Patent number: 5821473Abstract: A method of forming and attaching a silencer to a blower pipe involves a silencer that has an inner pipe with many silencer holes and a sound absorption material extending longitudinally around its outer periphery. The blower pipe may be connected to a blower so that a high speed air stream passe through an interior of the inner pipe. The method has the steps of forming the inner pipe by resilient deformation of a flexible member (such as a pair of thin plates or a helically-formed flexible strip) that has a stress-free length preventing it from inserted into the blower pipe without first being deformed. Then, the resiliently-deformed flexible member is introduced into the blower pipe, and the silencer is attached to the blower pipe using a resilient restoring force that was caused by the resilient deformation.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1997Date of Patent: October 13, 1998Assignee: Kioritz CorporationInventor: Kazunori Takahashi

Patent number: 5210849Abstract: In a cache memory simultaneously conducting updating for a miss and a decision on a miss for the subsequent address, a write flag generated by a control unit is written in a valid flag field. Based on this operation, during an access to an external memory at an occurrence of a miss, a tag field and the valid flag field are simultaneously updated. When updating a data field, a read operation is achieved on the tag and valid flag fields to decide occurrence of miss. Thus, an external memory access for a miss at a next address can be executed at an earlier point of time. Moreover, by the provision of a data latch disposed for an output from the data field, and by reading data at a next address and keeping it in the data latch during a memory read cycle, succeeding hit data can be outputted immediately after a miss processing is completed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1990Date of Patent: May 11, 1993Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazunori Takahashi, Tokuzo Kiyohara
