Title: Gripper on shaft for transport of reinforcement components
Inventor: SCHWOERER ROMAN
IPC: E04C5/04
Filed: 1996-07-10
Abstract: The gripper (12) consists of components formed on towing tongs and the gripper jaws (29,30) move and/or raise the components (21,22,23) on movement to a take-over position (28). In the movement to the take-over position, a force (32) applied to the outer contour of the gripper is avoided. The gripper(s) automatically lengthen or shorten (19) in an x-direction and move (16) in a y-direction, until the force on the outer contour of the gripper is lifted and the gripper jaws hold the reinforcement components. The gripper (s) is/ (are) formed from a first and a second holding arm section (13,14) which are connected to one another by spring components (15), which make possible a turn into the y-direction. The second holding arm section in the x-direction is longitudinally displaceable or telescopically movable.

Title: Unit-type heat-and-power station
Inventor: TIPPKOETTER REINER
IPC: F02G1/043
Filed: 1996-10-21
Abstract: A procedure for generating heat and power has the following steps. (a) A hot fuel gas is generated. (b) This is cooled. (c) At least one IC engine is run with the cooled fuel gas. The cooling is done using a Stirling cycle. The fuel gas is generated by wood gasification. The waste heat of the IC engine(s) is used for a second Stirling process. The energy recouped from the Stirling processes is used for electricity generation. During the wood gasification, wood refuse is converted into a "lean gas". After cooling by the Stirling process this is passed to at least one gas motor acting as an IC engine. The whole process is used in a unit-type power station.

Patent DE-19646748-A1 (DE)
Inventor: KOSLAR MANFRED
IPC: G01S13/28
Filed: 1996-11-01
Abstract: A measuring or security system (1) for detecting the distance between an object (2) or a person (2) from a given point of reference, comprising a first transmitter/receiver device (10) enabling production of and wireless transmission of a control signal to a separate second transmitter/receiver device (30) and reception of an acknowledgement signal transmitted by the second transmitter/receiver device (30) on receiving control signal. Both transmitter/receiver devices (10,30) have a signal source (24,24,25,26) producing pulses as a control signal or an acknowledgement signal. Said pulses have a monotonously decreasing or increasing frequency during pulse duration or are made of overlapping pairs of like pulses. The other transmitter/receiver (10,30) has at least one dispersion filter (11) with a given frequency dependent signal transit time on its receive side so that received pulses can be time-compressed. Transit time is adapted to the modulation on transmit side in such a way that spectral signal components of the control or acknowledgement signal coincide substantially at dispersion filter output (11) as a result of varying frequency-dependent signal transit-times through said filter and appear thus with slight temporal imprecision.

Title: Micromechanical transmission measuring cell and reactor for sample fluid
Inventor: WOIAS PETER DR
IPC: G01N21/05
Filed: 1996-11-18
Abstract: The transmission measuring cell determines the optical absorption of a sample fluid. A light passage opening introduces light in the container (12).

The substrate (10) is made of silicon. The container has an elongated shape. The container is closed by a cover (20). The reflector unit is a wall, inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the container. A beam transformation of fed light is effected by a lens (6), whilst a further lens effects the reverse operation.
Patent DE-19703668-A1 (DE)
Title: Ride stability control system for wheeled vehicle esp for negotiating curved road sections
Inventor: FUKAMI MASANOBU
IPC: B60T8/1764
Filed: 1997-01-31
Abstract: The ride stability control system monitors the wheel slip of the driven wheels and the non-driven wheels as well as the cornering forces. If understeer or oversteer is detected then the stability controls regulates the brake force to counteract the steering deficiency and allow the vehicle to be driven through the curves with a stable control. If the brakes are applied manually during cornering this braking effect is taken into account in the automatic brake control. To correct for excessive braking the braking forces on the other wheels are adjusted by the stability control, depending on whether the excessive braking is on the driven wheels or on the non driven wheels.
Patent DE-19706127-A1 (DE)
IPC: H01F27/42
Filed: 1997-02-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a current transformer for mains alternating current with direct current components, comprising at least one transformer core (4) with a primary winding (2) and at least one secondary winding (3), whereby a load resistor (5) is parallel connected to the secondary winding and closes the secondary current circuit with a low resistance. A semi-conductor component which is opened and closed within each period over a suitable period of time is provided in the secondary current circuit. The secondary current circuit runs idle during this period of time. This reduces the build up of core magnetization produced by the direct current components so that the transformer core (4) cannot be driven to saturation and the transformer cores do not need to be over-dimensioned.
