Title: Underground storage installation for waste heat energy for re-use in buildings - has disused mine workings bricked up and thermally lined, containing heat exchanger and fluid or solid material
Inventor: SCHULZ HEINZ-JOACHIM DR ING
IPC: E21F17/16
Filed: 1992-01-22
Abstract: The storage of waste heat energy for re-use in buildings, both industrial and residential, can be undertaken using the underground workings of a mine. A disused chamber can be bricked off and thermal insulation or sealant can be applied around the inner surface. The chamber is then filled with either a saturated liquid, forming an artificial lake, or solid material from other workings. Salt-containing by-products from potash manufacture can be used. A heat exchanger within the chamber is used to deliver heat to an underground distribution point, whence the heat passes to surface consumers via pipes in the mine shafts. The filled chamber means that there is less danger of underground collapse from the disused workings. ADVANTAGE - High efficiency and low cost energy storage. .21

Molecular logic elements are a thousand times faster than corresp. silicon elements.
Patent DE-4243273-A1 (DE)
Inventor: ECKARDT THOMAS DIPL ING
IPC: B64G1/28
Filed: 1992-12-21
Abstract: The orientation of flying objects, in particular satellites, must be stabilised in space. For that purpose, gyroscope devices are used with swivellable gyroscopes in a cardan frame or with gyroscopes fixed in three different directions with adjustable speeds of rotation. These constructions are costly, heavy and prone to failure in certain circumstances. The disclosed device requires only two gyroscopes (1, 2) which may be suspended with a limited cardan mobility, whose axes of rotation coincide in the initial stage and which rotate in opposite directions. By tilting at least one gyroscope and modifying the speed of rotation, any desired resulting torque-vector (Hg) and any desired rotation of the satellite may be achieved.

Patent DE-4312334-A1 (DE)
Title: Device for signalling (reporting) theft
IPC: B60R25/10
Filed: 1993-04-15
Abstract: The signalling points are series-connected and the disturbance is reported to the central station as a current interruption.

Title: Pump protection slide
Inventor: RAMBOW GERD
IPC: F04D15/00
Filed: 1993-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a pump protection slide with a housing (1) which has an inlet opening (1A) on the feed-pump side, an outlet opening (1B) on the useful-flow side, and a bypass opening (1C) on the secondary-flow side. In this arrangement, a spindle (2) is mounted in an axially displaceable manner in the housing (1) in coaxial guides (3) through which flow can occur. A control body (2A) is fastened to the spindle (2) on the inflow side. The control body (2A) interacts with a seat (2B) of the housing (1) for closing and opening and at the same time actuates a device releasing and/or shutting off the secondary flow into the bypass opening (1C). The housing (1) is in the form of a one-piece block which can be pushed in between a flange (10A) arranged on the feed-pump side and a flange (10B) lying in parallel opposite the flange (10A) and arranged on the useful-flow side. At the same time, the plane side walls (11A, 11B, 11C) bordering the inlet, outlet and bypass openings (1A, 1B, 1C) serve as supporting surfaces for the corresponding flanges (10A, 10B, 10C), which can be secured in a sealing and releasable manner to these side walls (11A, 11B, 11C). <IMAGE>

When the ON pushbutton is operated the auxiliary contact on one side (12) is opened before the main relay operates. A similar action occurs when the OFF push button is operated, with the other auxiliary contact (13) opening first. USE/ADVANTAGE - For use in electrical braking circuit of electric drive. Auxiliary contacts prevent short circuit in load circuit during switching.

Title: Display and sales stands for cassettes or the like
Inventor: WAIBEL DIETER
IPC: A47F7/14
Filed: 1993-06-09
Abstract: A display and sales stand (1) for music cassettes, video cassettes or similar hard articles having a cover picture, has two stand regions (5 and 8) lying one above the other, the upper stand region (5) extending, from the bottom obliquely upwards and forwards and thus being suitable for an arrangement somewhat above the head region of the users and nevertheless allowing good removability and visibility of the cassettes. In contrast, the lower stand region (8) has stand compartments, each extending, from the bottom, obliquely upwards and overlapping in imbricated fashion, so that its width remains the same over virtually its entire height and at the same time can be of narrow and space-saving design, so that this region can be readily accessed by the users who are then able to remove the articles (2) comfortably both from the upper stand region (5) and the lower stand region (8). Particularly in the case of fabrication from transparent material or plastics, good visibility of the displayed articles (2) is also achieved. <IMAGE>
Patent DE-4320437-A1 (DE)
Title: Sewing machine with an over-feed device
Inventor: KUS PETER
IPC: D05B27/04
Filed: 1993-06-21
Abstract: The effect of the over-feed device on the sewing material in relation to that of the under-feed device depends on the geometry of the paths of movement of the two feeders. In the case of an elliptic path of movement of the under-feeder, the disadvantage of an elliptic path of movement of the over-feeder is that the relative vertical distance between the two feeders changes constantly in the feed phase and therefore different forces are transmitted to the sewing material. This results, in the case of awkward sewing material, in undesirable shifts of parts of the sewing material. For this reason, an over-feed device giving the over-feeder a path of movement equidistant relative to the movement of the under-feeder has been provided.
