An improvement in a process for the production of polyurethane foam is disclosed, in which a first component is admixed and reacted with a second component and in which the first component has a viscosity at least two times the viscosity of the second component, thereby resulting in a nonuniform distribution of the cells of the foam. The improvement comprises admixing the second component with 1-5...

A microprogram control circuit interrupts high speed clock signals inputted to a processor when a HALT instruction issues from the processor in order to end operation at completion of a program. The clock signal is provided only when a program is in process. Should a program continue beyond a preselected time period without a HALT instruction, a control circuit including a timer detects this condi...

PURPOSE:To minimize inconvenience produced from the generation of failure, by monitoring the operating state of a terminal device continuously and detecting the failure generated in the terminal device earlier. CONSTITUTION:Data are transmitted from a main controller 1 to data lines D0- Dn, a device designating data to be selected is transmitted to device designation lines N0-Nm, and a low-level c...
