Patent EP-0414417-A1 (EP)
Inventor: VAN DER ZANDEN GEORGE CHRISTIA
IPC: E06B9/308
Filed: 1990-08-08
Abstract: The specification discloses a method of assembling two different venetian blinds having two different slat widths, the flexible elements 14, 16 of a ladder means of which are each mounted on a tilt roll 10, the flexible element of each pair extending down the different opposite lateral outermost points 18, 20 of the tilt roll 10. Identical tilt rolls are utilized for the ladder means of the blinds of first and second widths. The flexible elements of each ladder means of the blind of slats of lesser width are attached to the respective tilt rolls 10 (Figure 1A), so that they extend directly from the securing means 12 of the tilt roll to the laterally outermost points 18, 20 of the roll 10. The flexible elements of each ladder means for the blind with the slats of greater width are attached to the respective tilt roll 10 , so that each of the flexible elements 14, 16 of each pair extends from the securing means 12 of the tilt roll 10 around at least half of the periphery of that tilt roll to reach the laterally outermost points 18, 20 of that roll when the blind is in its fully opened position. Thus the tilt roll must be rotated a greater distance for the blind of greater slat width than for that of the lesser slat width to give a given angle of tilt.

Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding panel (1, 2, 3, 4, P5) incorporates at least two electroconductive coatings (10 and 6, 7,8). In two of the panels (1,2) the coatings are carried on separate sheets of float glass (5,9), one of the coatings 10 being an anti-abrasive coating is on the outermost surface of the glass (9) in the panel arrangement, while the other coating (6,7,8) being a relatively soft abrasive-sensitive coating, e.g. silver, is on the innermost of the glass 5 in the panel arrangements. In other panel arrangements (3,4,P5) the two coatings are located on opposing sides of one glass sheet 9 and on two of the panels (3,4) a plain sheet of float glass (11) is employed to protect the soft silver coating (6,7,8). In another panel (P5) a sheet of glass (9) carrying an anti-abrasive coating (10) is employed. The panels are of the double glazed type (Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 5) and the laminated type (Fig. 2, Fig. 4). This invention utilises the enhanced capacitive coupling (C) between the two coatings (10 and 6,7, 8) to effectively earth the innermost silver coating (6,7,8) by way of the anti-abrasive coating 10 without any direct electrical connection being required to be made to the innermost coating (6,7,8).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de traçage d'un réseau périodique de non-linéarité, à espace permanent, à accord de phase, de second ordre, dans un guide d'ondes optique. Un rayonnement d'excitation à fréquence unique est lancé dans une paire de modes guidés du guide d'onde, en présence d'un champ électrique extérieur de courant continu appliqué dans un sens transversal au guide d'onde. Le rayonnement d'excitation peut être soit à co-propagation soit à contre-propagation. On peut affiner le procédé précité en l'appliquant une fois pour une valeur estimée de fréquence de rayonnement d'excitation, en testant ledit guide d'ondes afin de déterminer une erreur dans l'estimation choisie, en effaçant le réseau et en appliquant à nouveau ledit procédé avec une valeur de fréquence du rayonnement d'excitation corrigée.

Abstract: A self-adjusting impedance matching driver for a digital circuit. The driver has both a pull-up gate (42) to VDD and a pull-down gate (44) to ground. An array of gates is provided in parallel with each of the pull-up gate and the pull-down gate, with any one or more of such gates being selectively enabled in response to circuit means that monitors the impedance match between the output of the driver and the network it drives. By enabling selectively such gates, any impedance mismatch can be minimized. The selective enablement may be done only at power up, and thereafter only if the driven network is changed substantially.

Abstract: A layered photosensitive medium (30) is modified to reduce the effects of destructive interference within the medium caused by reflection from coherent light incident thereon. The modification is to roughen the surface of the substrate (32) upon which the ground plane (34) is formed, the ground plane formed so as to conform to the underlying surface roughness. Light reflected from said ground plane is diffused through the bulk of the photosensitive layer breaking up the interference fringe patterns which are later manifested as a plywood defect on output prints made from the exposed photosensitive medium.

Abstract: A known water-collection tank for separating or unsticking surface coating agents has provision for an outflow-side cross-channel (8) to be connected to the said tank, which channel has an outflow slope (13) and a calming zone (10) with slowly flowing calming flow and a comparatively large depth. It is proposed to design the abovementioned cross-channel (8) not to be deep but rather, for the most part, to have an essentially horizontal flat flow section, in particular by arranging an intermediate floor. Due to the small depth, the fed-in particles of surface coating agent which contain air are held in the region of the surface of the water. The particles of surface coating agent which float up can be easily removed with simple, preferably mechanical means from the water which is then purified. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved method of finishing surfaces having irregular stepped portions or other edges and improved apparatus therefor. The method of the present invention includes rough finishing the surface by utilization of a rotary tool with a first abrasive pad (20) attached thereto. The first abrasive pad (20) includes an abrasive body portion (22) with an outer peripheral edge (23). A substantially flexible outer rim portion (24) extends outward from the peripheral edge (23) of the pad (20). According to a second step of the present invention, finished sanding of the surfaces is accomplished by utilization of a rotary tool with a second abrasive pad (100) attached thereto. The second abrasive pad (100) includes a backing substrate (102) and at least one abrasive segment (104,106,108) attached thereto. The total abrasive surface encompassed by the abrasive segment is from about 1% to about 30%. With the finishing pad (100) of the present invention hydraulic suction is minimized thereby allowing greater forces to be placed on the abrasive pad (100) for increasing abrasive cutting efficiency of a particular sized abrasive grit.
