Patent EP-0376029-A3 (EP)
Title: Black/white liquid-crystal display
IPC: G02F1/137
Filed: 1989-12-09
Abstract: A black/white liquid crystal display (10) contains a nematic liquid crystal having a twist of 270 DEG  between two cell plates. The product of the liquid crystal layer thickness and the anisotropy of the refractive index is approximately 0.38. A pretilt of approximately 15 DEG is present. The polarisation directions (P1, P2) are at an angle  beta  of 45 DEG  to the orientation directions (Mo, Mu). 
<??>Over a very large range of viewing angle, this display has a relatively low dependence on the contrast of the viewing angle, and there is practically no colour displacement at all that depends on the viewing angle. Because of the considerable improvements, when compared with all known cells, in the range of the viewing angle with respect to contrast and colour neutrality, the display is termed an "extended-viewing-angle" display (EVA display). It can be multiplexed to a very high degree.

Title: Animal-resistant cable
IPC: H01B7/17
Filed: 1989-05-10
Abstract: An animal-resistant optical fiber cable (20) includes a core (22) which 
comprises a transmission medium and a sheath system. The sheath system 
includes an outer jacket (65) and a dielectric armor (40) in the form of a shell. 
The shell comprises a plurality of longitudinally extending preformed segments 
(42-42) each having an arcuately shaped cross section transverse to a longitudinal 
axis of the cable and each comprising glass fibers embedded in a matix material. 
Each of the segments covers less than half of the periphery of the core and, in a 
preferred embodiment, eight segments are used. Further, the shell segments are 
stranded helically about the core with longitudinal edge surfaces of adjacent 
segments being in engagement with each other. The shell segments not only 
provide rodent protection for the cable, but also they provide suitable tensile and 
compressive strength. Further, because the cable has an all-dielectric sheath 
system, it is inherently lightning, corrosion and EMP resistant.

Abstract: A mask cassette and mask cassette loading 
device, suitably usable in an X-ray exposure apparatus 
for exposing a wafer to a mask with X-rays contains in 
a synchrotron radiation, to print a pattern of the mask 
on the wafer, are disclosed. The mask cassette

Title: Image processing apparatus
IPC: H04N1/60
Filed: 1990-04-30
Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus 
for executing a process to an input image in accordance 
with the characteristics thereof, comprising: an input 
device to input iamge data; a detector to detect the 
characteristics of the input image; and a processor to 
execute first and second processes such as brightness 
correcting processes or color balance correcting processes 
for the input image data on the basis of weights 
corresponding to the characteristics of the input image. 
When the weight of the first process is large, the weight 
of the second process is set to a small value. As the 
characteristics of the input image are deviated from a 
predetermined condition, the processor sets the weight 
of the first process to a small value and sets the weight 
of the second process to a large value. With the appa­
ratus, the brightness and the color balance of the input 
image are preferably corrected and a natural image can 
be output irrespective of the characteristics of the 
image reading apparatus.

Title: Re-usable receptacle containing washing, cleaning, desinfecting and/or preserving agents
Inventor: MANDLER GUNTER
IPC: B65D21/02
Filed: 1992-05-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of washing, cleaning, disinfecting and/or preserving agents which are compressed, shaped and designed to be at least partially porous without using a preheated melt or solution, in which a previously prepared premix of powdered and/or granular active ingredients is prepared and introduced into a suitably shaped reusable container and compacted under pressure so that a block which is consolidated in the container and has a powder structure is formed. Alternatively, the invention relates to a process of this type wherein, however, the previously prepared mixture is in another step initially mixed with a binder so that a moistened but still pourable powder composition is produced and is then introduced into the reusable container and compacted there under pressure. The invention furthermore relates to means for carrying out the abovementioned process, i.e. recyclable reusable containers which are open at the top and expand conically upwards and which can be used for liquid, solid or powdered washing, cleaning, disinfecting and/or preserving agents and, in particular, for carrying out the above process. In particular, the invention relates to recyclable reusable containers which are particularly suitable for use in dishwashers and washing machines and contain washing, cleaning, disinfecting and/or preserving agents and which are designed so that washing, cleaning, disinfecting and/or preserving agent is discharged from the container when a surface of the washing, cleaning, disinfecting and/or preserving agent is exposed to a stream of aqueous liquid. The invention finally relates to the use of these reusable containers.
