According to the invention, a pair of pockets (13) are formed in one flange (12). A pair of almost L-shaped connecting terminals (14) are fitted into the pocket with a pressure. The starting and terminating sides (10a, 10b) of a coil core wire (10) are respectively wound around the connecting terminals. Thus, the cutting-out of the coil core wire is prevented and the connecting work can be easily ...

A method for recognizing an irradiation field on a recording medium comprises the steps of, on each of radial lines each of which connects a point located in the irradiation field with an edge of the recording medium, detecting prospective contour points, each of which is considered to be an intersection of each line and a contour of the irradiation field, together with their prospectiveness ranks...

A system for detecting and locating a ground fault (34) in the field winding (2) of a machine, in which a DC potential is present across the winding (2) during machine operation and the winding (2) is normally insulated from ground, the system including: a voltage divider (4) connectable in parallel with the winding (2) and having a plurality of tap points spaced apart along the divider(4); a plur...

A glass ionomer cement composition comprises poly(vinyl phosphonic acid) dissolved in its own mass of water; and (in treble the total mass of the solution) a powder, being glass or MgO or a cermet. The powder has to be deactivated so that the setting reaction with the acid is not too fast, and this is achieved either by a raised Si:Al ratio or by heat-treating. The glass contains heavy ions such a...

High transmission and reception quality is achieved in a high definition television system, with minimum intra-channel interference, by digitally encoding the enhancement information and employing spread-spectrum modulation techniques.
