IPC: E05B15/04
Filed: 1990-02-19
Abstract: The invention relates to an espagnolette lock with espagnolettes which are displaceable as a result of the rotation of the latch or the like, and with a follower which is assigned to the latch and which, held in its basic middle position, is pivotable out of this in the opposite direction counter to a spring load, the lock case carrying a face plate continuing, on the far side of the lock case, in the form of freely projecting face-plate portions, behind which are guided the espagnolettes which control additional closing members, for example pivoting bolts, arranged in the region of the face-plate portions, in such a way that these closing members are actuated both as a result of the rotation of the latch and as a result of the freeing of at least one force accumulator, loading the espagnolettes, by means of a release actuated by the frame or the like during the closing of the door, and proposes, for the convenient positionability of the release even when the espagnolette lock is of only small depth, that the release (62) and/or the force accumulator (55) be arranged on the rear side of the free projecting face-plate portions (1'). <IMAGE>

the ribbon radially overlying the former.  
     The process for making this ribbon optical fibre cable provides for 
the ribbons (1) being laid into the grooves by applying to each ribbon 
(1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e) a longitudinal tension greater than the 
longitudinal tension applied to the ribbon radially superposed 
thereto.

Title: Process for the production of methyle or ethyle esters from fatty acids and glycerine by transesterification of oils or greases
IPC: C07C67/03
Filed: 1992-06-19
Abstract: Oils or fats, in particular of vegetable, but also of animal origin, are reacted with methanol or ethanol and an alkaline catalyst in the liquid phase. Glycerine and methyl esters of fatty acids or ethyl esters of fatty acids are formed. The reaction is carried out using at least two reaction steps, each reaction step having a mixing reactor and a separator for the separation of a light, ester-rich phase and a heavy, glycerine-rich phase. The oil or the fat, the alcohol and the catalyst are added to the mixing reactor in the first reaction step and these substances are intensively mixed. The alcohol and the catalyst as well as the light, ester-rich phase obtained in the preceding reaction step are added for intensive mixing to the mixing reactor in the second and each further reaction step. A heavy phase is separated in the separator in the second to last reaction step and at least partly fed back to the mixing reactor in the first reaction step. Methyl esters of fatty acids or ethyl esters of fatty acids are obtained from the light, ester-rich phase separated in the last reaction step by at least one further separation treatment. The process is preferably carried out using two reaction steps. <IMAGE>

Title: Ridge ventilating system for saddle roofs
IPC: E04D1/30
Filed: 1993-02-15
Abstract: In the case of saddle roofs, the roof covering of which is underpinned by an insulation, venting and ventilation of the interspace between roofing tiles and insulation is required. If profiled roofing tiles are used, there are problems in conjunction with the ridge ventilation elements which engage over the ridge and are seated, by means of their edge parts, on the roofing tiles adjoining the ridge. The invention proposes the use of special tiles, provided with a web at the front, as ridge-adjoining roofing tiles, which, in the laid state, form a bearing layer, which extends over the length of the ridge and is intended for the edge regions of a sealing strip which engages over the ridge and is, on the one hand, permeable to air and, on the other hand, water-repellent, over which ridge tiles engage and which are seated, by means of their longitudinal edges, on the ridge-adjoining roofing tiles such that they jut out beyond the sealing strip. As a result, a ventilation system is proposed which is easy to install and has improved venting and thus ventilation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing semiconductor chips for
display, a semiconductor thin film is first formed on an
insulating substrate, and then a series of processes containing
a heat-treatment process for the semiconductor thin film are
carried out to form integrated thin film transistors on a
sectioned area for one chip. Thereafter, pixel electrodes for one
picture (frame) are formed within the sectioned area. During the
series of processes, a laser pulse is irradiated onto the
sectioned area by one shot to perform a heat treatment on the
semiconductor thin film for one chip collectively and
simultaneously (i.e., perform a batch heat treatment on the
semiconductor thin film). Through the batch heat treatment, the
crystallization of the semiconductor thin film is promoted. In
addition, after the semiconductor thin film is doped with
impurities, the activation of impurities doped in the
semiconductor thin film can be performed by the batch heat
treatment.

Abstract: SMPS are well known. It is also known to have protection circuits, which switch
the SMPS in a given mode when an overload occurs. 
     It is the object of this invention to present a protection circuit, which is easy to

     According to this invention, a controller, which is normally used for controlling
different modes in dependence on the order of a user, is used for the protection.
Therefore the supply voltage and according control signals from the SMPS to said
controller are modified when a short occurs. The controller switches off an
according mode-control signal and the SMPS works in standby mode.

Abstract: An actuator position sensor employs a photo
interrupter with an optical density gradient segment
that has additional maximum and minimum density
segments preceding the gradient segment. These
preceding segments are sensed and sampled by a
calibration circuit, preferably prior to each operation
of the actuator, to generate high and low reference
calibration values which are applied to a signal
scaling circuit along with the gradient output signal.
The scaling circuit is then able to generate a position
output signal scaled between these reference values
that is linearly proportional to the actuator position.

Abstract: Pattern data is generated in accordance with
horizontal and vertical synchronizing components of a
video signal. The pattern data and the video signal
are stored in a memory (37). The video signal is
written in an effective image period, while pattern
data is written in other periods. Write and read
addresses for the memory are generated in accordance
with the horizontal and vertical synchronizing
components of the video signal. Thus, pattern data is
written over the video signal corresponding to the
position at which display is required. Whether the
output read from the memory is a video signal or
pattern data is discriminated by a signal discrimination
circuit (33) in accordance with the read address.
Pattern data and the video signal are individually
signal-processed. In accordance with a result of the
discrimination performed by the signal discrimination
circuit, the output from a pattern data processor and
the output from a video signal processor are switched
and displayed by a monitor.
