Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen Lenkwinkelsensor, insbesondere zur Gierwinkelregelung in Kraftfahrzeugen. Zur Bestimmung des hierfür notwendigen Lenkwinkels der Lenkräder wird der Drehwinkel des Lenkrades gemessen. Hierzu dient eine Code-Scheibe, in der die Drehwinkelstellung der Scheibe abgelesen werden kann. Da das Lenkrad zum Verschwenken der Lenkräder mehrere Umdrehungen durchführen kann, ist das an der Code-Scheibe abgelesene Ergebnis mehrdeutig. Die Erfindung schlägt einen Zähler vor, der ausgehend von einer Nullstellung die Umdrehungen der Code-Scheibe festhält. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen beschäftigen sich mit dem Aufbau des Schaltgetriebes und der Auswertung der Zählersignale.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une base de données d'ordinateur pour enregistrer des informations sous forme de tuple, où chaque tuple comprend des champs avec des champs correspondants dans les tuples constituant une colonne. Cette base de données génère, pour chaque domaine de données, un dictionnaire de domaine qui fait correspondre chaque valeur de donnée distincte dans ce domaine avec un jeton distinct correspondant et enregistre chaque dictionnaire de domaine. Une mémoire à jetons est créée, pour chaque colonne de champ de données. Tous les jetons pour un domaine sont initialement de la même taille, en ayant sensiblement la taille minimale nécessaire pour produire la pluralité requise de jetons distincts pour la taille initiale de ce domaine. Quand d'autres tuples sont reçus pour mémorisation, pour chaque champ du tuple, la valeur de donnée est comparée dans le dictionnaire de domaine correspondant et si aucune correspondance n'est trouvée, un nouveau jeton de la taille de jetons existants est généré et ajouté au dictionnaire de domaine. Par contre, si tous les jetons de la taille des jetons existants sont utilisés, un nouveau jeton est généré qui est plus grand que précédemment d'au moins un bit, de tels jetons élargis étant entrés dans une nouvelle mémoire à jetons pour cette colonne.

Abstract: Uninterrupted electric power supply system comprised
of a diesel engine (2), one or a plurality of inertia flywheels
(6), electronic control means (5), a synchronous machine (1)
comprised of a synchronous motor and one or a plurality of
alternators which supply galvanically independent circuits, a
compressed air turbine (3) reacting in systems of more than

and release means (4) comprised of a reversible hydraulic
oil pump, two tanks and various anti-return valves. If
pertubartions occur in the network (10) and the speed of the
alternator decreases, an electric valve releases compressed air
in order to propel the turbine (3), thereby stabilizing the speed
of the alternator. If the pertubation remains, the diesel engine
(2) is started and, once it has reached the synchronous speed, if
is coupled to the alternator, stopping the turbine and activating
the air recharche. If, additionally, there is an overload, the
turbine operates with the diesel engine in order to supply
temporarily up to 200 % of the nominal load, The disclosed
system may be installed in parallel with other similar systems
by using independent controls.

Title: Connecting structure for building elements and process for producing said connecting structure
Inventor: JERMANN JOHANN
IPC: E01D19/06
Filed: 1997-08-28
Abstract: A connecting structure for building elements subject to expansion and/or shrinking has an elastic connecting layer (5) the top region of which is free of metallic parts and provided with flexible reinforcing means (7) secured to the building elements (1-4) for receiving and distributing any deformation forces. In addition, the building elements have each a foundation (1) and a top layer (2, 3, 4). The foundations (1) are spaced apart and are not covered by the top layer (2, 3, 4) in a marginal area. The connecting layer (5) is arranged between the top layers (2, 3, 4), overlapping the foundations (1), so that its surface, together with the surface of the top layers (2, 3, 4), forms a substantially continuous surface free of metallic parts. A ground plate (8) which partially overlaps the foundations (1) is arranged below the connecting layer (5), is fixed to one of the two foundations (1) and slidingly connected to the second foundation. This allows a clearance-free connection, without any exposed metallic parts, and a reliable fixation to the building element. The ground plate, which is slidingly supported on one side, effectively absorbs high friction forces. The road joint formed with the connecting structure has no exposed metallic parts, ensuring also in the long term an extremely low noise level.

Patent EP-0939905-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NICHOLSON JAMES E
IPC: F41G7/22
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: The invention provides a system and a method for determining the direction to a radiating source, for use by a vehicle guidance system, in which optical fibers are used to both collect and transmit optical signals in which the vehicle is preferably intended to home in on its target. The optical fibers disclosed herein require no separate collection optics, but instead directly collect incident radiation arriving at one end of the optical fiber for transmission to a photodiode detector coupled to the distal end. Preferably the radiation is laser radiation radiating from a target in relation to which the vehicle is guided, and preferably the vehicle is a guided missile. Elimination of collection optics reduces the complexity and cost of the apparatus and provides an unexpected increase in and selectability of the accuracy of directional determination by the system. The system includes an array of apertures disposed in selected, non-uniform locations on the vehicle. Each aperture contains a set of fibers, including start and stop fibers. The fibers receive incoming radiation, transmit the radiation as optical signals to start and stop detectors. The detectors measure a signal strength and a property related to the length of the start and stop fibers through which the optical signals have been transmitted, and provide output indicative of the signal strength and the property to a microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed to calculate the direction to the radiation source relative to the vehicle, and to provide this information to a vehicle guidance and control system.
