Abstract: A polishing device having a table connected to a traction drive type reduction gear. The reduction gear includes an externally contacting shaft formed in a ring-shaped hollow cylinder and arranged at the center; a plurality of intermediate shafts which are equidistantly disposed at the circumference of the externally contacting shaft, at least one of which is an input shaft; and an internally contacting cylinder with which the intermediate shafts internally contact, and under free conditions, the externally contacting shaft formed in a hollow cylinder has a diameter which is a little bit larger than a diameter of an imaginary circle which externally contacts with a plurality of intermediate shafts whereby pressing load is created by means of deformation of the hollow cylinder.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for reducing audio signal noise in a communication system includes, biasing (214)an audio signal noise level beyond a transmission device (200) operating range to condition an audio signal intended to be received by a receiving device (400) having an operating range including the audio signal noise level.

Abstract: There are provided novel blue light-emitting organic electroluminescent polymers having a main chain consisting of 9,10-diphenylanthracene and vinylene, and electroluminescent devices using the same. With the introduction of substituents which are of high thermal stability and are capable of steric hindrance at the alpha position of the vinyl group, the electroluminescent polymers make it easy to conduct inter- and intra-molecular energy transfer, and the injection and transportation of holes or electrons, as well as restraining &pgr;-stacking between polymer chains. Also, the prevention of intermolecular two- and three-dimensional interference by the introduced bulky substituents leads to reduced extinction of excitons, whereby the organic electroluminescent device can emit blue light at high luminous efficiency.

Abstract: An automated method of analyzing crosstalk in a digital logic integrated circuit on a digital computer is described. The method uses available software to make an extracted, parameterized netlist from a layout of the integrated circuit. The netlist has gate and black box invocations as well as transistor invocations. Library models are used to find driving resistances and capacitances associated with the gate and black-box invocations. For at least one potential victim wire of the plurality of wires, a subset of the wires of the chip are found to be potential aggressor wires to the victim wire. The aggressor wires are combined into a common aggressor. A risetime of the common aggressor is calculated and used to calculate the magnitude of coupled noise on the victim wire induced by the aggressor wires. An alarm threshold for each potential victim wire is determined based upon the type of logic gate that receives the victim wire.

The outer tooth gear has a center axis offset at an offset amount from the center axis of the inner tooth gear, and revolvable while being held in sliding and meshing contact with the inner tooth gear with the center axis of the outer tooth gear moving on a revolution orbit encircling and spaced from the center axis of the inner tooth gear at a distance equal to the offset amount.

Abstract: A three-wheeled vehicle has an auxiliary steering system which is made up of a front frame, a rear frame, a bearing element, a gear set, and a transmission element. The gear set comprises a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is fastened with the front frame while the second gear is fastened rotatably with the rear frame such that the second gear is engageable directly or indirectly with the first gear. The front frame can be caused to swivel in relation to the rear frame by means of the second gear which is actuated by an angular motion of the front fork of the vehicle when the handlebar of the vehicle is turned. The transmission element serves to transmit the angular motion of the front fork to the second gear. The auxiliary steering system is therefore capable of causing the center of gravity of a rider of the vehicle in motion to move toward a direction in which the handlebar of the vehicle is turned, thereby causing the centrifugal force exerting on the vehicle rider to be canceled out.
