In a mounting board, two through-holes are formed which are used for inserting both ends of a supporting member for a vibrator. On a surface of the mounting board, a ground conductor pattern is formed. In the ground conductor pattern, two portions of arcs, where the ground conductor pattern is removed, are formed on respective peripheries of the two through-holes. Furthermore, on the mounting boar...

A vibrator 1 of a vibrating gyro includes a cylindrical vibrating body 2 made of a piezoelectric ceramic and three electrodes 3, 4, and 5 formed symmetrically with respect to an axis of symmetry 8. A driver power source S0 applies an AC voltage V across the common electrode 3 and the other two electrodes 4, 5 via current detector/driver means 20 and 30, which include an operational amplifier 21 an...

A packet communications network is adapted for efficiently handling of multi-priority traffic (such as multi-media traffic) by defining an access algorithm that not only ensures the requested loss probabilities for both priorities of traffic, but also optimizes the bandwidth required to carry both priority classes. A buffer having a properly sized occupancy threshold admits high priority traffic i...

Early initiation of transmission of data in a network interface that includes a dedicated transmit buffer is provided in a system which includes logic for transferring frames of data composed by the host computer into the transmit buffer. The amount of data of a frame which is downloaded by the host to the transmit buffer is monitored to make a threshold determination of an amount of data of the f...

A high speed data communication controller comprising two independent central processing units, each having its own independent program instruction fetch data path, and instruction execution data path. The data communication controller includes a dual-port serial communication subsystem and a bus interface unit operably associated with a four channel DMA controller. One central processing unit is ...

Restoration of connections by a distributed restoration process in a fully or partly meshed communications network of nodes, the restoration method comprising the steps of responding at a first end node of a path in the network to receipt of an indication that the path has failed to retrieve the identity of one or more nodes stored in the first end node in association with the identity of the path...

Processed meat products comprising a thermally treated, uniform mixture of a meat and a konjac mannan gel. The konjac mannan gel is obtained by steaming a sol of konjac mannan gel. The meat product has a reduced calorific value and a high content of fibers derived from the konjac mannan gel. The meat product is rather tender and has a good feeling upon eating without involving slippiness. A method...

The process for mixing a gas with at least one liquid, for example to obtain a nonchlorinated or little chlorinated solvent from a gaseous hydrofluoroalkane, comprises, starting with normal conditions of temperature and pressure, cooling the gas under such conditions of temperature and pressure that the gas is liquefied, mixing this liquefied gas with the liquid, and bringing the mixture back to t...

This invention is directed to antibacterial activity of fatty acids and monoglycerides. More particularly, this invention is directed to the killing of bacteria by fatty acids and monoglycerides. The invention is also directed to antibacterial pharmaceutical compositions consisting essentially of inert pharmaceutical carrier and an antibacterial effective amount of one or more compounds selected f...

PURPOSE:To enhance dimensional accuracy by providing a gear pump between the leading end of a barrel and a mold and measuring pressure at the inlet of the gear pump and controlling the number of rotations of the gear pump on the basis of the measured pressure. CONSTITUTION:A gear pump 3 is provided between the barrel of an extrusion molding machine 1 and a mold 2 and a pressure measuring device 6 ...

A masonry nail (10) having two pointed end portions (11,12) is used to mount a board (24) in a wall (22). One end portion (12) is driven into the wall using a tool leaving the other end portion (11) projecting forward. The board (24) is urged on to the nail (11) so that the board is mounted on the wall without damaging the front face of the board. The end portion (11) may have threads (13) and the...

A welded joint for a thermoplastic double containment pipes is formed by an apparatus including an electrofusion welding sleeve placed over the primary pipe, an electrofusion welding sleeve placed over the secondary pipe, clamps which concentrate their clamping pressure at preselected areas on the secondary pipe sleeve and anchor plates located on one or both opposite sides of the joint.
