Abstract: A receiving apparatus is provided for receiving a serial signal composed of a sequence of signals transmitted through a transmission medium. In the receiving apparatus, a receiving circuit receives as a received signal a serial signal, which is a sequence of signals including at least one of a synchronizing signal and an information signal, and which includes a plurality of signals being the same as each other and being apart from each other by a predetermined time interval. Then, a delaying circuit generates a delayed signal by delaying the received signal by the predetermined time interval, and a multiplying circuit generates a multiplied signal by multiplying the received signal by the delayed signal. Finally, a detecting circuit detects at least one of the synchronizing signal and the information signal, based on the multiplied signal.

Abstract: A communication control method for sequentially allocating transmitting rights to a plurality of nodes commonly connected to a single transmission line, wherein each of the nodes forms, when the own node has a transmitting right and when the own node has no data to be transmitted, a predetermined period of a no signal state in which any signal is not transmitted to the transmission line, whereby the circulating time of the transmitting rights from the node having the minimum node number to the node having the maximum node number can be shortened.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sequential controller in which the step of control sequence for controlling various process control devices is advanced by a step advance unit basing on the time count by an answer-back timer. The controller includes an input check unit in which input collating check units provided for individual inputs to the control devices implement individual checking at each control step so as to detect abnormality of the control devices or abnormality of input to the related internal sections.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparing water absorbing, cross-linked acrylate resins by aqueous polymerization of (A) acrylic acid neutarlized 70 to 100 mole percent for example with ammonia, and/or caustic alkali and/or an amine; with (B) acrylamide in a mole ratio of 70 to 100 mole percent (A) to 30:0 mole percent (B); and (C) a water miscible or a water soluble polyvinyl monomer in an amount of 0.001 to 0.3 weight percent based on the total weight of (A) and (B). In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the concentration of monomers (A) plus (B) should be at least 70 percent by weight of the polymerization mixture of (A) plus (B) plus (C) to achieve a substantially dry polymer (less than 15 weight percent water) when polymerization is completed by utilizing the exothermic heat of polymerization and cross-linking to drive off water without the need for additional heating to obtain a dry solid.
