Abstract: A cylinder lock comprising a lock body (1) and inside it a rotatable lock cylinder (2) enclosing a number of locking discs (4;6) turnable by the key (3) of the lock and provided with a peripheral notch (8) determining the combination of the lock, and a locking bar (7), which in the locking position prevents turning of the lock cylinder (2) with regard to the lock body (1). The locking discs (4) are also provided with a set of second peripheral notches (10) arranged in cooperation with an auxiliary bar (11) so as to prevent turning of the locking discs (4;6) relatively to each other at the end phase of the turning movement for opening the lock before the locking bar (7) moves into its position for releasing the lock. The second peripheral notches (10) are located outside of the cutting range for said combination peripheral notches (8) and are arranged side by side on the peripheral edge of each of the locking discs (4).

Abstract: A bi-directional bus repeater includes two unidirectional bus repeaters connected for retransmitting signals in opposite directions between two buses. When an external bus driver pulls either bus low, one of the unidirectional bus repeaters pulls the other bus low. When the external bus driver allows the bus to rise to the high logic level, the unidirectional bus repeater temporarily supplies a high charging current to the other bus to quickly pull it up. Each unidirectional bus repeater also generates signals indicating when it is actively pulling its output bus up or down and the indicating signals inhibit one unidirectional bus repeater from actively driving its output when the other unidirectional bus repeater is actively driving its output.

Abstract: A leadframe comprising a thin-walled portion that is formed in a dam bar portion or a portion that extends from the dam bar portion to a pair of inner leads which are adjacent thereto. By cutting the dam bar portion along the thin-walled portion, the stress that is imposed on a cutting punch is reduced. Thus, it is possible to extend the lifetime of the cutting punch and also to minimize the shear droop formed on the cut surface. The leadframe further has a thick-walled portion formed at the position where the thin-wall portion is formed. The thick-walled portion serves to support the thin-walled portion when the dam bar portion is cut off, thus preventing the dam bar portion from tilting. Accordingly, the dam bar cutting operation can be conducted stably without undesired movement of the dam bar portion, and the stress that is imposed on the leadframe can be controlled so as to be well balanced.

Abstract: An electromechanical door lock comprises a lock body, which includes a bolt movable between a protruding locking position and a withdrawn releasing position by an electromechanical force transmission mechanism, a dead-locking element for dead-locking the bolt and an operating axis provided with a manual force transmission mechanism for moving the bolt and the dead-locking element. The lock body includes a coupling mechanism having a first position, in which it provides force transmission connection from both the manual force transmission mechanism and the electromechanical force transmission mechanism to the bolt. The coupling mechanism is movable by means of the key operable force transmission mechanism into a second position, in which the force transmission connection from the electromechanical force transmission mechanism to the bolt is disconnected so that the bolt is movable only through the manual force transmission mechanism.

Abstract: Improved fuel injection valve arrangement for so called dual fuel engines operated using two types of fuel, comprising a valve housing (2), which includes at least one nozzle orifice (5) opening into a combustion chamber of a cylinder in a combustion engine and which further includes first valve means for gaseous fuel and, independently controllable thereof, second valve means for pre-injection fuel used for ignition of the gaseous fuel. The valve means for the gaseous fuel comprises an axially movable, cylindrical, substantially hollow valve member (3), the mantle surface of which is sealed to the valve housing (2), at least at the end located at the side of the combustion chamber of the cylinder, and inside of which there is a separate valve means (7;8) for the pre-injection fuel.

Abstract: A color cathode ray tube employs a shadowmask having substantially vertical slots positioned between a single electron gun and substantially vertical color phosphor stripes on the faceplate of the tube. Piezoelectric bimorph actuators translate the shadowmask back and forth in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of the slots and stripes in synchronization with field sequential color information to excite the phosphor stripes. In an alternative embodiment, the phosphor screen is moved relative to a fixed shadowmask. During the relative movement between the shadowmask and screen in a first direction, video information is provided from a memory in a first sequential manner, while for relative movement in a second direction, the video information is read out of memory in a reverse direction for executing a reverse raster starting from the bottom of the screen. The slots and phosphor stripes are skewed slightly with respect to one another to maintain proper color registration.

Abstract: The a-selenium-tellurium photosensitive member according to the present invention comprises an electric charge injection preventive layer, an a-selenium-tellurium mixed vacuum evaporation layer of 0.03-0.2 .mu.m thick having tellurium concentration within the range of 20-50 wt % with uniform concentration on the deposited surface, and an electric charge transport layer, and these three layers are sequentially laminated on a transparent electrode layer. Thus, a-selenium-tellurium layer is formed in thin film, and thermal excitation carrier and injection carrier can be reduced to very low level even when tellurium concentration is increased. The increase of dark current is not very high. Panchromatic property can be provided in visible light region, and the sensitivity can be improved even in short wavelength region.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices are modified and/or repaired by gas enhanced physical sputtering. A focused ion beam is scanned over an area to be removed while iodine vapor is directed toward the same area. The iodine vapor, which is focused by heating solid iodine to a temperature of 30.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., is adsorbed on the surface of the semiconductor device and aids in the selective sputtering of material to be impinged by the ion beam by enabling a chemical reaction at the material's surface. The iodine may be initially handled in a solid state, exhibiting a low vapor pressure, and is then heated to moderate temperatures inside the focused ion beam system without presenting a toxic hazard. The low reactivity of the iodine enables a high degree of contrast in reaction between the area struck by the ion beam and adjoining areas whereby accurate micromachining can be accomplished.

Abstract: A bandmill has first and second wheels and an endless saw blade trained about the wheels. The wheels are mounted to rotate about respective axes which lie in a common plane, but the first wheel is adjustable in position relative to the second wheel with respect to both its distance from the second wheel and its orientation relative to the second wheel. A tensioning mechanism is effective to force the first wheel away from the second wheel, while maintaining the axes of rotation of the two wheels substantially parallel, in response to a signal which is provided by a load cell and represents the tension in the saw blade. A wheel tilt mechanism is effective to adjust the angular position of the first wheel relative to the second wheel in response to a signal indicating the path followed by the saw blade, for maintaining the blade on a proper path.

Abstract: A vacuum sewer arrangement comprises a valve controlled air inlet duct to let air into the vacuum sewer at a position downstream of the sewer valve. The sewer valve can then be closed immediately after the sewage has passed into the vacuum sewer, because the air required for the sewage transport is received from the air inlet duct. Hence, the amount of air that flows into the sewer through the sewer valve when the sewer valve opens is small, and when the sewer valve is closed, air flows through the air inlet duct into the sewer, which reduces the pressure difference acting on the sewer valve. These measures tend to considerably reduce the noise level. In the case of a vacuum toilet sewer arrangement, the noise level can be further reduced by providing the toilet bowl with a lid forming a substantially airtight and soundproof closure at the top of the bowl.
