IPC: H05B3/20
Filed: 1985-09-12
Abstract: In an electrical device comprising first and second members having different resistivities, a thin contact layer of intermediate resistivity is provided between the first and second members. The contact layer, (which may comprise a conductive polymer) is intimately bonded to the member of highest resistivity (which may comprise a second conductive polymer) e.g., by a printing process. The member of lowest resistivity may comprise a third conductive polymer, in which case it may be intimately bonded to the intermediate contact layer, e.g., by a printing process, or it may comprise a metallic member, in which case good electrical contact may be made merely by pressing the metallic member against the contact layer even when the contact area is large and/or long, and even when the pressure is sufficiently low to permit, if necessary, relative movement of the metallic member and the contact layer without disrupting the bond between the contact layer and the resistive element. A preferred device comprises four or more members of different resistivities. The members are arranged adjacent each other in order of decreasing resistivity. The least resistive member preferably comprises a metal and the other members conductive polymer materials.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly comprises a handle (1) pivotally connected to a base plate(2). The handle assembly is connected to a door sub-assembly by screws (12A and 12B). The handle comprises a button (5) which when depressed enables a restraint (17) to be drawn into an operative position by a screw (12C) extending through the shut face of the door. When released, the button (5) is locked in position by the restraint (17) and prevents access to the screw (12B). This screw (12B), when removed permits the handle (1) and plate (2) to be pivoted away from one another to reveal another screw (12A) which may then be removed to remove the handle assembly from the door. The handle assembly can therefore be removed from the door from externally of the door but only when the door is open thus facilitating painting and maintenance.

Abstract: An infra-red imaging system is operable selectively in wide and narrow field of view modes. Radiation from the object is imaged (8,9) onto an infra-red CCD staring focal plane array (SFPA) (2) which provides an output representing the image. In the narrow field of view mode, operative on detection of a particular target by target detection electronics (4), the image is not scanned but is made to follow any movement of the target, and the SFPA (2) stares at the target to build up an image. In the wide field of view mode, the same SFPA (2) is used to provide the image, but the image is scanned (6, 8) along a swath. Smearing of the image is minimised by driving the IRCCD array (2) such that the image-bearing charge is passed down the array from element to element at a speed equal to the scanning speed, so that the output signal from the end element represents the intensity of radiation from a given portion of the object time-­integrated by all the elements of the array in succession.

Abstract: The low-voltage light fixture is equipped, as usual, with a transformer housing for accommodating a transformer and with a holder carrying the low-voltage lamp. It is frequently desirable to arrange a plurality of low-voltage lamps for objects which are correspondingly larger or located opposite one another. In order for this to be able to take place with a simultaneous possibility of adjustment, the transformer housing 1 has a circularly curved conductor rail 4 for connection to the secondary side of the transformer 3, the conductor rail serving to accommodate a plurality of holders 9 or 10. Owing to the fact that the housing is the circularly curved conductor rail, each holder can be attached to the conductor rail at any point desired, depending on the direction in which, and the object towards which the low-voltage lamp, which is normally constructed as a radiator with reflector is to radiate. Two low-voltage lamps can easily be adjusted in order to illuminate different objects optimally. The conductor rail can extend virtually over the entire possible range of 360 DEG . <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital television processing section capable of picture enhancement, progressive scanning, and multiple picture-in-picture processing is provided. The preferred digital television processing section preferably comprises a picture enhancement processor (PEP), a progressive scan processor, a picture in picture processor, at least one multiplexing means, and a common memory means. The PEP broadly comprises a parameter control means, a memory input select means, and mixer for obtaining current video data, delayed video data from the common memory, and control information from the control means, and for processing the obtained data and information to provide a signal to the progressive scan processor. In various modes of operation, the mixer also provides the signal to the memory input select means which forwards the information to the common memory. The common memory is used as a field delay device and feeds a delayed signal forward to the progressive scan processor. The progressive scan processor then utilizes the current signal and the delayed signal to provide a non-­interlaced display. The delayed signal from the common memory may also be fed back to the mixer of the PEP so that noise reduction and/or cross-color effect reduction may be accomplished or so that stored pictures may be displayed. The picture-in-picture (PIP) processor together with a first multiplexer permits main and secondary (PIP) video data to be supplied as current video data to the PEP. Or if desired, up to nine PIPs may constitute the video field.
