  • Patent number: 6891140
    Abstract: A sintering furnace for sintering an object to be sintered formed of ceramics, fine ceramic materials, etc. to produce a sintered object and a method therefor. An insulating wall (28) and an inner shell (25) define a sintering chamber (16) for sintering an object to be sintered (10). Thermal equilibrium is maintained between the inner shell (25) and the object to be sintered (10), and the object to be sintered (10) is completely pseudo-adiabatically isolated to achieve more uniform and small energy consuming sintering. The thickness of the insulating wall (28) increases gradually from an inlet (20) toward an outlet (21). The object to be sintered (10) is fed by a carriage provided in a sintering furnace from the inlet (20) to the outlet (21) in the sintering chamber (16). Thereby, a temperature distribution corresponding to a plurality of processes can be easily formed in one furnace to sinter continuously the object to be sintered (10) in the furnace.

  • Patent number: 4845655
    Abstract: A carry circuit used in an arithmetic unit, such as an adder or a subtractor, has to process a carry operation for producing a carry signal to be transferred to the following carry operation stage according to a carry signal transferred from the previous carry operation stage. To process this carry operation at a high speed, an improved carry circuit performs two operations before the carry signal from the previous stage is received. One of the operations is processed by using a signal representing that the carry signal from the previous stage is present. The other operation is processed by using another signal representing that the carry signal from the previous stage is absent. These two operations have been terminated when the carry signal from the previous stage is received. The carry signal from the previous stage is used to select either one of results of the two operations. Thus, transmission of a carry signal to the following stage can be performed at a high speed.
