Abstract: A tape printer for making adhesive labels includes a tape supply, a printer for reverse printing on the tape (4) and a double-sided adhesive film (73), one side of which is laminated to the printed tape and the other side of which carries a release paper. The printer has a cutter (18) for cutting the tape from the continuous supply tape and includes a trimmer (20) for rounding the corners of the tape to reduce defoliation of the tape from the surface to which it is applied. The cutting blade (50) of the trimmer has a central straight section (54), contiguous arcuate sections (56,58) at each end of the central straight section and auxiliary straight cutting edges (60,62) contiguous with the arcuate sections and extending at an obtuse angle ϑto the central straight section. The cutting blade (50) is mounted in an integrally molded support unit (30) which includes guide members for guiding the width of tape to be trimmed by the cutting blade. The support unit (30) is detachably mounted on a tape support member so that tapes of differing widths can be trimmed by interchanging the support units. Levers (102) for actuating the cutting blade are movable from a position to actuate the cutter to a retracted position enabling replacement of the support unit.

Abstract: An optical fiber interferometric system includes a pair of single-mode, polarization-preserving fibers having distal and proximal ends. The cladding of a selected portion of one of the fibers having been removed to allow an evanescent portion of a light wave traveling within the fiber to interact with any medium surrounding the selected portion of the fiber. A light source for producing a light of known character is coupled to the proximal ends of the pair of optical fibers for introducing a source signal to the pair of fibers. A reflector at the distal ends of the optical fibers reflects the light from the distal ends back toward the light source. The return signals are used to construct an interferogram which is observed to detect any modulation in the the phase of the light signals. The modulation is examined ratiometrically to derive a change in the index of refraction of the medium sunounding the selected portion substantially free of any environmentally induced phase noise.

Abstract: A plurality of physical registers greater (105) in number than can be addressed by instructions are provided. The physical registers are divided into a plurality of partial groups or windows. Each of the physical registers is specified by a physical register number determined by a combination of the number of the window and a register number contained in the window. The window number is indicated by a current floating point window pointer stored in a current floating point window pointer register (110, 113). In executing a vector calculation program having repetitive loops of an instruction sequence, the window is changed for each loop by changing the value of the current floating point window pointer. Vector data to be calculated at the i-th loop is read from a main memory (30) at the loop before the i-th loop. The calculated result of the vector data at the i-th loop is stored in the main memory at the loop after the i-th loop, thereby eliminating performance degradation to be caused by a slow data read time and improving the operation speed.

Abstract: Techniques for fault-tolerant computing without fault-tolerant hardware or operating systems. The techniques employ a monitor daemon which is implemented as one or more user processes and a fault-tolerant library which can be bound into application programs. A user process is made fault tolerant by registering it with the monitor daemon. The degree of fault tolerance can be controlled by means of the fault-tolerant library. Included in the fault-tolerant library are functions which define portions of a user process's memory as critical memory, which copy the critical memory to persistent storage, and which restore the critical memory from persistent storage. The monitor daemon monitors fault-tolerant processes, and when such a process hangs or crashes, the daemon restarts it. When the techniques are employed in a multi-node system, the monitor on each node monitors one other node in addition to the processes in its own node. In addition, the monitor may maintain copies of the state of fault- tolerant processes running at least on the monitored node. When the monitored node fails, the monitor starts the processes from the monitored node for which the monitor has state on its own node. When a node leaves or rejoins the system, the relationship between monitored and monitoring nodes is automatically reconfigured.

It is thus possible to ensure data exchange using existing hardware such as a UART, while supplying a reset clock whose frequency will not be a multiple of 1200 bps even by frequency division by 2 n , to the IC card. This data transmission system will therefore cope with both the demand for the ISO standardization and the use of existing hardware.

Abstract: The invention relates to capillary systems, produced using microtechnology, for the integration of a plurality of chemical microsensors based on ISFETs. With the invention, the microcapillary (1) is configured such that the measurement fluid to be analysed is forced to flow round, and is therefore forced to wet, the chemical microsensors integrated into the microcapillary, that is to say their sensitive membrane regions (3). This forced flowing around is constructionally produced by introduction of so-called channel stoppers (2) which minimise the production of dead volumes. The microcapillary according to the invention having integrated chemical microsensors in this case offers the advantage that, by using the channel stoppers, the measurement fluid can be optimally brought into contact with the sensitive region of the sensor, as a result of which an improved response in dynamic operation is achieved. In order to construct the microcapillary, use is made of an anisotropic silicon-structuring technique which allows, according to each application case, the geometrically ideal design of the capillary and of the channel stopper in the region of the chemically sensitive membrane for optimum flow guidance. By using reflow soldering with low-melting solder or employing cold-setting adhesive during mounting of the microsensors, improved mounting while avoiding high thermal or stress loads is guaranteed and flexible replacement of failed sensors is facilitated.
