Abstract: A multi-speed step-change transmission has an input shaft (11), a first and a second layshaft (13, 14) and an output shaft (15). The shafts (11, 13, 14, 15) are parallel to one another but are arranged so that only pairs are in a common plane. Arranged on the shafts 11, 13, 14 are gearwheels (20 to 24, 30 to 32, 40 to 44), which mesh with one another to form pairs. Selector sleeves (25, 33, 45) serve to rotationally connect one of the gearwheels (designed as freely revolving gears) of the pairs to the respective shaft (11, 13, 14) supporting it. The other gears of the pairs are designed as fixed gears. The input shaft (11) and the second layshaft (14), which is connected to the output shaft (15) by way of a gearwheel pair (40/50), each carry a selector sleeve (25, 45) which can be displaced in two selection directions for the engagement of either of two gears of the transmission (10). The first layshaft (13) carries a third selector sleeve (33). The third selector sleeve (33) can likewise be displaced in two selection directions and serves to engage either of two forward gears. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An apparatus [10,30] for combining the contents of an X register[12], shifted by m places, with the contents of a Y register[14] to generate a result Z[16]. The functional unit can also be configured to perform parallel operations on sub-operands in the X and Y registers. The division of the apparatus [10,30] into sub-operands is controlled by a mask which specifies the boundary of the sub-operands. The shifting operation is accomplished by multiplexers that connect the p th  bit of the X register[12] to the adder stage that operates on bit Y p-m  of the Y register[14]. Circuitry[49] is provided at the boundary of the sub-operands to prevent the bit signals corresponding to the X register[12] from being routed across a sub-operand boundary. Similarly, circuitry[37] is provided for preventing the carry output of an adder stage that operates on one sub-operand from being propagated to an adder stage that operates on another sub-operand.

Abstract: The burner is operated at a distance from the flame stability limit. The light intensity is measured as the flame characteristic which represents the state of combustion. A mean value signal is formed therefrom, as is a signal for the standard deviations. Furthermore, a specific value of the standard deviations is defined. This value is assigned a different mean value signal depending on the type of gas. The controller detects from this assignment the type of gas with which the burner is being operated, and prescribes a corresponding desired value for the mean value signal, doing so with the aid of a family of characteristics (characteristics map), or as the distance from the actual value of the mean value signal assigned to the defined value of the standard deviations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A boron estimating method in which a plurality of reference samples shallowly ion-implanted with boron in different dosages are prepared and heat-treated under the same conditions in temperature and time as a bonding heat treatment achieved to obtain the bonded wafer, thereafter, the boron profile in the direction of the depth of the bonding interface in each reference sample is measured using the SIMS and compared with an actual boron profile at the bonding interface of a bonded wafer to be estimated so as to determine one reference sample whose boron profile is equivalent to the actual boron profile of the bonded wafer to be estimated, and finally a dosage of boron in the determined reference sample is estimated by conversion to be a surface density of boron present at the bonding interface of the bonded wafer to be estimated at an initial stage prior to the bonding heat treatment of the bonded wafer to be estimated. Thus, the boron profile obtained by the SIMS measurement can be converted into the boron surface density with the result that the boron quantity at the bonding interface of a bonded wafer can be readily estimated to be a boron surface density.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an accompanying method, for use in a photographic camera for determining whether to utilize fill flash illumination in photographing a current scene. Specifically, fill flash illumination is used if both an initial value of the scene lighting contrast, based upon measured near primary and distant primary (or background) subject lighting levels, indicates that a distant primary or background subject is lighter than a near primary subject and use of fill flash illumination will reduce the scene lighting contast from its initial value. Fill flash illumination will be inhibited if the distant primary or background subject will not be adequately illuminated to generate a proper exposure thereof or if the near primary subject will be excessively illuminated relative to the distant primary or background subject so as to cause a reversal in the scene lighting contrast to occur. However, if an energy saving flash unit is being used, the output power of the flash can be appropriately reduced to a level sufficient to eliminate a reversal. Alternatively, a programmable shutter, if it is available, can be set to a different opening for a flash exposure than for an ambient exposure in order to prevent the scene lighting contrast from reversing.

Abstract: A container bag (10) which comprises a body (14) of flexible material having lifting loops (15) across the corners (20) thereof and baffles (22) to maintain a square configuration is characterised in that a liner (25) is provided sealed to the baffles (22). The use of baffles (22) in square configuration FIBC's has hitherto prevented the use of a liner (28) since the baffles (22) would prevent the liner (28) fitting properly in each of the corners of the bag (10). In accordance with the present invention the baffles (22) within the liner (28) and are sealed to it before the latter is affixed to the FIBC (10). In this manner, an FIBC (10) can be produced which has both baffles (22) giving it a square configuration and a liner (28) to prevent ingress of moisture and air. The liner taking (28) on the 'square' configuration imparts it to the FIBC (10) as a whole. The baffles (22) may protrude from the liner (28) and be attached to the FIBC walls (14), or they may be wholly within the liner (28). In either case, the liner will preferably be impervious to air and moisture and may be a polyolefin sheet material.

Abstract: A method is described for detecting erasures in a stream of sets of digital signal values received at a receiver side after transmission from a transmission side. Subsets of these sets are modulated on distinct carrier signals, each transmitted and received thus modulated carrier signal corresponding to one of a number of predetermined subset related points and to a receipt point on a carrier dependent modulation representing map respectively. The method includes the steps of:
     selecting for each receipt point the nearest of the predetermined subset related points;   calculating a distance between the receipt point and the nearest subset related point and multiplying this distance with a map dependent weight factor;   summing the thus obtained weighted distances for all subsets of a set; and   marking the latter set as an erasure when the thus obtained result exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Wall cladding comprising square and triangular individual elements. In relation to the fall line of the vertical or sloping wall, the square elements stand on their points, i.e. with their diagonals parallel to the edges of the wall delimited at right angles. All the elements are provided, on the edges parallel to the sides of the square, with folds which are folded over through 180@: towards the outside on the upwardly directed edges, and towards the wall on the downwardly directed edges. The first set of triangular elements, produced from the squares by a single division along the diagonal, serve to clad the edges, and the second set of triangles, produced by dividing squares along two diagonals, serve to clad the corners. The elements are fastened on the wall, at their upper, right-angled corners, by means of pins. The wall cladding is laid in a manner continuing from bottom to top. The elements of the next row above are pushed, by means of their folds which are folded inwards, into the outwardly directed folds of the lower row. The result is a continuous surface covering which protects the wall against downwardly running water. Since the folds may be very narrow (at least 2% of the side of a square), the result is a gap-free covering with a minimal requirement in terms of cladding elements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The active compound ursodeoxycholic acid has proven therapeutically effective inter alia for the treatment of cholestatic liver disorders in children. A problem in the administration of this active compound, a bile acid, to children is its extreme bitterness. A liquid dosage form for ursodeoxycholic acid which is acceptable as regards taste and has a sufficiently high active compound concentration is described. The liquid to be taken is a suspension prepared with addition of a swelling or thickening agent, which contains the active compound mainly in finely crystalline form as a disperse phase and only to a significantly lower amount dissolved in the aqueous dispersing agent. Residual bitterness which still remains can be additionally masked by addition of  beta -cyclodextrin, or suitable flavour correctants.
