Abstract: Suspension method for vehicles. 
<??>An elastic means (54) is arranged between the support or stop (31) of the spring plate and the spring plate (32), so as progressively to reduce the effect of one of the two springs (R20, R30), mounted in series, when the said spring plate (32) comes to bear and a second stop or second rest (33) comes to limit the travel of the spring plate (32), when it leaves its first rest (31) or first stop, the distance between the two stops (31, 33) determines a precise travel of the spring plate (32), from which there is derived, over the suspension travel, a "comfort zone" in which the stiffness is lower than over the remaining travel, both in impact and in relaxation and in which the first turning point of the curve is situated at a value very close to the equivalent load of the vehicle in the static position. 
<??>Suspensions particularly for motor vehicles.

Abstract: A CATV system includes a headend (10) which transmits programming including pay-per-view programming and a cable distribution system which distributes the programming. Service providing equipment (20) is coupled to the cable distribution system for supplying the programming to at least one subscriber. A subscriber terminal (500) is coupled to the service providing equipment (20) over a communication link. The subscriber terminal (500) includes an input device (520) for inputting subscriber-supplied signals indicative of a pay-per-view event to generate a message. A transmitter (540) responsive to the subscriber-supplied signals transmits the message to the service providing equipment (20) over the communication link. The service providing equipment (20) includes a service apparatus (400) coupled between first and second diplexers (295; 395). The diplexers (295; 395) separate the transmission path between the headend (10) and the subscriber terminal into downstream or forward and upstream or reverse transmission paths. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A switch for operating an electrical apparatus has a removable key element for selecting the switch enable/inhibit position. The switch consists of a functional element (21) arranged in the housing of the electrical apparatus and of an operating element (22), which is placed on the functional element on the outside of the apparatus and coaxially with respect to the functional element, for switching on/off. According to the invention, the key element (11) is an integral component of a cap-like surface-mounted element (10) which is held such that it can be latched on the operating element (22). This results, in principle, in the key element (11) always being able to remain on the switch, especially in the enable position, while, on the other hand, it can also be pulled off and stored separately if required if the apparatus is intended to remain in its off state. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Flight time of a stream of ink drops is measured and compared against a set point to determine variations therefrom. Variations due to changes in the ink composition are compensated for by adding or withholding solvent in proportion to the detected change. Changes due to variations in nozzle drive voltage result in the computation and use of a new flight time set point value, if necessary to avoid erroneous corrective action.

Abstract: The air to be purified is extracted by suction from a work space (2) and fed to at least two parallel active carbon adsorbers (10 to 13). Each adsorber can be switched back and forth between a loading mode in which it adsorbs the solvent vapours from the exhaust air flowing through it and a regeneration mode in which it is separated from the exhaust air stream and flushed with steam and desorbed. To save energy and reduce environmental pollution, it is provided that each adsorber at the end of the regeneration period passes through a drying phase in which exhaust air from the work space flows through the adsorber, which exhaust air is then fed to an adsorber operating in the loading mode. In the periods in which an adsorber operates in the loading mode, it initially passes through a start phase which is followed by a main phase, air streams from the adsorbers in the main phase being returned directly to the work space, while the air stream from an adsorber in the start phase is kept separate from the first-mentioned air streams. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The planar electrodes (1, 3) are separated and joined by a solid electrolyte (2). The cathode (1) reacts with oxygen in oxygen-bearing gas in operation. The cellular, porous film (10), attached to the cathode on the opposite side to the electrolyte film (2), has a cellular structure allowing isotropic flow of oxygen-bearing gas parallel to electrolyte layer (2). The film (10) is formed by creating a skeleton from open-pore plastic foam containing cathode material paste (Fig. 9). During drying and sintering the plastic material of the foam evaporates leaving the cellular porous structure attached to the cathode. The thickness of this film must be at least twice the diameter of a cell (11).
