Abstract: In a wire bonding apparatus in which, by identifying recognition marks of a pellet or leads displaced from a reference position in wire-bonding a pellet of a semiconductor device to leads within a field of view of a television camera, the displacements of the bonding positions of the pellet and the lead are corrected and then bonding pads on the pellet are connected to the leads by wires, the field of view is moved from a reference view position in a given moving manner, whereby the recognition marks may be identified rapidly and reliably. This apparatus is well adapted for the wire bonding of a semiconductor device of the DILG sealing type, for example, which is poor in the position accuracy of the bonding position.

Abstract: Fuel oil containing sodium salt, potassium salt and solid matters is purified by separating the fuel oil into fuel oil and sludges by a centrifugal separating means, thereby removing the sludges from the fuel oil, and mixing the fuel oil freed from the sludges with water, and separating the resulting liquid mixture into fuel oil and water. Removal of the salts and the solid matters from the fuel oil can be attained at the same time very effectively with a reduced frequency of cleaning a filter or by omitting the use of the filter, with or without using an emulsion breaker.

Abstract: A phase of a composite color television signal is adjusted by utilizing a signal which is one-field after or before relative to a current signal and which is a signal of the nearest scanning line. A difference signal between the color television signal and a signal derived from a one-field memory is applied to a band-pass filter and an output signal of the band-pass filter is added to the color television signal so that the phase of the carrier chrominance signal is adjusted by 180 degrees. The phase adjuster according to the present invention is applicable to video signal processing systems such as a noise reducer and a differential PCM coder.

Abstract: An automatic working apparatus having a route-controlled object to be controlled in respect of the route along which the object is moved is controlled by a point-to-point control system in which coordinates of three successively given bend points are used for automatically determining a bend angle at one of the given bend points and for automatically controlling the speed of the route-controlled object at the one given bend point as a function of the bend angle.

Abstract: A method and a system for engine control are disclosed. Electrical signals representing the engine operating conditions are detected, which electrical signals, together with the control data stored in a memory, are used to calculate a correction factor for correcting the control data for controlling the engine, where the correction factor is stored in a volatile memory, thus controlling the engine on the basis of the control data corrected by the correction factor. The correction factor stored in RAM is transferred to a non-volatile memory under predetermined conditions. Even if the voltage applied to RAM is reduced to a level lower than the storage ability of RAM, resulting in the loss of the stored data, the correction factor stored in EAROM is transferred back to RAM upon restoration of a normal voltage at RAM.

Preferably, those adjacent two feeder blocks which belong to adjacent different feeding sections respectively are coupled together through an associated one of a third group of switches.

Abstract: Voice and alarm signalling capability between supervisory personnel at monitor and control sites located at separated transceiver facilities of a (repeatered) multichannel communication network is provided by a multichannel multiplexed encode/decode scheme in which voice and/or alarm signals generated at one station are digitally encoded and formatted so as to be inserted into the data stream of the normally conveyed data traffic over the active channels of the network. At the receiving terminal site, these inserted signals are removed from the high data rate digital data stream and delivered to decoding equipment which reconstructs the original voice and/or alarm signals for delivery to the audio equipment of station operation personnel. The encoded signals are inserted as overhead bits for each active channel, so that a fault on one channel will not prevent the completion of trasmission of the intended communication between terminal site personnel.

The correction air flowing through all the lines is controlled volumewise by a common control device which is disposed upstream of an air distributor for the air lines.

For size reduction, the Doppler radar speed sensor is provided with a metal casing integrated with a slotted waveguide antenna. The slot array of the antenna is formed in one side of the metal casing, so that the metal casing, makes up part of the slot array antenna.
