摘要:
A rechargeable negative pole for an electrochemical apparatus using a non-aqueous electrolyte is made of an alloy consisting essentially of one element selected from the group of Sn, Pb, In and Bi, with Zn or Zn and Cd. A rechargeable electrochemical apparatus is provided with a combination of this negative pole and a positive pole, and can be reversibly charged. When immersed in a non-aqueous electrolyte containing alkali metal ions, the negative pole reversibly occludes and emits the alkali metal ions by this charge and discharge. The negative pole has a long charge-and-discharge life, since however many times the charge and discharge is repeated, the negative pole is not fragmented, and the negative pole maintains its electrode configuration stably. In addition, since the amount of alkali metal occluded per unit volume is large, the energy density is high.

An insulating substrate of a thin-film integrated device is provided with thin-film elements, such as a thin-film capacitor, a thin-film field-effect transistor and a thin-film electroluminescence element, which each employ an insulating film (3, 7, 13, 15, 16) as one of the constituent elements thereof. The insulating film is constituted by a sputtered composite oxide film of which tantalum and aluminium are its main components. Since a sputtered composite oxide film has the advantage of a large specific inductivity and dielectric breakdown field strength and a small leakage current, its application to these thin-film elements makes it possible to improve the operating characteristics thereof and improve the overall reliability.

Beta double prime alumina is provided having a sensible amount of at least one polyvalent cationic species intercalated therein. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, such beta double prime alumina is provided having trivalent and/or tetravalent cationic species intercalated therein, especially species derived from the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. Certain of the foregoing materials exhibit phosphorescence or fluorescence, and some are believed to be capable of producing laser emission upon suitable irradiation. Methods for modifying beta double prime aluminas comprising contacting crystals of the aluminas with polyvalent cation-containing salts such as in the molten state or in the gaseous state are also provided. Laser and other optical devies are disclosed employing the modified beta double prime aluminas of this invention.
摘要:
A data processor which is adapted for microprogrammed operation has a control store includes an ALU and condition code control unit for controlling operations performed by an arithmetic-logic unit within the execution unit of the data processor and for controlling the setting of the condition code bits in a status register. The ALU and condition code control unit is arranged in a row and column format. A decoder coupled to a macroinstruction register selects a row which is selected over an entire period that is required to execute macroinstruction. The row corresponds to a set of operations and condition code settings associated with a particular macroinstruction. The control store output provides information for selecting the proper column during each microcycle used to execute the macroinstruction. ALU function control signals and the condition code control signals are selected simultaneously according to the selected row and column.
摘要:
A data processor having a microprogrammed control store and including a conditional branch control unit for receiving selection bits output by the control store, selection bits from an instruction register, and conditional signals for generating a two-bit result which, when added to a base address, can specify one of two, three, or four branch destinations in the control store. The selection bits output by the control store determine whether the combination of conditional signals upon which the branch is dependent is selected by the control store or is selected directly by a bit field in the macroinstruction. Also, one of the selection bits output by the control store is used to select one of two possible output codes for the two-bit result associated with a particular branch destination. The latter feature allows for two conditional branch points in the control store to test for the same condition and to select the same destination when the tested condition is of one logic state while selecting different destinations when the tested condition is of the opposite logic state.
