Patent EP-0241842-A3 (EP)
Title: Device for crushing ice cubes
IPC: F25C5/04
Filed: 1987-04-07
Abstract: A device for comminuting small ice bodies includes a housing without top and bottom walls in which a horizontally extending shaft is rotatably mounted. Disks forming beater knives are mounted on the shaft and counterknives in the form of cross-shaped breaking members are attached to the housing. Groups of adjacent disks define chambers in such a way that each chamber receives exactly one ice body. The chambers are arranged distributed over the circumference of the disks and along the length of the shaft in such a way that only a single ice body is comminuted at a given time. This reduces the power required for driving the shaft to a minimum.

Title: Manifold for injection-moulding hot runner systems
IPC: B29C45/27
Filed: 1987-09-17
Abstract: In its housing (10) a modular unit (70) comprising a concentric arrangement of a material tube (12), a heating device (20) and a sleeve (50) can be fitted and removed at the end.

The sleeve (50) has air gaps (54) underneath supporting rings (56). The connections (22, 32) are inserted in an axially sealed manner at one end of the modular unit (70). A removable plug (62) allows for easy cleaning in the fitted state. Further similar modular units (70) can be joined on coaxially or at an angle. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and device for reducing the energy requirement by a telephone set powered by the telephone line
IPC: H04M19/08
Filed: 1987-12-31
Abstract: The electric energy which may be supplied to a telephone set via the telephone line is limited. If the telephone set has a control device with a microprocessor system, the electric energy supplied to the control device must be reduced substantially, since a large proportion of the energy which can be drawn from the telephone line is required for the talking/listening devices. In the new method, the system clock (T) is supplied from an external source and is switched off at a pre-defined time (t2) by the microprocessor system by means of an internally generated de-activation signal (TA1) and switched on again at a later time (t5) by means of an externally generated activation signal (ST1). The activation signal is extracted from a control clock (ST) operating at a lower frequency than that of the system clock (T). The method enables a substantial reduction in the power consumption of the control devices, without which an added- feature telephone, for example, could not be powered via the telephone line. <IMAGE>

IPC: H04N7/01
Filed: 1987-11-16
Abstract: A method for transmitting a high definition 
television signal. This signal is encoded to create an HDMAC 
signal having half the number of frames per second and the 
same number of lines per frame. Each line has a first and a 
second time interval assigned to luminance and chrominance 
signals, respectively, and a third time interval for update 
signals comprising line difference signals during a first 
fraction of said number of frames per second, high frequency 
luminance signals during a second fraction and high 
frequency chrominance signals during a third fraction of 
said number of frames per second. The HDMAC signal obtained 
is filtered to an assigned channel bandwidth less than the 
bandwidth of the high definition television signal for 
transmission over a single channel.

Title: Devices and methods of controlling alternating electric current
IPC: H05B47/11
Filed: 1987-10-29
Abstract: A device for producing alternating electric current of high frequency for power consumers such as fluorescent tubes (Ly1, Ly2) comprises a transformer with a winding (n3) connected in series with an output terminal (e) and active electronic components such as transistors (T1, T2) controlling the output current, the transistors being controlled by electric voltages produced by inductive feedback in feedback windings (n11, n12). Magnetic saturation is utilized to modify the inductive relationship in such a way that the transistors (T1, T2) cyclically change the direction of the output current. The feedback takes place in two magnetic cores (Tr1, Tr2) of the transformer, each core being provided with at least one further electric magnetization winding designated a command winding (n5, n6) as electric current is fed through the command windings to control magnetic saturation of the magnetic cores (Tr1, Tr2). As a result, combined control of the frequency and of the active electric power in the fluorescent tubes (Ly1, Ly2) is possible so that the luminous power may be controlled over a wide range while suitably high voltages can be maintained to ignite the tubes properly.

Title: Method and apparatus for laminating composite materials
IPC: B29C43/20
Filed: 1988-11-25
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for 
preventing buckling of thermoplastic composite 
laminates during an autoclaving process. Edge strips 
are placed around the periphery of the laminate to 
prevent the vacuum bag of the autoclave from making 
contact with the edges of the laminate when the 
autoclave is pressurized. As a result, the vacuum bag 
is prevented from imparting inwardly directed forces to 
the edges of the laminate which could otherwise cause 
the laminate to buckle.
Patent EP-0289136-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06K7/00
Filed: 1988-03-25
Abstract: A data transmission system for the non-contact 
transmission of data between a station (1) and a portable 
data card (2), both of which contain resonant circuits 
(5, 11) tuned to the same frequency. The data card (2) 
receives power from the station (1) via inductive 
coupling of the two resonant circuits and transmits data 
to the station by means of a loading circuit (14) on the 
card which loads the card resonant circuit and hence, by 
mutual coupling, the station resonant circuit in response 
to data stored within the card. The card also contains a 
reading circuit (17) containing a pulse generation 
circuit which generates a pulse whenever the power 
received by the card resonant circuit is interrupted and 
then restored. Data may thus be transmitted from the 
station to the card by deactuating the station resonant 
circuit in response to the data to be transmitted, the 
resulting pulses generated within the card being 
interpreted as the transmitted data.

members, thereby welding them to each other. In a 
manufacturing apparatus, a rotational support 
arrangement is provided for supporting the needle and 
pipe members in such a manner that end faces of the 
respective needle and pipe members are abutted against 
each other at a location coincident with an optical axis 
(A) of the laser beam, and for rotating the needle and 
pipe members about their respective axes.
