Patent EP-0276305-A1 (EP)
Title: Apparatus and method for measuring battery condition.
Inventor: BURKUM MERLIN E
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1987-07-27
Abstract: A testing device measures the impedance of secondary cells that form a battery, such as a lead acid battery, while the battery is in a float charge condition and connected to an active electrical load. The impedance measurement is made at a frequency selected to be different from those frequencies otherwise present in the charger-load circuit. A first application of the testing device monitors the battery for a change in impedance that can signal a developing defect in one or more individual cells or intercell connections that can prevent the battery from delivering its stored energy to the load. In a second application, the testing device is used to compare the impedance of individual cells and electrical connections to locate faulty components.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material containing a novel surfactant is disclosed. The surfactant enables uniform coating of hydrophilic colloidal layers without causing any adverse effects on photographic characteristics. The surfactant can also be used as a good dispersion medium for polymer latices in hydrophilic colloids thereby enabling uniform coating of such colloids. As a result, a silver halide photographic material having improved film properties in such aspects as scratch resistance, dimensional stability and flexibility can be produced.

IPC: G02F1/1347

Abstract: An optical beam scanner incorporating an array of beam deflection elements 
commonly controlled to steer an optical beam impingent on the array is described. 
The beam steering elements are arranged in the array as individually controlled 
elements and the deflection of the beam is accomplished by setting the phase tilt 
and the phase offset of each element according to a calculation which removes 
modulo 2π phase shift from the required position relative to a flat plane. Thus, the 
array elements can be thin and need only supply about 2 radians of phase shift. 
These elements may be incorporated in a planar array using beam deflection elements 
such as liquid crystal beam deflectors by choosing a drive scheme representing either 
a blazed array or a flat piston array. Operation may be designed for a large range of 
light wavelengths and the system may efficiently accommodate a combination of the 
blazed and flat piston techniques to obtain beam deflection characteristcis otherwise 
unavailable by the exclusive use of each individual technique. By use of the liquid 
crystal phased array approach, rapid, high accuracy, large area beam deflection is 
possible without the necessity of any moving parts and with low power drive 
requirements. Phased arrays of the type described above may be arranged in 
successive parallel planes with an common beam axis to provide two-dimensional 
beam of deflection.

     Abstract 
     The invention relates to a device for internally graphitizing the neck surface of the cone 
of chathode-ray tubes. Such a device comprises a frame (110) carrying two arms, including 
(7a), which are capable of rotating about an axis, including (yy), and carrying each a flange 
(9a), for example, adapted each to a given type of cone (1). Said flange (9a) has two func­
tions: one function is to provide for the centering according to an axis (xx) of the neck (3) of 
the cone (1) and the other function is to define a reference line (L R ). With these arms cooper­
ate, on the one hand, a bearing plane (4) on which the cone (1) is layed and centered in a hor­
izontal plane, and on the other hand, a graphitizing system (77) so that the brush (21) reaches 
in its high position a predetermined upper limit (Lg), and finally, a combination of means 
providing for the upwardly translational motion of the bearing plane (4) and of the graphitiz­
ing system, the regulated lowering of the latter, the bearing plane remaining motionless dur­
ing this lowering phase of the brush (21). The invention applies to the fabrication of cathode­
ray tubes.

Abstract: An adsorption device with a stock tank and a reaction vessel has a number of gas baffle devices for the entering raw gas. The pure gas is taken off above the raw gas inlet (12) at a pure gas outlet (13) which is located just below a separation tray (10) between the stock chamber (2) and the reaction chamber (3). The separating tray (10) has passages (20) for the adsorption material continuing to flow from above. Around the passages, cavities form which all communicate with the pure gas outlet (13). In the novel adsorption device, it is ensured that the raw gas always meets fresh adsorption material. The gas to be purified is here largely passed in counter-current to the adsorption material. <IMAGE>
