Patent EP-0372443-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MOLL REINER
IPC: A45D20/24
Filed: 1989-12-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a hair-drying hood (1) having heating elements (8) constructed as infrared radiating elements and a fan (13). The known apparatuses of this type usually have a bell-shaped form and have the disadvantage that an accumulation of heat is formed which is uncomfortable for the user. In order to provide a basic improvement in this case, the hair-drying hood is formed as a laterally open, approximately crescent-shaped bent cap (1) with the heating elements (8), an arm (4, 5) provided with heating elements (12) extending on each side approximately from the one end of said cap in the direction of its other end and a box-shaped projection with the fan (13) extending in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A transmission ratio selector mechanism for a transmission having a multi-ratio main change speed gear X and a range change gear set Y in series. The selector mechanism includes a gear lever 120 which is movable in a number of planes for the selection of the operative ratio (1,2,3,4) of the main change speed gear X and also has a plane of movement (n) corresponding to a neutral condition (NE) of the main change speed gear. The gear lever 120 is also movable whilst in the neutral plane (n) to a range change position (H/L) to affect a change in the operative range of the transmission . Each movement of the gear lever (120) to the range change position operates switch means (144) which operates a solenoid-controlled fluid-flow control valve which controls the supply of pressurised fluid to a fluid-pressure-operated range change actuator (114,115).

IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1990-12-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for resolving a common name purported to identify a database entry with the database entry names stored in the index. The purported and entry names each comprise a first field, a second field, and a third field, with at least the first field including at least one word. Purported names are provided to the name resolution process in a normalized form referred to as the "Common Name" format. Entry names are stored in a similar normalized form. The name resolution process begins by determining an exact match score and initializing count fields. The process then constructs a set of all index entries having first (surname) fields matching the first (surname) field of the purported word. The process then selects an initial "guess" at the surname component of the purported name and identifies all index entries having either (a) surnames equal to the last word of the purported name "surname" field or (b) multiple word surnames whose last word equals the last word of the purported name "surname" field. Then, for each of the entry names in the set, the process compares the first fields of the entry name and purported name and, if the first fields of the purported and entry names do not match, selects another entry name from the set. The process then selects a second field from the purported name and compares the second fields of the purported and entry names. In this comparison, the order of words in the second fields is immaterial, that is, only the number of matching words in the fields is considered. The process selects a third (personal name) field from the purported name and performs the following sequence of steps for each word in the third field of the purported name. The process compares the selected word of the purported name with the word in the same position in the third field of the entry name. If the words match, the process selects the next word in the third (personal name) field of the purported name and returns to the start of this sequence. If the words do not match, but a word exists in the third field of the entry name that is comparable to the word selected from the third field of the purported name, the process compares the initial characters of the words in the third fields of the purported and entry names. An alternate or additional embodiment of the process of the present invention also provides for an additional comparison for alternate or alias names in the third (personal name) field. The final step of the process then determines a comparison score for the degree of similarity between the purported and entry names and selects the best match.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ophthalmological apparatus in which a laser beam (1) is directed into an eye (E) under examination to evaluate the amount of scatter produced within the eye. The laser beam is generated by a semiconductor laser (5), which is controlled in terms of temperature using a Peltier element (100). This arrangement eliminates temperature-dependent fluctuations in the semiconductor laser and enables the stable oscillation of the laser, thus improving the accuracy of ophthalmological measurements.

Abstract: High purity ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic acid) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane1,4,7,10-tetra(methylenephosphonic acid) are prepared by dissolving the aminomethylenephosphonic acid in an aqueous base, acidifying with a mineral acid at an elevated temperature to precipitate the crystals, maintaining the solution at an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to assure crystallization, cooling to a lower temperature and maintaining at that temperature for a time sufficient to precipitate the crystals and filtering the resulting crystals at that temperature, washing the crystals with water and recovering the desired high purity aminophosphonic acid. The ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic acid) is obtained in a purer state during its synthesis if the crystals are filtered hot without prior cooling.

Abstract: A method for cleaning glass panes, over which a windscreen wiper passes, in particular the windscreens and rear windows of motor vehicles, is proposed in which water and a glass polishing agent, in particular ceroxide are applied to the glass pane. The polishing process which takes away the hydrophobic dirt layers on the glass pane is carried out by the window wiper. In order to apply the glass polishing agent to the glass pane, said agent is applied in particular as a layer (12) to the lip (10) of the wiper rubber (11) of the window wiper. However, the glass polishing agent can also be contained in the material of the wiper rubber (11) or as a suspension in the wiper water. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a display unit, the present invention comprises means (1, 3, 6) for setting a black level in a first display screen (ARA) having a first aspect ratio and a black level in a second display screen (ARN) having a second aspect ratio to a predetermined level each. 
     The darkest signal of a video signal is detected from an image area (ARB) corresponding to the second display screen (ARN), and the darkest signal thus detected is lowered to a predetermined level in an image area (ANB) corresponding to the first display screen (ARA). The capability that the black level lowered video signal on the second display screen will not be lowered can thus be avoided effectively.
