Title: Electric time-controlled combination lock for protection against unauthorized use
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 1990-08-06
Abstract: 2.1 Electric time-controlled combination locks for entertainment electronics devices are known. To block the reproduction or the reception of a particular television transmission at the television receiver (childproofing), the user enters an additional codeword with the data which are required for programming for reception of the television transmission. Data and codewords are entered into a memory and a control device arranged in the set compares the stored codewords or data with the currently entered codeword or received data of the television transmission. 2.2 To enable even an unskilled user to block the reproduction of particular television transmissions in a simple manner, the corresponding data are automatically taken by means of data decoder or videotext decoder and, together with the codeword entered by the user, supplied to the memory. The control device also takes into consideration transmitter-controlled reprogramming or also provides for automatically blocking sets of a combination of sets. 2.3 The novel device utilises transmitter-controlled aids in a surprisingly simple manner for preprogramming a receiver in conjunction with childproofing. <IMAGE>

Patent EP-0405850-A3 (EP)
Title: Dielectric formation process and devices produced thereby
IPC: H01L21/768
Filed: 1990-06-22
Abstract: The occurrence of low-density regions 
in conformal layers deposited 
between raised topographic features 
(for example, metal runners) on an integrated 
circuit is prevented or reduced by the 
inventive process. The low-density regions 
(termed "soft oxides" when the conformal 
layer is an oxide of silicon), are 
preferentially attacked by subsequent 
etching procedures and produce undesired 
trenches which interfere with subsequent 
processing. The inventive process forms 
spacers, or fillets (60), between the raised 
topographic features (15). Then a conformal layer (79), 
such as dielectric formed from TEOS, may 
be deposited without causing the 
formation of low-density regions.

Patent EP-0576977-A3 (EP)
IPC: B01D53/70
Filed: 1993-06-23
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a process for cooling and purifying hot, dust-laden flue gases enriched with dioxins and other toxic components from a melting vessel, e.g., an arc furnace. Both the flue gases A, B generated during charging and those generated during the melting operation are collected, and the toxic components are removed in two ways. The flue gases A collected in the exhaust hoods 2 are fed into the filter 6, while previously blowing an additive 12, on which the toxic components settle before reaching the filter bags, into the flue gas stream A. The hot flue gases B drawn off directly from the arc furnace 1 are introduced into a combustion chamber 3 after passing through a water-cooled section 4, and are subjected to afterburning in the combustion chamber 3 to remove the toxic pollutants. These gases are then intermediately cooled in a second, water-cooled section 5, further cooled by adding more additional cold air A, and fed into the filter 7. The contaminated dust E is charged again into the arc furnace 1.

Title: Redundant switched reluctance motor
IPC: H02K37/04
Filed: 1993-05-13
Abstract: The stator assembly (32) of the multiple 
phase switched reluctance motor (30) has a plurality of 
inwardly salient teeth (34a-34l) terminating at a 
central bore (36). The rotor assembly (38) disposed for 
rotation in the bore (36) has a plurality of rotor teeth 
(42a-42d). The stator assembly (32) has at least one 
redundant pole set for each motor phase. The rotor 
assembly (38) has a corresponding proportional number of 
rotor teeth. The redundancy of the poles helps 
distribute ovalizing forces on the motor assembly. This 
lessens the effect of these forces and reduces motor 
noise produced by the assembly in response to the 
forces. In addition, the stator assembly (32) can have 
multiple teeth per pole and the rotor assembly (38) a 
multiple of the determined rotor teeth. The number of 
rotor teeth exceeds the number of stator teeth so the 
rotor teeth overlap the stator teeth. This improves 
starting torque in a desired direction of motor 
rotation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission with a simple
structure, which merely involves changing the phase angle in the direction of
eccentricity of the first eccentric ring
arranged off center with respect to the axis (A) so
as to operate the first distributing
valves of the hydraulic pump (P) having a swash plate
with a fixed angle of inclination, makes it possible to obtain any gear ratio up to
infinity beyond the gear ratio range obtained by varying the volume of the hydraulic
motor (M) having a swash plate with a
variable angle of inclination. Furthermore, the
gear ratio can be reliably controlled because the aforementioned gear ratio is
univocally determined according to the phase angle in the direction of eccentricity of
the first eccentric ring and does not change according to the magnitude of the load
on the output side. It is thus possible to increase the output side torque so as to
allow the vehicle to get underway smoothly by increasing the gear ratio at the time
the vehicle gets underway, for example.
