Abstract: The incoming cells of a input asynchronous time-division multiplex channel (mtr) are counted by a counter (FFB) assigned to each virtual circuit which is incremented on each incoming cell of the virtual circuit and decremented periodically. Clock signals define consecutively numbered cell times (ntc). Queue and chaining table (FAVE, FCVN) define a cell time queue (FAF, FAL, FAV) specific to each of the cell times, a virtual circuit being assignable to a cell time by writing its identifier into the corresponding cell time queue. A controller (MC) uses the content of the cell time queues (FAF, FAL, FAV) and, for each cell time, identifies a virtual circuit to be processed and decrements the counter (FFB) belonging to this virtual circuit. The controller further includes arrangements whereby any virtual circuit whose counter is not idle is assigned to one of the cell times to be decremented by virtue of the arrival of this cell time.

Abstract: A recording material is prepared having a support (e.g., of paper and/or a polymer) on which is a layer containing polymeric (e.g., polyurea) microcapsules preferably of Tg 80 to 150°C containing a light-absorbent (preferably carbon black in a coverage of 0.1 to 10 g/m², optionally with a dye or pigment), a polymeric binder and an oil-soluble solvent. 
     The recording material is placed or wrapped around, a heated roller and heated to 10 to 50°C below the Tg of the microcapsules whilst being patternwise irradiated with a laser beam which makes the capsules walls more easily broken; the image-receiving film is then wrapped around the irradiated material and pressure of 40 to 490 Pa x 10⁵ exerted, whereby a visible negative image of the light-­absorbent and binder is formed on the image-receiving film. 
     If the receiving film is transparent, both films can be initially placed in contact and exposure made through the receiving film with a beam focussed on the film inter­face; and a positive image is then also formed in the receiving film. 
     The method gives a good image of high density using a low-power laser.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy with a sequence containing four high-frequency pulses, repeated many times and acting, in conjunction with a homogeneous stationary magnetic field, on an area of examination, which sequence contains two 180 DEG  pulses in the middle of which a third pulse is located and which are preceded by a first pulse, the distance of which from the second pulse, which is equal to or greater than the distance between the other pulses, is varied during the repetition of the sequence, and an arrangement for carrying out the method. This method can be adapted to in vivo examinations of the human body by the fact that during three of the four pulses, magnetic gradient fields are active, the gradients of which extend perpendicularly to one another, that before and after the third high-frequency pulse a magnetic gradient field is active which has such a duration and such a gradient that the temporal integral over this field has the same magnitude in amount before the third pulse as after the third pulse.

IPC: B62D7/14
Filed: 1991-11-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a four-wheel vehicle including provision for controlling the steering position of each of the four wheels (32L, 34L; 32R, 34R) so that the rolling axes of all the wheels will intersect at a common point (X) around which the vehicle will turn. The control is provided by a pair of cables (46L, 46R), one on each side of the vehicle, each cable interconnecting a pair of front and back wheels to pivot the wheels of that pair through similar angles in opposite directions. 
     The variance in angular turning between wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle is achieved by wrapping each cable around an associated cam pulley (52, 58). The two cam pulleys (52, 58) are identical, and are mounted in antiphase on opposite ends of a common transverse shaft (60) so that they rotate in unison while their winding radius is changing. The two cables (46L, 46R) are separately driven at different rates by a pair of double-acting hydraulic cylinders connected in parallel to a conventional power steering unit, whereby the winding in and paying-out of the cables on the cam pulleys (52, 58) at different radii as they rotate in unison causes the wheels on opposite sides to pivot at different angular rates.
