Abstract: A switching power supply includes an active device for pulling out a part of a control signal from a control terminal of the switching device in an RCC, and a control signal generation circuit that applies adjustment voltage as ON/OFF time control voltage to a control terminal of the active device. The active device pulls out the control signal so as to decrease or increase an OFF time of the switching device while fixing the ON time of the switching device when the adjustment voltage is decreased or increased in the active region of the active device, respectively. An element of a timing circuit in the RCC pulls out the control signal so as to increase or decrease an ON time of the switching device while fixing the OFF time of the switching device when the adjustment voltage is decreased or increased in the cut-off region of the active device, respectively.

Abstract: A plurality of winding parts are wound around teeth of an iron core with insulators disposed therebetween, and a printed wiring board is electrically connected to the winding part with a plurality of terminal pins. Each terminal pin is extends along an axial direction of the iron core and is attached to one of the insulators. An end portion of each winding part is wound around one of the terminal pins, and the terminal pin is soldered to the printed wiring board together with the end portion of the winding part. The terminal pins extend through hole portions of the printed wiring board.

Abstract: An emitter electrode is cooled by a cooler to generate condensed water which is charged by a high voltage applied between the emitter electrode and an opposed electrode and is discharged as a mist of charged minute water particles. A controller is provided to vary a temperature drop to a predetermined minimum temperature in dependence of an environmental temperature detected by a temperature sensor. The temperature drop is made variable in proportion to the environmental temperature. Accordingly, a sufficient amount of water can be condensed on the emitter electrode simply by controlling the cooling of the emitter electrode without relying upon an environmental humidity.

Abstract: A resource allocation system for jobs includes: a timer for notifying switch of priority jobs in a priority period based on a predetermined processor priority allocation time of each job; a dispatcher for taking out a head process from a ready queue which is a queue of a process corresponding to a job selected as a priority job and being executable by an information processing system, for each job, based on the notification, and for allocating it to an instruction execution unit; and the instruction execution unit for executing an instruction of an executing process which is an allocated process.

Abstract: Store-and-forward relay equipment in which received data are temporarily stored in a buffer and then transmitted is provided. In the equipment, protection is performed with the limitation of the data part, which is not an object for substitution operation inside the equipment and has an unchanged content. As to the frame received, the part on which no operation is performed inside the equipment is determined, and the CRC for the part concerned is calculated. The obtained CRC is added to a CRC for inside the equipment in the frame. A data error produced inside the equipment is detected for the part on which no operation is performed. A data error produced in the header part of the substitution object in the equipment is not protected by the above CRC for inside the equipment. However, the header part is inspected through the protocol processing.

Abstract: A bushing has a cylindrical retaining member and an inner cylinder having an expanded portion which radially outwardly expands at its axially central portion to define a spherical outer surface. A pair of ring-shaped inserts, each having a concave inner surface, are slidably disposed in contact with the spherical outer surface of the expanded portion. A pair of outer cylinders are press-fitted into the retaining member from open ends thereof. An inside end surface of each outer cylinder abuts on an outside surface of each insert, thereby pushing each insert toward the expanded portion of the inner cylinder. A pair of cylindrical sealing members are disposed between the outer cylinders and the inner cylinder for providing a seal therebetween. An inside edge of the outer surface of each sealing member is bonded to the inner surface of each outer cylinder, and an outside edge of the inner surface of each sealing member is in sealing engagement with the outer surface of the inner cylinder.
