Abstract: Two bindings (2, 3) are mounted on the snowboard (1). The heel parts (4, 5) of the bindings are constructed as automatic step-in devices. The front part (6, 7) of the bindings (2, 3) comprises in each case a resiliently arranged holding bar (20). The bar (20) is longitudinally displaceable by means of plastic parts (30 and 31) and is arranged so as to be fixable in three positions. Due to a special design of a control surface, provided on the attachment elements (30 and 31), the bar (20) is held resiliently in a horizontal position. If the bar (20) is pressed downwards, it disengages from the arresting means and can be displaced into another position. By means of an actuating bar (10), which is arranged on the binding (3) and is pressed by the ski boot onto the sole plate, a bar (9), which is attached to a snowboard stopper (8), is actuated which, in turn, actuates a wing (11), arranged laterally on the snowboard (1), to brake the snowboard (1) if the ski boot is released from the binding (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method and circuit arrangement for adjusting the volume in a mobile telephone. The telephone comprises a transceiver unit and on the other hand a physically separate operating device. A dc voltage level (DC) corresponding to the desired volume is adjusted with a potentiometer (1) in the operating device and the level is converted with an A/D-converter (2) into a. corresponding digital control signal. The control signal is read with a microprocessor (3) in the transceiver unit, which further through the hold circuit (4) controls the gain of the audio amplifier (7). A multiplexer (5) may be provided for controlling and selecting a suitable feedback resistor (6) for the amplifier. The A/D-converter can be located in the operating device or in the transceiver unit. When it is located in the transceiver unit the dc voltage level (DC) is transmitted to the transceiver unit, preferably superimposed on the AC-signal received from the microphone, which then is filtered off before the A/D-converter. The connection between the operating device and the transceiver unit may be realized with a cable or a wireless infrared or radio connection.

Abstract: Touch sensing direct input data display apparatus wherein display screen (1) is directly and solely supported within a housing by stiff springs (5) having essentially uniaxial freedom of motion. Strain gauge sensors (13) are applied directly to the springs (5) and are connected in a full Wheatstone bridge sensing circuit. The outputs of the sensors (13) are fed to a calculating device for calculat­ing the X, Y and Z coordinate information relative to the point on the face of the display (1) which has been pushed or touched. The Z component is of total force and the X any Y components give the two dimensional location for the application of the force measured in the Z axis. The stiff springs (5) allow very little deflection to occur under normal touch imposed forces on the display screen (1). They permit essentially uniaxial motion only in the Z axis. The apparatus is mechanically robust and may be shipped and subjected to dropping or impact loads normally encountered in shipping without damage, has a relatively high natural frequency of vibration and produces high level, relatively continuous output signals for use.
