Title: Inductive proximity switch
IPC: H03K17/95
Filed: 1991-09-21
Abstract: An inductive proximity switch contains an oscillator that generates an alternating magnetic field and which, when a trigger penetrates the alternating field, changes its oscillating state. An evaluation circuit uses the change in state to generate a switching signal to control a load switch. To achieve a proximity switch response distance that is as large as possible regardless of the trigger material and the ambient temperature, two sensing coils are located in the alternating field to detect the difference between voltages induced in them. The sensing coils are designed so that the alternating voltage differential becomes zero at a desired response distance. When the alternating voltage differential is zero at an input of oscillator amplifier, the oscillator abruptly changes its oscillating state. The change in oscillation state is detected by the evaluation circuit and converted into a binary switching signal for the load switch.

Title: Folding carton showing a front and rear side
IPC: B65D5/42
Filed: 1992-02-26
Abstract: Folding cartons are known which are preferably used as packaging containers for bars of chocolate and can be bent for better removal of the bars of chocolate in such a way that a roof-shaped stand is produced. In order to maintain this assumed shape during use of the folding carton, that is to say to guarantee retention of the two halves of the folding carton standing at an acute angle relative to each other, a metal foil is provided which is bonded to the two halves of the folding carton, partially covering the latter in the region of the crease. The application of this metal foil is relatively awkward and expensive. However, disposal of the folding carton is also problematic since said carton, otherwise consisting of cardboard, cannot be recycled. In contrast, the novel folding carton is intended to be able to be produced more economically and further processed without problems. 
<??>For this purpose, a tab (4) is provided which can be bent in parallel to the crease (9) and connected to the back (2). On at least one side running transversely to the crease (9), the tab (4) has a catch device (7) corresponding to the back (2). 
<??>The retaining part is now a constituent of the folding carton and can be incorporated simultaneously when the folding carton blank is punched out.

Patent EP-0578110-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04N1/405
Filed: 1993-06-29
Abstract: Apparatus and a method for generating a 
multi-level halftone image (104) from a digitally sampled 
continuous tone image (101). The apparatus includes a 
control circuit (140), a preference matrix (150) having 
as its matrix elements addresses of a plurality of look-up 
tables (160) and a plurality of look-up tables (160) 
in the form of a look-up table stack (155). Generally, 
the control circuit (140) instructs the preference matrix 
(150) to select a look-up table (160) from the look-up 
table stack (155) in a pre-defined manner. The selected 
table (160) is used to convert an intensity value (102) 
into a multi-level pixel value (106) in the halftone 
image (104). To accomplish the conversion, each look-up 
table (160) contains a quantized one-dimensional transfer 
function (165') having as an input the magnitude of the 
intensity value (102). The magnitude is mapped into an 
output level by the transfer function as one of a 
plurality of available levels. The output level is 
assigned a pixel location in a halftone cell (103). The 
look-up table selection is repeated for each element of 
the preference matrix (150) and the magnitude of each 
intensity value (102) is mapped into the halftone cell 
(103) to generate a multi-level halftone image (104).

Patent EP-0662418-A3 (EP)
IPC: B60G11/27
Filed: 1994-08-05
Abstract: The system includes a bi-directional airlift spring having opposite end plates at either end located between two parallel control arms where expansion of the air spring pivots the upper and lower control arms w.r.t. a frame bracket thereby lifting an axle and wheels attached to it from engagement with the road surface. The end plates of the bi-directional air spring move about equally in opposite directions and remain parallel to one another throughout expansion and contraction of the air spring so as to about equally distribute forces of expansion of the air spring between the upper and lower control arms. The system also includes a shock absorber having one end attached to the upper control arm and another end attached to the lower control arm so as to locate the shock absorber forward of the axle thereby minimising shock travel and maximising shock life. The upper control arm is pivotally connected to an axle seat by a bolt including an eccentric cam mechanism which allows one to adjust the caster angle of the axle when the need arises.

Abstract: With only an understanding of the functionality to be provided by a service,
one can quickly and easily develop or create such a service by, in accordance with
the principles of the invention, selecting and arranging instantiations of
predetermined "pictures", e.g., icons, into a multilevel outline which generally
specifies the service logic of the desired service. Each picture represents a "service
building block", e.g., a high level process part and its customizable attributes, and for
each instantiation of a picture in the multilevel outline there exists a corresponding
instantiation of a service building block. The operation of the instantiations of the
service building blocks are customizable in response to attributes supplied by the
service creator. A service development system arranges instantiations of the service
building blocks, in response to the operations on the pictures, to develop a program
that implements the service logic as specified by the multilevel outline. The display
of the graphical multilevel outline may be expanded or collapsed by the service
creator for viewing convenience without affecting the service logic or attributes of
the corresponding service.

Abstract: A communication subsystem for a digital computer system, which processes application
programs under a base operating system (such as the MS-DOS operating system) in a first processor
operational mode (such as the V86 mode), and also under an enhanced operating system (such as
Microsoft Windows) during a session under a second processor operational mode (such as a
privileged or user mode). During an enhanced operating system session, the enhanced operating
system makes use of at least some selected elements of the base operating system, in particular
relation to the current invention some of the communications drivers. The communication subsystem
enables the digital computer system to transfer messages, each comprising a series of characters, over
a communications network. The communication subsystem comprises an upper level communication
driver and a base lower level communications driver both forming part of the base operating system
and a enhanced lower level communications driver forming part of the enhanced operating system.
The upper level communications driver and the base lower level communications driver form part of
a protocol stack by which the digital computer system, while under control of the base operating
system, transmits and receives messages over the communications network. During a message
transmission, the upper level communications driver iteratively provides characters of the message
being transmitted to the base lower level communications driver for transmission, and while receiving
a message the base lower level communications driver iteratively providing characters of the message
being received to the upper level communications driver. During an enhanced operating system
session, the upper level communications driver and the enhanced lower level communications driver
form at least part of similar protocol stack, but characters are transferred between them using
multiple-character buffers.

Abstract: A two dimensional video convolver (10) generates
visually acceptable images on a standard television
receiver and includes a first adder stage (12, 14), a
second adder stage (16, 18, 20), and two pixel time
period delays (22, 24). The first adder stage
simultaneously receives binary data from three
adjacent pixels in a predetermined line in a first
direction of a picture to be reproduced on a display
during each pixel scan period. The binary data of
each of three pixels is processed with a predetermined
weight to generate a binary first stage output signal
representative of a weighted sum of the plurality of
the three pixels in the predetermined line. The
second adder stage is responsive to the binary first
adder stage output signal during a time period for
each of three predetermined adjacent lines in a second
orthogonal direction of a picture to be reproduced on
a display. The second adder stage processes the
binary weighted sum of each of the three lines with a
predetermined weight to generate a video convolver
output signal representative of a weighted sum of the
three pixels in a first direction over three adjacent
lines in a second orthogonal direction. Weighting is 
accomplished in the first and second adder stages by
using binary data bits for a pixel as received when
the weight for that pixel is a numerical one, and by
shifting the received binary data bits by a
predetermined number of y bits in a first direction to
provide a multiply function when a respective weight
is greater than one and equals 2 y .
