Abstract: An integrated circuit is switchable between a normal operating mode and a test mode. A functional circuit and a test pattern converter are both coupled between input contacts, output contacts and a redefinable contact of the integrated circuit. In the test mode respectively the test pattern converter drives the outputs contacts and, dependent on the circuit configuration, the redefinable contact. The test pattern converter is arranged to provide a first and second relation between signals at the input contacts and the output contacts, with the redefinable contact used as an input or output contact respectively, dependent on the circuit configuration. The relations have been selected so as to permit testing of stuck-at and cross-connect errors with the redefinable contact used as input and output contact respectively.

Abstract: The present invention is related to cellular radio communication network and is a method for determining a Monitored set (MS) of cells associated with an Active set (AS) of cells by a particular ranking of the neighbouring cells associated with each of the cells in the Active set. A neighbouring cell list is created which contains for each active cell its neighbouring cells. These cells can be in a random order and can include other active cells. A scanning operation is done starting with the neighbouring cell (C 12 or C 31 ) on top of the list which belongs to the strongest active cell (C 11 ), whereby this cell will be included in the Monitoring set if certain conditions (3,4; respectively, FIG. 4 ). Next, the list associated with the next strongest active cell (C 12 ) is considered. This scanning is repeated until the maximum size of the Monitoring set has been reached.

Abstract: A supply unit and a user unit employed in the manufacture of tobacco products, typically cigarettes and the like, are linked by a duct along which a mass of the cigarettes is advanced from the outfeed of the supply unit toward the infeed of the user unit. The advancing mass of cigarettes is parted at an intermediate zone of the duct either by rods or by a pair of frames, in such a way as to create a void that will accommodate a trolley directed into the duct from a housing by an elevator; once inside the duct, the trolley proceeds to push the mass of cigarettes from the intermediate zone toward the inlet of a hopper in such a way as to empty the duct completely, for example when changing over from one brand of cigarette to another. To advantage, the trolley is composed of two articulated structures so that its geometry and dimensions can be varied to match the variations in geometry and depth of the duct.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain a filter from clogging until after PM regeneration control is performed.  <P>SOLUTION: If the filter is about to be clogged, and conditions for PM regeneration are not yet established (step S11: Yes, S12: No), the following steps are taken until the conditions for the PM regeneration are established. If a battery charging capacity SOC is higher than a specified threshold, a torque assist by a motor generator is performed to reduce the engine load (step S15: Yes, S16, S17). If the battery charging capacity SOC is lower than the specified threshold, amount of the torque assist by the motor generator is decreased to increase the engine load for regeneration by the motor generator (step S15: No, S18, S19, S20: No, S22). If the battery charging capacity SOC is too small, generation of electricity is conducted by the motor generator (step S20: Yes, S21).  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract: Method for measuring gas consumption using a gas meter, especially for measuring gas energy consumption, whereby the meter is suitable for measuring both a gas mass flow and energy consumption in that the meter determines the gas type and if it is incombustible calculates a mass flow in weight or volume units, liters per minute (l/min), while if it is combustible calculates consumption in energy units, kWh. An independent claim is made for a gas meter that functions as both a mass flowmeter and an energy meter, having a gas quality sensor with means for determining a gas parameter that is indicative of whether the gas is combustible or not. To determine the gas type its heat conductivity, heat capacity, diffusivity or viscosity are calculated, from which the gas mixture can be determined.

Abstract: A multi-head tandem printer is disclosed which includes an optical encoder or other device mounted on a roller (the "encoder roller") in contact with the print media. The device and encoder roller serve as a tachometer to measure the media transport speed (referred to herein as the "print speed"). The print heads are arranged so that the unloaded receiver length between two print heads is an integral multiple of the unloaded receiver length transported for each revolution of the encoder roller. In one embodiment, the print heads are arranged so that the inter-head spacing is an integer multiple of the circumference of the encoder roll. Adjustments may be made to the inter-head spacing to take into account factors such as the thickness of the receiver and the curvature at the line of receiver contact with the encoder roll. Such techniques may be employed to reduce the effect of mechanical errors on color registration.

Abstract: A surgical handpiece (10) is described having at least an irrigation lumen (30, 52) mounted to the body (12). Another lumen (48) is used for aspiration and one irrigation lumen (30) is used to inject heated surgical fluid for liquefying a cataractous lens. A portion of the irrigation lumen (30) is enlarged to form a pumping chamber (42). The pumping chamber works by boiling a small volume of the surgical fluid. As the fluid boils, it expands rapidly, thereby propelling the liquid downstream of the pumping chamber out of the irrigation lumen (30). The pumping chamber may use a pair of electrodes (45, 47) and one of the electrodes may contain a countersink (100). A second irrigation lumen (52, 235) may supply cool surgical fluid to the operative site. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a railway line, thermally-induced stresses are a factor for both rail breaks and rail buckling. These stresses are in the longitudinal direction. A nondestructive measuring technique enables the residual stress in a rail to be determined, and hence the thermally-induced stress. An electromagnetic probe is used to measure the stresses in the rail web in the vertical direction, and in the direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The residual stress in the longitudinal direction can be deduced from the measured stress in the vertical direction; hence the thermally-induced stress can be determined.
