Title: Steering control stick with a finger-actuable accelerator
Inventor: ECKSTEIN LUTZ
IPC: F02D11/02
Filed: 1997-06-25
Abstract: An operating element arrangement, suitable for controlling the longitudinal and transverse movement of a motor vehicle, comprises a steering control stick 1 in which a finger-actuable regulating part 4, for controlling the vehicle acceleration, is integrated. A lateral deflection or force which is exerted on the control stick 1 is detected by a sensor in order to control the steering angle of the vehicle. An actuator may be used to exert a reaction force or deflection on the control stick 1, as feedback for the driver. The finger-actuable regulating part 4 may be in the form of a pivotable finger, a regulating wheel, a sliding element or a pressure sensor. Buttons 2,3a,3b,6 on the control stick 1 activate a horn, direction indicators and a speed-regulating device respectively. Braking operations are controlled by a foot-actuable force sensor (7, Fig 3).

Title: Device for protecting a flexible elongate supply line
Inventor: JAMES STEPHEN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01B7/24
Filed: 1997-08-28
Abstract: The device is designed for protection of an elongate supply line, e.g. a flexible electrical power cable, from damage when an appliance inadvertently passes over the cable as it sweeps across the ground or floor. The device includes a buffer member in the form of a two-part sphere 1, 2 to be fitted to the cable and be rotatable about the cable. Preferably, the device includes an internal cylindrical clamping/axle member 6, 7 which is clamped onto the cable, and the buffer parts are then fitted onto the clamping member. Instead of passing over and damaging the cable, the appliance strikes the side of the buffer member which rolls away and carries the cable safely away from the appliance. A cable protection system includes a set of these devices fitted onto the cable at spaced intervals so that the appliance cannot pass between two adjacent devices.

Title: Creating and reproducing data-containing musical composition information
Inventor: TERADA KOSEI
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 1999-07-21
Abstract: To musical composition information such as a standard MIDI file, there are added accessory data, such as message or text data, and setting information for the accessory information which are both unrelated to the musical composition information. These accessory data and setting information are inserted, as meta events, in the standard MIDI file. In this way, a musical composition information file can be created which is an integral combination of the musical composition information and the accessory data containing the setting information. The musical composition information file with the accessory data can be transmitted or received via a communication network, or stored in a recording medium for portability. The musical composition information file can be reproduced to permit simultaneous execution of performance reproduction processing and image reproduction processing such as for display of a message.

Title: An amino acid based fodder additive originated from fermentation fluid as well as methods for producing and utilizing it
Inventor: BINDER WOLFRAM
IPC: A23K1/16
Filed: 1992-09-16
Abstract: 2.1. Fermentative preparation of amino acids for animal feed supplement purposes is a complex process, since the amino acid is present in the fermentation broth at only a few percent. Drying the crude fermentation broth and using it as such generally led to aggregating sticky products or to products having too low a supplementary amino acid content. Using the new animal feed supplement and preparation process, a supplementary amino acid is intended to be made available which is not too expensive, not excessively hygroscopic or sticky, and whose contents can be standardised. 2.2. The animal feed supplement is based on a fermentation broth and contains the majority of its components, if required, with the exception of part of the biomass. Preferably, the biomass is present at no more than 10 % by weight of the dry matter. Proteins are preferably present at up to a maximum of 10 % by weight. For the production, during fermentation, at least towards the end, the sugar content is adjusted to a value of at most 4 g/l and during further processing, if required, at least a part of the biomass is separated off. 2.3. Supplementation or preparation of animal feed agents or premixes, in particular containing lysine.
