Abstract: The method involves circulating a control message containing at least one command (DK8,DK9) which acts upon an output relay of a control receiver, which in turn acts upon an associated group of the electrical loads to be controlled in order to perform a certain function. The message contains an additional command (DK10) which causes an operation time to be stored which is a function of the current time of day. When the stored time is reached the function associated with the second command is performed providing the command time has not been changed to a later time in the meantime.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing undesired material from the surface of a substrate provides a flow of inert gas over the undesired material substrate surface while irradiating the undesired material with energetic photons directed at an angle that is oblique to the substrate. The invention enables removal of undesired material without altering the physical properties of the material underlying or adjacent the removed, undesired material. In certain circumstances, the non-perpendicular incidence permits effective removal where normal incidence caused damage to the substrate or poor removal or both.

Abstract: The method of gas shielded arc welding steel railroad rails involves the steps of filling the base gap, the web gap and the head gap with a molten steel from a filler metal electrode by a gas shielded electric arc process. The filling of the head gap involves continuously sequentially moving the electrode in laterally opposite directions in the head gap along paths having starting and ending ends in the corresponding one of the opposite directions for laying beads of filler metal along the paths. Another step is delaying movement of the electrode from the starting end of each the path for a preselected period of time.

Abstract: A process for the production of primary and/or secondary amines from imines or nitriles, comprising an aminating hydrogenation of imine or of nitrile with hydrogen in the presence of ammonia, of a hydrogenation catalyst based on cobalt, nickel, ruthenium or mixtures of these metals and of a base, at a temperature within the range of 50 DEG  C. to 200 DEG  C. and at a pressure within the range of 0.3 to 30 MPa. The yield of amine is increased by the use of a quaternary ammonium hydroxide as base. Preferably a tetraalkylammonium hydroxide is used in a quantity of from 0.01 to 100 mMol per mol of amine or of nitrile. The process is suitable in particular for the production of isophoronediamine from isophorone nitrile imine.

Abstract: A metered dose inhaler (10) for use with a pressurized aerosol canister (18) includes a housing (12) defining a conduit (16) with a mouthpiece (56), and an actuator (26) with a nozzle discharge orifice (30) arranged to discharge aerosol into the conduit. An air tube (34) is arranged within the conduit with an inlet (38) of the air tube formed in the conduit wall (74) and an outlet (36) of the air tube in opposing relationship with the nozzle orifice. Inhalation through the mouthpiece causes air to be drawn into the inlet and flow out of the outlet of the air tube to form an air jet which impinges on an oppositely moving aerosol plume from the orifice. Auxiliary air inlets (46) in the closed end (24) of the conduit provide a boundary layer flow along the inner wall (44) of the conduit. Vortex generators (54) on the inner wall of the conduit add vorticity and turbulence to the boundary layer flow. Automatic actuation of the canister responsive to the patient's inhalation is achieved by a canister trigger (154) connected to a movable piston assembly (132) forming a wall of a variable-volume chamber (162) in fluid communication with a venturi (184) in the air tube. Air drawn through the venturi by the user's breath causes evacuation of air from the chamber, thereby moving the piston assembly and trigger to cause actuation of the canister.

Abstract: According to the method for controlling an automatic cleaning device while a window surface is being cleaned, the cleaning head is first advanced in force-controlled manner approximately centrally or near the edge towards the window surface. This initial position follows from the basic data of the associated building on the basis of the constructional drawing. The cleaning head is then moved in the X- or Z-direction over the window surface up to the window frame in a first edge-search mode and then along the window frame into the associated window corner in which the cleaning process proper starts. The frame of the cleaning head is elastically displaceable relative to the rigid structure so that the control means can sense whether the cleaning head is in contact with a window edge. Alternatively, in the case of frameless windows, there may be provided a sensor whose signal is received by the control means.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods of abrupt scene change detection and fade detection for indexing of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 compressed video sequences. Abrupt scene change and fade-detection techniques applied to signals in compressed form have reasonable accuracy and the advantage of high simplicity since they are based on entropy decoding and do not require computationally expensive inverse Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT). Scene changes are detected by steps of determining bit allocation differences across retrieved P-frames and/or by determining numbers of positive and negative DC residual coefficients. <IMAGE>
