Abstract: A stroboscopic display device has at least one carrier, associated with a rotary drive shaft, to carry a plurality of point light sources arranged externally on said carrier, and a control unit to cut in and out said light sources. To display advertising messages with the effect of free hovering in the air, the carrier is formed as a rod shaped correspondingly to an appropriate revolution body generatrix and cantilevered onto the drive shaft; the rod thickness commensurable with the cross-section of a point light source, and the rod width sufficient to illusorily disappear from the spectator vision field during gyration. The optical axis of each light source is perpendicular to the revolution body generatrix defined by the carrier shape.

Abstract: A plasma arc torch has a cathode and electrode having connecting ends configured for a coaxial telescoping connection with one another on a central longitudinal axis of the torch. The connecting ends have interengageable detents thereon, with at least one of the detents being movable in a generally radial direction relative to the central longitudinal axis of the torch between an undeflected state and a deflected state. The at least one detent is movable from the undeflected state to the deflected state when the cathode and electrode are telescoped one into the other, and is movable from the deflected state back toward the undeflected state when the cathode and electrode are further telescoped tc, a point where the detents on the cathode and electrode are generally axially aligned. In this position, the at least one detent is engageable with the other detent to interconnect the cathode and electrode and inhibit axial movement of the electrode away from the cathode.

Abstract: A plurality of heat transfer tubes (1) are disposed at
certain intervals, in-tube operating.fluid (such as
coolant) passes therethrough, and a plurality of small-gage
wires are used as a heating fin (2). One small-gage
wire (2a) is wound at a pair of heat transfer tubes (1a and 1c)
in a spiral manner, and another small-gage wire (2b) is wound
at a pair of heat transfer tubes (1b and 1c) in the spiral
manner, and still another small-gage wire (2c) is wound at a
pair of heat transfer tubes (1b and 1d) in the spiral
manner. Thereby, while higher heat transfer coefficient
can be achieved, and a heating surface area is ensured,
clogging can be avoided even when moisture in air
condenses on a surface of a heat exchanger. As a result,
it is possible to realize a high-performance and compact
heat exchanger used for air conditioning.

Abstract: When any application can be operated, a control section
first indexes a table for defining validness or invalidness
of an operating key corresponding to an application in a memory.
Then, if the control section detects that any key is operated,
the control section starts to turn ON a back light. Thereafter,
the control section detects that any key is manipulated again
before a lighting time set by a timer elapses, and it is decided
whether the operation section is a valid key. If the valid
key is operated, a first back light for illuminating the most
neighboring part of the valid key and a second back light for
illuminating a display section are continuously turned ON until
the lighting time set by the timer of the control section elapses.
However, if the lighting time set by the timer of the control
section elapses, the back light is turned OFF.

Abstract: A method for the scheduled execution of program steps (target function) by
the processor of a computer at predetermined times, in which a register of the
computer is read repeatedly and this value is compared with a reference value
representing the predetermined time, wherein when the read value corresponds to
the reference value, the target function is executed in the processor. In the
described method, a technique is used that is known by the English term "polling."
The disadvantage of the polling method is that it is not suitable for multitasking.
This disadvantage is overcome by the present invention. This task is solved such
that the reading of the register is performed within a start function that is executed
by the processor as an interrupt service routine.

Abstract: A laser source emits a laser beam having a peak wavelength within the range
from 800nm to 820nm. The laser beam emitted from the source (2) passes through an
illumination lens (3), and then impinges on a Grating Light Valve™ (25). The light valve splits
the laser beam into a multiplicity of light beams, modulates the multiplicity of light beams
in response to image signals, and produces zero-order diffracted signal beams. The
zero-order diffracted beams pass through an imaging lens (7), and are imaged on a recording
medium (1) wrapped on the surface of a drum.
