Patent EP-0213815-A2 (EP)
Inventor: JACKSON JOSEPH FENWICK
IPC: B23B31/30
Filed: 1986-08-08
Abstract: A fluid-operated ram, for example comprising a cylinder 10 and piston 12, is provided for actuating a device such as a chuck having jaws 15. When the jaws are moved by the ram to grip a workpiece this constitutes a limiting position which impedes the flow of fluid thus causing a build-up of fluid pressure within the ram. This build-up can be detected to give an indication as to when a workpiece has been securely and safely gripped. To ensure that a false indication is not given if the ram reaches an end of its working stroke before the workpiece is securely gripped, means (22) are provided to relieve pressure within the ram when the ram reaches an end of its working stroke.

Abstract: This toe binding (101) has two bent levers (109, 209) which grip the boot sole laterally, are provided with shoulders (118, 218), which bear control cams (118a, 218a) consisting of a restoring portion (118a2, 218a2) and a supporting portion (118a1), and can be swivelled counter to the force of a release spring (111, 211) about axes (108, 208) extending vertically to the upper side of the ski. The toe binding (101) also has a sole holder (107, 207) which is held by the control cams (118a, 218a) in the travelling position, is vertically adjustable by means of an adjusting screw (106, 206), and can be swivelled in a transverse plane so that it can be raised freely on the releasing side in the case of a fall twisting backwards. Due to the restoring portion (118a2, 218a2) of the control cam (118a, 218a) of the swivelled bent lever (109, 209), the released lower end of the adjusting screw (106, 206) is forced into its central position in the elongate hole (102a, 203c) and subsequently held by the supporting portions (118a1, 218a1) of the two control cams (118a, 218a). In order to allow a continuous restoring of the adjusting screw (106, 206) and of the sole holder (107, 207) into the entry position after a twisting fall of the skier, provision is made for the restoring portion (118a2, 218a2) to be connected at an obtuse angle ( alpha ) to the supporting portion (118a1, 218a1) of the control cam (118a, 218a), said supporting portion holding the adjusting screw (106, 206) in the travelling position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A novel sense amplifier and decoupling device structure for integrated circuit memories wherein an embodiment of a cross-coupled sense amplifier includes two PMOS devices (10, 12), the gates of which devices are grounded and clamp the downward voltage swing of the memory bitlines (26, 28) to the absolute value of the threshold voltage (VTP) of the grounded-gate PMOS devices in the sense amplifier. This limited voltage swing does not affect charge storage of storage capacitors because the absolute value of the threshold voltage (V T ) of the cell transfer gate device is larger. Precharging the bitlines is achieved by equalizing the two bitlines, each charged to VDD and |VTP|, respectively. One node of the sense amplifier retains a full VDD swing and is conveniently connected to the DATA bus. The sense amplifier bitline swing is limited to a swing of VDD- |VTP| and saves power without adversely affecting charge storage and the precharging level     and improves the signal development time during sensing.

Abstract: A method for performing playbacks of pieces of music recorded on recording media, in which a subsequent piece of music to be played back is randomly selected among pieces of music which do not correspond to any playback-inhibition identification numbers nor any playback-completion identification numbers both of which have been already stored in a memory. The memory includes two regions "A" and "B", in which "A" are stored the playback-completion identification numbers, and in which "b" are stored the playback-inhibition identification numbers. Immediately before the randomly-selected playback is produced, the identification numbers stored in the region "B" are transferred to the region "A" so that the subsequent piece of music is randomly selected among the pieces of music which do not correspond to the identification numbers of which are not stored in the region "A", whereby the randomly-selected playback can be repeated, without necessity of repeated procedure for designating any music pieces which are prohibited from being played back.

Abstract: Hitherto, sectional false floors have been produced from a trough- shaped body made of a material with high tensile strength and high modulus of elasticity and from a trough filling made of a material with low tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity, e.g. anhydrite. In the event of high point loading, the trough filling may be destroyed owing to its low tensile strength, whereas the trough is still able to carry load. The tensile, bending and edge strengths of the bearing slabs are to be increased and a method for their production which can be carried out in a small number of working steps without the previously required trough is to be provided. The bearing slab additionally contains a fibre material made of glass and/or steel, the fibre length being between 10 and 60 mm and the volume percent of the fibre material being 0.1 - 10 % by volume. The fibre material is added to the starting materials and this mixture is applied to the underside of a strong top covering. Used in the laying of service conduits. <IMAGE>
