Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining the functionality of circuitry contained within integrated circuit modules. A composite image signal is compiled from signals that each represent the image on one of a plurality of layers that are sequentially exposed across the module. A netlist presenting the components of the circuitry and the interconnections therebetween, is generated from the composite image signal. Components from the netlist are then allocated to specific functions which are compiled to determine the functionality of the circuitry.

Abstract: The invention herein provides an improved machine for mobile harvesting vegetables comprising a frame adapted to be connected to a tractor, and a collection bin mounted to the frame for collecting vegetables as they are harvested. The improvement comprises an automated control system for moving the vegetables relative to the frame in accordance with the position and amount of vegetables collected and for controlling the speed of such movement. Movement of the vegetables may be accomplished in a variety of ways, including moving a movably mounted collection bin or by moving an internal conveyor located in a collection bin.

Abstract: A digital microelectronic replacement package includes at least one buffer die in combination with a programmable device or memory. The buffer die performs the functions of impedance-matching, delay-matching, and voltage-matching, while the programmable device or memory can be used to emulate the logic and/or storage functions of the original digital microelectronic circuit; the package of the invention can be used as a direct replacement for a digital microelectronic circuit without the requirement that the original circuit board be redesigned to accommodate modern voltage, impedance, and delay specifications associated with the programmable device or memory.

Abstract: Apparatus for providing a direct indication of the failure of an electronic ircuit including a built-in self test circuit which performs an initial test on the electronic circuit and having a visual indicator coupled thereto which becomes activated when the self test circuit senses a failure of the electronic circuit upon power being supplied thereto or during operation. The electronic circuit with the built-in test feature consists of an integrated circuit chip or a multi-chip module encapsulated in a package with the indicator means visible therethrough. The indicator consists either of a light emitting diode or fusible material which changes its appearance and becomes visible through the package upon being activated by the built-in self test circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a plurality of individual books in a predetermined sequence includes a main conveyor having a plurality of spaced collating stations for receiving signatures. A plurality of feeders selectively feed signatures to the spaced collating stations as the main conveyor moves the plurality of spaced collating stations past the plurality of feeders to form the plurality of individual books in the predetermined sequence. A rejector rejects a defective book from the sequence of books leaving a space in the sequence of books. A reorderer causes the plurality of feeders to rebuild the rejected book. A first transferor transfers the sequence of books to a second conveyor to convey the sequence of books away from the main conveyor. The first transfer means is inhibited from transferring the reordered book from the main conveyor to the second conveyor.

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring a plurality of books from a binder conveyor to another conveyor. The apparatus includes a plurality of grippers for receiving the books from the binder conveyor and gripping the books. The apparatus includes a conveyor for moving the grippers at a first interval and a first orientation. The apparatus includes a device for rotating the grippers from the first orientation to a second orientation. The apparatus includes a device for changing the relative displacement of the grippers from the first interval to a second interval, different from the first interval. The apparatus includes a conveyor for moving the grippers at the second interval and the second orientation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a therapeutic product comprising an oestrogen and a pure antioestrogen for simultaneous, sequential or separate use in selective oestrogen therapy of perimenopausal or postmenopausal conditions; to a process for the manufacture of said product and to a pharmaceutical composition containing said product. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an oestrogen and a pure antioestrogen and to a process for the manufacture of said composition.

Abstract: Apparatus for stacking sheetlike articles of flexible material includes a stack follower engaging the trailing end of a stack to prevent separation of articles from the stack adjacent its trailing end as the edges of the articles drag across a guide surface during lowering movement of the stack.

Abstract: A stack top control method and apparatus includes sensing the vertical position of a top of signatures being stacked on a stacking platform at two spaced apart locations. Two belt assemblies tangentially contact at least a portion of opposed sides of the stack being formed adjacent the top locations being sensed. Each belt assembly is driven by a variable drive motor and applies a tangential, frictional drive force to the opposed sides of the stack being formed toward the stacking platform. A control circuit monitors the vertical position of the two spaced apart locations and controls the speed of each drive motor of the belt assemblies responsive to the sensed vertical position of the top of the signatures being formed into the stack. The top of the stack is thereby substantially leveled.

Abstract: New and useful stacking apparatus in which a stacker can form a stream of signatures into a stack, and also associate an end board with one end of the stack. Moreover, the stacker is associated with a clamping mechanism which, when it moves over to the stacker to clamp a stack of signatures, also brings an end board and deposits an end board on the stacker for association with a succeeding stack. The stacker has a main member which moves along a path between a stack receiving position and an end board receiving position. As the main member moves from the end board receiving position, the intermediate member moves out of its way. The stacker also has an interceptor for initiating formation of a stack and a unique way of transferring the partially formed stack from the interceptor to the main member.
