PURPOSE:To detect an error without fail when a plural (irrespective of odd or even number) logic ''1'' state arises simultaneously by utilizing two priority encoders whose priority levels are reversely connected. CONSTITUTION:Outputs of eight FFs 1-8 for showing the logic ''1'' state are connected to inputs of priority encoders 20 and 21. At this time, since priority levels of the encoders 20 and ...

The locations of defects in flat glass (1) are detected during conveyance through a detection station where the glass is scanned by a radiation beam (11). The beam sweeps transversely across the path of the glass through a distance in excess of the glass width so that the beam sweeps through both side edges. Beam deflection occurs when the beam encounters a side edge boundary of the glass (1) and ...

A laser scalpel includes a safety device which comprises a group of detectors (20 to 28) and a signal processing system (30) which raises an alarm (31,32) and renders the scalpel safe. The group of detectors includes a grounding disconnection detector (20) which monitors the connection between the laser scalpel power source (5) and earth, and a current leakage detector (21) which monitors current ...

The invention relates to an arrangement for resetting a program counter in an electronic control system (1) if the supply voltage falls below a predetermined minimum value. It is envisaged that a differentiating element provides the connection to connection terminals (2 and 3) for the supply voltage. This differentiating element registers a rise in the supply voltage. If appropriate, it feeds a re...

Under the influence of surges of turning moment which exceed the setting moment of the front jaw, the two spring elements 7 and 8 are twisted relative to one another, the roller bodies 11 rolling on tangential inclined surfaces 10, so that the turning moment increases in accordance with the predetermined spring force and the angle of inclination. The release lever 14 twists with the rototably moun...

A foamed polystyrene board useful as a thermal insulating material is produced by melting a polystyrene having a melt index of from 0.5 to 5 under heat in an extruder, mixing the molten mass with a blowing agent composed of methyl chloride and dichlorodifluoromethane, and extruding the resulting foamable molten gel from the extruder. As a novel essential feature, a flowability improver having a me...
