IPC: C07D401/12
Filed: 1993-06-21
Abstract: A photographic element comprises a support bearing at least one photographic silver halide emulsion layer and at least one naphtholic coupler (A) having a water solubilizing group wherein coupler (A) forms a compound that is washed out of the photographic element during photographic processing and forms a coupling-off group represented by the formula: 
 
 
 
        -X - Rel¹ - T¹ - INH 
 
 
 
wherein: 
   X is selected from oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur; 
   Rel¹ contains a ballast and is a releasing group for releasing T¹-INH from Rel¹ by intramolecular displacement reaction during photographic processing without substantial delay of releasing; 
   T¹ is a timing group that releases INH by elimination electron transfer reaction with timing delay during photographic processing; 
   INH is a development inhibitor group. 
     The photographic coupler (A) enables formation of easily removable dyes in photographic elements and processes that provide images having improved acutance, stability and interimage effects.

Title: Drive concept for electrically driven rotary actuator
Inventor: STACHULETZ MANFRED
IPC: H02P5/00
Filed: 1993-06-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a drive concept for electrically driven rotary drives having a highly fluctuating power requirement in strip installations, preferably on reel drives and/or strip tension measuring rollers. The invention is based on the object of designing the rotary drive such that stable and very precise control of the drive motors is possible even in the event of a highly different power requirement. This is achieved in that the rotary drive consists of two electric motors (1 and 2) which are provided in a tandem arrangement, are coupled to one another without play and such that they can be switched independently of one another, and can be driven individually or jointly as motors and/or generators. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A shift control mechanism (41) is provided for use in cooperation with a transmission shift bar housing assembly (11) to be mounted on a transmission having a plurality of shift rails (17, 19, 21, 23) of the type wherein movement of the shift lever in the Y-Y direction results in axial movement of one of the shift rails, and engagement of a particular transmission gear ratio. The shift control mechanism includes a support member (43) and a slide member (45) restrained from movement only in the X-X direction relative to the support member, and in engagement with a shift finger (33). The support member and slide member define spring openings (53, 55, 73, 75), which receive compression springs. When the slide member (45) is in a neutral position (FIG. 1) in the X-X direction, the compression springs are at minimum load; movement of the slide member toward a first displaced position (FIG. 4) further loads a first spring (57); and further movement of the slide member toward a second position (FIG. 6) further loads the second spring (59).

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for decompressing video segments including a sequence of differential frames. Selected scaling of frame resolution and color depth upon playback on a playback platform is simplified by the process. A frame header may indicate the computational complexity of decompression of information for a frame, allowing selection of a scale for output resolution and another scale for color depth. Decompression proceeds by retrieving a frame from the compressed video stream in elementary units. Elementary units relate to non-overlapping, contiguous rectangular areas of the frame to be decompressed. An elementary unit is characterized by type, including an unchanged type, a homogeneous type, a pattern type and a predetermined pattern type. For a retrieved elementary unit of the unchanged type, an output pointer to a display buffer is moved by an elementary unit scaled by the output resolution scale. For a retrieved elementary unit of the homogeneous type, a color retrieved from the compressed video stream is applied to an area in the display buffer corresponding to an elementary unit scaled by the output resolution scale. For a retrieved elementary unit of the predetermined pattern type, a pattern from a table of patterns is retrieved using an index from the compressed video segment as an address. Two colors for the pattern are also retrieved and applied to the pattern. The result is written to an area in the display buffer corresponding to an elementary unit scaled by the output resolution scale. For a retrieved elementary unit of the pattern type, a pattern is retrieved from the compressed video stream. Two colors are retrieved and applied to the pattern and the result is written to an area in the display buffer corresponding to an elementary unit scaled by the output resolution scale.

Abstract: A hypodermic syringe (10) has a syringe barrel (12) with a distal end (20) and a passage therethrough communicating with a fluid-receiving chamber in the syringe barrel. A barrier (30) extends across the passage to isolate the fluid in the chamber. A needle cannula (60) is mounted to a needle hub (52) slidingly engaged at the distal end of the syringe barrel (12). The needle cannula(60) includes a proximally facing point (62) for piercing the barrier (30) in the passage to the chamber of the syringe barrel. A needle shield (16) is mounted to the distal end of the syringe barrel, and cam means are provided for cam-guided rotational movement between the needle shield and the syringe barrel. The cam shape causes the needle shield and the needle cannula to move proximally for initially piercing the barrier and then to move distally to enable separation of the needle shield.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for control of concurrent communication of analog information and digital information. In general terms, when the communication channel is viewed as a multi-dimensional space, the digital information signal is divided into symbols, and the symbols are mapped onto the signal space with a preset distance between them. The analog signal, generally limited in magnitude to less than the distance separating the symbols, is converted to component signals and added (i.e., vector addition) to the symbols. The sum signal is then transmitted to the receiver where the symbols are detected and subtracted from the received signal to yield the analog signal components. The transmitted analog signal is recreated from those components. Both half-duplex and full-duplex operation is available in accordance with this invention. The illustrative embodiment includes control means that is sensitive to input signals applied to the modem disclosed herein. To wit, the control is sensitive to signals from the analog port, signals from the digital port, and signals from the port that carries the combined digital and analog signals. Operation of the near-end modem is controlled as well as operation of the far-end modem.

Abstract: A device monitors the vibrations of a device under test and provides a signal for strobing a strobe light in response to a particular vibration mode. An input signal, representative of the vibrations of the device under test, is received by a processor and the processor selects a particular spectral component of the input signal representative of a corresponding vibrational mode. In response to each occurrence of a predefined phase state of the selected spectral component, the processor provides a strobing pulse. The pulse is coupled, via a strobe driver, to a strobe light that flashes in accordance with the pulse.
