Abstract: A zipper tape is provided which can freely be used regardless of whether the zipper tape is made from a polypropylene-based resin or a polyethylene-based resin and also on which letters can be printed or any color can be given thereto. A method of producing the zipper tape with high productivity by means of extruding male strips and female strips in rows in a batch is provided. The zipper tape (2) with the mating section (3) (the male strip (3a) and the female strip (3b)) formed thereon has a three-layered structure comprising the heat-insulating film (6) as an intermediate layer, the thermally fused film (7) thermally fused and bonded to one side of the heat-insulating film (6) of the bag (5), and the thermally fused film (8) for formation of a mating section bonded to another side of the bag (5).

Abstract: Data relating to the status of users 12 in a mobile communications system is broadcast via satellite 8 from a network register 4 to local registers 10 in an HDLC format. Each of the local registers 10 requests retransmission of any HDLC frames which are incorrectly received. The network register 4 records the earliest transmitted frame not yet acknowledged by all of the local registers and inhibits transmission of new frames if they fall outside a transmission window relative to the earliest transmitted frame. The network register 4 polls the local registers 10 for retransmission requests and the local registers 10 also send unsolicited requests to the network register 4. The network register 4 only retransmits a frame once if multiple requests for that frame are transmitted within a predetermined period. When a new local register 10 enters the broadcast reception group, the network register 4 informs the new local register 10 which new frame will next be transmitted.

An extrusion lamination method using a polarizing resin not requiring any anchor coating agent may be used for the formation of a heat-sealable resin layer.

Abstract: An interface between a data terminal and a digital communications link implements protocols and frame formats designed to reduce delays in a data communication with a remote terminal. The interface overcomes the need to send or receive an HDLC SABME or UA control signal, and allows data to be sent over the digital communications link as soon as the communication parameters are established. In a non-ARQ (error correction) mode, the interface sends control signals and data over the communications link in frames subdivided into many small subframes of fixed length, each subframe having a length code. The interface, when arranged for connection to the data terminal through a telephone network, encodes call progress signals from the telephone network for sending over the digital communications link. The interface encodes and decodes interrupt signals for sending between the data terminal and the digital communications link when an interrupt signal is detected.

Abstract: An interface between a data terminal and a digital communications link implements protocols and frame formats designed to reduce delays in a data communication with a remote terminal. The interface overcomes the need to send or receive an HDLC SABME or UA control signal for establishing an asynchronous balanced mode, and allows data to be sent over the digital communications link as soon as the communication parameters are established. In a non-ARQ (error correction) mode, the interface sends control signals and data over the communications link in frames subdivided into many small subframes of fixed length, each subframe having a length code indicating an amount of valid information but without CRC, address or control information. The interface, when arranged for connection to the data terminal through a telephone network, encodes call progress signals from the telephone network for sending over the digital communications link.

Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus for an automotive vehicle comprises: a compressor (101) driven by an engine (101) for compressing a refrigerant; an evaporator (103) for evaporating the refrigerant compressed by the compressor; engine speed commanding section (104) for outputting a first command signal to drive the engine at a first engine idle speed when the compressor is not actuated and outputting a second command signal to drive the engine at a second engine idle speed higher than the first engine idle speed when the compressor is actuated; an after-evaporator temperature sensor (105) for detecting air temperature Immediately after the evaporator; an external air temperature sensor (106) for detecting external air temperature; and an inhibiting section (107) for inhibiting the engine speed commanding section from outputting the second command signal, when after-evaporator temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature and further external air temperature is lower than another predetermined temperature

Abstract: In an engine idle speed control system associated with an air conditioner provided with an evaporator for evaporating a refrigerant compressed by a compressor actuated or deactuated by an engine near an evaporator freeze limit temperature, the engine idle speed is increased under consideration of thermal load applied to the compressor whenever the compressor is being actuated. The compressor 21 is deactuated when the temperature of air having passed through the evaporator 22 drops below a predetermined value, and actuated when the same temperature rises beyond another higher predetermined value. Whenever the compressor 21 has been deactuated, the time interval between the deactuation and the actuation of the compressor is measured. If the measured time interval is relatively short, since this indicates a relatively high thermal load applied to the compressor, the engine idle speed is increased.
