Title: Pressure vessel for a switch
Inventor: HASEGAWA HIROSHI
IPC: H01H33/56
Filed: 1988-10-04
Abstract: A pressure vessel for a switch comprises an insulative tube (3) serving as a tank for containing a fixed contact (13) and a moving contact (8) of a switch and sealing an insulation gas therein; and a reinforcement member (22) having higher rigidity than that of said insulative tube (3) and being closely fixed on an inner surface of said insulative tube (3) for enclosing said fixed contact (13) and said moving contact (8). As a material of the reinforcement member (22), a conductive material having a larger thermal expansion coefficient than that of the material of the insulative tube (3) is suitable. Thereby, absolute values of the difference of the stresses acting to the insulative tube (3) and the reinforcement member (22) can be reduced. Accordingly, pull-out type fracture occurring at a boundary between the insulative tube (3) and the reinforcement member (22) can be prevented.

Abstract: In a system for transmitting a digital signal over a signal path, such as a digital microwave radio, a method for finding worst case susceptibility of digital microwave radios to multipath fading. Signal notch depth at a given signal frequency is adjusted until a selected initial bit error rate occurs (100). Thereafter, the signal path is broken and then reestablished (110). If the measured bit error rate is greater than the initial bit error rate, the resulting bit error rate is measured, and the notch depth is decreased (130) and then gradually increased (140), until the measured bit error rate is equal to or slightly exceeds the initial bit error rate. If the measured bit error rate is equal to the initial bit error rate, the signal path is broken (110) and reestablished additional times until an accurate representation of worst case signal propagation is obtained. If the measured bit error rate is less than the initial bit error rate, the value of notch depth for the initial bit error rate is returned as the worst case value (160). In this way, worst case susceptibility of a digital microwave radio to multipath fading is indicated by notch depth.

Abstract: A solid-state image pickup apparatus for use as a video camera has a defect detecting mode and an operation mode. The solid-state image pickup apparatus includes a solid-state image sensor (2) having pixels (I cr ) arranged in rows and columns for producing an output signal representing a detected image. The solid-state image sensor operates in a field reading mde for reading electric charges from the pixels in approximately one field period such that the electric charges of the pixels (I₄₁, I₃₁; I₄₂, I₃₂) of two adjacent columns are summed before being outputted from the solid-state image sensor, the summed electric charges being different in even and odd-numbered fields, and also operates in a frame reading mode for reading electric charges from the pixels in approximately one frame period such that the electric charges of the pixels (I₄₁, I₄₂; I₂₁, I₂₂) of one of two adjacent columns are read in even-numbered fields and the electric charges of the pixels (I₃₁, I₃₂; I₁₁, I₁₂) of the other of two adjacent columns are read in odd-numbered fields. The positions of defective pixels of the solid-state image sensor are detected in the defect detecting mode, the defective pixels causing noise in the output signal at corresponding times in sampled data of the output signal. The detected positions of the defective pixels are stored in a memory (13). When the defect detecting mode is selected, the solid-state image sensor is controlled to operate in the frame reading mode.

Abstract: The reliability and availability of a data transmission radio system between at least one mobile station and n fixed base stations arranged along a route are improved according to the invention by dividing the n base stations into m groups where 1<m</=n. They have a radio link with the mobile station which moves along the route. The n base stations transmit first radio signals on m different first frequencies, base stations which belong to the same group transmitting on the same frequency, and base stations which belong to different groups transmitting on different frequencies. The mobile station transmits second radio signals on m different second frequencies. All n base stations receive the second radio signals on all m second frequencies and the mobile station receives the first radio signals on all m first frequencies. The base stations of each of the m groups are in each case interlinked in the form of a base station chain via a group-individual modulation feeder and the ends of these m chains which are independent of one another are linked with a radio switching centre. Base stations which are directly adjacent along the route always belong to different groups. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The control of a fermentation unit which operates with a horizontal fermenter (4) in plug-flow mode is extremely difficult, in particular when a high proportion of dry matter is employed. Previously, influence was only exerted on the biogenic degradation in the fermenter by returning (2) a proportion of the digested material from the outlet (8) of the fermenter to the inlet (3) of the fermenter. According to the invention, the control method is now supplemented by measuring the pH and the dry matter content at various positions (21) of the fermenter (4) and, on the basis of this measurement, controlling the fermenter in such a way that the measured data lie within certain stipulated ranges. In addition, the pH and the dry matter content can be adjusted by feeding press water laden with methane bacteria from the digested material to inoculation sites (20) in the fermenter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An IC lead frame centering method and apparatus whereby centering plates are automatically positioned to center various types of IC. With a screw driver (2) held with a hand, projections (48) of a rotating shaft (45) are inserted into driving bores (29) of a socket wrench (25), and pushed therein toward the socket wrench (25). The pressure causes the socket wrench (25) to slide on a screw rod (7) while compressing a coil spring (30). At the same time, the pressure causes the rotating shaft (45) to compress a coil spring (51), and also causes a cylindrical portion (47) of the rotating shaft (45) to move. The movement of the cylindrical portion (47) is detected by a start switch (52). Consequently, a servomotor (41) is started to drive the screw rod (7) to rotate, causing centering plates (16 and 17) to move away from each other until the centering plate 17 is detected by a mechanical origin sensor (24). The coordinate position of the centering plate (17) is recognized as a mechanical origin, and the centering plates (16 and 17) are moved from this position to a position at which the space therebetween conforms to the width of the IC, which has previously been stored in a centering position memory.
