Abstract: A shift control system for shifting an automatic transmission from a predetermined gear stage to another by draining an oil pressure from predetermined frictional engagement means connected to an engine to release the same frictional engagement means and by feeding the oil pressure to another frictional engagement means to apply the same frictional engagement means while controlling the drain oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be released and the application oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be applied, during the shift. The shift control system comprises blowup detecting means for detecting the blown-up state of the engine being shifted in a clutch-to-clutch manner, and hydraulic control means for controlling at least one of the drain oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be released and the application oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be applied, on the basis of the blown-up state of the engine detected by the blowup detecting means, such that the amount of blowup of the engine may fall within a predetermined range. Since the rotation changing state of the engine being shifted is reflected upon the hydraulic control of the frictional engagement means participating in the clutch-to-clutch shift, it is possible to reliably prevent any excessive blowup of the engine and the reduction of the output shaft torque due to the tie-up of the frictional engagement means at all times.

Abstract: The clock supply in large-scale systems with synchronous digital signal processing, for example in an SDH switching distributor, is designed as redundant in order to prevent operational system failure in the event of local failures or interruptions. The problem lies in completing the transition, without interference, from the defective clock pulse train to a different equivalent clock pulse train which has a different phase relation. A phase-locked loop generates the pulse train which is to be output. The phase shift is prevented by a changeover within the phase-locked loop, more precisely the control voltage of the PLL, in conjunction with a plurality of phase-shift compensation circuits (33, 34), one of which in each case constitutes the first part of the PLL. The phase-shift compensation circuit (33, 34) essentially comprises the phase discriminator of the PLL, supplemented by an adjustable delay and a correction voltage which can be readjusted. If the circuit is inserted in the PLL, the delay and the correction voltage remain set at the last determined value. The changeover is carried out in a virtually floating manner and essentially without phase change and without a transient effect. A frame insertion circuit (41) together with a frame monitor in the phase-shift compensation circuit enable the phase-exact processing of modulated clock pulse trains and open-circuit operation if all clock presettings fail. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device has a filter insert formed by a brush (5) having a shaft (4) with fibres or fibre tufts (6) protruding radially therefrom. The distance between the individual fibres or tufts circumferentially round the shaft and/or axially along the shaft is at least so great that even with a completely covered fibre surface or after the undesired build-up of filter cakes there is still a sufficiently large free cross-section in the housing for the water to flow through to prevent nominal pressure loss in the apparatus. The outer diameter of each brush is smaller than the corresponding inner diameter of the housing at this point so that there is a space between the inside wall of the housing and brush which is not filled with fibres. Scraper elements are set inside the housing so that relative movement between these and the fibres serves to clean the brush.

Abstract: This invention describes a process for improvements in security for personal identification documents, particularly for machine-readable passports. An image of a personal identifier of a holder of the document is stored as a highly-compressed digital image in a magnetic medium dispersed invisibly within the material of a visible print forming part of the document or within the body of the document itself. The document is then scanned magnetically at the place where identification is required and the stored image decompressed and displayed. This provides confirmation that the holder of the document is the person shown on the visible image, that the document has not been tampered with, and by checking the image code against a database, that the document was originated by the proper authority.
