Abstract: A drive mechanism for an automatic rear-view mirror assembly of a motor-driven folding type. The driving mechanism includes an electric motor fixed on a mirror housing. The mirror housing is supported rotatably on a shaft fixed to a mirror base which is secured to a vehicle body in such a manner that it can be turned between a normal and retracted position by the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a motor and a gear reducer composed of a plurality of planetary gear units. The planetary gear units include a sun gear connected to an output of the motor, and a group of transmission gears including a first spur gear mounted fixedly on the shaft and a second spur gear connected to an output shaft and meshed with the first spur gear. The reduction gear includes a first casing which houses the planetary gear units on the same shaft and has a ring gear common to these planetary gear units, provided on its inner circumferential surface.

Abstract: In a data processing system which is for use in combination with at least one peripheral device and comprises an input-output processor connected to a first and a second bus, a main memory connected to the first bus, a peripheral controller connected to the second bus and the peripheral device, and a central processor connected to the first bus and coupled to the second bus through the input-output processor, the peripheral controller requests data transfer between the main memory and the peripheral device. For this purpose, the peripheral controller produces a translation request signal in response to a channel command which is stored in a local memory of the peripheral controller from the main memory through the input-output processor and indicates the data transfer.

Abstract: A consistency ensuring system has at least one main memory and a plurality of processors each having a corresponding instruction cache memory and operand cache memory. Each of the plurality of processors includes a flush address array device, an address converting device, a signal generating device and a flush address array invalidating device. The flush address array device maintains a copy of an address array to be looked up for invalidating a block of data in the cache memories of the corresponding processor in response to storing a corresponding block of data into the main memory from another processor. The address converting device converts a virtual address to a real address and updates a page table word after address conversion and storage of the updated page table word in the main memory but not in the corresponding cache memories. The signal generating device generates a page table word store notice signal when the address converting device stores the updated page table into the main memory.

Abstract: A wedge-type lamp bulb assembly consists of a bulb containing a filament and a wedge-shaped base extending from the bulb. Several lead wires connected to the filament are led out from the bottom of the wedge-shaped base, and folded along the front and rear sides of the wedge-shaped base. There are provided inside the socket in which the wedge-shaped base is removably held a plurality of terminals which are in resilient contact with the lead wires, and a pair of guide protrusions is formed on the inner walls of the socket along the inserting direction of the wedge-type lamp bulb. There is formed on the front and rear sides of the wedge-shaped base in positions corresponding to the pair of guide protrusions a pair of protrusions defining guide ways through which the guide protrusions are passed. Thus, the wedge-type bulb can be easily assembled into the socket and also securely held therein.

Abstract: The projection lights including the red and infrared lights are projected from a light projecting device (3) onto a reflex reflector (7) arranged at a position which is away from the light projecting device by a predetermined distance. The reflex reflector reflects the red light and absorbs the infrared light. The reflected lights from the reflex reflector or an object to be detected are detected by a photo sensitive device (4). The photo sensitive device individually detects the red light and infrared light and outputs two light detection signals. The sum of the light detection signals is compared with the first threshold value. The difference between the light detection signals is compared with the second threshold value. An object detection signal is formed on the basis of the logical arithmetic operation of the results of the comparison.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for growing an extended length single crystal of a Group III-V or II-VI material such as GaAs by moving a crucible containing a seed crystal and precompounded crystal material encapsulated in a molten encapsulant preferably vertically in a multi-zone furnace between two furnace zones maintained at temperatures above the melting point of the encapsulant but below the melting point of the crystal material through an intervening short "spike" zone maintained at a temperature at least equal to the melting temperature of the crystal material to crystallize the precompounded crystal material with the seed crystal, and tipping the crucible in the furnace, e.g. by tipping the furnace with the crucible in it, to decant the encapsulant prior to recovering the crystal.

Abstract: The door mirror according to the present invention is a so-called tiltable door mirror for vehicles. The bearing member to bear the shaft of the mirror base which is to be fixed to the vehicle door is formed integrally with the synthetic resin-made mirror housing. The bearing member is formed as a bearing cylinder inside the mirror housing. Being in contact with the bearing surface of the bearing cylinder, the shaft pivotably supports the mirror housing. There is provided between the inner wall of the bearing cylinder and the shaft a U-shaped leaf spring which is in contact at the one end thereof with the inner wall of the bearing cylinder and at the other end with the flat surface formed at a part of the shaft, whereby the friction generated under the action of the leaf spring helps to block the mirror housing from pivoting and thus the mirror housing can be held in the normal position. The shaft has disposed at the end thereof a stopper to prevent the mirror housing from moving axially of the shaft.

Abstract: Polymers comprising perfluoralkyl groups, reproduction layers containing these polymers and use thereof for waterless offset printing. The novel perfluoralkyl group-containing polymers comprise polymers or polycondensates and have, in each case as substituents on different carbon atoms of benzene rings, phenolic OH groups and perfluoroalkyl groups which are optionally attached through intermediate members. In particular, at least 10% of the polymer units carry perfluoroalkyl groups. These polymers are either formed by condensation of substituted phenols (e.g., 4-hydroxybenzoic acid-perfluoroalkyl ester) with an aldehyde, a ketone, or a reactive bismethylene compound or by reacting polymers containing phenolic OH groups (e.g., hydroxypolystyrene) or polycondensates containing reactive OH groups (e.g., phenol-formaldehyde resins) with a perfluoroalkyl group-containing compound (e.g., 2,2-dihydroperfluorodecanoic acid chloride).
