Abstract: A color electrophotographic method wherein toner images of black, yellow, Magenta and cyan are superposed on a photosensitive material (54) and transferred to a piece of paper at a time. Black is transferred by the contact developing method and colors are transferred by the DC field fly-developing method, the exposure being effected while switching the exposure quantity for black and the exposure quantity for colors. In effecting the color exposure, furthermore, the exposure quantity is increased or decreased for the high-lighted portion and for the shadow portion. By switching the exposure quantity for black and colors, there is obtained a full-color image having high chroma in which black component and color components are well-balanced. In the color image portion, furthermore, the image features excellent reproducibility for high-lighted portion and shadow portion.

Abstract: Spark plugs, particularly those used in high-speed, high-compression engines, are subjected to an extreme range of pressure and temperature conditions. Therefore, it would be desireable for a spark plug to better resist these adverse conditions. In accordance with the invention a spark plug (10) having dynamic heat transfer means such as a heat pipe (62) or reflux condenser incorporated in the center conductor assembly (64) or in the insulator centerbore (46) is provided. The heat transfer means is thermally non-conducting below a design temperature such that the firing end of the spark plug retains heat to burn off fouling deposits. Above the design temperature range, a vaporizable medium in the heat transfer means vaporizes such that its change of state extracts heat from the firing end. The heat transfer means in the insulator (28) controls automatically the operative heat range of the spark plug.

Abstract: An electromagnetic heating device for heating a living body or an object (15), comprising a cavity resonator (11) made of hollow electroconductive material for receiving a living body or an object (15) therein and heating same by a high frequency electromagnetic field produced therein; and at least an electric field concentrator (14a, 14b) disposed in the cavity resonator (11) separately therefrom. Thus, it is possible to concentrate an electric field to a desired location to supply a strong current into a living body or an object (15). Further, since the electric field concentrator (14a, 14b) is electrically out of contact with the cavity resonator (11), a frequency adjusting element (17a, 17b) and an impedance matching element (19) may be easily provided in the vicinity for optimum transmission of high frequency electromagnetic energy thereby eliminating the need for adjusting the frequency of the high frequency electromagnetic energy source. Since an oscillator without the capability to change its frequency can be manufactured at a fraction of the cost for manufacturing a variable frequency oscillator, the cost of the overall heating device can be drastically reduced. By shaping the free end of the electric field concentrator (14a, 14b), it is possible to achieve a desired degree of energy concentration.

Abstract: A method and compositions for reducing friction between relatively slideable components is described comprising applying to a slideably engaging surface of the slideable components a lubricating amount of at least one Newtonian, or non-Newtonian, metal overbased salt of a carboxylic acid wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of lithium, calcium, sodium, barium, magnesium, and mixtures thereof, and the carboxylic acid comprises at least one linear unsaturated hydrocarbon group containing from about 8 to about 50 carbon atoms. The types of slideable components contemplated include flat bearings, rotating bearings, lead screws and nuts, gears, hydraulic systems, and pneumatic devices. The inventors have discovered that applying a metal overbased salt of the aforesaid carboxylic acids results in a remarkable reduction in static and dynamic coefficients of friction and provides anti-wear protection of an extreme pressure agent without requiring auxiliary friction-modifying agents or auxiliary extreme pressure agents.

Date Sep. 7, 1990.The method of the present invention is directed to information compression which allows for compatible decoding of a group of television signals with increasing resolutions. According to the present invention, a first step, at the transmitter, involves strobing the space frequency band of the signal to be transmitted which has the highest resolution into adjacent subbands. Then, the signal with the highest resolution to be transmitted is independently coded in each subband. The subbands are then multiplexed by separating the coded signals in each subband by means of non-imitable synchronizing patterns. At the receiving decoder, the signals received relative to each subband are decoded only taking into consideration those which are necessary in order to reconstitute at least one member of a resolution group. The present invention finds particular application in the transmission system for high-definition TV images.

Abstract: A circular opening (48) is formed in a structural wall (12). A tubular shank (28) of a nut mounting grommet (26) is inserted into the opening (48). The grommet (26) is moved endwise to place a shoulder surface on the base of a nut mounting cup (30) against the wall (12). A split sleeve is installed on a small diameter portion of a mandrel and the mandrel and sleeve are inserted into the tubular shank (28) from the side of the wall (12) opposite the nut receiving cup (30). The mandrel portions exert a radially outwardly expanding force on the split sleeve. The split sleeve in turn imposes a radially outwardly expanding force on the tubular shank (28). This causes a plastic deformation of the tubular shank (28), creating a tight interference fit between the tubular shank (28) and the sidewall of the opening (48). In this manner, the grommet (26) is firmly secured to the wall (12). Next, a nut (24) is inserted into the cup (30) with its threaded central opening (18) in alignment with the passageway through the tubular shank (28). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of producing a damp-proofing and/or corrosion-protecting membrane (M) on building structures (1), such as roofs, bridges or pipelines, and where the membrane comprises at least one material layer (2, 4). A layer of cold flow, damp-proofing and/or corrosion-protecting, reaction-setting, bitumen-based adhesive mixture (3) is layed in situ on a first material layer (2) already placed on the building structure (1), optionally merely directly on the building structure, said layer of adhesive mixture being layed in a thickness (t) corresponding to 10 to 80% of the total thickness (d) of the membrane (M). The latter thickness is in the range of 2 to 16 mm, and the adhesive mixture (3) is of a thick pasty consistency. Before the adhesive layer has set, a second material layer (4) is subsequently layed on the top side of said adhesive layer (3). As a result, the security risks are reduced as well as it is possible to improve the working environment in connection with the production in situ of the membrane, i.e. a reduced release of possible injurious vapours or fumes is provided. In addition, the membrane is very resilient and resistant to formation of cracks. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive transfer tape having a support and a detachable film of a pressure-sensitive acrylate-based adhesive. This tape is distinguished by the fact that the adhesive film contains alginic acid, preferably in an amount of from about 0.5 to 10% by weight. This adhesive transfer tape is produced by adding a water-dissolved alginate to an aqueous dispersion of an acrylate-based adhesive, and acidifying the resultant aqueous mixture with stirring in order to precipitate the alginic acid in finely divided form, applying the resultant adhesive dispersion to a flexible support in a conventional manner, and evaporating the aqueous component. The adhesive transfer tape obtained in this way can be employed particularly advantageously in rolled-up form in a hand device.
