Abstract: A process for polymerizing acrylic monomers is disclosed. The process involves providing a reactor which is generally in the shape of a screw type reactor having temperature control means thereon. The reactor is continually charged with a supply of acrylic monomers having a viscosity of 10 poises or less at ordinary temperature. The acrylic monomers are continually moved through the reactor by turning of the screw within the reactor in order to cause the acrylic monomers to continually contact renewed surfaces within the reactor. The temperature in the reactor is controlled within two or more zones within the reactor in order to increase the viscosity of the acrylic monomers in the reactor by rapid polymerization within an initial area and then allow polymerization to proceed to one or more additional areas in the reactor to a prescribed rate of conversion. Polymerized product is continuously removed from the reactor.

The photoconductive composition comprises an organic photoconductive material and a urea compound, and may further contain a sensitizing dye capable of increasing the light sensitivity of the organic photoconductive material. The electrophotographic light-sensitive material comprises a support having an electrically conductive surface and a layer of the photoconductive composition, provided on the support. Typical urea compounds as used herein are represented by the general formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## (wherein all the symbols are described in the specification). The use of the urea compound increases the sensitivity of the organic photoconductive material making it possible to use the organic material in connection with the preparation of electrophotographic light-sensitive materials.

Abstract: Pulse signals of different weights are introduced from different input terminals into the present count system in a parallel fashion, respectively. Each number of the pulse signals of different weights are counted in a binary code notation. There is provided a weight information generator which generates weight signals, in a binary coded decimal notation, dependent upon the weight of the weighted pulse signals. Each of the weight signals are repeatedly added, each number of the repetition being identical with the counted number of the pulse signals of different weights introduced into the present system. A desired information may be obtained by totaling the results of these additions.

Abstract: A MOS logic circuit includes a source follower circuit arrangement consisting of a driver MOS element, in addition to a transfer MOS element, an inverter MOS element and a load MOS element. The transfer MOS element receives input signals at its source and produces output signals at its drain, the output signals being applied to the gate of the driver MOS element contained within the source follower circuit arrangement. The resulting output signals developed at the source of the driver MOS element are supplied to the inverter MOS element. This permits the slice or boundary level between the logical 1 and 0 to be higher than the given threshold level of the MOS elements.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an electronic digital clock made up of electronic components without using a chain of counters. The digital clock utilizes shift registers with a recirculation path for storing the time information as to hours, minutes and/or seconds and a computing circuit for repeatedly adding the time information one by one in accordance with a predetermined clock base frequency.
