Title: Arrangement on a vehicle.
Inventor: ANDERSSON STEFAN
IPC: B60D1/54
Filed: 1991-03-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement (2) on a vehicle (1) to permit the detachable attachment of vehicle trailers or other objects to the vehicle (1) in question in the area of the rear lower part (5) of the vehicle via said towing arrangement (2), which comprises a pivotally mounted towing coupling arm (4) with a coupling device (8) supported at a certain distance from the pivoting mounting (9) of the arm. The invention permits, amongst other things, the use of a towing hitch on a motor vehicle (1) which exhibits high ground clearance, together with the possibility of simply arranging the towing hitch in desired positions where it is readily accessible or concealed without encroaching on the ground clearance of the vehicle. The pivot shaft (3) for said pivoting mounting (9) is arranged at an angle when the towing arrangement (2) is fixed to the vehicle (1). The actuation of said towing coupling arm (4) causing it to pivot about the pivot shaft (3) causes the arm (4) to swing up or to swing down into the desired stowage position (II) or the position (I) ready for coupling to take place.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil de contrôle du fonctionnement de piles à combustible disposées en série. Plus particulièrement, le procédé et l'appareil impliquent la mesure et la comparaison des indicateurs de fonctionnement des piles à combustible, comme la tension, dans des groupes de piles connectées en série. Selon un premier aspect de l'invention, on compare la tension de chaque groupe de piles à combustible à une tension de référence égale à une tension minimum prédéterminée. Selon un deuxième aspect de l'invention, on compare la tension de chaque groupe à une tension de référence égale à la tension moyenne de tous les groupes de piles. Selon un troisième aspect de l'invention, on compare une tension de référence égale à la tension d'un groupe, à la tension de chacun des autres groupes de piles. Selon un quatrième aspect de l'invention, on compare la tension de chaque groupe, en tant que tension de référence, à la tension d'un groupe contigu de piles à combustible. D'autres variantes comprennent différentes combinaisons des premier, deuxième, troisième et quatrième aspects. Une alarme s'actionne et l'alimentation des piles en combustible, s'interrompt, quand la tension mesurée sur un groupe de piles diffère de la tension de référence en dépassant un différentiel de tension prédéterminé.

Abstract: The invention provides labeled proteins suitable for determining the presence of cAMP, other second messengers and organic molecules. The proteins are separately labeled with fluorochromes which, when in close spatial proximity, preferably, less than about 6 nm, interact through the transfer of energy from one fluorochrome to the other. A composition of matter, (S1.A)n1(S2.D)n2 is provided wherein S1 and S2 are two proteins which are associated in one state and substantially disassociated in another, the equilibrium between which is controlled by the free concentration of an analyte, and A and D are fluorochromes, the emission wavelength of fluorochrome D overlapping the excitation wavelength of fluorochrome A and the distance between A and D being in sufficiently close proximity to allow the radiationless transfer of energy between the fluorochromes. A and D can be selected from a variety of acceptor, donor pairs such as fluorescein and tetramethylrhodamine and derivatives thereof. The concentration of analytes such as cAMP in a sample can be determined by contacting the sample with (S1.A)n1(S2.D)n2 providing energy near the excitation wavelength of D and measuring the fluorescence of A or D, the concentration of cAMP and other said analytes being determined by the ratio of emission of D to the emission of A, previously calibrated with reference solutions of known analyte concentration.

Abstract: In a device for fixing and tensioning a blanket on a cylinder of a printing machine, the rubber blanket is to be held while it is mounted, and a long end of the rubber blanket is then to be tensioned with little effort. 
<??>According to the invention, this is achieved in that there is a rack (27) which can be actuated by a straining screw (21) and is operatively connected via an intermediate gear wheel (11) to teeth on the circumference of the tensioning shaft (3), and in that a retaining device is provided for the beginning of the blanket, which retaining device can be actuated via the intermediate gear wheel by means of a cam disc (16) and a ram (41). 
<??>The device can be actuated with little effort. Due to the long tensioning path of the ends of the rubber blanket, the beginning of the blanket can be readjusted once or several times following wear phenomena and the like.

Abstract: In a method for predictive video compression coding, image information is transmitted as successive image blocks each comprising n x m pixels, and (i) previously transmitted image information is searched to find a prediction block for a pixel block (A) to be transmitted by comparing the block with at least one previously transmitted image area (B) of equal size, and (ii) information proportional to the differences between the intensity values of the corresponding pixels of the block (A) to be transmitted and the found prediction block is transmitted to a receiver. In order that blocks corresponding in pattern to the block to be coded but differing from it in basic illumination could be used as a prediction block, and in order that the accuracy of the prediction blocks could be improved, the comparison is performed on the basis of pixel intensity values obtained by subtracting from the original intensity values (A i,j , B i,j ) a value representing the basic illumination of each image block, and that when the prediction block is found, (i) a difference image calculated in a manner known  per se  pixel by pixel on the basis of the original pixel intensity values (A i,j , B i,j ) is transmitted to the receiver, or (ii) a difference image calculated in a manner known  per se  pixel by pixel on the basis of said pixel intensity values is transmitted to the receiver as well as a difference value (DC e ) of the values representing the basic illuminations of the block to be transmitted and the prediction block.

Abstract: The present invention presents a displacement transducer which can be equipped both with an inductive (10) and with a capacitive (11) sensor. According to the invention, a time interval (T) is measured as a measure of the variable inductance or capacitance, a correction programme being used for compensating for the fluctuations in the ohmic resistance of the displacement transducer due to temperature influences or ageing so that the value of the inductance or capacitance is directly dependent on the measured variable, that is to say the troubled displacement attained by the sensor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Anodes for the generation of electrochemical processes, consisting of a support and an electrocatalytically active top-layer which contains iridium-oxide; a method for producing them and an electrochemical cell in which the anode is applied. The lifetime of such anodes may be prolonged substantially by choosing the oxygen/iridium-ratio between 2.1 and 2.9, the average particle seize of the iridium-oxide being between 3 and 100 nm. The lifetime may be prolonged even further by the presence of an intermediate layer, between support and top-layer, consisting of an oxide of Ta, Nb, Co of Pb or of a mixture thereof, if desired mixed with other metal-oxides. This intermediate layer affixes either directly to the support and the top-layer, or indirectly, via one or more additional intermediate layers.

Abstract: A method to achieve good stepper focus and exposure over an entire wafer for a particular mask level before the start of a product run is described. This method can also be used to produce a characterization of lens field curvature (i.e., a surface of optimum focus across the lens) and to characterize lens astigmatism, defocus sensitivity, relative resolution, and other characteristics, and to check the stepper for optical column tilt. The process prevents the complexities of resist development from affecting determination of focus. The process involves forming an array of latent images in a resist and examining the scattered light from the edges of the latent images. Analysis of the scattered light quickly provides information on correct exposure and focus together with lens characteristics over the printing field.

A second force (82) is then applied to the tube end (14) in the direction of the header plate (18) to cause the flange (20) to fold tightly over the tube end (14) to capture the same.
