Patent DE-19635598-A1 (DE)
Inventor: FOCKE HEINZ
IPC: B65G47/51
Filed: 1996-09-02
Abstract: A handling installation is disclosed, in particular for cigarettes. Known installations for handling cigarettes have a reservoir for temporarily storing the cigarettes, a maker (10) for the cigarettes and a packer (11). The maker (10) is arranged upstream of the reservoir (12) and the packer (11) is arranged downstream of the reservoir (12). In known installations, synchronising the action between reservoir (12), packer (11) and maker (10) causes problems. In the disclosed installation, the working speed of the maker (10) and packer (11) is controlled depending on a measured filling level of the reservoir (12). When the filling level of the reservoir (12) is low, the working speed of the maker (10) is increased, when the filling level is high, said speed is decreased. On the contrary, the working speed of the packer (11) is increased when the filling level is high but reduced when the filling level is low.

Title: Low drag continuously variable transmission for vehicle
Inventor: SCHOPF WALTER DIPL-ING
IPC: F16H61/662
Filed: 1997-01-21
Abstract: The continuously variable transmission has a flexible belt looped over two pairs of cone flanges whose relative spacing determines the transmission ratio.

Patent DE-19717183-A1 (DE)
Title: Transport method for sheet-like object
Inventor: MIKI WATARU
IPC: B65H9/14
Filed: 1997-04-24
Abstract: The method includes the steps of using feeder reels (FR3) for transporting a sheet of paper until it collides with a pair of resistance reels (RR) in a stopped condition. It arranges the side of the leading end of the sheet in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction. It then drives both the feeder reels as well as the resistance reels (RR) to transport the sheet to a next process. The rotation speed of the feeder reels is controlled so that the sheet is transported with a predetermined speed to the resistance reels. The transport speed of the sheet is reduced from a predetermined position, before the sheet collides with the resistance reels, until it collides with the resistance reels.

Patent DE-19743202-A1 (DE)
Title: Video signal encoding method for e.g. digital television systems
Inventor: LEE SANG-HOON
IPC: H04N19/176
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: The current motion vector encoding method is based on a number of reference motion vectors, that represent the displacement between a search block in a current frame and a reference block in a previous frame. The method utilizes motion vectors which include both horizontal and vertical components. In a shape or shape-texture combined mode, valid reference motion vectors are found, the vectors having corresponding reference blocks that comprise a boundary of an object. Valid reference motion vectors are counted and a first selection signal is generated if the number of valid vectors is equal to zero, otherwise a second selection signal is produced. A predictor for the current motion vector among the reference vectors is then determined, where the predictor is selected first from the valid vector for shape if there is a valid vector for shape, and otherwise, selected from the valid vector for texture in shape-texture combined mode. To determine an optimum predictor the zero value is selected in response to the first selection signal or the predictor is selected in response to the second selection signal. As a result, of the optimum value, the difference between a component of the current motion vector and a first component of the optimum predictor is determined. The difference is also determined for the second component of the current motion vector and the second component of the optimum predictor, thereby generating encoded data of the current motion vector. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for encoding a current motion vector based on a plurality of reference motion vectors.

Title: Equipment removing soot from e.g. open-flame light sources such as candles or kerosene lamps and disposing of it harmlessly
Inventor: WEIGELT HARTMUT DR
IPC: F23G7/07
Filed: 1997-10-06
Abstract: Rising soot is removed on catalytic or pyrolytic metal sheets (2). Preferred features: Sheets (2) are located in a chimney (1) which is e.g. hood-like, trapezoidal or rectangular in form. Sheets are employed for catalysis or pyrolysis of the soot. Resulting carbon dioxide escapes. The chimney can be shut off. The closure sheets (4) can be slid into one another, telescopically. Sliding may be achieved mechanically; a motor may be used. The catalytic sheets have channels for the rising hot air containing soot. They filter the soot and are formed for optimal filtration effect. Soot destruction is monitored by sensors. Catalytic sheets operate at lower temperatures than pyrolytic sheets, in e.g. the region 150-600 deg C. The sensor is connected with the current supply for the catalytic or pyrolytic soot removal, such that following cessation of purification, the current supply is interrupted. The chimney is mounted on a support (7), which is connected to the open flame light source support (8). Both supports are interconnected  or the source support can be moved freely for central arrangement under the chimney support. The source is cooled for optimum stoichiometry during combustion of the illuminant fuel (candle wax, paraffin, etc.). Sources may have conventional cooling systems. The chimney can be closed by lamellae, under sensor or manual actuation.
