from being degraded. Electrodes (2a,2b) having circular
openings (2c,2d) are formed on a dielectric substrate (2),
and the dielectric substrate (2) is arranged between upper
and lower conductive cases (3,4). A resonance region is
used as a portion between the openings (2c,2d) of the
dielectric substrate (2), and columnar members (7,8)
consisting of a wave absorber are arranged between the upper
and lower conductive cases (3,4).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for
writing to or reading from optical recording media (AT)
which have data tracks for recording or reading out
information. It has a scanning means for scanning the
data tracks, a detection means which emits a signal (HF)
which is modulated in accordance with the information
stored on the optical recording medium (AT) and a track
detector (1), which generates a mirror singal (M) by
means of a reference value transmitter which mirror
signal indicates whether the scanning means is scanning a
data track or the region between two tracks. The object
of the present invention is to propose a device of the
abovementioned type which is capable of forming a
reliable mirror signal without a high outlay. For this
purpose, according to the invention, the reference value
transmitter (4) is designed as an adaptive reference
value transmitter to which the mirror signal (M) is fed
as input variable. 
     The invention can be applied to devices for
reading from and/or writing to optical recording media,
such as CD, CD-ROM, CR-R, DVD or the like.

Abstract: The method includes the steps of determining the number of revolutions of each wheel of at least one axis of the vehicle through a sensor arrangement, and evaluating them in an evaluation unit which forms control signals for actuators for the adjustment of the wheel brake pressure at the individual wheels. A decrease of the brake pressure of an inner wheel, or an increase of the brake pressure of at least one outer wheel is produced when driving in a curve and simultaneous activation of the brake. A curve is recognized when differences of the number of revolutions of the wheels of an axis become larger than a predetermined limit, the temporal change of the differences is smaller than a predetermined limit, and the difference between the differences is smaller than a predetermined limit.

Abstract: An engine control system for an internal
combustion engine of a type changing a fuel injection
timing between a first injection timing to achieve
homogeneous charge combustion and a second injection
timing to achieve stratified charge combustion comprises
at least one sensor and a controller for controlling fuel
injection timing and quantity. The controller selects one
of homogenous combustion mode and stratified
combustion mode in accordance with the engine
operating condition sensed by the sensor, calculates the
fuel injection quantity for the selected combustion mode,
and enables a start of a homogeneous mode injection of
fuel to a given cylinder of the engine at the first
injection timing for the homogeneous mode if calculation
of the homogeneous mode fuel injection quantity for the
given cylinder is finished prior to the first injection
timing for the given cylinder. If the calculation of the
fuel injection quantity for the given cylinder is not
finished yet, the control system performs a stratified
mode injection of the fuel to the given cylinder at the
second injection timing.

Abstract: A gas burner (15) adapted to discharge said fuel
at its the periphery for combustion, includes upper (30)
and lower (32) concave plates secured together to define
a chamber and an outer periphery having a plurality
of burner ports (42). The upper plate preferably has a
periphery extending radially at least as far as the
lower plate. The periphery of the upper plate is
downwardly angled, preferably more steeply than the
periphery of the lower plate. The peripheral edge (46)
of at least one or the other of the top or bottom
burner plates extends radially,outwardly from the
central axis a distance beyond the location of the
burner ports and into the path of burning gases
issuing from the ports whereby the temperature of
said burning gases is reduced. Preferably, the
periphery of the upper plate extends downwardly to
an elevation below the upper edges of the burner
ports, so that gases emerging from the ports are
caused to impinge against the periphery, thus
cooling the gases and thereby reducing the NO x 
content of the combustion gases.

Abstract: A facsimile machine has a voice input unit, a voice
output unit, and a unit for coding and decoding voice
signals. The facsimile machine sends a voice message
entered through the voice input unit by converting the voice
message to digitally coded voice data, then sending the
coded voice data by a standard facsimile transmission
procedure. A voice message received in this way is decoded,
then reproduced through the voice output unit. The voice
message can be sent, received, and reproduced together with
a related facsimile document. Alternatively, either a voice
message or a facsimile document can be sent, depending on
the capabilities of the receiving terminal.

Abstract: A method and system of forming and processing communication links in a satellite
communications system (10). The satellite communications system includes a plurality of
groups of transmitters, a satellite and a plurality of destination receivers. Each transmitter
is associated with only one transmitter group and transmits a communications signal. Each
respective communications signal is a CDMA signal having a predetermined code that is
associated with a transmitter. Each respective predetermined code is selected from a code
set assigned to the group of transmitters with which the transmitter is grouped. Each code
set is different from code sets associated with the transmitters of other selected transmitter
groups so that the code sets are arranged in a code set pattern that is repeated for selected
groups of transmitters. The satellite receives the communications signals and groups
together each received communications signal having a same predetermined code set. The
code sets of selected uplink communications signals in a group of received
communications signals are fully or partially despread, filtered, and respread so that the
group of communications signals contains communications signals from only one code set.
Each group of communications signals is then transmitted to a different destination
receiver, or groups on different code sets to the same destination receiver.

Abstract: When finely aligning an optical fiber (7), attached in groove (9) of a carrier (1), with a surface area of an optical element (5) such as a laser, the plate-shaped carrier is plastically deformed by having suitable tools displace or act on the carrier at the end of the fiber (7), within a deformation region (17). For facilitating the plastic deformation slots (15) are made around the deformation region (17), so that a weakened area (16) is obtained quite at the end surface of the fiber (7). The fine alignment can be made either for correcting the position of erroneously mounted optical building elements or for a fine alignment of building elements, which have been mounted without necessarily trying to achieve a very high accuracy. The very alignment procedure can be executed when simultaneously measuring the efficiency of the interface, by activating the laser (5) to emit light into the optical fiber (7). This light can be detected by a light detector (25), so that the deformation process can be made in order to obtain maximum output power at the end of the fiber (7). The material of the carrier (1) can be a metal having a high degree of purity, for example copper plate of a small thickness. The fine alignment procedure as described provides advantages both in economy and in the degree of accuracy in the alignment operation, so that little attenuation is obtained in the interface between the building elements in the finished product. The carrier together with the building elements is intended for being moulded into a capsule in order to obtain an optical component suited to be mounted on a circuit board.
