Abstract: Arithmetic processing circuits in a circuit in a floating point processor having a fused multiply/ADD circuitry. In order to avoid waiting cycles in the normalizer of the floating point arithmetic, control logic calculates in an extremely early state of the overall Multiply/Add processing. Parts of the intermediate add result are significant and have to be selected in the pre-normalizer multiplexer to be fed to the normalizer by counting the leading zero bits (LZB) of the addend in a dedicated circuit right at the beginning of the pipe. LZB is added to the shift amount (SA) that is calculated to align the addend and is then compared with the width of the incrementer. If the sum of (SA+LZB) is larger than the width of the incrementer, which is a constant value, then no significant bits are in the high-part of the intermediate result, and the pre-normalizer multiplexer selects the data from a second predetermined position, otherwise from a first predetermined position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dry-running piston compressor, in particular for rail vehicles. Said compressor comprises a crankcase (3) for a crankshaft (15) that is rotatably mounted in said crankcase, the latter being provided with at least one pot-type cylinder (4a-4c) comprising a corresponding internal piston (12a, 12e). According to the invention, the crankshaft (15) is connected to one end of a connecting rod (14a, 14c) by means of a connecting rod hearing (16), which forms the first hearing point, in order to convert the rotational displacement into a linear displacement for the piston (12a, 12c) that is mounted at the other end of the connecting rod (14a, 14c) by means of a piston pin bearing (17), which forms the second bearing point. At least one lubricating nipple (18a, 18c) is mounted on the exterior of each connecting rod (14a, 14c) for relubricating the bearing point(s).

Abstract: Determining and correcting registration errors, which are caused by the rotational speed of a print cylinder changing because of a sheet passing between the print cylinder and a sheet transport conveyor belt. At least one first registration mark is applied onto the conveyor belt prior to a sheet being transported thereby, and at least one second registration mark is applied onto the conveyor belt after the transported sheet. By the detection of the first registration mark and the second registration mark, a calculation of a timing number between the detection of the first registration mark and the second registration mark can be made. The calculated timing number is compared to a target value to determine any error due to change in angular velocity of the print cylinder due to engagement with the sheet.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser comprises a container for supporting liquid, and has a dispensing end with an opening. A reservoir is located in the container and is connected to the opening, and means are provided for channeling liquid into the reservoir. Liquid is propelled from the dispenser by squeezing resiliently depressable portions of the dispenser. The reservoir may take the form of a bowl-like structure or may retain liquid by cohesive and adhesive forces. The dispenser may also include a nozzle and a rest for resting the dispenser against a suitable surface when squeezing the dispenser.
