A memory module according to one implementation includes a support substrate, plural memory devices mounted on the support substrate, and pins having a predetermined arrangement on the support substrate, the pins comprising signal pins connected to the memory devices, power pins, and ground pins. In the predetermined arrangement of pins, each signal pin uses a ground pin as a reference, and each power pin is adjacent a ground pin for reduced impedance between the power pin and ground pin. In som...

An apparatus for producing a predetermined transfer characteristic of information-containing signals, comprising clock means for generating a clock pulse, input means for supplying digital representations of said information-containing signals; coefficient generator means for supplying a first train of pulses of digital multiplication coefficients; delay means; digital multiplier means; and a storage device including an alternator provided with a sign reversing device and a summation device.

Milk to be standardized is fed continuously to a centrifugal separator which discharges separate flows of skim milk and cream; and the density of the separated cream is maintained substantially constant by continuously measuring such density and using these density measurements to control one of the separate flows. Pipelines leading from these separate flows to a mixing zone are provided with meters for measuring the flow rates of the skim milk and cream, respectively; and a quotient controller ...

A cable assembly having predetermined discrete locations for subsequent connectorization is provided. The cable assembly of the present invention includes at least one conductor that may be an optical fiber or standard electrical wire conductor or any other type of conductor. The cable assembly also includes at least one layer of protective coating over the conductor. At least one prescored area is formed in the protective coating during the manufacturing process to provide for ease of connector...

A device for monitoring a predetermined level in a container contains a sensor formed by a mechanical vibratory system comprising two vibratory rods, of which at least one vibratory rod is tubular and surrounds the other vibratory rod coaxially. Each of the two vibratory rods is secured to a common support via a resilient holding member acting as a return spring so that each rod is able to execute vibrations transversely to its longitudinal direction. An excitation arrangement causes the two vib...

A cutting apparatus cuts a plate such as a corrugated cardboard or a steel plate into a predetermined size with a knife cylinder and includes a knife cylinder driver for controlling rotation speed of the knife cylinders by motors. The apparatus includes a speed compensator for producing a torque command signal so that there is no difference between a command rotating speed and a detected motor speed and a plurality of motor torque control device including a torque compensator for producing a mot...

Apparatus for applying a predetermined surface effect to a masonry surface. A roller has a predetermined topographical pattern on its outer surface for creating such effect. The roller is mounted within a frame that includes a handle engaged to a yoke-like apparatus. The handle permits a single unskilled operator to finish a relatively large surface area. Vibration apparatus is mounted to the frame and is controllable whereby the operator can control the texture of the effect produced.

An electrical apparatus configured for predetermined encoding. The apparatus is comprised of a substrate, a plurality of pairs of electrical terminals affixed to the substrate, a plurality of conductive circuit traces connecting respective pairs of terminals, and a like plurality of removable plugs in the substrate intermediate respective pairs of terminals. The conductive circuit traces respectively traverse respective plugs intermediate respective pairs of terminals so that removal of a plug i...

In an electrostatic copier a switch can be operated for initiating a copying sequence. A number wheel is mounted on the shaft and can be turned from a zero position to a plurality of operating positions in each of which it preselects a specific number of repetitions of the sequence. An externally accessible knob is provided for turning the shaft manually to place the number wheel in the desired operating position. A device is provided which incrementally returns the number wheel to zero position...

Apparatus for admixing fluids in a predetermined proportion characterized by, inter alia, first and second valves, connected together and disposed in their respective tapered throats and sized to effect the correct proportion of fluid flow therepast; the first valve being biased towards its no flow position by suitable force sufficient to require at least 2.5, and preferably about 5 pounds per square inch (p.s.i.) pressure differential across the valve to open it for flow therepast. Delivery sys...
