Abstract: An adaptor arrangement for electronic test devices for printed circuit boards such as wiring carriers and the like, carrying an adaptor plate (8) in the form of a through-plated printed circuit board for compensating locally increased interconnection densities between the regular basic grid (3) of the test device and the variably arranged connection points (6) of the test specimen (4), and having resilient contact means for compensating possible vertical fluctuations in contact height at the test specimen. The novelty and inventiveness is to be seen in the fact that there is arranged on each contact surface (12, 13) on at least one side of the adaptor plate (8) at least one cushion-like plug (14, 15) in each case made of an electrically conductive, resilient elastomer, a plug of each contact surface being arranged electrically insulated with respect to the plug of each neighbouring contact surface. In another embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the adaptor plate (8), which is provided with metallic contact surfaces (12, 13) on both plate surfaces, is constructed as a thin, flexible foil, which because of its inherent flexibility is able to balance possible vertical fluctuations in contact height (vertical to the plane of the test specimen).

Abstract: Flyback converters should not be switched from the flyback phase to the forward phase until their transformer (9) is completely demagnetised. When this state occurs, the transformer voltages reverse their polarity so that the demagnetisation can be monitored using a zero-crossover detector (22). Because of the unavoidable "transformer ringing", parasitic zero-crossovers can also occur at the start of the flyback phase, which must be gated out. According to the invention, a gating time (T) which is independent of the load voltage is proposed for this purpose; when the load voltages (UL) are low, T is relatively long and, when the load voltage (UL) has reached its full value, it is relatively short or even zero. In this way, on the one hand, undesired changes in mathematical sign are reliably ignored and, on the other hand, demagnetisation-dependent zero-crossovers are reliably detected. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: The method according to the invention makes it possible rapidly to accelerate a test piece in a start-up phase in accordance with a stipulated acceleration program, and subsequently to maintain the test piece at constant acceleration during an arbitrary time. The testing device for carrying out the method consists of a rotor carrying the test piece. The rotor is accelerated by a pressure medium in its start-up phase and is driven in its stationary phase by an electromotor via a toothed belt. In the start-up phase, the test piece experiences a continuous rotation from the tangential direction of the circular path (K) into the radial direction by the angle of rotation  psi  of 90 DEG . A preferred use of the device resides in testing rocket nose cones. This replaces real launching and/or expensive linear accelerators.

Abstract: A coder for incorporating extra information in the form of an auxiliary signal in a digital audio signal having a predetermined format as well as a decoder for extracting this extra information from this digital signal, whilst the digital audio signal having the predetermined format is divided into frequency sub-bands, in which on the basis of psychoacoustic qualities of the human auditory system a relatively large amount of quantization noise is permissible, and the samples in each of these sub-bands are quantized relatively coarsely according to a preset criterion, whilst the quantized sub-band signals are summed with samples of the auxiliary signal, whose maximum amplitude is always smaller than a half quantization step of the relevant sample of the main signal; the summed sub-band signals are then reconstructed to a signal covering the entire frequency band, converted into a digital signal having the predetermined format and recorded or transmitted. In an unmodified receiver or reproducing device the original digital audio signal can be reproduced in a conventional way whereas the auxiliary signal remains masked. In a receiver or reproducing device comprising a decoder the signal is again divided into an equal number of frequency sub-hands in a way corresponding to that used in the coder and they are re-quantized according to the criterion applied in the coder. By subtracting per sub-band the quantized signal from the non-quantized signal, sub-bands of the auxiliary signal are formed, which are reconstructed into a replica of the complete original auxiliary signal. 
     The coder can be employed in a device for recording a digital signal on the record carrier. Thus, record carriers can be obtained which are provided with a copy inhibit code and which are thus protected against unauthorized copying. If a signal containing such a copy inhibit code is to be recorded again this inhibit code is detected and recording can be inhibited, the signal to be recorded can be distorted seriously and/or the presence of the copy inhibit code can be signalled.

Abstract: Mechanism and way of fur cutting in straps with different breadths in accordance with the lenght and the density of the hairs. 
     The machine simultaneously cuts, at one passage, furs in straps of different widths with the help of cutting disks (40) placed in groups at distances A, B, C, D on a rotating axis (39) started by an electromotor (33). 
     The density of the hairs of the fur at several points shows a several points a stable difference, in this way the width of the straps to be cut is determined (5). 
     The above-mentioned machine, by the distribution of its disks (40) in groups, forces the furs introduced at the upper side of the table, into a certain direction, to cut the straps in widths according to the distance of the disks (40). 
     An axis dressed with spongy rubber (26) and an axis (19) bearing needles (19), (22), the lenght of which changes according with the lenght of the hairs, moved by a handle arm and gearwheels (12) (17) push the fur forward into the cutting disks (40) placing one more axis parallel with and placed at an adjustable distance from the axis (26 scheme 1) allows us to cut in straps furs with thick hair, e.g. that of the fox. 
     The pressure of the axis (26) on the fur is regulated by screws (28) and springs (28) placed on the sliding bearings (27). 
     After being cut, the straps fall in a row on the card board (5) which is pushed forward on the upper part of the base (1) by   means of moving shrivelling thumb-wheels (6) of the axis (8) and by moving thumb-wheels of the base (7) (1). The axis moves the fur propelling axisses (19) (26), as well as these of the card board (8) are based on stable supporting plates (11), while the axis (39) of the cutting disks on movable supporting plates (40), the electromotor as well (31). 
     The cutting disks find themselves behind the protective cover (40), (44) which can be regulated, so that the disks can jut out a little more or less.
