Abstract: A luminaire ( 1 ) comprising a concave reflector ( 2 ) enclosing a hollow space ( 3 ) and defining with an outer edge ( 4 ) a light emission window ( 5 ). The luminaire can accommodate at least two lamps ( 6, 7 ). The luminaire further comprises an optically semi-permeable wall ( 8 ) positioned in between the two lamps and dividing the hollow space into chambers ( 9, 10 ), and a counter-reflector ( 11 ) provided opposite the reflector. Light originating from the lamps can only leave the luminaire through the light emission window after passing through the semi-permeable wall. It is thus possible to obtain homogeneously mixed light as well as to obtain light of equal intensity from the various chambers, also when only one lamp is operating or the two lamps operate at different intensities.

Abstract: A reconstruction method based on a white-compensated luminance-reconstruction and using filter weights referred to as smartgreen-parameters is proposed. An aliasing free luminance signal, even at the multiples of the sample frequency and in case of a camera without optical low pass filter is achieved. Moreover this white-compensated-luminance-signal is free of signal distortion. The proposed method allows a suitable low pass filter to be added or combined and is particular well suited to implement a variety of aliasing free color- and contour-filters. The RGB color signals are reconstructed using filter weights that can be chosen as a function of the heaviness of the sensor matrix and of the optical transfer of the camera The reconstructed RGB signals may still further be improved with regard to colored aliasing according to the Nyquist-theorem. A false-color-filter is implemented in a color-reconstruc and applied to eliminate false colors and in order to reduce the amount of color aliasing. Also a development is proposed for low cost applications.

Abstract: The label blank (1) is arranged on the adhesive layer (2), which consists of a flowable, highly adhesive but essentially bleeding-prone adhesive, in the adhesive repelling coating (3) of a carrier strip (4). The adhesive layer (2) is applied on the bottom side of the bottom foil segment (5) to which it adheres better than to the adhesive repelling coating (3) of the carrier strip (4). The top side of the bottom foil segment (5) is connected to the bottom side of the top foil segment (7) by an adhesive layer, said top foil segment consisting of a heat-stabilized polyester foil. Other sufficiently heat stable materials are also suitable for use as top foil. The bottom foil segment (5) consists of a shrink foil that irreversibly shrinks under the influence of heat, whereby a surrounding edge area emerges in which the top foil segment projects some decimeters over the bottom foil segment. The resulting border area can serve as a collecting area for the adhesive that can eventually come out under the bottom foil segment (5) during transportation, storage or subsequent processing.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'actionner un dispositif de frein de stationnement électromécanique, pour un frein pouvant être actionné à l'aide d'un actionneur électromécanique. L'actionneur comprend un moteur électrique et un démultiplicateur monté en aval du moteur électrique et servant à convertir un mouvement rotatif en un mouvement translatoire. Le dispositif de frein de stationnement électromécanique se présente sous forme de mécanisme de verrouillage pouvant empêcher le mouvement de rotation de l'actionneur dans le sens de desserrage et ne peut être desserré qu'après une autre application du frein. L'invention vise à garantir que le dispositif de frein de stationnement électromécanique fonctionne de manière fiable dans tous les états de marche, sans l'aide d'un capteur de force de serrage. A cet effet, il est prévu de déterminer et de mémoriser,  pendant l'activation du dispositif de frein de stationnement, une valeur moyenne du couple (Mstationnement) du moteur électrique, requise pour appliquer au processus de freinage de stationnement la force d'application de frein correspondante, tout en détectant simultanément la position de l'actionneur (f). A des moments ultérieurs, le moteur électrique est régulé de sorte qu'il applique ledit couple (Mstationnement) multiplié d'un facteur de correction k ?=>, afin que la force de serrage appliquée soit maintenue ou augmentée.
