Abstract: Plate members 17 are respectively rested on first and second tables IA and IB relatively movable toward and away from each other. The plate members 17 are caused to abut against reference positioning members 16a and 16b of reference positioning devices protruded ahead of and over opposing ends 1? of the tables IA and IB so that opposing ends of the plate members 17 are positioned in protrusion ahead of the opposing ends 1? of the tables IA and IB, and the plate members 17 are positioned laterally. Then, the positioned plate members 17 are locked on the tables IA and IB. After the reference positioning devices are retracted, the tables IA and IB are relatively moved toward each other to cause the opposing ends of the plate members 17 to abut together for formation of weld line X.

Abstract: Plate members 17 are respectively rested on first and second tables 1A and 1B relatively movable toward and away from each other. The plate members 17 are caused to abut against reference positioning members 16a and 16b of reference positioning devices protruded ahead of and over opposing ends 1? of the tables 1A and 1B so that opposing ends of the plate members 17 are positioned ahead of the opposing ends 1? of the tables 1A and 1B, and the plate members 17 are positioned laterally. Then, the positioned plate members 17 are locked on the tables 1A and 1B. After the reference positioning devices are retracted, the tables 1A and 1B are relatively moved toward each other to cause the opposing ends of the plate members 17 to abut together for formation of weld line X.

Abstract: It is made possible to position plate members to be butt-welded for formation of weld line in a small amount of time so as to enhance working capacity of butt welding. Plate members 17 are respectively rested on first and second tables 1A and 1B relatively movable toward and away from each other.

Abstract: (1) CF.sub.2 .dbd.CFO(CF.sub.2).sub.n COOR is allowed to react with chlorine or bromine to obtain CF.sub.2 XCFXO(CF.sub.2).sub.n COOR', (2) which is allowed to react with a Grignard reagent MgBrC.sub.6 H.sub.3 (CH.sub.3).sub.2 to convert the terminal group to --COC.sub.6 H.sub.3 (CH.sub.3).sub.2, (3) followed by reaction with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride to convert --COC.sub.6 H.sub.3 (CH.sub.3).sub.2 to --CF.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.3 (CH.sub.3).sub.2, (4) followed further by oxidation of the resulting methyl group and by esterification to convert the methyl group to --CF.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.3 (COOR).sub.2 and (5) followed by dechlorination or debromination to obtain CF.sub.2 .dbd.CFO(CF.sub.2).sub.n CF.sub.2 C.sub.6 H.sub.3 (COOR).sub.2. The resulting bifunctional vinyl ether compound having an aromatic ring is a novel compound and can be used as a copolymer component for fluorine-containing elastomers.

Abstract: A system of adding an operand address included in an instruction word to the contents of a modification register to obtain an effective address, wherein address data which designates each of a plurality of data tables constituted with prescribed storage capacity, is stored in a plurality of modification registers. Prescribed address data of one of the plurality of modification registers is selected based on the instruction word. The effective address for addressing the operand is obtained by adding the prescribed address data of the one of the plurality of modification registers to address data included in the operand address. The address data included in the operand address designates addresses which correspond to addresses of the plurality of data tables.

Abstract: A multichannel communication processing system having line control apparatus means for analyzing receiving frames and channel-controlling transmitting frames, DMA control apparatus for transferring the data not via a host processor but directly to a main memory, a memory for storing a variety of data and a communication protocol processing program, a CPU for controlling the communication processing system as a whole and line correspondence apparatus including line correspondence units provided between the lines and the line control apparatus whereby serial interfaces with channels of the plurality of lines are effected.

Abstract: A data transfer controller having a plurality of data transfer channels, each having burst-number registers for prescribing the numbers of data transfer words in the individual channels, a total-burst-number register for prescribing the number of continuous data transfer words extending over at least two of the channels, and control means for performing a control for acquiring a bus mastership upon receiving a signal of the status of any of the channels capable of transferring data, for controlling the numbers of continuous data transfer words in the individual channels on the basis of the set values of the burst-number registers, respectively, and for maintaining the bus mastership for any other channel in the status capable of transferring data, until the numbers of the continuous data transfer words after the acquisition of the bus mastership reaches the set value of the total-burst-number register.

Abstract: A high-speed diode with a PNN.sup.+ structure has a breakdown voltage of about 200 V, a forward voltage drop of 0.9 V or less, a reverse recovery time of 50 nsec or less, and a soft recovery characteristic, by making the impurity concentration in the surface of a P-layer equal to or less than 8.times.10.sup.18 atoms/cc, putting the thickness of the P-layer in a range from 2 to 6 .mu.m, putting the resistivity of an N-layer in a range from 5 to 12.OMEGA.-cm, putting the thickness of the N-layer in a range from 19 to 25 .mu.m, and putting the carrier lifetime in the N-layer in a range from 20 to 40 nsec.
