Abstract: A flow controller (1), comprising a valve body (4) having flow paths forming an inlet and an outlet of fluid, a diaphragm (6) held fixedly between the valve body and a bonnet (5), and an operating mechanism (7) moving the diaphragm vertically, wherein the valve body flow paths communicate with each other through a projection-free communication path (8), the a diaphragm is formed so that, when lowering, it comes into close contact with the communication path so that it closes the flow path and, when rising, the center part thereof is recessed so that an area near the outer peripheral part is raised, and a curved surface (52), to which the outer upper surface (63) of the raised part is closely fitted, is formed on a bonnet on the inner lower surface of a diaphragm holding part (51).

Abstract: A fluid controller (1), having a valve body (4) having flow paths used as inlet and outlet for a bonnet (5), and an operating mechanism (7) moving the diaphragm in vertical direction, wherein the flow paths of the valve body communicates with each other through a protrusion-free communication path (8), the diaphragm is fitted closely to the communication path when lowered so as to close the flow path and, when raised, the center part of the diaphragm is recessed and its part near the outer periphery part is protruded, and also a curved surface (52) to which the outer upper surface (63) of the protruded part is closely fitted is formed on the bonnet at the inner lower surface of a diaphragm holding part (51).

Abstract: The present invention provides an ISDN-containing patch that causes minimal occurrence of skin rash and has excellent percutaneous absorption and adhesive strength. The present invention discloses an isorbide dinitrate-containing patch comprising: an adhesive layer formed on a flexible support, wherein said layer comprises an adhesive composition containing adhesive and isosorbide dinitrate, the adhesive being composed of silicone-based adhesive (A) and polyvinyl acetate-based adhesive (B), their weight ratio being A:B=85:15 to 15:85, and the weight ratio of isosorbide dinitrate (C) to the adhesives (A+B) being (A+B):C=90:10 to 60:40.

Abstract: Intercommunication of data between adjacent element processors (3) is performed through a memory unit (6) which is independently accessible to the respective element processors (3) without interfere with the operations of the other element processors (3). Thus, memory access and data transfer can be achieved without interfere with the operations of individual element processor (3). Furthermore, it becomes possible to solve differential equations by asynchronous communication system.

Abstract: A process of core molding is disclosed, which permits increasing the positioning accuracy of a base core and a bonded core relative to each other and also avoids handling the first molded base core outside the die to preclude such trouble as breakage of the common die. By the process, a complete core is obtained, which comprises a base core and a bonded core positioned in and bonded to the base core. The base core is molded in a molding space which is defined by engaging a die element and a common die with each other. After removing the die element from the common die while leaving the molded base core in the common die, a different die element is engaged with the common die to define a different molding space for molding a bonded core. The bonded core is bonded to the base core as it is molded.

Abstract: A horizontal synchronizing signal is counted by a binary counter. A first switch is switched in response to the count value, whereby signal data is classified. A sampling clock signal is counted by a binary counter. An output of the first switch is switched by second and third switches in response to the count value, whereby the data input rate of signal data is reduced. Each classified signal is subjected to filtering by a two-dimensional FIR digital filter.

Abstract: A signal input in a raster scan format is entered into one-dimensional digital filters. An output of the one-dimensional digital filter is multiplied in a multiplier. Outputs of one-dimensional digital filters are provided to delay circuits to generate a time delay in a direction perpendicular to the raster scan direction. The output of the multiplier and the outputs of the delay circuits are added by adders. A one-dimensional digital filter of the vertical direction is decomposed in a manner more simple than in the horizontal direction to reduce delay time between input and output.

Abstract: A polyphase induction motor is driven from an inverter having a set of switches activated in prescribed on-off patterns to provide forward and reverse voltage vectors and a zero vector for controllably energizing the motor. Memories are provided on which there are written forward voltage vector data for forwardly energizing the motor, reverse voltage vector data for reversely energizing the motor, and zero vector data for de-energizing the motor. The voltage vector data and zero vector data are selectively read out from the memories in order to cause the inverter to generate in real time the corresponding voltage vectors and zero vectors needed for the motor to be quickly revolved to, and set out of rotation exactly in, a desired angular position. For such optimum motor speed control an ideal control curve is predefined which represents the ideal relationship between the motor speed and the difference between the actual and the desired angular position of the motor.
