Title: Filter device for making tea
IPC: A47J31/06
Filed: 1989-01-13
Granted: 1991-02-27
Abstract: The beverage is prepd. in a cup to which water heated by a continuous-flow electric heater is added via the exchangeable filter unit (36). An outlet (40) in the base (41) of the container (37) is opened and closed by a valve (42) in the bed of an overflow channel (47,50). A piston (52) in the lower channel (50) is operated by a knob (60) to open the valve (42) allowing the liq. to drain through an outlet (54). The choice of beverage is determined by insertion of the appropriate inner container (e.g. 75) with a handle (77) easily accessible through an opening (68) in the outer (37).
Patent EP-0341390-B1 (EP)
Inventor: REBEL JOZSEF DR
IPC: F04B1/04
Filed: 1989-03-09
Granted: 1993-12-29
Abstract: The piston device comprises a piston (3), a sliding shoe (6) and a coupling element (18) holding the piston (3) and the sliding shoe (6) together. The coupling element (18) consists of a shank section (19) and articulated heads (20, 21) arranged on the ends of the shank section (19). The heads (20, 21) have spherical zone-shaped slide surfaces (9, 11, 23, 24), which act in concert with corresponding slide surfaces (9, 24) in the sliding shoe (6) and/or in the base of the piston (3). Due to the fact that the radius of curvature (R1, R2, R3) of the sliding surfaces of the sliding shoe (6) and the piston (3) have the same spherical centre and hence the same centre of rotation, damage to the sliding surfaces is avoided. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of producing custom-made orthopaedic shoes
IPC: A43B7/28
Filed: 1989-04-08
Granted: 1992-11-04
Abstract: To produce custom-made orthopaedic shoes, a plaster cast (2) is first taken in the correction or bedding mould of the rear foot of the foot sole of the patient. Then the bedding mould (1.1) required is shaped to a rough last (1). Subsequently, a plastic film (4) is drawn over the sole and side surfaces of the last (1) and a foot bed (13) and cut in the manner of a sole with a rear cap (4'). A trial shaft (5) is pulled over the last (1) and lasted and glued to the plastic film (4), so that a trial shoe is produced. Under this, a heel (6) is fastened. After trial by the patient, the last (1) is if necessary corrected. Finally, on the corrected last (1), with the aid of a prefabricated leather shaft, the size and shape of which are determined using the trial shaft (5), the custom-made shoe is finished. The time-consuming transfer of the last shape to the leather with the aid of paper templates etc. is eliminated completely. Use can be made of shoe parts, in particular insoles (3), front and rear caps, leather shafts, outsoles, heels (6), eyelets, shoelaces etc., which are prefabricated in series production and matched to one another. As a result, high rationalisation, excellent fit and modern fashionable appearance are ensured. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for management of an electronic memory representing predetermined homogenous units, of the generic type comprising inscribing in memory a stop indicating the balance at the end of a transaction. In this method, the memory is divided into elements including a non-specific number of cells, and at the time of a transaction, the search for the stop is performed by determining at the outset the element in which it is located, and then the precise position that it occupies in this element. A new stop is then inscribed starting at the position of this previous stop, and then this previous stop is neutralized so that it will be ignored in later transactions. The invention is applicable to electronic payment devices.

Abstract: A method for encoding a high definition television signal comprising a first frequency spectrum portion for standard resolution and a second high frequency spectrum portion for high resolution consistent with the B-MAC composite signal format comprises the steps or orthogonally sampling the high definition signal, diagonally filtering diagonal resolution information, and decimating alternate samples of alternate lines for folding in high frequency horizontal resolution information by means of a skew-symmetric low-pass filter. A method at a standard television resolution receiver for decoding the high-definition television signal uses a simple low pass filter to recover the baseband television spectrum at standard television resolution. A method at a high-definition television receiver comprises the steps of unfolding the high frequency horizontal resolution information and thereafter line doubling the unfolded high frequency resolution informtion to improve vertical resolution of the high-definition television signal. Thus, the encoding method is compatible for reception at either a standard resolution or high-definition television receiver.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a container for environmentally controlled and temperature-regulated transport of perishable goods, the environment-controlling unit being arranged in the essentially cuboid container in the region of the one end face thereof as a component, which is to be allocated to the container and to be separated from it. The environment-controlling unit is broken up into functionally connected components, or is composed of components, which are functionally connected with one another, the components being allocated to the region or regions between the temperature-regulating unit and a container corner post at the side of the temperature-regulating unit. In this way, space within the container is utilized, which previously was unused and was filled with foam, as were the container side walls, in order to avoid heat bridges. Because of its shape, the space gained makes it possible that environment-controlling equipment with an air separator can be used, in which the air of the surroundings is split into the oxygen and nitrogen, which are required for control of the environment.
