Abstract: A field effect transistor current mode differential logic circuit comprising load transistors for converting the current output of each differential leg current to voltage output, and means for configuring the bulk of each differential leg's load transistor to be connected to the drain of the load transistor for use the logic circuit in Subthreshold Source Coupled Logic (STSCL) mode, and means for configuring the bulk of each leg load transistor to be connected to a voltage or to source of the same transistor for use in MOS current more logic (MCML) operation.

Abstract: An apparatus, comprising a clock adapted to provide a clock signal alternating with a cycle between a first level and a second level if a timing violation is not detected; a first latch adapted to be clocked such that it passes a first signal when the clock signal is at the first level; a second combinational logic adapted to output a second signal based on the first signal passed through the first latch; a second latch adapted to be clocked such that it passes the second signal when the clock signal is at the second level; a detecting means adapted to detect the timing violation of at least one of the first signal and of the second signal; a time stretching means adapted to stretch, if the timing violation is detected, the clock such that the clock alternates between the first level and the second level with a delay.

Abstract: A biodegradable BB pellet includes an organic material and an inorganic material. Therein, the organic material includes a main ingredient polybutylene-1,4-succinate, while the inorganic material is selected from pulvis talci powder, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, mica powder, and zinc powder. The manufacturing method of the present invention is mixing the organic material and the inorganic material into a mixture, and processing the mixture orderly through injection molding, grinding, waxing and polishing. Thereby, the present invention is degradable by the environment and prevented from polluting environment. Also, due to the properties of better toughness, flexibility, and higher heat tolerance, the present invention is prevented from bursting to hurt other people and deforming during long-distance transportation.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of biodegradable net-shaped articles includes: (a) preparing a biodegradable mixture; (b) granulating the mixture into plastic grains; (c) baking the plastic grains in an oven at 60° C. to 70° C. for 3 to 4 hours; (d) melting and extruding the plastic grains by a screw-type extruder so as to obtain a net-shaped preform; and (e) cooling and thereby finalizing the net-shaped preform in a cooling bath at 15° C. to 30° C. so as to obtain the net-shaped article.

Abstract: A Machine for preparing coffee comprising a infusion chamber to house at least a coffee dose, and means for feeding pressurized water to said infusion chamber, said means comprising a cylinder and plunger assembly, said plunger defining inside the cylinder a chamber to house a preset quantity of water, and said plunger being able to accumulate, in an active position, potential energy capable of being transmitted as a pressure to the water of said chamber, when said plunger contacts, in said active position, with the water of said chamber. It is characterized in that said infusion chamber is placed adjacent below the water chamber of said cylinder, both chambers including at least one hole through which, once opened, passes the pressurized water to said infusion chamber, said plunger moving back to the rest position inside said chamber as pressurized water is fed through said hole.

Abstract: An article includes: a biodegradable textile material which includes a liquid absorbent layer made of a fiber material selected from rayon, cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers; and a liquid-impermeable layer bonded to the liquid absorbent layer, and made from a biodegradable composition including polybutylene succinate as a major component.

Abstract: The invention relates to rimless eyeglasses comprising a bridge (13) interconnecting two lenses (V), and two side branches (11) connected to respective side zones of the corresponding lenses (V). In accordance with the invention, each side branch (11) essentially presents a wire structure comprising two main portions (11.1, 11.2) extending towards the rear or said branch, said main portions extending forwards, passing through two through holes (21, 22) in the lens (V), and being connected together in the vicinity of the front face of said lens by a front portion (11.3), a flexible bushing (15) being interposed in each through hole (21; 22) in order to clamp the associated main portion (11.1; 11.2) so as to hold the side branch (11) in place on the corresponding lens (V).

Abstract: The invention relates to eyeglasses of the rimless type comprising a bridge interconnecting the two eyeglass lenses, and two side branches of wire structure connected to respective side zones of the corresponding lenses, each side branch having a main portion together with a distal end extending said main portion and arranged to fasten to the side zone of the lens, said distal end being generally J-shaped. In accordance with the invention, each side branch is fitted with a hinge that is arranged so that the section and the profile of the side branch in its deployed position are generally continuous, thereby enabling it to pass through a through hole in the lens so as to enable said side branch to be put into place merely by being threaded, while in its deployed position, through the lens from its front face.
