Abstract: A device for detection of when at test probe of conducting material contacts a liquid surface includes a test probe of conducting material. The test probe is electrically screened by an insulated screen, with a part of the test probe projecting in front of the screen. The test probe is connected to a first alternating voltage source via a first impedance and to one input of a differential amplifier, and the screen is connected to a second alternating voltage source via a second impedance and to another input of the differential amplifier. An output of the differential amplifier is connected to one input of a first multiplicator and to one input of a second multiplicator, and another input of the first multiplicator is connected to a third alternating voltage source, and another input of the second multiplicator is connected to a fourth alternating voltage source. An output voltage of the fourth voltage source is phase shifted relative to an output voltage of the third alternating voltage source and a signal processing unit is connected to the outputs of the first and second multiplicators and is capable of, based on the output signals of the multiplicators, deriving a first signal representing the resistvie load of the test probe and a second signal representing the capacitive load if the test probe, and, when the resistive load is low and the capacitive load is high, providing a signal as an indication that the test probe has contacted a liquid surface.

Abstract: Bekannt sind hydraulische Fahrzeugbremsanlagen, bei denen normaler Betriebsbremsbetrieb unter Verwendung von hydraulischer Fremdenergie durchführbar ist, wogegen bei Mangel an hydraulischer Fremdenergie Hilfsbremsbetrieb per Muskelkraft möglich ist mit einer hydraulischen Übertragung, die von einem mittels des Bremspedals betätigbaren Hauptbremszylinder ausgeht. Die hydraulische Fremdenergie ist beispielsweise in einem Druckspeicher mit Gaspolster gespeichert, was zu Gasgehalt im Druckmittel für den Betriebsbremsbetrieb führen kann. Gemäß der Erfindung wird ein zweikreisiger Hauptbremszylinder (9) solchen Radbremsen (5, 6) einer Fahrzeugachse zugeordnet, die den höheren Beitrag zur Fahrzeugverzögerung liefern, und dabei werden zwischen diese Radbremsen (5, 6) und deren zugeordnete Betriebsbremsventile (27, 28) Zylinder-Kolben-Anordnungen (52, 53) eingebaut zu dem Zweck, daß hydraulisches Druckmittel aus der Fremdenergiequelle nicht in diese Radbremsen (5, 6) gerät. Der Vorteil ist, daß weder Gas noch Luft in die Radbremsen (5, 6) verfrachtet wird, wo es anläßlich einer Druckabsenkung zu Blasenbildung führen könnte und für eine Hilfsbremsung per Hauptbremszylinder nachteilig wäre. Die Zylinder-Kolben-Anordnungen (52, 53) erhöhen die Betriebssicherheit der Fahrzeugbremsanlage bei Bremsen per Muskelkraft.

Abstract: Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, un système intermédiaire authentifie des systèmes d'extrémité en recourant à la cryptographie. Lorsqu'un système intermédiaire détecte une interruption quelconque de la connexion physique avec un port d'accès, il lance une routine d'authentification sur le port d'accès. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'utilisateur doit fournir un code confidentiel avant que les données n'aient l'autorisation d'être transmises. Les données réseau ne sont pas totalement transmises ou reçues sur un port d'accès quelconque n'ayant pas été authentifié. L'invention envoie une authentification utilisateur en direction de l'emplacement où un système d'extrémité s'est initialement connecté à un réseau, de manière à éviter la transmission ou la réception non autorisée de données réseau, ce qui n'est pas le cas avec les systèmes de demande de connexion réseau existants. L'invention peut être intégrée à un système intermédiaire, à un logiciel de système intermédiaire, ou à des circuits intégrés spécifiques d'applications conçus pour s'utiliser dans un système intermédiaire. L'invention peut comprendre des composants interagissant spécifiquement avec des composants installés dans un système d'extrémité ou ailleurs dans un réseau.

Abstract: A separation optics structure comprising a transparent unitary body portion extending between a first wide end and a second distal end defines a wedge-shaped structure. The body portion includes a front portion defining a generally planar front illumination surface, a back portion having a plurality of beveled redirecting facets spaced apart by intermediate areas, and a plurality of optics elements disposed within the intermediate areas. A first light source is coupled at the wide end to transmitted light longitudinally through the body portion toward the redirecting facets. The redirecting facets having reflective surfaces transverse to the planar front illumination surface to reflect and scatter the light toward the front surface in a relatively low intensity light distribution. A second light source is coupled adjacent the back portion behind the intermediate areas. The optics elements transmit the light directly through the intermediate areas toward the front surface in a relative high intensity light distribution. The optics elements may also include concave, convex and/or facet for shaping the direct light toward the front illumination surface.
