Abstract: A customizable circuit using a programmable interconnect and a compatible TAB chip bonding design. The programmable interconnect comprises layers of wire segments forming programmable junctions rather than continuous wires. This segmentation is performed with an offset from line to line in each layer such that the ends of the segments in each layer form along diagonal lines having a pitch determined by the basic wire segment length. The terminal ends of each of these segments are positioned in a plane such that the segments may be connected by short lengths to form the desired interconnect. The links which join the line segments represent the customization of the otherwise undedicated interconnect. The TAB chip bonding design uses a carrier tape to bond the integrated circuit chips to the programmable interconnect. Also disclosed are methods for forming the interconnect and the TAB chip bonding design.

Abstract: Textured animal protein can be prepared by forming a heated pressurised wet mass of animal meal and extruding the mass or otherwise reducing the pressure and temperature surrounding the mass. The ingredients for the animal meal are chosen so that the measurable gelatin content of the extruded product is less than 10% of the dry solids of the product. As gelatin is a hydrolysis product of collagen, this means that the animal meal should be prepared from material which is intrinsically low in hydrolysable collagen, or the hydrolysable collagen content should be reduced either by cross-linking (for example with propylene glycol alginate) or by hydrolysis and washing away the gelatin.

Abstract: A method of transferring data between files within an application program or between multiple, independent, simultaneously active application programs appearing concurrently on a computer display screen is disclosed. Data to be transferred from a first location is marked on the computer display screen. Subsequent optional selection of either a Cut or Copy function causes a distinctive border to appear around the mrked data. An input device may then be used to move the bordered area to a new location on the computer display screen without alteration or movement of the originally marked data. A data transfer symbol appears within the bordered area during the data transfer operation to signify that such an operation is in progress. Further selection of a Paste function causes the marked data to be inserted at its new location and deletion from the computer display screen of the distinctive border and of the data transfer symbol. Additionally, the originally marked data is deleted from the computer screen display if the Cut function was chosen, while, if the Copy function was chosen, the originally marked data is unmarked and left unaltered at the conclusion of the data transfer operation.

Abstract: Cover for a liquid reservoir and method of manufacturing this. Liquid reservoirs (10) are equipped, especially when sewage (11) is stored in them, with a gas-tight floating cover for large-scale insulation. Known covers of this type consist of a plurality of foam bodies which rest closely against one another in a regular arrangement and which are adhesively bonded to one another. However, the close arrangement of the individual foam bodies and the adhesion bonding can be obtained only at a high outlay. The invention is intended to provide a gas-tight cover which is simpler to produce. The floating cover of the invention has a supporting layer (12) of plates (14, 16, 17) which are arranged irregularly relative to one another and onto which a covering layer (13) is foamed. In the method, the procedure is first to place prefabricated plates (14, 16, 17) on the sewage (11) to form the supporting layer (12) and subsequently to cover this in a gas-tight manner by means of the foamed-on covering layer (13). The invention is especially suitable for floating covers on liquid reservoirs of any base area, in which sewage (11) or other liquids polluting the environment are stored. <IMAGE>

Abstract: After mixing the signal light and the local oscillation light with a mixing circuit (21), two inter­secting polarization components are divided by a polarization splitter (23) and respective components are subjected to heterodyne detection by optical receivers (24, 25). Thereafter, in an electric signal stage, the intermediate frequency signals outputted from the optical receivers (24, 25) are applied to a 90-degree hybrid coupler (26) and the output signal from one of the output ports is demodulated by a demodulator (27). On the other hand, intermediate frequency signals outputted from the optical receivers (24, 25) are subjected to a subtraction to provide a principal axis angle monitor signal for the signal light. The signal outputted from the output port from the 90-degree hybrid coupler (26) is used to monitor the eiliptic ratio of the signal light and these monitor signals are applied to the polarization control circuit (29). The polarization control circuit drives the polarization operation apparatus (20) based on said monitor signal to control the polarization state (i.e. a principal axis angle and the elliptic ratio) of the signal light to achieve the optimum state.
