Abstract: Vorschalteinrichtungen für die Leistungsreduzierung in Haltebetrieb
von Magnetspulen können bisher nicht eingesetzt werden,
wenn die Magnetspule mit einer Überwachungsschaltung
versehen ist. 
     Das Problem wird überwunden, indem in den Stromkreis der Magnetspule

selbstleitender Leistungs-FET) geschaltet ist, der mit einer
Ansteuerschaltung (8) verbunden ist, die nach erfolgtem Anzug
des Magnetankers (3) die Magnetspule (2) mit einem geringen
Haltestrom versorgt. Ein Prüfstromkreis enthält eine Hilfsspannungsquelle
(11) und einen Prüfwiderstand (12) mit parallelgeschalteter
Auswertungsschaltung (13). Aufgrund des niedrigen
Bahnwiderstandes des elektronischen Schalters (6) im
Ruhezustand kann der Zustand der Magnetspule (2) überwacht
werden.

Title: Push fit connector
Inventor: DARWIN RICHARD PAUL
IPC: F16L37/091
Filed: 2000-03-10
Abstract: A push fit connector (400) for use as an attachment to connect two pipes
(100,101) has two connecting portions (10,11) at opposite sides of an
inwardly deformed ridge (2) in outer tubular metal body (302) having
inwardly deformed lips (8,8') at each end around a respective entrance
opening to the corresponding connecting portion (10,11). The connecting
portions are similarly arranged and substantially symmetrically disposed
with respect to the ridge. Connecting portion (11) has an annular
abutment element (3'), an elastomeric sealing ring (308), an annular
intermediate abutment (310), a grab ring (312) with inwardly directed
teeth in a frusto-conical array, an outer bush (314) and a sleeve (316)
axially slidable in the bush (314). When the sleeve (316) is pushed
inwardly of the connecting portion (11) a wedge-shaped annular head or
lip on the sleeve acts on the teeth of the grab ring (312) to displace them
radially outwards so they can disengage from the pipe (101) thus releasing
it so that it can be pulled out of the connector (400). Dotted line C
demarcates an end of the envelope of the attachment (400). Teeth
releasing movement by the sleeve (316) can only begin to occur once end
face (342) on a free end of the sleeve is substantially flush with end C of
the envelope or is actually wholly within the envelope. End face (342)
faces outwardly from the body (302).

Abstract: According to the image recording method, a process for
successively examining dots in a raster direction, adding
continuous flags to the dots when record data exists in
the dots, and distributing record data for continuous
dots supplied with the continuous flags to upper and
lower bands when no record data exists in the dots.
