Abstract: A heating ventilating and air conditioning system
comprises a diffuser which serves when mounted adjacent the
outlet of the system in a first orientation to diffuse air
in a generally horizontal direction and, when mounted in an
inverted orientation, to diffuse air in a substantially
vertical direction. The diffuser takes the form of a disc-like
element which is mounted within an opening (2) defined in
a mounting frame (3), co-operating means being provided for
releasably retaining the diffuser in position within the
opening. The diffuser is located within the opening with
minimum clearance and the releasable retaining means serve
to prevent undesired removal of the diffuser by hand
without the use of a special tool. The system includes
first and second components defining a plurality of
similarly sized apertures with the components being mounted
adjacent each other and movable to provide differing
degrees of alignment between the apertures in order to
control a flow of air through the components. Means are
provided for releasably fixing the positions of the first
and second components relative to each other to set a
desired airflow rate, said means permitting the removal of
one of the components and being such that the removed
component can only be replaced in the same position,
relative to the other component, as that from which it was
removed thereby ensuring that the desired airflow rate is
maintained. The system includes a plenum chamber (7) which is
connected to a further component of the system by way of a
substantially air-tight snap fitting connection.

Abstract: The present invention provides an air permeable, substantially liquid impermeable
barrier structure and products made therefrom, such as sanitary napkins,
pantiliners, incontinence products and diapers. The barrier structure has a porous
layer having opposing sides, the porous layer having: a porous substrate having
pores, which extend between the opposing sides that correspond to the opposing
sides of the porous layer, whereby a liquid may transverse the substrate; and
particles that are fused to at least one side of the porous substrate so as to restrict
entry of the liquid into the pores; wherein the porous layer resists penetration by
the liquid when it is contained in an absorbent structure that overlays the side of
the porous layer to which the particles are fused, and is under a loading of one
pound per square inch; and wherein the porous layer has a Frazier air permeability
value in the range of greater than zero to about 80 mm 3 /ft 2 /min (861 mm 3 /m 2 /min).
The air permeable, substantially liquid impermeable barrier structure is
distinguished by having the particles that are fused to the porous substrate being
predominantly on the surface of the porous substrate rather than being admixed
with and penetrating the depth of the materials that comprise the porous substrate.

Abstract: A variable control device which controls the rotations of a step motor in a
continuously variable transmission and maintains the variable ratio is provided
with a feed back control system and a feed forward control system. These
control systems are switched on the basis of the driving conditions. The feed
back control is provided with an actual pulley compensator 108b which
calculates the external disturbance compensation from the actual pulley ratio
(Aip) and a command value external disturbance compensator 108a which
calculates the external disturbance compensation from the command pulley
ratio. When switching from open loop control to feed back control, the actual
pulley ratio compensator 108b is initialized to the actual variable ratio (Aip). On
the other hand, the command value compensator 108a is initialized to the
command pulley ratio (ip R ). Hence it is possible to prevent the command pulley
ratio from varying greatly immediately after switching and control the generation
of variable shocks when transferring from open loop control to feed back control.

Abstract: A method and apparatus affects subsequent
instruction processing in a data processor (10). In one
embodiment, a delay interrupt recognition instruction
(IDLY4) is executed by data processor (10) to delay or
conditionally delay interrupt recognition for a
controlled interval, either for a predetermined period
of time or for a predetermined number of instructions,
so that a read/modify/write sequence of instructions
can be performed without dedicated instructions which
define the modification operation. The IDLY4
instruction may affect the manner in which subsequent
instructions affect a condition bit (38). The condition
bit (38) may thus be used to determine if exception
processing occurred during the interrupt non-recognition
interval after execution of the IDLY4
instruction.

Abstract: A method of assembling an optical device (10; 142) for coupling
optical fibers to a corresponding number of input/output ports of a stack of
optical elements includes utilizing at least one controllable multi-state optical
element (22; 138 and 140) to selectively switch the optical coupling among
the ports. The controllable multi-state element is one element within a stack
of polarization-manipulating elements having a configuration that allows the
condition of the multi-state element or elements to dictate the optical coupling
among the ports. In the preferred embodiment, the multi-state element is a
Faraday rotator. The method may be used in either or both of a quality
control application or a fiber-to-port alignment application. In the quality
control operation, the stack of polarization-manipulating elements is tested to
verify proper operation with respect to separating and selectively recombining
polarization components (114, 116, 118 and 120) of input beams. In the
fiber-to-port alignment application, the fibers (12 and 14; 144 and 146) on
the same side (16) of the stack are first fixed in a parallel relationship with a
known center-to-center distance that is equal to the center-to-center distance
between corresponding ports of the stack. By optically aligning one of the
fibers on the forward side of the stack with the fibers (18; 154) on the
rearward side (20) of the stack, at least one other fiber is automatically
brought into registration with its corresponding port.

Abstract: A communication method in a cordless telephone system
having a base unit with which a plurality of portable
units can be registered and a portable unit registrable
with a plurality of base units. In the method, if the
base unit goes off-hook, a busy signal is sent to all the
portable units registered with the base unit. If the call
is terminated in the base unit, a call termination signal
is sent to all the portable units. Upon receipt of the
busy signal, a portable unit stores data indicating that
the base unit is busy in a selection table in its memory.
To initiate a call, the portable unit sends a call request
signal to a primary base unit listed in the selection
table if the primary base unit is not busy, and
otherwise, to another idle base unit. When a call termination
signal is received from the busy base unit, the
busy state indicating data is deleted in the selection
table.
