Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for the nondestructive readout of a latent electrostatic image formed on a sheet or layer of insulating material. A sheet or layer (419) of semiconductor material is disposed in relatively close proximity to the insulating material (413, 421). A latent electrostatic image formed on the insulating material (413) (by any known means) causes a surface depletion layer to be produced by induction at the surface of the semiconductor material (419). The location and distribution of the accumulated charges on the semiconductor material are read out as analog electrical signals corresponding to the AC surface photovoltage induced on the semiconductor material as the semiconductor material is scanned with a low intensity modulated light beam of appropriate wavelength, the magnitude of the analog signals depending on the local charge density. The analog electrical signals so obtained are then digitized, processed and stored and/or displayed.

Abstract: The setting tool, consisting essentially of a mandrel (1) and an associated ball (3), is screwed into the thread of a fastening element (5) to be set. The ball (3) is held in a receiving space (2a) and serves as a stop which limits the screwing of the setting tool into the fastening element (5). Since the ball (3) forms only a punctual support with the mandrel (1), the friction torque arising when screwing in the fastening element (5) between the ball (3) and the mandrel (1) is very low, so that the setting tool can be unscrewed from the fastening element (5) again without difficulty after the fastening element (5) has been set.

Abstract: In order to be able to cover a wall (1) or ceiling with panels (3), it is normally necessary to attach a supporting device to the wall. The supporting device consists of a plurality of supports (2) attached parallel to one another in the case of rectangular panels. They can be fastened to the wall (1) or ceiling directly or via intermediate members, for example holders (37). On each support, two mutually facing, lateral ends of adjacent panels are held and supported at the rear. A plurality of such rows are situated above one another in a wall covering. Each panel is mounted with preferably two supporting elements (5) gripping round its bottom end and two holding elements (6) embracing its top end. To prevent lateral displacement in the panel plane, the pressing against the holding tabs (25 and 26) of the elements (5 and 6) is effected by means of the resilient force of at least one pressing element (27) on each lateral vertical edge. Each support (2) has two holding grooves (12 and 13) for the holding and supporting elements (6, 5), said grooves being arranged laterally spaced apart, extending in the longitudinal direction of the support and being open towards the panel plane. The holding element (6) is fastened to the base of the groove for example by means of a rivet. The supporting element (5) is supported thereon with its downwardly pointing fastening leg (19). In the final assembly, the latter is directly in front of the upwardly projecting fastening leg (7) of the holding element (6). The entire thickness of the two fastening legs is so dimensioned that they fit, both in the horizontal direction (in the case of a wall covering) and perpendicularly to the wall, exactly into the groove, which is preferably C-shaped in cross-section. The weight of each panel is borne by the rivet of the holding element (6), whereas forces directed transversely to the wall plane can be absorbed by the two longitudinal strips (15 and 16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In order to prevent discharging of the battery when a load with a high power drain is connected up in a motor vehicle, a signal which corresponds to the charge state of the battery is derived during operation with the load disconnected. When the load is connected, this signal is reduced by corresponding values until a lower limit value is undershot. This lower limit value represents a discharge state which makes it necessary to switch off the electrical load with a high power drain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for collecting and turning signatures for forming complete part book blocks. For the purpose of dispensing with an otherwise required separate turning apparatus, the device according to the invention has two identical fan wheels situated horizontally next to one another whose centre lines run parallel to one another and which are driven at the same speed in mutually opposite directions of rotation in such a way that the receiving compartments move downwards towards the despatch conveyor from the discharge station of the signatures, firstly in the direction of the receiving position and then in the direction of the point between the two paddle wheels. The receiving compartments of the two fan wheels are offset relative to one another in the circumferential direction in such a way that, in their mutually facing regions, and as seen in the circumferential direction, each paddle of the one fan wheel protrudes approximately into the centre of a receiving compartment of the other fan wheel. Provided behind the transverse cutting device, as a deflector, is a switchable tongue by means of which the signatures are optionally passed on to one of two conveyors having pairs of belts, each of these conveyors leading to the beginning receiving position of a receiving compartment of one of the two fan wheels. When two different part book blocks are placed one on the other in the collecting cycle, this tongue is switched from its one position to its other position. The despatch conveyor runs in the centre between the two fan wheels parallel to the axes of rotation of the two fan wheels and during the deposition is in the rest position.

Abstract: For particular uses, it is necessary for the space round the wheel axle in the region between the wheel centre and the engine to be freely accessible. This presents problems as regards the arrangement of the steering gear, since the usual design criteria still have to be satisfied. The new steering device will make it possible for the arrangement of the steering gear to become easier. This problem is solved by, among other things, connecting the steering lever (4) to the radius rod (8) via a joint (6), and, at the end of the radius rod (8) further away from this, connecting one arm of an idler lever (12), consisting of two arms arranged in a V-shaped manner, to the radius rod (8) via a joint (10), the other arm being articulated on a track rod (18). The end of the radius rod (8) located nearer the joint (6) is articulated on a track rod (17) via a joint (9). The steering lever (4), the radius rod (8) and the idler lever (12) form a parallelogram, the length of the radius rod (8) corresponding to the distance between the axes of rotation (5, 13) of the steering lever (4) and of the idler lever (12). The steering device can be used in combination with all steerable wheel suspensions for front axles. <IMAGE>
