Abstract: A rectifier arrangement (l4) has a.c. terminals (l5), a terminal (l6) for d.c. return current and two d.c. output terminals (l8, l9). The rectifier elements (Dl-D7) of the rectifier arrangement (l4) are connected so that currents through the output terminals (l8, l9) are discontinuous and that the sum of the output currents is a substantially continuous d.c. output. Switches (20, 2l) are operable in unison either to connect the output terminals (l8, l9) to a supply terminal (24) for a load (l0) or to isolate the output terminals (l8, l9) from each other and from the supply terminal (24)

Abstract: A method and means for regenerating a dynamic membrane in a separation means for a liquid medium containing undissolved constituents comprises a chamber (10) with at least one dynamic membrane (11,12) arranged therein, said membrane consisting of a porous support matrix (11a,12a) or other support matrix with through-holes, and a layer (11b,12b) of small-sized particle material generated thereon in the chamber. In such a separation means the flow of the liquid medium is split into two streams, one constituting the permeate stream which penetrates through the membrane and the other constituting the reject stream which flows past the membrane. To regenerate the membrane, the deposit of said undissolved constituents formed on the membrane during operation is according to the invention removed from the support matrix, with the aid of one or more movable devices (21 b,22,23) brought into mechanical contact with the layer of particle material and moved along the support matrix by a rotor (21) arranged in the chamber, while at least a portion of the particle material is allowed to remain on the support matrix.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a transmission network, in which the individual subscriber stations are interconnected via one or more relay stations (U) and a central station (Zst), and related uses. The object of improving the organisation of a network of this type for the terrestrial domain is achieved in that the relay station (U) contains a controlled memory (Sp) which already re-arranges the information from the individual stations (PSt1 ...PStn) so that in each memory area only information for the relevant intended station is stored and thus, when the relay station (U) is in transmission mode, information from all stations can be continuously transmitted, thus saving address and memory capacity, and also transmission time (Figure 2). <IMAGE>

Each support (38, 40, 42) is a seating member (38, 40, 42) which houses a lens (58) to couple light between the optical conductor and a circuit card (12). In another, preferred, embodiment the optical conductor is housed in a groove or channel in a guide rail mounted upon the backplane (10). Separate cover members are releasably mounted upon the guide rail adjacent each circuit card (12). Each cover member has an aperture and lens to couple light between the reflector and the circuit card. The aperture and lens may be in a boss which couples in spigot-and-socket fashion with a tubular lens-carrying coupler mounted on the circuit card.

Abstract: A hydraulic clamp for dies of injection molding ma­chines, workpieces of machine tools such as press machines and the like. 
     In the front part of its housing a clamp arm (4) is install­ed to be longitudinally movable and vertically pivotable and a hydraulic cylinder (5) in the rear part thereof, and there is formed in at least either of a piston rod and the clamp arm a longitudinally extending hole (34) for accommodating a clamp arm pushing spring (32). An engaging means (36) is provided for en­gaging the clamp arm with the piston rod at substantially same level with the clamp arm pushing spring. When the hydraulic cylinder (5) is driven to extend, first the clamp arm (5) is pushed forward by the clamp arm pushing spring (32) and, when it is extended, a projected end portion of the clamp arm is pivoted down by the force-magnifying effect of a driving wedge (17) interlockingly connected with the piston rod. When the hydraulic cylinder (5) is driven to retract, first the driving wedge (17) withdraws to allow the clamp arm to pivot up­ward and then it retracts accompanying the piston rod via the engaging means. 
     Also provided is a clamping force holding spring (29) set in a clamping hydraulic chamber pre-assembled with a longi­tudinally extendable/retractable rod. 
     Another function provided is to detect the extended or retracted condition of the clamp arm, which is feasible by connecting interlockingly rods for detecting the position of the clamp arm and trigger either limit switch (7, 8) according­ly.
