Abstract: A timer alarm device is supported on an ear as an earring by pinching an earlobe of the ear with an arm and a clip. Spring force to pinch the earlobe is produced by permitting a spring provided on the clip to run on a corner of a flat part. A timer circuit, a piezoelectric buzzer, and a battery cell, etc., are accomodated on a head part provided on the upper part of the arm. Since the piezoelectric buzzer for outputting an alarm sound is located in the vicinity of an earhole, a user can hear a greater sound even with a smaller sound volume and hence attention of the user can be securely called. Since functions and component parts are limited to eliminate the need of setting and confirmation that rely upon eyes, even a visually handicapped user can conveniently use the device.

Abstract: The positioning method involves defining a position with the control element up against a stop whilst feeding drive instructions and evaluation control element signals. This null position is used during subsequent positioning processes. The delivery of movement commands is performed in two regions so that the control element contacts the stop in one case and does not in the other. For each region the position sensor signals are detected as a function of the movement commands and the null position signal value is determined as that for which the functional relationship is identical in both regions.

Abstract: The device detects the revs, rotational direction and/or rotation angle position of a commutator motor. The motor has two load brushes and at least two additional sensor brushes esp. for a car window or sun roof opening and closing mechanism. The sensor brushes (SB1,SB2) are arranged in at least two electric circuits. The circuits are formed of the sensor brushes (SB1,SB2) and at least one supply brush (LB1,LB2). In each electric circuit, on rotation of the commutator motor, the commutator laminates (3) intermittently make an electric connection between the sensor brushes (SB1,SB2) and the supply brushes (LB1,LB2) and thus generate relatively phase shifted sensor signals. Preferably, the sensor brushes and the corresponding electric circuit are supplied by a current circuit separate from the load current for the load brushes.

Abstract: An electrode plate (1) for a secondary battery having a nonaqueous electrolyte comprises a collector (2) and a coated layer (3) formed on the collector. The ratio (b/a) of an amount (b) of binder at an exposed surface (5) of the coating layer to an amount (a) of binder at a contact surface between the coating layer and the collector is less than 2, for example, in the range 0.05 to 2. The electrode plate is manufactured by forming the coated layer to have a predetermined thickness by repeating at least twice steps of coating a coating solution on the collector and then drying the coating layer. The thickness of a coated layer formed in a second or subsequent coating and drying process is increased by an amount in the range of 0.4 to 1.6 times of the thickness of the coated layer formed in preceding coating and drying processes. 
     The coating process is performed in a manner such that the thickness of the layer formed in and after the second time is in a range of 0.4 to 1.6 time of the thickness of the layer already formed, or in a range of 0.6 to 1.6 time in weight ratio per unit area. 
     Another way of carrying out the method is to adjust the ration (b/a) of the binder amounts at both boundary portions of the coated layer, coating solutions having different composition ratios between active material and binder are used for each respective coating and drying process.

Alternatively, one of the cams in each pair can be in the form of a cylindrical roller. Alternatively, the rear end of the platform can be connected to the upper surface of the board by a rigid strip, e.g. of aluminium, or the rear portion of the platform can be supported by a rigid or semirigid plate of a visco-elastic material with a minimum Shore A hardness of 80.

Abstract: On décrit un matériel de contrôle automatique réalisé à l'aide de composants CMOS peu coûteux. Malgré l'utilisation de circuits CMOS dans ce matériel, lesquels présentent généralement une faible précision de synchronisation, on obtient une bonne précision de synchronisation à l'aide de plusieurs techniques. On utilise une boucle asservie de retard pour compenser les variations de synchronisation provoquées par la variation du processus, et pour opérer lentement des changements de température de fonctionnement. On utilise un élément de chauffage dépendant de la fréquence, afin d'éviter des changements induits par la température dans des délais de propagation provoqués par des variations rapides de chaleur produite par les circuits CMOS lorsque la fréquence de fonctionnement change. Cette conception permet également de réduire le nombre d'éléments de circuit dans les trajets critiques de synchronisation, lesquels traitent les signaux variant en fonction de la fréquence programmée. Afin d'atteindre ce but, une horloge de référence à fréquence fixe, fonctionnant en continu, est retardée d'une quantité fractionnaire d'une période d'horloge. Un compteur, également cadencé sur la fréquence d'horloge de référence, compte des périodes pleines d'horloge dont le nombre est programmé, de même que l'est la quantité fractionnaire de retard. Lorsque le nombre voulu de périodes pleines d'horloge s'est écoulé, l'impulsion suivante du signal d'horloge retardé de manière fractionnaire est combiné dans une porte à la sortie du générateur de synchronisation en tant que signal de bord, à l'aide de l'intervalle programmé entre les impulsions.
