Abstract: A superconductor for a magnetic field shielding having 
at least one composite lamination comprising a thin film 
superconductor (1) and a metal layer (2) laminated with the 
thin film (1) superconductor having a thickness not larger 
than that obtained at the turning point of a characteristics 
where the magnetic field shielding effect of a single film of 
the superconductor changes from an abrupt increase to a 
gradual increase as the thickness of the superconductor film 
increases. Such a superconductor for a magnetic field 
shielding has an extremely great magnetic field shielding 
effect even when the superconductor comprises thin layers.

Title: Rammer for ordnance
IPC: F41A9/42
Filed: 1987-02-10
Abstract: A flick rammer for artillery rounds. The rammer has a loading tray that is positioned in alignment with the powder chamber at a prescribed distance to the rear of the gun. The tray accommodates the round. The rammer also has a mechanical acceleration component that engages the rear of the round and is connected to a cylinder-type drive mechanism. To improve the device to the extent that ramming will remain rapid whereas the design will be simple enough to operate reliably even at light loads and to occupy very little space, the cylinder-type drive mechanism is a pneumatic cylinder that communicates with a compressed-air reservoir through a rapid-opening control valve, and the mechanical acceleration component is connected to the moving component of the pneumatic cylinder through a stroke-transmission mechanism with a transmission ratio greater than 1.

Title: Material and process for jointing tiles
IPC: C09K3/10
Filed: 1987-12-07
Abstract: Hitherto, materials for jointing tiles contained only a relatively small amount of filler and, what is more, could not be used coloured in conjunction with open-pore tiles, since the colour pigments migrate with the binder into the tiles and discolour them. The individual constituents of the filler (filler particles 12) are each pigmented or surrounded by a colour layer (13), and the binder (11) itself remains colourless and transparent (Fig. 1). This makes it possible to increase the filler content without jeopardising the mechanical properties. Nor do the dyes any longer penetrate into open-pore tiles (14) or their edges (15).

section entering that opening, especially for sealing 
the space between duct walls and entering cable con­
duits, a solution is provided which uses sealing devices 
suitable for the re-equipment of already existing 
systems while achieving an especially high sealing 
action. This is achieved as a result of the device (5)

Abstract: A method of instant photography is disclosed wherein graphics 
are reproduced on a photographic print along with the image of 
an object (43) whose photograph is taken using a camera (70). 
The method includes the steps: 
   a) producing a light flash,    b) and channeling at least some of the light to a zone 
proximate the camera lens (94) and extending about the direct 
path of light that travels from said object through the lens to 
film (18) in the camera,    c) whereby light channeled to that zone also passes through 
the lens and operates to illuminate the film, forming a light 
modulated background to the image of the object and also to the 
reproduced graphics.     
     Apparatus for use in the method, the camera (70) having means 
(90) for producing a light flash, comprises 
   a) means (80) for channeling at least some of the light 
to a zone proximate the camera lens (94) and extending about the 
direct path of light that travels from said object through said 
lens to film (18) in the camera,    b) and structure (76a, 76b, 76c, 76d) positioning said

Patent EP-0297361-A3 (EP)
IPC: G02B13/22
Filed: 1988-06-16
Abstract: An image-forming mangification of a telecentric optical 
system for use in exposure apparatus such as a projecting 
apparatus, a laser plotter and the like is determined by the 
focal length ratio. An error in processing and arranging 
lenses causes the image-forming magnification to be finely 
adjusted. In addition, a magnification is varied in a great 
extent. According to the present invention, a lens movable 
along the optical axis and having a positive focal length 
which is selected is placed at a position corresponding to 
the point at which the focal points of two lens groups 
coincide with each other. The image-forming magnification 
ratio can be varied by moving the lens while the distance 
between an object and an image is kept constant and the 
feature of the telecentric optical system is maintained.

Title: Electronic earth key
IPC: H04M1/53
Filed: 1988-11-09
Abstract: Earthing is normally provided by means of an electro-mechanical key. For keys of this type, no cost-saving rubber-mat contacts can be used because of their high-impedance contact resistance. In order to provide a connection between a telecommunications earth line (E) and a subscriber line (La, Lb) with minimal impedance, an electronic implementation by means of controllable field-effect transistors (V1, V2, V3) is proposed, in which only conductive FETs are provided in the earth path during the earthing. According to the invention, the subscriber line (La, Lb) is connected to a two-way rectifier bridge circuit (V1, V2, V4, V5), where each rectifier path has a diode (V4, V5) and an FET (V1, V2). The two FETs (V1, V2) are connected in parallel with one another and in each case in series with a further FET (V3), where the further FET (V3) is connected to the telecommunications earth line (E). All gate connections of the FETs are connected to a common control line (ET), via which, for example, by means of a processing unit, a potential is applied to provide an earth. This can be achieved by means of the processing unit, either automatically on the basis of stored control information or due to the operation of keys (rubber-mat contact), which is recognised by the processing unit. <IMAGE>

Title: Visually assisted method for transfer of data
IPC: G06F3/048
Filed: 1988-09-27
Abstract: A method of transferring data between files within an 
application program or between multiple, independent, 
simultaneously active application programs appearing 
concurrently on a computer display screen is disclosed. Data 
to be transferred from a first location is marked on the 
computer display screen. Subsequent optional selection of 
either a Cut or Copy function causes a distinctive border to 
appear around the mrked data. An input device may then be used 
to move the bordered area to a new location on the computer 
display screen without alteration or movement of the 
originally marked data. A data transfer symbol appears within 
the bordered area during the data transfer operation to 
signify that such an operation is in progress. Further 
selection of a Paste function causes the marked data to be 
inserted at its new location and deletion from the computer 
display screen of the distinctive border and of the data 
transfer symbol. Additionally, the originally marked data is 
deleted from the computer screen display if the Cut function 
was chosen, while, if the Copy function was chosen, the 
originally marked data is unmarked and left unaltered at the 
conclusion of the data transfer operation.
