Abstract: To easily cope with a change in a distance between battery posts. 
     A cover 5 includes a pair of cover elements 6, 7 which are provided with receptacles 8 for accommodating connection members 3 of a battery connection terminal 1, and hollow connection portions 9, 10 which are slidably fitted so as to adjust the length of the cover 5. The connection portions 9, 10 are openable, and the receptacles 8 are provided with lids 28. After the connection portions 9, 10 are opened and partly assembled, the battery connection terminal 1 is inserted into the cover 5 sideways. Then, the connection portions 9, 10 are closed. The assembly of the cover 5 and the terminal 1 is fitted such that battery posts 51 are inserted into insertion holes 4 formed in the connection members 3, and the lids 28 are closed after nuts 54 are fastened to the battery posts 51. When a distance between the battery posts 51 is changed, a corresponding battery connection terminal is prepared and the length of the cover 5 is adjusted by sliding the connection portions 9, 10 with respect to each other. Accordingly, a slight change in the distance between the posts 51 can be offset by the length adjustment of the woven wire 2 and the cover 5.

IPC: H03G9/02
Filed: 1996-12-03
Abstract: Bei einer neuen Schaltungsanordnung zur Verbesserung des Störabstandes wird das gesamte Tonfrequenzspektrum in mehrere aneinander angrenzende Frequenzkanäle aufgeteilt. In jedem Kanal wird der entsprechende Signalanteil verzögert auf einen in der Verstärkung veränderbaren Verstärker gegeben. Der Verstärker wird, abhängig von einem Komparator, in der Verstärkung geregelt, und zwar so, daß wenn das Tonfrequenzsignal in dem betreffenden Kanal über eine festgelegte Zeit unter einem Schwellwert liegt, die Verstärkung des in der Verstärkung veränderbaren Verstärkers allmählich auf einen kleinsten Verstärkungswert heruntergefahren wird. Umgekehrt wird die Verstärkung allmählich auf einen Größtwert hochgesteuert, wenn das Nutzsignal erneut den Schwellwert übersteigt. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A memory (400) includes a sense amplifier (500) formed with
current-to-voltage converters (512, 513) connected to multiple bit
lines, with a common current source (548) forming a current reference,
and a common latching comparator (530). A column decode select
circuit (515) which selects one of the multiple bit lines is interposed
between the current-to-voltage converters (512, 513) and an input of
the latching comparator (530) . The distribution of the components of
the sense amplifier (500) allows operation at low power supply
voltages. The sense amplifier (500) uses a clamp and a loading device
to establish a first discharge rate on a reference input of the latching
comparator (530). The state of the selected memory cell establishes a
second discharge rate on another input of the latching comparator
(530), which is greater or less than the first discharge rate depending
on the state of the memory cell. Portions of the comparator (530) also
double as latches during a program mode.

Abstract: In a process for transporting a cord reinforced breaker layer strip to a processing unit, especially a breaker layer building drum (4), during tyre manufacture, the strip, which after cutting from a continuous band (30) has parallel side edges and leading and trailing edges parallel to the reinforcing cords and forming an angle of 10-35 degrees with the side edges, is moved forward by two or more transporting units, especially conveyer belts to the drum (4) and are accurately aligned without using side guides. Alignment of the breaker layer strip is effected in stages involving: a) lateral alignment of the front tip to achieve the correct shape and position; b) lateral alignment of the side edges of the main part between the front and rear tips; c) lateral alignment of the rear tip to achieve the correct shape and position. Process equipment includes two conveyers(2,3), one behind the other with at least one capable of controlled lateral movement and a sensing unit(15) with two sensors for determining the position of the side edges of the strip. A controllable mechanism(13) holds the front tip of the strip on the second conveyer(3) during front tip alignment. The sensing unit(15), drive unit and holding mechanism(13) are coordinated to permit lateral movement of the first conveyer(2) relative to the second(3) for aligning the front tip, main body and rear tip of the strip.
