Patent EP-1552279-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SAGATELYAN DMITRY M
IPC: H04N5/355
Filed: 2003-10-08
Abstract: A photo-detector (122) generated signal (125) is measured as a sample set (192) comprising a long signal and a short signal. The short signal is scaled to the value of the long signal if the long signal exceeds a dynamic range (131) associated with the photo-detector (122). In one embodiment, the short signal is obtained during a short time interval that is at the approximate middle of a long time interval such that the short and long intervals share a common median time value (194). Given such symmetry, an approximately linear signal (190) yields a proportionality parameter between the long and short signals thereby allowing the short signal to be scaled. The proportionality parameter facilitates determination of an integration independent component of the photo-detector signal that should be removed from the measured long and short signals before scaling. A plurality of sample sets (260) can also be processed such that each sample set overlaps with its neighboring sample set, thereby increasing the effective number of sample sets.

Abstract: Titanium dioxide particles having a selective
shielding effect against infrared radiation and a high
spreadability are disclosed. The titanium dioxide
particles have a primary particle size of 0.5 to 2.0  µ m

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for joining a planar component (2) to a hollow section (1). According to said method, the component (2) and the hollow section (1) are positioned in relation to one another in a hydroforming die and are subsequently joined with the aid of a fluidic internal high pressure in the hollow section (1). The aim of the invention is to join a planar component (2) and a hollow section (1) in a simple and reliable manner. To achieve this, under the prevailing internal high pressure, the adjacent walls (3,5) of the hollow section (1) and component (2) that are to be joined are impinged by a punch (6) that is integrated into the hydroforming die, in such a way that the wall (3) of the hollow section (1) is perforated. The result of said perforation is that the punched waste (7) remains attached at one point on the border (8) of the hole, increasing in width towards its free end (9), and that a section of the wall (5) of the component (2) is bent in the form of a tongue (10), which has the same shape as the punched waste (7), into the hollow section (1), to engage behind the border (8) of the hole in said hollow section (1).

Abstract: An industrial sewing machine has a thread tensioning assembly that can be operated either in control mode or regulator mode as required by the operator. The sewing machine (1) has a thread tensioning assembly (32) operated by an electromagnet (34). The electric current running through the electromagnet coil (33) varies in accordance with the rotational speed of the armature shaft, in accordance with a predetermined graph curve of thread tension plotted against rotation. The change in current prevents the formation of a knot formed by the upper and lower threads between the two work pieces. Selection of regulation mode or control mode is made by the operator via a suitable selector switch (50). The push button selector switch is linked to a microprocessor with a memory device and mode indicator (51) that further indicates thread tension.
