Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de commande pour un catalyseur accumulateur d'un véhicule automobile, servant à commander et à surveiller le processus de purification cyclique. Cet appareil de commande (1) est relié à un système de navigation (3) dans lequel sont mémorisées les données d'un itinéraire actuel. Avant le processus de purification, l'appareil de commande (1) vérifie, sur la base de l'itinéraire connu, à quel moment et à quel endroit il est possible de procéder à une purification du catalyseur accumulateur (8). Cette vérification s'effectue sur la base de restrictions environnementales afin de ne pas provoquer de pollution à l'intérieur d'une zone urbaine, d'une station thermale ou dans des zones à trafic limité (par ex. en raison d'une alerte au smog ou à l'ozone). Le déclenchement du processus de purification s'effectue de manière manuelle ou automatique.

Abstract: An optical arrangement of the Michelson interferometer type having a measuring arm for measuring optical properties of at least two mutually spaced regions in an optically transparent and/or diffusive object. A reference arm has a path length variation unit which generates a periodic change in path length for the radiation in the reference arm. Arranged in the measuring arm upstream of the object is a detour unit. The detour unit imparts a detour which is larger than at least one second measuring beam into at least one measuring beam. The detour unit selects a detour to be equal to a distance between regions to be measured in the object. Using the optical arrangement the object is irradiated with the aid of a number of measuring beams corresponding to the number of regions. In each case two measuring beams have an optical path difference which corresponds to a geometrical distance between two regions. Each reflection beam of the measuring beams which is reflected by one of the regions is superimposed in an interfering fashion with a third beam having a temporal variation in path length, and is detected. This arrangement can carry out "in-vivo" measurements of distances, thicknesses, at and/or in the human eye with the minimization of measuring errors within a sub-second time. The object does not have to be fixed during the measurement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a loudspeaker combination comprised of at least two loudspeakers, of which one is preceded by a low-pass frequency filter, the other by a phase shifter in the form of an all-pass filter. The invention addresses the problem of providing with simple means a configuration simple of realization of such a loudspeaker combination, whose frequency response and whose radiation characteristic is significantly improved. The invention resides therein that the other loudspeaker or the other loudspeakers is/are each preceded by at least one phase shifter, with all phase shifters being tuned with respect to their phase setting to the phase position of the loudspeakers radiating lower tones, such that all loudspeakers radiate the low tones in like phase position. The fundamental idea is herein: several primarily identically structured loudspeakers can be employed, all or at least the major portion of the loudspeakers are allowed to transmit low tones, with the loudspeakers, which, in addition to the low frequencies, also have to transmit higher frequencies, being changed in their phase position such that the low and the particular lower frequencies are radiated in identical phase position. A large loudspeaker area therein transmits the low frequencies, a smaller the medium and high frequencies. This yields better transmission results than can be attained with loudspeakers laid out in their structural form for separated frequency ranges. Hereby the technical expenditures are low, the possibly attainable improvement of radiation characteristics, however, is remarkable.

Abstract: A customized positioning fixture is fabricated specifically for a patient the purpose of positioning a portion, or all, of the patient's body relative to a medical apparatus. The customized positioning fixture is fabricated such that the relative position of the patient to the medical apparatus is predetermined before a procedure is performed on the patient using the apparatus. The positioning fixture is fabricated using a computer-aided or an automated computer-controlled process according to data determined for that patient, for example, using a rapid prototyping and tooling (RPT) technique. In some embodiments, the positioning fixture is designed to be repeatedly removed and reattached to the patient, thereby allowing the patient to be repeatedly precisely re-positioned in the medical device in separated sessions. A second positioning fixture can also be fabricated so that the patient can be positioned relative to a second apparatus in a way that the patient's position in the two different apparatuses is related in a desired manner.

Abstract: In the field of retail displays there is a need for improvements to vertical, tiered displays primarily intended for laminar articles. A modular display (10) includes upper (11) and lower (12) modules connected to one another. Each module has an upstanding wall (13,16) and is of L-shaped cross section. The upstanding wall (16) of each lower module 12 is secured to the protruding wall (14) of the upper module (11) below the upper edge of the wall (16). The upstanding walls (13,16) are thus in use spaced from one another to define an open ended receptacle. The lower end of an upper module (11) and an upper part of lower module (12) have mutually engageable connector parts for connecting the modules together. This avoids the need for connector parts engageable with the free, upper edge of a wall (13,16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method for producing precision parts, especially flat optical data carriers. According to the inventive method, the embossing procedure is program-controlled on the basis of the path function of an electromechanical or hydraulic drive of the driven mold half. When a servomotor is used, the internal path signal thereof can be directly used for calculating the path function or for operating the program control. The novel method allows for a complete speed control of the embossing phase. All factors that can be mechanically influenced from the exterior are detected in more detail for the conditions before and during the embossing phase, thereby allowing for an optimum precision and reproducibility.
