Abstract: An apparatus is arranged to successively make plastic bags each of which has a shape of circumference. The apparatus comprises web feeding means by which a web material is intermittently fed for a length along a longitudinal feeding path. The web material comprises two or more layers of plastic film. Web cutting means is disposed along the feeding path. The web cutting means has a shape corresponding completely or incompletely to the shape of circumference of plastic bag so that the web material can be cut into the shape of circumference of plastic bag by the web cutting means whenever the web material is intermittently fed and temporarily stopped, to successively make the plastic bags with a waste kept continuous. The web cutting means comprises partially cutting means. The plastic bag has an upstream edge along which the web material is partially cut by the partially cutting means so that the plastic bag can be kept connected with the waste at the upstream edge of plastic bag. Drawing means is disposed downstream of the cutting means. The waste is diverged from the plastic bag, directed to and drawn by the drawing means after the web material is cut. Discharge means is disposed downstream of the cutting means. The plastic bag is directed to the discharge means without the waste. The plastic bag is then pulled by the discharge means to be torn from the waste at the upstream edge of plastic bag. The plastic bag is then discharged by the discharge means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: If the amount of fuel added to exhaust gas becomes excessive as a result of an abnormality of an addition agent supply unit ( 60 ), the air-fuel ratio of exhaust as decreases. If an exhaust gas air-fuel ratio obtained from a value output from an A/F sensor ( 4 ) remains equal to or smaller than a predetermined value for a predetermined period, an ECU ( 2 ) determines that an addition agent supply unit ( 60 ) is abnormal. Upon detection of an abnormality of the addition agent supply unit ( 60 ), the ECU ( 2 ) incrteases an amount of EGR gas recirculated to the intake side by an EGR unit ( 40 ), reduces an amount of fuel injection from injectors ( 11 ), and restricts an operational state of an engine body ( 10 ) to a low-speed/low-load state. Also, the ECU ( 2 ) turns a warning lamp ( 7 ) on, warns a driver of the abnormality of the addition agent supply unit ( 60 ), and makes it possible to pull a vehicle over safely.

Abstract: A description is given of a method of monitoring the operationality of a flow cut-off member for an extracorporeal fluid circuit. Also described is a system for arresting the flow of blood that implements this monitoring method. The system has a flow cut-off member active on a radially deformable length of tube forming part of the circuit, and a unit capable of causing a movement of a movable portion of the cut-off member towards a closed condition. The system detects when the movable portion passes through a first predetermined position and determines the value assumed by a dynamic parameter associated with the motion of the movable portion at the first predetermined position. The system further checks that this value is within a predetermined criterion of acceptability. Lastly, a blood treatment appliance is described that implements the described method and system.

Abstract: Memory systems like disk drives are usually sensitive to vibrations. In a consumer electronics environment, with reproduction of audio, this is a problem because audio reproduction means generating vibrations. To prevent performance degradation of the memory system, action is taken to reduce the influence of vibrations on the memory system. This is only done when the performance of the storage system drops below a pre-determined level when it causes such a degradation of performance that it is annoying for a user. Of course, the pre-determined level is-among others-influenced by the application that uses the memory system. Actions to be taken may be reducing the sound level, but also advising a user to reduce the sound level or cancel operations that use the storage system.

A plurality of system matrices and an associated covariance matrix using codes and estimated impulse responses of the  K  data signals is produced. Each system matrix corresponds to a received vector version. The system and covariance matrices are extended and approximated as block circulant matrices. A diagonal matrix of each of the extended and approximated system and covariance matrices are determined by prime factor algorithm - fast Fourier transform (PFA-FFT) without division of the matrix. The received vector versions are extended. A product of the diagonal matrices and the extended received vector versions is taken. An inverse block discrete Fourier transform is performed by a PFA-FFT on a result of the product to produce the estimated data of the  K  data signals.
