  • Patent number: 6366877
    Abstract: A reception/transmission circuit 20 receives and transmits data from and to a keyboard 16 and mouse 18. An output buffer 42 temporarily stores data from the keyboard 16 and mouse 18 while an input buffer 44 temporarily stores data from BIOS 100 and an interrupt handler 110. A status register 46 stores status data, and port registers 48 and 50 transmit a given data to an external means. An interrupt generating circuit 60 generates SMI# for CPU 10. An emulation handler 120 is activated by SMI# for executing a given emulation. Instead of the reception/transmission circuit 20, a USB controller or IEEE1394 controller may be provided. It is desirable that the system emulates processing of a processor in the 8042 or keyboard.

  • Patent number: 5318649
    Abstract: A laminate comprising a soft polyolefin resin layer, an ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester-maleic anhydride terpolymer resin layer, and a soft urethane foam resin layer is disclosed. The laminate is produced by a process comprising co-extruding a soft polyolefin resin and an ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester-maleic anhydride terpolymer resin to prepare a two-layer sheet and continuously laminating a soft urethane foam fabricated in a stratiform state on the ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester-maleic anhydride terpolymer resin layer by hot pressing. The laminate has a satisfactory appearance, toughness, a soft touch, and a cushioning effect.

  • Patent number: 5212011
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive tape which is low in cost and the properties of which such as unwindability, adhesiveness, trimmed clearance, printability, transparency and longitudinal tearing strength are improved without spoiling lateral hand cutting characteristics, wherein a smooth surface is formed on one side of a polyolefin resin base film and an uneven surface is formed on the other side thereof, the latter being coated with an adhesive and having an uneven depth of 0.03-0.30 mm and an uneven interval of 0.5-5.0 mm, the melt index of polyolefin resin being 0.2-20 g/10 min. and a surface wetting tension of the smooth surface of the polyolefin resin base film being less than 30 Dyn/cm and that of the uneven surface being more than 35 Dyn/cm.
