Title: Lamp circuit control
Inventor: NEISZER JOHANN
IPC: H05B41/392
Filed: 1997-02-28
Abstract: The control consists of at least one inductive or capacitive ballast (18) and a discharge lamp (16), preferably a fluorescent or high pressure lamp, connected to the output of an AC source (10). The output frequency of the AC source can be changed to alter the lamp output. The AC source has a constant output voltage and the output frequency can be altered according to the deviation of the lamp output from the rated output. When using an inductive ballast apparatus, the output frequency is increased to set a reduced lamp output. The smallest output frequency to set the rated output is between 50 and 150 Hz and the largest frequency to set the defined minimum output is between 170 and 600 Hz.

Patent DE-19714605-A1 (DE)
Inventor: VOLLE BERND DR
IPC: F16D43/14
Filed: 1997-04-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a torque converter and/or transmitter comprising a rotationally arranged driving part (10) transmitting input torque and a rotationally arranged output part (13) mounted concentrically thereto which is subjected to output torque. One of the two parts has a discharge member (12) configured more particularly as a discharge roller which is guided along a peripheral surface (14) of the other part (13). Said peripheral surface (14) is provided with areas having differing radial distances to the rotational axis (15). In order to transmit torque during movement, the at least one discharge member (12) is radially displaced along the peripheral surface (14) as a consequence of the various distances existing between the axis and the peripheral surface. This enables positive transmission of torque or power without necessarily requiring frictional forces. Such torque converters can, like hydraulic torque converters, tolerate adjustment of output torque without the need for coupling and provide mechanical performance which is the same or better than gear transmissions.

Title: Determining focus position of light beam in bar=code reader
Inventor: PIERENKEMPER HANS-WERNER
IPC: G06K7/10

Title: Procedure for increasing overall efficiency of hybrid drive with at least one IC engine and at least one electric motor
IPC: F02B35/02
Filed: 1997-07-03
Abstract: A procedure is described for improving the overall efficiency of a hybrid drive with at least one IC engine and at least one electric motor as drive sources, using exhaust energy recovery with at least one exhaust-driven turbogenerator. The exhaust energy accumulating during operation of the IC engine is used for the generation of electrical energy so that without further energy supply, an additional energy potential is available for use by the electric motor of the hybrid drive. A significant increase in efficiency, especially in the part-load range of the IC engine, is made possible. To increase the exhaust energy recovery potential in the exhaust duct behind the last exhaust turbine stage, a vacuum is generated relative to the ambient pressure.
