Patent EP-0818760-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SCHWENK JOERG DR RER NAT
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: The method involves reading an identity characteristic stored in a module or chip card during manufacture when the module is used in a terminal. A monitoring characteristic stored in the terminal is the same for all terminals and is changed from time to time. A variable monitoring characteristic stored in the module is read by the terminal and compared with the one stored in the terminal. If they differ a central computer is informed and the module characteristic is overwritten with the one in the terminal. The warnings are recorded against identity characteristics and the use of a module blocked when the number of associated warnings exceeds a threshold.

Title: Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Verbesserung der Fahrstabilität im Schubbetrieb
Inventor: WELSCH KLAUS
IPC: F16H63/40
Filed: 1997-07-19
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Verbesserung
der Fahrstabilität im Schubbetrieb. Bekannt ist es, die Raddrehzahlen der
nichtangetriebenen sowie der angetriebenen Räder zu erfassen und miteinander
zu vergleichen, um beispielsweise bei einem zu hohen Antriebsmoment
des Motors einen Eingriff zum Zweck einer besseren Fahrzeugstabilität
herbeizuführen. 
     Problematisch kann auch die Fahrzeugstabilität im Schubbetrieb sein, wenn
das Bremsmoment des Motors einen Wert erreicht, daß die Antriebsräder zu
stark blockiert werden, so daß die Seitenführung verloren geht. 
     Zur Vermeidung dieses Problems wird vorgeschlagen, eine zwischen dem
Antriebsmotor und den Rädern im Antriebsstrang angeordnete Reibungskupplung
auszurücken, wenn die Drehzahl der angetriebenen Räder geringer 
ist als die Drehzahl der nicht angetriebenen Räder und die Differenz zwischen
den beiden Raddrehzahlen einen vorgegebenen Grenzwert überschreitet.
Die Reibungskupplung wird wieder eingerückt, wenn die Differenz
zwischen den beiden Raddrehzahlen einen zweiten Grenzwert erreicht oder
unterschreitet.

Abstract: A coated gut suture is prepared by applying a moisture-retaining
substance to the gut suture, followed by coating the
suture with a synthetic bioabsorbable polymer. A particularly

Abstract: A network access system is provided for
distributing bulletins, such as advertisements, to external
computers accessing a wide area computer network. The
network access system of the present invention connects the
external computers to the wide area computer network, and
sends bulletins with information being transmitted from
remote information servers within the wide area computer
network to the external computers. A bulletin server within
the network access system stores a plurality of bulletins to
be transmitted to the external computers, determines whether
to send a bulletin with the information being transmitted,
determines what bulletins to transmit to the external
computers, and sends the bulletins with the information
being transmitted from the remote information servers to the
external computers. Upon receipt of a bulletin, the
external computers may display the bulletins as part of the
received information, may display the bulletins before
allowing the user to view the received information, or may
display the bulletins as part of a separate window.

Abstract: A gas concentration detecting device for detecting the
concentration of a component, such as an oxygen in an exhaust
gas of an internal combustion engine. The device has a
concentration detecting body 2 for detecting the oxygen and a
cover 3 of a double wall structure which is for encircling
the portion of the detecting body opened to the flow of the
exhaust gas to be detected. The cover 3 has, at its axial tip
end wall, a plurality of holes 33 and 34 arranged in such a
manner that one of the holes functions as a gas inlet hole
and the other hole functions as a gas outlet hole in order to
cause the gas to be smoothly ventilated. The cover has, at
its side, a wall of a closed structure with no hole for the
passage of the gas, which is effective for preventing the
cover 3 and the detecting body 2 from being cooled by the
exhaust gas, thereby enhancing a heat retaining capacity,
thereby preventing particulates from being deposited.

Abstract: A single phase motor system and method for
preventing excessive circulating currents in the motor. The
motor (104) has a power supply link including power switches
(132) responsive to a motor control signal (126) for
connecting the motor winding (108) to a power supply in
alternating on and off intervals. A current sensing circuit
senses current in the power supply link during the on
intervals. A current regulation circuit (140) generates a
current regulation signal (146) representative of the
difference between the sensed current and a peak regulated
current level (144) that is a function of desired motor speed
and/or torque. An overcurrent circuit generates an
overcurrent signal in response to the sensed current
exceeding a maximum current level greater than the peak
regulated current level. The motor also has a control
circuit (122) responsive to the current regulation signal for
generating the motor control signal (126) thereby to regulate
current in the winding and control the motor speed and/or
torque. At least one of the on intervals is greater than or
equal to a minimum interval which is independent of the
current regulation signal. The control circuit is also
responsive to the overcurrent signal for causing the power
switches to disconnect the winding from the power supply
thereby to prevent excessive currents from circulating in the
motor.

Abstract: An electronic load weigh device (300) is used with a railcar truck
control unit (10). A relay valve (110) provides to a brake cylinder a
pressure proportional to the pressure impinging upon its control
port. A first feedback signal is indicative of the pressure at
the control port (111). A second feedback signal is indicative of the
load borne by the truck. A pressure switch (250) opens when pressure
within a trainline changes to a level indicative of an
emergency. By controlling the opening and closing of
application and release magnet valves (210,220), a controller (50) controls the
pressure impinging on the control port (111) and thereby service
braking of the wheels of the truck. The load weigh device (300)
includes (i) circuitry (330,340) for electronically compensating for the
load during braking and (ii) a mechanism (350) for granting the
circuitry (330,340) exclusive control over the magnet valves (210,220). Should such
emergency occur, the mechanism responds to such emergency by
disconnecting the controller (50) from the magnet valves (210,220). This gives
the circuitry (330,240) exclusive control over the magnet valves (210,220). The
circuitry (330,340) compensates for the load borne by the truck during
emergency braking by selectively opening and closing the magnet
valves (210,220), according to predetermined criteria using the feedback
signals, thereby controlling the magnitude of the pressure
impinging upon the control port (111). Absent such emergency, the
mechanism responds to such absence by connecting the controller (50)
to the magnet valves (210,220) whereby such service braking on the truck
is normally controlled, yet the circuitry (330,340) is still enabled to
compensate for the load during such service braking.

Abstract: A reference light generator that is capable of

installation position of the reference light generator. 
     A laser beam is emitted from a laser diode 1. A half

pentagonal prism 9 emits only the inclination-corrected
laser beam from the reference light generator. When the
reference light generator is used to determine the degree of
verticality, it is installed so that the transparent
