC: G06F13/14
Filed: 1998-12-29
Granted: 2010-06-30
Abstract: A computer system maintains and updates a status register (102, 107) in response to signals containing status information received from several peripheral devices (110, 120, 130), and generates an interrupt to a processor (100). When the processor (100) sevices the interrupt, the processor (100) merely reads the status register (102) to determine which peripheral device requires processing. This is a very fast operation because the status register (102) is internal to the processor (100) or core logic (103). No time consuming polling of peripheral devices (110, 120, 130) is required to determine the status of the peripheral device.

Abstract: A battery sheath made of formed and cold-rolled sheet metal as well as a process for manufacturing the battery sheath are proposed. In the process, cold-rolled strip stock is provided on at least one side with a coating of Ni, Co, Fe, Sn, In, Pd, Bi or their alloys in an electroplating bath, e.g., a Watts-type bath. As an additional component, the electroplating bath contains electrically conductive particles such as carbon, carbon black, graphite, TiS2, TaS2, MoSi2. These particles are deposited on the base material during electroplating together with Ni, Co, Fe, Sn, In, Pd, Bi or their alloys. The sheet metal side with, for example, the carbon-containing electroplated coating faces preferably inwardly when the sheet is formed into a battery sheath. Batteries with battery sheaths produced in this manner exhibit reduced increase in internal resistance, even with prolonged storage, as compared to known batteries.

Abstract: A bulk-solid metering system has a support structure. A feed hopper is mounted with respect to the structure and has an upper edge. In the improvement, the structure includes an upper member and the upper edge is below such upper member. The structure defines a lateral opening sized and shaped to permit the feed hopper to be withdrawn laterally through the opening. The feed hopper includes a spout extending therefrom. In a highly preferred embodiment, the lateral opening is positioned to permit withdrawal of the feed hopper in a direction away from the spout. The feed hopper is configured to promote very good mass flow as well as to permit agitation in that, in one embodiment, it has a body made of flexible material. There is a hopper upper flange and the spout is spaced below such flange. The body has a first cross-sectional shape, e.g., circular, adjacent to the upper flange and has a second cross-sectional shape, e.g., ellipse-like, intermediate the upper flange and the spout.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for automatic recovery of sulfated lead acid batteries rely on monitoring battery voltage, current and internal resistance during battery charging. The lead acid battery is recovered for usage by measuring the internal resistance to see if it is so high such that the battery is unrecoverable, or so low such that the normal charging methods can be used. If the internal resistance is between the two limits, the battery receives a first constant charge current. As the lead acid battery is being charged slowly by a constant charge current, the battery voltage is measured. The decrease in the internal resistance (IR) of the battery causes the battery voltage to decrease during charging, while the charging causes the battery voltage to increase. According to the present invention, if it is detected that the battery voltage has reached the minimum voltage and begun to increase in a predetermined period of time, the charge current is substantially increased (e.g., doubled) because the capability of the lead acid battery to accept a higher charge current has increased. As the charge current is increased, the recovery and charging of the lead acid battery arc advantageously more expedient and efficient.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light emitter of high luminance which does not require high precision for positioning its light source and reflectors, is excellent in assembly workability, and is capable of effectively utilizing the light emitted from the light source, and to provide lighting fixtures using the same.  <P>SOLUTION: In this light emitter 1, an LED 4 as a light source has a reflecting plane 9, which faces a light-emitting element 6 and radiates the light in the side directions of the light-emitting element 6. As a consequence, the LED 4, having a single package, serves as a light source that radiates the light from a surface. In addition, reflecting planes can be arranged at arbitrary positions by distributing optical control planes in circumferential direction and radial directions from the light source. Therefore, the light emitter is thin type, has a high efficiency, and responds to various shapes without degrading the efficiency. Besides, when the length and the width are asymmetrical, the light distribution can be controlled only by a reflector plate 2 since the reflector plate 2 is so formed as to vary the range of the light reflecting angle depending on the direction.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Abstract: A guarantee closure having a closure body with a guarantee foil and a pour-out spout as well as a closure cap fitting onto the closure body. The pour-out spout is arranged on the closure body such that it may be pivoted up. The guarantee foil, by pivoting-up the pour-out spout into the pour-out position, is cut open and thus frees the passage to the pour-out spout. The closure body comprises a relief for receiving the guarantee foil and forms above the relief, by two shoulders arranged over one another and distanced from one another, a free space for receiving the lying pour-out spout. This is enclosed and held by a film-hinge material bridge which in the lying condition connects the two shoulders with a surface which seen from the outside is concave and on the upper side of the lying pour-out spout runs together to a point which defines the pivoting axis of the pour-out spout. On pivoting up the pour-out spout the film-hinge material bridge snaps into a permanent shape which is convex when viewed from the outside and thus holds the pour-out spout in the closure position.
