Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the contribution to the improvement of quality of a product cast block by calculating the optimum component adjusting value in a short time without needing the skillness of a worker in a sequentially continuous casting of a cast steel kind. SOLUTION: The component adjustment of the sequentially continuous casting of the cast steel kind is executed at each lot in the casting order by utilizing a component allowance value data base and a mixed part component allowance value data base stored in the inner part of a process control part 30. In order to consider the component adjusting value of the object lot at the front of and the following lots, the component allowance range in the mixed part between these lots is obtd. by referring the mixed part component allowance data base and a provisional component adjusting value is calculated from the above allowance range and the component allowance range of the object lot obtd. by referring the component allowance value data base. The provisional component adjusting value is corrected with data obtd. by referring a correcting control table and the optimum component adjusting value is calculated.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an adjustment controlling system which enables optimum adjustment and controlling with good adjustment efficiency by controlling in such a manner that adjustment is repeated till each detected controlled amt. reaches within a specified allowance when adjustment and controlling are not previously experienced. SOLUTION: In this system, controlled variables from plural sensors are inputted, and when deviations of all controlled variables are within the allowance, the system judges 'YES', and if not, it judges 'NO' (ST12). After the system determines 'NO', whether success experience by learning is present or not is judged (ST13). When there is no experience, the operation amt. is determined by an adaptive controlling method (ST15). Then operation is carried out according to the operation amt. (ST16). Thus, the obtd. adjusting and controlling system realizes ensured convergence and decrease in controlling times by determining the operation amt. by selecting between the feed back control which ensures convergence such as adaptive control and the control pattern of learning control.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure the air tightness and realize thin and small electronic devices by specifying the fitting allowance of a base and the fitting allowances in the major and minor axes using specified equations. SOLUTION: A tubular metal case 4 has an elliptic opening 4a the inner edge of which is rounded to facilitate the press-fit of a base 2 into the case 4. The allowance for pressing the base 2 into an opening 4a of the case 4 is defined as 1/2 the value of the outer diameter of a fitting part of the base 2 minus the inner diameter of a fitting part of the case 4 and allowance values Er, Es in the major and minor axes satify the eq. Er<=Es<=2Er. The case 4 has a flat cup-like shape and the fitting part of the base 2 to be inserted in the opening 4a of the case 4 is elliptic. These allowance values are set to ensure the air tightness by the press-fit.

Abstract: A motion estimating method for determining a motion vector, using a bit rate-distortion technique in image compression. The motion estimating method includes the steps of obtaining a motion vector (x 0 , y 0 ) which minimizes a predetermined error function, assuming a preferred motion vector (x, y), calculating the difference (x-diff, y-diff) between (x 0 , y 0 ) and (x, y), obtaining the number of bits needed to encode the x-diff and y-diff, determining a bias based on a bias model according to the bit number, obtaining a final cost function value based on the difference between a cost function value and a bias, comparing the final cost function value with a predetermined allowance limit, determining the assumed motion vector (x, y) as a motion vector for a current macroblock and updating the allowance limit by using the cost function value, if the cost function value is smaller than the predetermined allowance limit and discarding the assumed motion vector (x, y) if the cost function value is not smaller than the predetermined allowance limit. The disclosed method is successful in increasing the compression rate.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease occurrence of the backward pressure signals and to secure the high cell yield by changing the allowance number of input cells for every input port. SOLUTION: A buffer allowance value control part 15 reads the shared buffer occupation information out of a shared buffer control part 12 to calculate the shared buffer occupation rate of every input port and the input port allowance value at each W cell time of an allowance value rewriting interval, sends these calculated rate and value to the part 12, and generates the control signal to decide every priority class buffer allowance value. A unit switch has N pieces of input port occupation information tables at the part 12 to store the occupation information on N pieces of input ports and stores the cell number Li of the relevant input port in the t-th table. When the number of bells of a shared buffer 11 is equal to its allowable value t1 , a backward pressure signal is generated to inhibit the cells which are inputted from an i-th input port. That is, the part 15 decides the allowance value of every input port at each W cell time and the part 12 generates the backward pressure signal for every input port based on the allowance value that is decided at the part 15.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure a picture frame width from a necessary strength of a pair of cases for a liquid crystal display module. SOLUTION: An under case 1 is provided with a projecting part 4 on a specified inner side wall 3. An upper case 11 is provided with a leaf spring part 15 in the form of a cantilever on a specified side wall 14. In general, it is difficult from precision of machining to exactly fit the side wall of the upper case 11 to the side wall 3 of the under case 1. Although a maximal allowance is made for this reason, this may cause a play between both cases 1, 12. Therefore, if a projecting value of the projecting part 4 from the inner side wall 3 is made as same as the play, the left side wall 14 of the upper case 11 always fits to the side wall 3 of the under case 1 not only when there is no play between both cases 1, 11 at all but also when there is a play at a maximum between both cases 1, 11.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the difference in a balance due to a time difference from the application of cost up to the definition of accounting results by approving the use application of a budget when a temporary balance subtracted by temporary allowance based on the use application is more than a prescribed value, and at the time of defining the application, invalidating the temporary allowance and setting up a value subtracted based on the defined value as the balance of the budget. SOLUTION: A temporary allowance means 2 calculates a balance subtracted by temporary allowance based on budget use application outputted from a client 9, and when the balance is more than the prescribed value, a judging means 3 approves the budget use application, and when a definition means 4 defines the temporary allowance, the value subtracted from the budget is set up as a balance. On the other hand, the means 2 sets up an application amount in a temporary allowance column for the budge in a budget results file 6 based on the budget use application from the client 9, calculates a balance by subtracting an actual amount and the temporary allowance from the budget, and when the temporary balance is more than the calculated prescribed value, the means 3 approves the budget use application. When the temporary allowance is defined, the means 4 adds a defined amount for returning the temporary allowance to the original amount to the actual amount and subtracts the actual amount from the budget to obtain the balance.

Abstract: Abstract As has been indicated in earlier chapters, before dating measurements are made there is the need for preheating, at any rate with most samples. Besides the wanted effects of such preheating there are also unwanted effects which have relevance to the effectiveness of zeroing. These are now documented, prior to discussion of the preheating procedures and of electron-retention lifetimes. Discussion of photo transfer during shine-down is also included (Section 7.2.1) although it is not a thermal effect. Although OSL can be rapidly bleached to a very low level, this is not the end of the story-as has been mentioned several times earlier. Preheating has the effect of raising the observed OSL above that very low level even though there has been no dosing subsequent to the bleaching; an increase may also occur simply through storage at ambient temperature. Although lying dormant at the immediate conclusion of depositional bleaching this increase is effectively a ‘starting signal’, usually small in absolute terms, which vitiates the ideal of ‘zero OSL for zero age’. Obviously it is important for young samples rather than for old, and unless allowance can be made the evaluated age is liable to be significantly in excess, sometimes substantially; on the other hand for the majority of not-so-young samples it is barely significant. Transfer effects can also occur during bleaching, adversely affecting rapidity.
