Abstract: The method involves initiating one changeover criterion for changing from premix to diffusion mode if timely detection of a transient process which could lead to premix flame extinction occurs or the initiation of a second changeover criterion if timely detection occurs of a premix flame extinction. The first and second criteria involve transferring to changeover logic the displacement (Z) of the valve in the fuel feed line and the pressure in the combustion chamber(s) respectively. The drive logic (8) continually checks the input values against the entered criteria. If a criterion is fulfilled, the drive logic passes a drive signal to the servovalve (7) of a rapid changeover valve (3) in the combustion gas feed line.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing a rough crop of a mounted image off-line prior to scanning. The apparatus comprises a kit having cards 32 with apertures 34 of various defined sizes and slide holders 22 corresponding to standard original (film) sizes to be used. Each aperture card 32 is labeled 36 for identification, and each slide holder 22 is marked with labeled lines 26 at discrete intervals parallel to the card edges, following a Cartesian orientation. An original 12 to be scanned is mounted in a slide holder 22 corresponding to its size, and an aperture card 32 selected for the desired cropping aperture, from the set included in the kit, and placed on top of the slide holder card with the outside edges of both cards aligned. An offset of the crop aperture from the center of the image is accomplished by shifting (FIGS. 3A-3C) the crop card until one or more of the parallel lines 38 on the slide holder come into view. When the desired rough crop aperture has been achieved, it can be specified quickly by a three-element code comprising the aperture card identifier, and two indices identifying which the offsets as given by the exposed parallel lines.

Abstract: A disk discrimination apparatus for use in an optical disk reproducing apparatus detects a tracking error signal to discriminate between disks, and prevents reproduction of a disk which does not correspond to the reproducing apparatus. In the disk discrimination apparatus, when a second type disk having a track pitch which is smaller than that of a first type disk is played by the optical disk reproducing apparatus, a discriminator detects that the disk is not a first type disk based on an output signal of a tracking error signal generating circuit. The discriminator performs a discrimination operation by comparing the signal level of a signal passed through the tracking error signal generating circuit with a predetermined reference value. In another embodiment, the discriminator includes a counter for counting the number of zero-crossings of the signal passed through the tracking error signal generating circuit, and performs the disk discrimination using a count value of the counter. In a further embodiment, when the second type disk is played by the optical disk reproducing apparatus, the discriminator detects that the disk is not a first type disk based on an output signal of a focus sum signal.
