Patent DE-19940225-A1 (DE)
Title: Magnetic tape recording device, such as a video cassette recorder (VCR), for recording a video signal, uses storage circuit to store input video signal when normal recording is interrupted
Inventor: SAGARA KIKUO
IPC: H04N5/7826
Filed: 1999-08-19
Abstract: The input video signal (14) is recorded on the magnetic tape (6) directly under normal conditions or stored (10) by a control unit (13) when it is impossible to record directly to the magnetic tape. When it becomes possible to record again the storage unit is selected (9) for the magnetic tape to record the signal from and the current signal is transferred to the storage unit as the tape records from the storage unit. An Independent claim is included for a method of recording a video signal on a magnetic tape.

Abstract: The invention relates to the reduction of ore fines, whereby said ore fines (1) are pre-heated in a multi-stage suspension-type heat exchanger (I), calcined and subsequently reduced in at least one lowest heat exchanger stage (2) by adding a reducing agent in a stream of hot gas supplied to said stage. The invention aims to ensure an economic, constant reduction of ore fines in a relatively simple but extremely reliable manner, whilst at the same time permitting the suspension-type heat exchanger to be well regulated and controlled. To this end, the principal part of the reducing thermal treatment of the ore fines is carried out in a reactor loop (8) configured in the lowest heat exchanger stage of the suspension-type heat exchanger, with subsequent cyclone separation (2a) which is performed downstream of said loop. A hot reducing gas (7) is then introduced into the ascendant hot gas stream (5). The reducing gas is produced in a separate reactor vessel allocated to the reactor loop (8).

Title: Adjusting frequency of transmitter laser in optical transmission system
Inventor: SCHREIBLEHNER MARTIN
IPC: H04B10/572
Filed: 1999-12-30
Abstract: The method involves varying the frequency of the transmitter laser (SL) and measuring the transmission quality of a data channel at the receiver side. The frequency of the transmitter laser is controlled to achieve the optimal transmission quality. The frequency of the transmitter layer is experimentally varied by a control device (RE1), and the corresponding reception signal (DSE) is evaluated.  The frequency of the laser may be swept and controlled based on the lock-in principle. As a criterion for transmission quality, the channel error rate of the received signal, the signal-to-noise ratio or the power of the received signal is used.

Abstract: Fuses and detect circuits (124) in an integrated circuit
memory (100) include a copper fuse (208) and a fuse state
detect stage (202) for detecting the open circuit state or
the closed circuit state of the fuse (208). The fuse detect
circuit (124) provides an output signal corresponding to the
state of the fuse and during detecting, limits a voltage drop
across the fuse to an absolute value independent of a power
supply voltage applied to the integrated circuit memory.
The fuse detect circuit (124) operates at power up of the
integrated circuit memory (100) and is disabled after the
state of the fuse is detected and latched, and the power
supply is sufficient for reliable operation of the integrated
circuit memory (100). By limiting the voltage drop across a
blown copper fuse (208), a potential electro-migration
problem is reduced.

Abstract: New bacterial strains, in particular  Sphingobacterium spiritivorum  C-926 and
 Corynebacterium paurometabolum  C-924 with useful characteristics in the farming
sector due to their nematicidic effect, which can be used in this context for the bio-control
of nematodes. Bionematicides capable of effectively controlling phytopathogenic
nematode populations in various crops of interest. Useful strains may be isolated from
soil taken from areas habitually affected by a high incidence of nematodes, from
banana plants showing less severe symptoms of infestation. Strains are selected which
are capable of affecting the eggs of the nematode  Meloidogyne incognita,  in
experiments carried out under laboratory conditions. Active strains, such as
 Sphingobacterium spiritivorum  strain C-926 and  Corynebacterium paurometabolum 
strain C-924, are tested to assess the protection which the bacterial preparation,
applied directly, can provide to pumpkin and banana plants in relation to  Meloidogyne
incognita  and  Radopholus similis.  Strains may also be tested against the zoonematodes
 Haemonchus  sp. and  Trichostrongylus  sp. Control of these parasites allows veterinary
use. In addition to the nematodes referred to above, and selected due to the high losses
which they incur in crops, the strains may also be effective in the control of populations
of  Heterodera  ssp.,  Globodera  ssp., and  Pratylenchus  ssp., as well as other species of
zoonematodes.
