Abstract: The geodetic instrument contains a component (1) for optically imaging a target, and a camera (2) for electronically detecting the image generated in the optical instrument part. A reference marker (20) is located in the optical part (1) of the instrument, this marker being located outside the area of this instrument part through which the optical axis passes. The image of the target is projected into the area located within the reference marker. The camera is connected to a circuit arrangement which can determine both the centroid of the image of the reference marker and the centroid of the image of the target and which can determine not only the length but also the direction of the path between the two centroids. 
<??>This instrument can be used for automatically surveying an object or an area.

Abstract: In an electric motor driven automotive cruise control apparatus, the engine throttle (62) is progressively released upon actuation of the vehicle service brakes to avoid objectionable pedal slap noise. The release is initiated by the electric motor (10), which drives the engine throttle toward its closed (rest) position while maintaining engagement of a clutch mechanism (60) connected therebetween. If the duration of the brake actuation exceeds a reference interval sufficiently long as to indicate potentially significant braking effort, the clutch mechanism is immediately disengaged to return the engine throttle to its closed position without further delay. If the duration of the brake actuation is less than the reference interval, engagement of the clutch mechanism is maintained until the electric motor has returned the engine throttle to its closed position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for applying a metallic coating to metallic sealing regions and/or thread regions, subject to a high surface pressure of steel pipes, by means of a pretreatment, consisting of cleaning and degreasing, of the surface to be coated and an electrolytic deposition of a tin layer, by a first heat treatment at a temperature between 150 and 200 DEG C and a second brief heat treatment above the melting point of tin with subsequent cooling. To indicate a process for applying a metallic coating to the sealing region and/or thread region of steel pipes for crude oil and natural gas production, by means of which seizing is reliably prevented in a grease-free screwed union even in the case of repeated screwing and whose sealing effect is optimised, it is proposed first to apply a base layer consisting of or containing tin to the sealing and/or thread regions and then electrolytically to deposit thereon an element or an alloy from the group of the ductile non-ferrous metals to form a top layer and subsequently to heat the zone thus treated for 1-10 seconds at a temperature up to 50 K above the melting point of tin.

Abstract: An antenna (20) is formed of a two-dimensional array of radiating apertures disposed in rows (22) and columns (24), each of the radiating apertures being formed as slots (40) within a top broad wall (28) of a waveguide (26). The width of the broad wall is many times greater than the height of a sidewall (32, 34) of the waveguide, the waveguide having a rectangular cross section. A wave launcher (56) connected to a first end wall (36) of the waveguide launches a higher-order mode of electromagnetic wave wherein the order of the mode is equal to the number of columns of the radiating elements. The top broad wall (28) has an enlarged thickness of approximately one-eighth free-space wavelength. Each of the slots extends via a passage (46) from an input port (48) at an interior surface (52) of the top broad wall to an output port (50) at an exterior surface (54) of the top broad wall. All of the slot output ports are centered at the locations of maximum intensity of electric field. In order to provide for magnetic coupling from an electromagnetic wave within the waveguide to longitudinal sides of each slot, each slot passage is inclined so as to displace the slot input port to a location wherein there is sufficient magnetic field component parallel to the slot to couple power from the wave to be radiated from the antenna. Inclinations of successive ones of the slot passages are staggered for coupling from magnetic wave components of equal polarization and phase.
