Abstract: A smear correction circuit for elimination of smear error within image sensing devices wherein image receiving means receive CCD image data, a determination of a smear scaling factor for smear estimation is made, the smear scaling factor being determined by a ratio of smear error per given level of illumination. The smear estimation means provide for the determining of a value for smear estimation on a per line basis. Adjustment of the image data is made corresponding to the smear estimation and dark level correction values prior applying the adjusted data to gain adjustment circuitry.

Abstract: A tapping fitting for a pipe, preferably a plastic pipe, includes a rotatable blade assembly (3) threaded within a sleeve (4) non-rotatably received within a housing (2) such that rotation of the blade assembly (3) causes it to cut a cylindrical slug from the pipe to which the housing (2) is attached. The opposite faces of the sleeve (4) are exposed to the fluid pressure within the pipe thereby producing a balance of forces substantially eliminating transverse creep. In addition, the attaching section (22) of the fitting is formed with a bore (21) which is engageable by a sealing ring (35) received around the rotatable blade assembly (3) and which is of sufficient length to accommodate any axial creep, thereby enabling the blade assembly (3) also to serve as a valve.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to a process for the production of colored metallic pigments, as well as these colored metallic pigments themselves, their use to color high molecular weight organic material in the mass and compositions or masterbatches containing them. 
     The colored metallic pigment consists essentially of multiple loose particles of 0.1-1000 µm size each, said particles comprising a core of a transition metals, half metal or alloy, preferably an aluminum flake, and a very fine, substantially continuous, uniform and homogeneous layer of organic pigment particles which is directly in contact with the metallic core. The core may be superficially oxidized. 
     The colored metallic pigment is prepared by a vacuum deposition process, said process being performed in an apparatus constructed, modified or charged in such a way that the organic pigment gas flows in direction of the metallic core.

Abstract: An electrical connector 2, for example for automotive airbag applications, comprises a locking device 44 that has locking extensions 52,53 insertable behind resilient latches 26 of the connector to securely lock them when the connectors are coupled. A pivotly mounted catch 56 prevents precocious insertion of the push button locking member 48 by engaging a shoulder 81 thereof. Upon full mating of the connectors 2 and 3, a camming protrusion 65 of the catch 56 abuts the mating connector causing rotation of the catch which releases the push button 48. The push button can then be fully depressed into the fully locked position. The catch has a spring member 71 that ensures rotation of the catch into its initial position, when the locking device 48 is pulled up to uncouple the connectors.

Abstract: The composite oxide and the composite oxide carrier are
manufactured by the precursor forming step and firing step. The
precursor forming step includes high speed mixing means. The
composite oxide catalyst is obtained by preparing a composite of
catalytic components simultaneously with the formation of the
precursor of composite oxide in the step of forming the precursor of
composite oxide. The composite oxide and the composite oxide carrier
are composed of a composite oxide in which at least one of cerium and
zirconium, and aluminium disperse with extremely high homogeneity.
With this structure, the heat resistance of the carrier is improved
and consequently, enlargement of particles of the composite oxide
defining the carrier, and sintering of adjacent particles of the
composite oxide can be restrained, whereby the catalyst using the
composite oxide carrier in accordance with the present invention is
excellent in heat resistance. With the present invention, the
carrier is not limited to a general catalyst carrier. The carrier may
be interpreted to indicate general formed bodies. For example, the
carrier with the present invention can be also used as materials for
sensors and electrodes, optical materials, semiconductors and
structure materials. Furthermore, the carrier can be used for a
three-way catalyst, NOx catalyst or oxidation catalyst or a part
thereof, and a promoter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un sélecteur de canaux et un procédé qui permettent d'établir une liaison radio entre un poste central et un poste d'abonné dans un système de radiocommunication comprenant au moins deux canaux de fréquences par lesquels ladite liaison radio peut être établie. Le sélecteur de canaux comprend une mémoire pour stocker les données identifiant au moins lesdits deux canaux de fréquences; une commande de sélection pour sélectionner un canal de fréquence dans ceux listés dans ladite mémoire; et une logique d'acquisition de liaison pour établir une liaison radio sur le canal de fréquence sélectionné par la commande de sélection. La commande de sélection répond à la logique d'acquisition de liaison, lorsque celle-ci est incapable d'établir ladite liaison radio, en sélectionnant un autre canal de fréquence dans ceux listés dans ladite mémoire. Par cette approche, il est possible d'augmenter le nombre de postes d'abonné pouvant être supportés par le système de radiocommunication, puisque si un canal de fréquences est totalement utilisé au moment où une liaison radio entre un poste d'abonné particulier et un poste central est demandée, un autre canal peut être sélectionné pour l'établissement de ladite liaison.
