PURPOSE:To ensure a high-speed processing with a logic circuit by inverting the result of subtraction in case a 2nd input data is larger than a 1st input data and decoding the inverted data to shift this decoding result. CONSTITUTION:The data (a) and (b) on an exponent part are supplied to a subtractor 2 and the data (b) is subtracted from the data (a). A carry output signal (c) is set at H when t...

A tire building drum is described as having, a plurality of radially movable bead lock segments at each end of the drum for holding the tire bead rings during the turn-up operation, a pair of turn-up bladders, and a pair of carriers which work in conjunction with the bead lock segments and turn-up bladders to tension the ply endings of the unvulcanized carcass ply or plies as the ply endings are t...

IMPROVED ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR An electrosurgical generator having a source of electrosurgical energy connected to a patient and including control circuitry for decreasing the output power from the source with increasing patient impedance, the rate of power decrease being substantially greater than that which would result if the output voltage from the source were maintained constant over the ...

HIGH RESILIENCY MOLDED URETHANE FOAMS CONTAINING HIGH LEVELS OF GRAFT COPOLYMER POLYOLS A polyether based polyurethane foam is disclosed which contains high levels of reinforcing graft copolymer polyols. The graft copolymer polyol serves to open cells and to add firmness to the foam.
