Patent EP-0366346-A3 (EP)
Title: Optical connector
IPC: G02B6/38
Filed: 1989-10-18
Abstract: Disclosed is an optical fiber connector useful for high density arrays. A 
locking collar (28) is mounted near the rearward portion of a fiber ferrule (22). The 
collar includes tabs (35,36) which engage holes (19, 20) in the connector sleeve (10) 
when the ferrule is inserted therein. The fiber can be inserted and removed by a tool 
(41-49) which depresses the tabs. Space is conserved since the locking mechanism 
is located entirely within the sleeve.

Abstract: A multipath transmission system for an automobile 
according to the present invention comprises a 
plurality of multiplex transmission units (13 to 17) 
connected in parallel with each other to one common bus 
(18). Each transmission unit (13 to 17) is assigned to

Title: Method for fabricating hoses with a core of cross-linkable polyethylene
IPC: B29D23/00
Filed: 1990-03-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of hoses having a core of crosslinkable polyethylene, the hose being built up on a smooth metal mandrel, then bandaged with an outer winding and finally heat-treated in a vulcanisation vessel. In order to increase the temperature of use of the hoses, the hose built up on the mandrel is subjected to at least one additional heat treatment at about the vulcanisation temperature. The heat treatment advantageously takes place after the vulcanisation. The hose is cooled to ambient temperature between the heat treatments.
Patent EP-0432512-A3 (EP)
Title: Blade-holder on a carriage in a shearing machine for scrap-metal
IPC: B23D15/00
Filed: 1990-11-17
Abstract: In blade holding devices sleeves are arranged concentrically about the blade securing screws, in order to relieve the blade securing screws from lateral shearing force components and vertically acting stripping forces resulting, when the blade slide is moved upward, from the friction between the blade and the scrap metal in the feed channel. For the removal of the blade, lateral wearing plates in the feed channel have to be removed. In order to permit the removal of the blade from the holding device without dismantling the wearing plates of the feed channel and, at the same time, retaining the sleeves, a short sleeve is provided, that, in an operational position of said scrap cutter, ascertains form-locking between the blade and the blade slide or the blade support and rests against a long spacing sleeve that is concentrically arranged about a shaft of the blade securing screw and is held by the blade securing nut. The short sleeve is also concentrically arranged about the shaft of the blade securing screw. After removal of the blade securing screws, the short sleeve may be slid toward the backside of the blade, permitting the removal of the blade in a downward direction. A dismantling of the lateral wearing plates is unnecessary.

Moreover, a time control device is provided which checks the temporal sequence of the various signals and, if required, maintains the clearance of the corridor (1) or effects its closure. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0391553-A3 (EP)
IPC: C04B41/87
Filed: 1990-03-15
Abstract: Process of producing nickel suboxide insulation 
on a superconductor by reacting oxygen-free nickel powder 
with oxygen-free carbon monoxide generally at 50-75°C to 
produce a nickel carbonyl, separating the nickel carbonyl 
from reaction by-products and excess reagents by cooling 
the carbonyl and decanting the nickel carbonyl liquor, and 
contacting the carbonyl to a surface of a wire containing 
superconductor or superconductor precursors in an 
atmosphere containing a controlled amount of oxygen, with 
the wire at 50-800°C to produce nickel suboxide insulation 
on the wire. The purified nickel carbonyl and oxygen may 
be alternately (rather than simultaneously) introduced, to 
deposit a series of metallic nickel films on the wire, 
each of which metallic films are then oxidized to a nickel 
suboxide.

Patent EP-0471424-A3 (EP)
Title: Extended composite television system
Inventor: FUEHREN MARCEL
IPC: H04N7/00
Filed: 1990-03-26
Abstract: Cross-luminance and cross-color artifacts can be eliminated if in an extended encoder the chrominance information is made pairwise equal at two time instants and the luminance information (i.e. the high horizontal frequencies) is also made equal at these two time instants. In an extended decoder, the high-frequency luminance information can be separated again from the modulated chrominance information by, for example, (i) subtracting the information of the pairs at the above-mentioned time instants and by dividing them by 2 (this yields chrominance), and by (ii) averaging the information of the pairs at these time instants (this yields high-frequency luminance).

Title: Device for hindgas coverage in tube welding
IPC: B23K9/32
Filed: 1991-11-11
Abstract: The device according to the invention is intended for protective gas coverage on the root side in the area of tube welding. The peculiar feature of the invention is a plurality of discharge duct means (19,20) evenly distributed at a distance from the gas supply means (15,14). Thereby a more safe removal of atmospheric oxygen from the enclosure (17) created by the device is ensured, thus improving the quality of the welding and reducing protective gas consumption in the welding process. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0509252-A3 (EP)
Title: System for separation of bulk materials of differrent hardness values
IPC: B07B13/00
Filed: 1992-03-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a system for separating components of the bulk material of different hardness values, in particular refuse, and consists of a drum 2 which rotates about a horizontal axis 3 and of a charging plate 5 which is arranged above said drum 2 and from which the components of the bulk material pass, after impact, onto the upwardly moving side of the drum, soft parts being entrained from the drum away over the said side onto the downwardly moving side of the drum and hard parts dropping downwards onto the upwardly moving side. The innovation is that the charging plate 5 has a rough surface which ensures that parts which have stuck together or are connected in any other way are separated from one another on impact. Furthermore, a blocking plate 18 is provided above the rising side of the drum, which plate collects soft components of the bulk material which slide too far when rebounding from the charging plate and directs them onto the drum at a point from which the soft components continue to be entrained upwards.

Title: Fitting having an insulating intermediate piece.
Inventor: GARRIGUES JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: F16L59/16
Filed: 1993-05-11
Abstract: In the case of fittings which have been used up until now, insulation of the fitting has only been possible by complex manual work. Use of an intermediate piece which is seated on the flange of the neck of the fitting, consisting of a material of low thermal conductivity and of an apron enclosing the flange, provides the preconditions for uniform insulation connections. This intermediate piece delimits insulation air spaces and prevents moisture in the air from condensing on a cold fitting or loss of energy in a heating circuit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An operated quantity of a brake pedal (1) is detected
based on a signal from a stroke sensor (25) (S110 in FIG. 4).
A starting criterion to start brake assisting is determined
with respect to an operated speed of the brake pedal in
response to the operated quantity of the brake pedal (S120 in
FIG. 4). An operated-quantity change is calculated by
differentiating the operated quantity of the brake pedal (S130
in FIG. 4). It is determined whether the operated-quantity
change exceeds the starting criterion (S140 in FIG. 4). If the
operated-quantity change exceeds the starting criterion, brake
assisting is started by driving a pump (15) to increase wheel
cylinder pressure (S150 in FIG. 4).
