Patent EP-0816603-A3 (EP)
Inventor: VIEREGGE SIEGFRIED
IPC: E05B63/20
Filed: 1997-06-26
Abstract: The lock comprises a latch formed as a slider (5) as well as the cruciform piece (7) operating the controlling part (8). The control of the slider is achieved immediately by a shaft (19) carrying a peg (20) which engages in a slot (21), and mediately by the controlling part (8) itself under pressure from the cruciform piece. When the door is closed the movement of the slider and of the bolt (6) is possible as soon as the cruciform piece enters the associated aperture in the sheet metal (2) of the lock. The bolt does not move until it is in line with another aperture.

Abstract: A power transmission has an internal combustion engine (40)
and motor/generators (14,16) which are combined through a summing
planetary gearing (12). The planetary gearing cooperates with downstream
gearing to provide a hybrid power transmission. A plurality of auxiliary or
power take-off (PTO) shafts (70,72,74,76) are included to permit the
operation of auxiliary devices, such as main hydraulic pumps, air conditioners
or power steering pumps. A fluid operated clutch (36) is incorporated
between the engine and the gearing so that the motor/generators can drive the
PTO shafts independently of the engine. The main pump fluid output can be
directed to engage the clutch when the engine input is desired. The
motor/generators are controlled to provide output speed resulting in one
member of the gearing being driven at a speed equal to the idle speed of the
engine, such that the clutch can be synchronously engaged.

Abstract: A tandem blade cascade having characteristics
enhanced is provided. In a high pressure ratio blade
lattice, inevitable generation of an shock wave is
shifted, as much as possible, toward a rear portion of
an upper surface of a front blade to inhibit
separation from a blade surface from being caused by
interference of the shock wave and a boundary layer,
and boundary layer control is performed such that a
speed, a momentum and the like of a jet flowing from
a trailing edge of a lower surface of the front blade
onto an upper surface of a rear blade are regulated to
obtain a flow along the upper surface of the rear
blade, so that separation of the boundary layer on the
upper surface of the rear blade is restricted to a
vicinity of a trailing edge.

from a respective plurality of input lines (1-1...1-4), and
a plurality of contention means which output cells that
have been read from these buffer units to a single output
line without collisions between the cells. Each buffer
unit has a first buffer (40-1...40-4). Each contention
control means comprises means for entering, in a cell which
has been input to the corresponding first buffer,
information indicative of the priority with which that cell
is to be output, and a contention control unit (3-1...3-4)
provided in correspondence with each first buffer, said
contention control units being cascade connected to the
input line. Each contention control unit (3-1...3-4)
comprises a second buffer (70-1...70-4) for temporarily
storing cells which have been output from the immediate
upstream contention control unit for eventual output to the
output line; means (60-1...60-4) for comparing the
information indicative of priority that has been entered
respectively in the head cell of the cells stored in the
first buffer and in the head cell of the cells stored in
the second buffer; and selection means (80-1...80-4) which,
in accordance with the comparison result of the comparing
means, selects the cell with the higher priority and
outputs it to the immediately downstream contention control
unit or to the output line. 
     The contention control circuit temporarily stores
cells arriving from a respective plurality of input lines
to output cells to a single output line without collisions
by simply comparing, at each input line in turn, the
priority of the cell that has arrived from that input line,
with the priority of the cell selected from among cells
that have arrived at preceding input lines as the cell
having the highest priority, and again selecting the cell
with the higher priority.

Abstract: Uniform irradiation of an entire region to be irradiated with polarized light for
optical alignment of a liquid crystal cell element using a small polarization element is
achieved by light, which contains UV radiation emitted from a lamp, being focused by an
oval focusing mirror, and being incident via a first planar mirror and a polarization
element using a multilayer film on an integrator lens which makes a uniform distribution of
the portion of unpolarized light or the distribution of the illuminance of the polarized light
in a certain direction and the distribution of the polarization direction. The extinction ratio
of the polarized light emerging from the integrator lens is therefore made uniform over the
entire region to be irradiated even if scattered light is incident on the polarization
element. The light emerging from the integrator lens is incident on a bandpass filter via a
shutter. The polarized light in a predetermined wavelength range is incident, via a
second planar mirror, on a workpiece, such as a liquid crystal cell element or the like.
Furthermore, a polarization element using the Brewster angle or the like can also be used.

Abstract: In order to reproduce the audio signal which has been recorded as an FM audio signal in the slanted tracks of a recording medium in tape form by means of read/write heads (2, 3) arranged on a rotating head drum (1), it is possible to use PLL circuits which are designed as FM demodulators (31, 32) and in each case form a phase-locked loop with a VCO. FM demodulators (31, 32) of this type generally operate satisfactorily e.g. in video recorders with improved audio signal recording, but there is the risk of the frequency of the VCO of the respective FM demodulator (31, 32) drifting when the read/write head (2, 3) assigned to it leaves the wrap-around region of the recording medium on the head drum 1 and only being able to be synchronized with the FM audio signal when the said head re-enters the recording medium. 
     According to the invention, each FM demodulator (31, 32) is supplied with the FM audio signal even when the read/write head (2, 3) assigned to it leaves the wrap-around region of the recording medium on the head drum 1, by the respective FM demodulator (31, 32) being fed the audio signal which is read by the respective other read/write head (2, 3).
