Abstract: A road surface marking strip (22) comprises spaced transparent protruding elements containing light-emitting diodes -LEDs- (18), and a photosensitive device (12) located on said strip (22) and adapted to cause, when excited by light from the headlights of an approaching vehicle, switching on of the LEDs (18)-Illumination of the marking strip can also be activated by traffic lights, light from the traffic light being transmitted to the photosensitive device via optical fibres. 
<??>Retroreflective elements, e.g. catadioptric prisms, alternate on the strip with the LED containing elements. Further the strip is provided with solar converters located thereon and with storage means for the electric energy generated. 
<??>To better cope with fog conditions, a series of halogen type micro-lamps (20) can be provided on the marking strip (22), in addition to the elements containing the LEDs (18). On the strip a second photosensitive device (14) monitors the light coming from a dedicated LED (16) and causes the fog condition lamps (20) to be switched on when the intensity of the illumination perceived drops below a safe level. 
<??>To provide a warning of potentially icy road conditions, the surface of the marking strip can contain cholesteric liquid crystals to change color when temperature drops below a certain point, a LED illuminating the warning surface.- Alternatively, the strip can be illuminated by a colored ice alert LED controlled by a temperature sensor.

Abstract: Dans le système de suspension d'un véhicule se trouve un agencement permettant de commander les éléments d'amortissement, en fonction du mouvement entre une masse non amortie et une masse amortie. Afin de réaliser un indicateur de position (9) simple et prenant peu d'espace entre la masse non amortie et la masse amortie, on utilise un émetteur (24) d'impulsions optiques rotatif, lequel est couplé à une poulie à fil métallique (20) à ressort (23). Autour de la poulie (20) est enroulé un fil métallique (10) pouvant être déroulé contre l'action du ressort (3) et couplé par l'intermédiaire d'éléments d'accouplement (11, 12) à la seconde masse. Cette construction simple permet d'obtenir une position protégée de l'émetteur d'impulsions proprement dit, et un montage simple sur différents types de systèmes à ressort.

Abstract: A paper feed operation is performed by a width less than one pixel (1/2) in addition to an integer multiple number of pixels (n/2) with respect to a basic number of pixels inherent to an ink jet recording apparatus having a multi nozzle head having n nozzles. When a plurality of times of pixel recording operations are performed for a single pixel region, ink dots land at a distance less than one pixel (1/2) at the pixel density. Thus, a variation in ink surface density on a recording sheet in an overlapping print operation is reduced, thereby efficiently increasing the image density, and preventing blurring by promoting absorption and evaporation of an ink to and from a paper sheet. <IMAGE>
