Abstract: A casted iron muffling suction chamber comprising in a single integrated
body the suction inlet (40) and the suction chamber. The casted tubular section
inlet extends into the interior of the suction chamber to enhance the muffling

Abstract: An automatic power turn-on circuit for a battery-powered measurement instrument.
Instrument power is normally off, and when the instrument is connected to a voltage to
be measured, the voltage that is sensed activates an electronic switch that in turn
connects an internal battery to the processing and display circuits of the instrument. The
voltage sense circuitry includes circuits for sensing either a positive or a negative voltage,
and basing a driver transistor into conduction. The driver transistor in turn activates the
switch to connect the battery voltage to a power supply output node. An RC network
holds the switch in the "on" position for a short period of time after the voltage to be
measured is removed from the inputs of the instrument.

IPC: G06F12/02

Abstract: A computer system includes a microprocessor coupled to a main memory through
a bridge logic unit. The bridge logic unit receives memory read requests from the
microprocessor and provides the requests to the main memory. The bridge logic unit
includes a memory fetch control unit configured to fetch a single line of data from the main
memory in response to an initial read request from the microprocessor. If a read request
to a sequential line of data is received from the microprocessor, the memory fetch control
unit fetches not only the requested line of data but also the next sequential line of data.
Thus, following the initial read request in which a single line of data is fetched, when the
microprocessor issues a request for data from a sequential line, that line is fetched and the
subsequent line is speculatively prefetched. If the microprocessor continues with a request
to yet an additional sequential line, the memory fetch unit continues its speculative
generation of a request for the next sequential line. If the microprocessor issues a memory
read request to a non-sequential line of data, the memory fetch control unit fetches only
that line of data.

equipment related thereto. The method comprises sequentially at least
the following phases: - dispersion into the soil of at least one compound,
solid, liquid or gaseous, able to react exothermically with water and/or
steam, or other substance; - injection of at least one jet of water and/or
steam, or of another substance, into the soil in such a way as to produce
heat in the subsequent reaction with the compound. Between the two
aforesaid phases it is convenient to proceed to break up the soil to favour
its mixing with the compound and create the best conditions for the
reaction. The equipment (10) suitable to carry out this method comprises
autonomous locomotion means (1) to be able to reach the open
countryside, a tank (2) to transport water or another suitable substance
and a related appendage (5) to convey it into the soil, a second tank (3)

steam, or, in general, with the substance transported in the first tank (2),
and means (4) for dispensing the compound into the soil. It can also be
provided with a boiler (6) to heat or vaporise the reactant contained in
the tank (2), as well as an agricultural tool (8) to favour the mixing of the
compound, the penetration of the reactant into the soil and the

Abstract: A millimeter wave module includes a silicon substrate with first
and second cavityes formed by anisotropic etching on the silicon substrate , and
a glass substrate having a microstrip filter pattern and microbumps for connecting
the glass substrate to the silicon substrate. A filter is provided using an air layer
as a dielectric disposed in the first cavity. An MMIC is mounted by the flip chip
method over the second air layer. A coplanar waveguide is on the silicon
substrate for connecting the filter and MMIC. The filter having low loss is
achieved because it has the microstrip structure using air as an insulating layer.
Also change in characteristics of the MMIC during mounting is eliminated
because the MMIC is protected by contacting air. Accordingly, the millimeter
wave module has excellent characteristics and is made using a simple method.

Abstract: In a method for detecting liquid adhering upon a
front windshield with superior sensitivity but without
obstructing drivers, a light beam emitted from a light
emitting element 4 is guided into a light guiding body 7,
and after undergoing total internal reflection within
light guiding body 7, it is guided into a front windshield
G. The light guided into the front windshield G is
received by a light receiving element 5 after repeated
total internal reflections within the front windshield G. 
     In this instance, when raindrops adhere on the
outside surface of the front windshield G and the adhering
points are at the total internal reflection points of the
light mentioned above, then the light beam guided into the
front windshield G passes through and goes out from the
windshield G without undergoing total internal reflection
therein. As the result of this, the amount of the light
beam received by the light receiving element decreases,
thereby enabling detection of adhesion of raindrops based
thereon, so as to output a signal for driving a wiper
equipment or the like.

Abstract: A compact cooling technique is provided
for cooling an ink jet printer or printhead
electronics. A cooling plate (18) is held in good
thermal contact to the integrated circuits (12) to be
cooled. Fluid passing through the cooling plate
then cools the electronics. The cooling plate is
typically an aluminum plate embedded with thin
walled stainless steel tubing through which fluid
flows to provide cooling. The cooling plate has a
compliant pad (26) which is thermally conductive, and
electrically insulated. The plate and pad
combination is held against the integrated circuits
for controlling the high voltage to the charging
electrodes, which are mounted on the charge driver
board. The integrated circuit is packaged in a
cavity down ball grid array (BGA) package which
provides low thermal resistance to the cooling
plate. Variations in the height of the charge
driver chips is compensated for by the compliant
thermal pad. The fluid is routed through the
printhead frame into the cold plate where heat is
transferred to the fluid which returns to the
printhead frame to exit the printhead. The fluid is
ported into the printhead to where the drops will be
generated.

Abstract: The invention relates to overload control in a packet switched network, especially in a network where Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used as the transport layer protocol. In order to increase the throughput of asymmetric connections, the level of traffic load is measured on the backward path of a connection and acknowledgement packets traveling along the backward path are discarded when the measured load level exceeds a predetermined level. If the asymmetry is dynamic, the current level of asymmetry can be estimated to determine whether a packet discard mechanism is used on the forward path or on the backward path.
