Patent DE-19611424-A1 (DE)
Inventor: MOEHRMANN KARL HEINZ DIPL ING
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-03-22
Abstract: Star-type optical networks with optical switches in the head position as a replacement for heavily attenuating optical couplers are known. Bad use of subscriber lines and the necessary high transmission data rates are a disadvantage in said arrangements. The invention therefore proposes to combine a star-type optical network for bi-directional signals, and a passive optical network for distribution signals.

Title: Microscopic object imaging method
Inventor: VELZEL CHRISTIAAN H F DR
IPC: G02B21/18
Filed: 1996-05-07
Abstract: The method involves using an extremely high-resolution interference microscope, at which the object is illuminated by device of a light source, preferably laser light. The ray of light from the source is divided through a beam splitter into two coherent partial beams, of which at least one serves for the illumination of the object. The beams are combined after the illumination of the object and, if necessary a reference object, for the production of at least one interference image. At least one partial beam of the ray is phase-modulated through a phase shifter for the simulation of a spatial change of the object and/or a reference object along the ray axis.
Patent DE-19623595-A1 (DE)
Inventor: FENNEL HELMUT
IPC: B60G17/015
Filed: 1996-06-13
Abstract: Proposed is a method of controlling the handling of a vehicle, the method calling for at least the vehicle weight (G) and the instantaneous location of the centre of gravity (SP) to be determined from tyre-sensor signals. In a further embodiment, the invention calls for the use of a weight-distribution model which includes as its basic data the basic weight distribution of the vehicle, i.e. weights which are always the same, even at different loads. In addition, variable weights, such as those of the passengers, the luggage, etc., and their location are determined by means of the tyre-sensor signals and incorporated in the weight-distribution model as a variable weight distribution. Knowing all such data, parameters characteristic of the dynamics of the vehicle's motion can be determined, thus enabling vehicle yaw rate and slip angle to be determined by suitable calculations without being dependent on the signals from a yaw-rate sensor or a lateral-acceleration sensor.

Patent DE-19640821-A1 (DE)
Title: Earth fault identification process for power distribution network
Inventor: FICKERT LOTHAR DIPL ING DR TEC
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 1996-10-02
Abstract: A process for identifying earth faults in power supply networks with multiple outlets (A1...An) and earth fault compensation consists of measuring the total current and filtering out at least one harmonic, preferably the fifth harmonic. The amplitude of the harmonic at each outlet is measured continuously and the outlets with the greatest harmonic amplitude are determined and shown as subject to earth faults. The issued voltage of the network is also measured. When this exceeds a predetermined limit the outlets subject to earth faults are displayed. Earth faults can be detected in this way by simple preparation of existing equipment and irrespective of the type of network. Very accurate and therefore expensive total current instruments are not necessary.

Title: Vehicle air conditioner evaporator
Inventor: RENNINGER HORST
IPC: F25B39/02
Filed: 1996-10-04
Abstract: The forced air-cooled evaporator comprises a flat series of tubular serpentine channels through which the refrigerant for a vehicle air conditioner unit is passed with a folded arrangement of horizontal metal fins contacting the surfaces in which moisture drainage slits are formed. Some fins are not perforated in order to collect the water and allow it to be dissipated by the air flow. Refrigerant is passed through the evaporator tubing (3) by the refrigeration system and a series of folded metallic fins (8) is positioned between adjacent turns of the tubing. Air (12) is forced through the fin structure by a fan.The horizontally disposed fins have a number of slits cut with downwardly deformed ramps through which condensed water vapour is allowed to fall through a number of fins until an unperforated fin is reached at which it collects and is blown through towards a vertical deflection plate.

Patent DE-19645811-A1 (DE)
Inventor: THUERMER FALK
IPC: H02P3/04
Filed: 1996-11-07
Abstract: The system operates a drive motor for the lifting mechanism at two different speeds. The motor is electrically braked when switched from the higher to the lower speed. A motor current supply starts the motor moving at the different speeds or switches it off and has control inputs. A sensor detects the force on the load lifting mechanism. A control circuit connected to a demanded lifting speed input receives the sensor signal and feeds a control signal to the motor current supply. A control program compares the load signal with an overload threshold value depending on the load wt. and/or an event. If this limit is exceeded the current supply is switched to the low speed mode if the mode has not already been selected.

Patent DE-19716267-A1 (DE)
Title: Vehicle wheel balancing method
Inventor: MATTEUCCI MARCO
IPC: G01M1/22
Filed: 1997-04-18
Abstract: The method involves fitting the wheel on a shaft, rotating the shaft, bringing it up to speed and recording the forces created by the presence of any unbalance.  The sensor measurements are processed by a data processing machine to provide an indication of the size and the geometric arrangement of the weights required to correct any unbalance present.  The speed at which balancing is performed is determined as a function of at least one parameter which is indicative of the rotational inertia of the wheel.  The parameter provides a relationship according to which it can be established whether the operating speed must decrease or increase for an increase in the inertia of the wheel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method for continuous production of dihydroxydiarylalkanes (bisphenols) by reacting fresh phenol and isolalkenylphenol from the cleavage of by-products and ketone. The main amount of bisphenol is obtained from the reaction mixture by means of crystallization. The mother liquor thus obtained is released from the phenol by means of distillation. The phenol is re-reacted . The residue obtained during distillation is cleaved by adding a basic catalyst in a reactive rectification. The overhead phenol and isoalkenylphenol is re-reacted. The residue from the first reaction column is acidified and is further cleaved in a second reactive rectification in the presence of an acidic catalyst and turned into distilled phenol which is used again in the reaction and the residue is removed.
