Abstract: This invention essentially consists of a padded blanket surrounding an animal, to which are attached lifting and controlling devices. Lift and some control are provided by ropes on an axle which is turned by a wheel sufficiently large to provide the desired mechanical advantage, or pulleys attached to a fixed beam above the pulleys. Further control is achieved by ropes or straps originating on both sides of the blanket and attached at their distal ends to the vertical supporting structure on each side.

Abstract: An output circuit having an output switch controlled by a current steering means which steers the emitter current from the selected memory storage location to the output switch as a function of magnitude to provide an appropriate logic voltage output. An enable switch interconnects the storage matrix and the output circuit.A fusing circuit includes a current sink connected in parallel with the output circuit for developing sufficient current through a selected storage location whenever a voltage is applied at the output and the operating voltage for the memory storage matrix is raised.

Abstract: A CMOS oscillator including a first pair of series connected CMOS devices and second pair of series connected CMOS devices, a resistance connected to the source of one of said MOS devices of the first pair having a width to length ratio greater than the width to length ratio of the corresponding device of the second pair, and a series resonant frequency determining network. The resistance and the larger W/L MOS device determine the steady state operating current independent of other circuit elements. The gates of the one MOS device and corresponding MOS devices are connected to the drain of the corresponding device and the other MOS devices are connected as current mirrors.

Abstract: A construction in the shape of an octahedron assembles from a plurality of three dimensional U-shaped or V-shaped constructional elements or "pieces." Six identical U-shaped or V-shaped pieces form a single octahedron. Two V-shaped pieces may also form a smaller octahedron. The U-shaped and V-shaped pieces, each having trapezoidal surfaces, can also be used to assemble a variety of non-octahedral constructions. Preferably, the triangular faces of six-piece octahedral constructions are each composed of three trapezoidal surfaces.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display is multiplexed by the digit input being driven between a first and second voltage level and the segment input being driven between the second and a third voltage level. The difference between the first and third voltage level is sufficient to activate the liquid crystal device. For AC liquid crystal displays, a polarity reversal circuit, driven by a low frequency signal, is included for both the digit input and the segment input to cause the digit input to vary between the second and third voltage level while the segment input varies between the first and second voltage level.

Abstract: A crack free layer of GaP is epitaxially deposited on a silicon phosphide surface of a silicon substrate having an (III) orientation. The silicon substrate is prebaked on a carbide coated susceptor with palladium diffused hydrogen at about 1200.degree. C and pretreated with phosphine at about 1140.degree. C to form the silicon phosphide surface. The temperature is lowered to 800.degree.-900.degree. C in the presence of phosphine and trimethyl gallium is introduced at a ratio of 1 to 10 with the phosphine. Cracks in the gallium phosphide are prevented by roughing the bottom non-phosphide surface of the silicon substrate such that the roughed surface is under compressive stress and induces tensile stress on the phosphided surface to reduce the compressive stress reduced by gallium phosphide layer when the substrate is annealed at about 1200.degree. C.

Abstract: A control circuit for a stepping motor is provided which rotates the motor armature in such a manner as to minimize motor resonances while not appreciably reducing the motor torque at high speeds. The motor inherently possesses a non-linear transfer function of current to flux and the circuit includes means responsive to an input signal for developing a position command signal which is a sinusoidal waveform modified by the inverse of the motor transfer function. Further means are provided responsive to the position command signal for developing an energization signal for the stepping motor including means responsive to the position command signal and motor field current for terminating a motor energization cycle.
