Abstract: Direct-sowing method for introducing seed into the soil. The seed is deposited in the soil (10) in sowing furrows made by seed coulters (7). After the seed has been deposited in the soil (10), the plants and plant residues, located on the soil surface and partially arranged in heaps and/or small heaps and partially intermingled with soil parts, are picked up by a driven reworking rotor (13) located above the soil surface and having tine-like elements (18) motively moved essentially above the soil (10) and are subsequently deposited again in an equalised manner above the soil (10) and above the deposited seed. Because these small heaps are picked up, an at least partial separating of the plant parts from the soil parts takes place. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An antenna system is made up by a main antenna (1) and a sub antenna (2) which is adjacent the main antenna (1) in a direction not perpendicular to the direction of beam scan of the main antenna and which has a beam axis coincident with the beam axis of the main antenna (1). Antenna beams of the antenna system are scanned by a scan device (3). Received signals of both the antennas are subjected to a multiplication process under a phase coherent condition in a phase-coherent multiplying device (4). A signal corresponding to a maximum frequency component in the output signal of the phase-coherent multiplying device is output by a frequency discriminating device (5) and then subjected to a signal conversion process in a signal converting device (6). Information about a radio wave source only in the direction of the antenna beams is thus obtained.

Abstract: The invention is for use with a visible medium (73, 373) capable of light reflection etc., and for use with a colour-image source (42, 342) that defines a desired colour. Here a device (72, 372, 85-96) for causing the medium to appear coloured includes a gray-scale subsystem (K ;26,96K) to achromatically suppress a stated fraction of the reflection ; and at least two device-primary subsystems (C, M and Y [and X] ; 27-29, 96C-96Y) to cause selective reflection of light of two associated device-primary colours. Even if the device, as originally made, in effect uses the gray-scale subsystem to help construct colours, or the device-primary subsystems to help form gray-scale "values", such cross-dependency is essentially removed. A programmed processor (43-56, 343-356, 357) resolves the desired-rendition information into Fraction-Black (K), Fraction-Colourant (N, N 1 ,N 2 ) and hue (H). 
     Fraction-Black (K) information is applied exclusively to control only the gray-scale subsystem (K); Fraction-Colourant (N) to control only the device-primary subsystem (CMY[X]), and hue (H) to select a dominant and a subordinate primary subsystem (C and/or M and/or Y [and/or X] and as between them apportion (N 1 , N 2 ) the Fraction-Colourant (N).

Abstract: A magneto-inductive flowmeter has a measuring tube (1) made of a metallic material, which is penetrated by a magnetic field directed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tube (1). The measuring voltage is picked off on two electrodes (5, 5'), which are arranged on opposite sides of the tube inner wall. To avoid shunts, the inner wall of the measuring tube (1) is lined with an electrically insulating duplex layer (7). The duplex layer (7) consists of a carrier layer (8) based on phenolic resin and a covering layer (9) which can be based on phenolic resin or epoxy resin. The cured duplex layer (7) has a good chemical stability, high abrasion strength, a high breakdown resistance, very good pressure stability and a high temperature strength. The electrodes (5, 5') can be electrically insulated with respect to the tube wall (1), sealed and fixed by means of the applied covering layer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A photocoupler apparatus includes a light emitting diode, a first photodiode array which generates a first electromotive force by being activated with a light signal from the light emitting element, and an output MOSFET which is driven by the first electromotive force. This apparatus further includes a current limiting circuit and a second photodiode array which generates a second electromotive force by being activated with the light signal from the light emitting diode. The current limiting circuit controls the behavior of the MOSFET so as to limit an output current below a predetermined value. In addition, this circuit is driven by the second electromotive force generated by the second photodiode array. So, the whole resistance of this apparatus as a product can be greatly reduced and a photocoupler apparatus having a high current capacity can easily be obtained in this invention.

Abstract: A grain sorting apparatus comprises a conveyor belt mechanism for conveying grains, fed by a feed mechanism onto a conveying surface separately from each other at an upstream region with respect to a conveying direction, to a downstream end so that the grains are discriminated and sorted by a discriminating mechanism and a sorting mechanism when dropping from the downstream end along a predetermined path, the belt mechanism being disposed so that the conveying surface thereof declines as going downstream with respect to the conveying direction to prevent the grains being carried by the belt mechanism from rolling toward the upstream direction on the conveying surface of the belt mechanism. It is therefore possible to prevent the grains from rolling on the conveying surface of the conveyor belt mechanism toward the upstream direction relative to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt even when a conveying velocity of the conveyor belt mechanism is high.
