Abstract: A low profile bicycle pedal (12) having a pedal body
(20) supported by a pedal shaft (22) to be rotatable
about an axis (A) of the pedal shaft (22) and at least
pair of clamping members (24, 26) attached to the pedal
body for releasably coupling a cleat (16) of a
cyclist's shoe thereto. Preferably, at least one of
the clamping members (26) is pivotally coupled to the
pedal body. The cleat (16) has a substantially C-shape
with a pair of attachment portions (140, 142) for
coupling the cleat to the cyclist's shoe, and a
connecting portion (144) for interconnecting the
attachment portions together. The attachment portions
(140, 142) and the connecting portions (144) form a
pedal shaft receiving notch (146) for accommodating the
pedal shaft (22) when coupled to the pedal body. The
pedal body is provided with a gap adjusting mechanism

Abstract: The cap (1) in accordance with the invention is of the kind that
comprises a sort of inverted dome having a skirt (2) joined to the cap
body (1) by means of a tear-off strip (3). The novelty of the invention lies
in that the skirt (2) has a number of weakened slots (8) originating at the
very edge of the skirt (2) and projecting upwards until they disappear into
the outer side surface of the skirt, which slots (8) will reveal any
manipulation or attempted opening of the cap, for they will break when
submitted to a twisting stress. The slots (8) can be joined in pairs by
means of upper transverse slots forming sort of frangible battlements.

Abstract: The invention relates to an interlaced to progressive conversion method and
system by use of an interpolation algorithm (IPC algorithm) which is scaleable
with several levels or modes with an increasing computational complexity
depending on increasing availability of resources, i.e. computation power,
available memory and available memory bandwidth. An IPC mode control can
be implemented as a decision table. Peferably, at least five levels of the
algorithm can be scaled beginning with line repetition (lowest level), linear
interpolation (lower level), median inter-field computation with a three-tap or a
five-tap median operator (medium level) and a combination of a linear interpolator
and a median interpolator, eventually in combination with edge
detection (higher levels of the scaleable algorithm).

Title: Reference DC voltage generating apparatus
Inventor: GERBER REMI
IPC: G05F1/46
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: The device has an input stage (10) forming a first potentiometer divider having a first branch (101) connected to a supply and a second branch (102) connected to earth. These two branches have an asymmetric response to variations in the ambient and/or operating temperature. The variations in operating temperature are linked to the quality of the fabrication method of the device. The first input stage (10) inputs a first continuous voltage (NGBP) to an intermediate stage (11) forming a resistive/capacitive filter; this suppresses the dynamic component of the voltage (NGBP), and outputs a second continuous voltage (NARF). An output stage (12) forms a second potentiometer divider (121) connected to the supply and with a second branch (122) connected to earth. These two connections (121, 122) have an asymmetric response similar to the connections (101,102) of the first divider. The relative voltage variations of this second divider as a function of ambient and/or operating temperature are much less than that of the first divider, and depend upon the fabrication quality. The output stage provides a third continuous voltage (NREF), whose variations as a function of ambient and operating temperature are linked to the fabrication quality and are inverted with respect to those of the second voltage (NARF). The variations of the second voltage (NARF) are thus compensated.
