Abstract: Circuit for flame detection for a transistor coil ignition of a burner. The transistor coil ignition has a driving stage which drives a power transistor (Tr2) located in the circuit of the primary winding of an ignition coil (ZS) in order to charge the primary winding of the ignition coil (ZS) with a charge current from a power supply. A switching device (ZG1, S1) is provided with an ignition and flame detection device which in the flame detection position limits the charge current flowing across the primary winding of the ignition coil (ZS) to a level which lies below that which is necessary to produce an ignition spark in the ignition position so that without a flame an ignition flashover cannot take place. An evaluation circuit (Glr1, R3, C2, K2) evaluates the signal, occurring after the disconnection of the charge current flowing across the primary winding of the ignition coil (ZS), from the primary winding of the ignition coil (ZS), this signal having pulse peaks when the flame is absent and no such pulse peaks when the flame is present. The evaluation takes place preferably at a display signal which is present at a display device (A1) in order to display the presence and absence of a flame in the burner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Tapered optical waveguides (33') can be easily made by using photolithographic masking and etching to define on a substrate (21) a first polymer structure (22) having a substantially uniform thickness and a tapered width. The first polymer structure is heated sufficiently to form a meniscus along its entire length. The fluidity causes the material to redistribute itself such that, rather than being of uniform thickness, it has a thickness that varies with its width ; consequently, the thickness as well as the width of the first polymer structure becomes tapered. The first polymer is cooled and hardened to form a second polymer structure (22') that has a tapered width and a tapered thickness as is desirable for a tapered optical waveguide. The second polymer structure itself can be used as a tapered optical waveguide, or it can be used to control the reactive ion etching of the underlying substrate. In the latter case, the configuration of the tapered second polymer structure is replicated in a glass substrate, for example, which then may be used as a glass tapered optical waveguide (33').

Abstract: In this overspeed governor, an overspeed condition causes, by means of coupling elements (15,15'), a brake (5) comprised in the overspeed governor to engage a rope pulley (3) which, due to friction, brakes the rope driving the rope pulley itself and thus triggers the safety gear of the elevator. In the invention, the rotation of at least one coupling element (15,15') provided in the overspeed governor and rotating with it is braked by a frictional force which is applied to a braking point (31,32) on the coupling element (15,15'). The combined effect of the braking action and the rotation of the overspeed governor turns the coupling element (15,15') into a position in which the brake (5) is activated so as to engage the rope pulley (3).

Abstract: The run-flat tire of this invention includes thickened sidewall portions, a belt package with a cap ply, lower sidewall rubber support portions, a specially designed bead seat area with a rim seat ply and three carcass layers. The classical problems of inflated vs. deflated performance tradeoffs in ride comfort, handling, radial stiffness and endurance of the tire are substantially improved. This is accomplished with a run-flat tire having relatively small weight increases over a standard tire and a rim that can be used interchangeably with the standard tire. 
     The run-flat tire system of this invention is capable of maximum lateral accelerations under nominal operations of approximately 0.90g s  and extended operating efficiency (i.e., handling and durability) at higher speeds for longer distances.

Abstract: A method of remotely executing a computer process between a parent computer initiating the process and a child computer executing the process. In one embodiment the process includes a step of associating objects with representations having specific object bindings dependent on the site of process of execution. The same representation has a first object binding if the process is executed on the parent computer, and a second object binding if the process is executed on the child computer. The set of objects associated with these location dependent representations may include objects resident at both the parent and child computers. Additional objects may be associated with a second set of representations having object bindings dependent upon the network site of process execution to accommodate remote process executions across two or more computer networks. In an alternative embodiment, objects are associated with multiple representations in an ordered merge directory. Some of the representations within said multiple representations are also dependent on the site of remote process execution. Processes may then access objects resident at a site of process execution, or access objects resident at sites proximate the site of remote process execution.

Abstract: A scanner determines whether a target is a bar code symbol and, if so, whether that symbol is one-dimensional or two-dimensional. For two-dimensional symbols, the scanner aligns a scanning pattern with the symbol and expands the scanning pattern to reach only to the top and bottom edges of the symbol, not beyond. The scanner also has a microprocessor-control scanning engine that uses a coil to drive a scanning element and pick up feed back signals from the scanning element. A pulse-width-modulated regulator also provides fast and efficient operation for driving the coil. The scanning engine can also be designed to generate a pattern that precesses across the target, and a powerful interface to the scanning engine allows decoding and control logic to work efficiently with and independently of the scan engine.
