Abstract: A method and apparatus are used for converting a stream of incoming serial video data which is received frame by frame and is formatted with all data bits arriving together for each pixel into digital PWM video formatted as a sequence of like-weighted bits. Incoming video data is temporarily stored in a digital memory. A controller organized the data in the memory into a plurality of buffers, each buffer having only bits of like weight. The data is collected as groups within the buffers. The data is then coupled to a display device as the groups of like-weighted bits after a predetermined fraction of a frame time for producing the desired PWM signal. Since each bit of the incoming video data is stored for a fraction of a frame time, the present invention facilitates decimation of the total amount of buffer memory, compared to that of the prior art. A method of and apparatus are used for converting a stream of incoming serial PWM video data which is received frame by frame and is organized with all data for a single pixel transmitted concurrently into digital PWM video organized into groups of like-weighted bits. Once the stream of incoming serial PWM video data is received it is stored in a digital memory. A controller organized the data in the memory into a plurality of bit planes, each bit plane having only bits of like weight. The data is collected as groups within the bit planes. The data is coupled to a display device as groups of like-weighted bits. As groups of the shortest duration bit weight are formed, they are coupled to the display. This allows less than an entire frame of data to be stored.

Abstract: This invention concerns a barrier drive shaft which is modularly constructed so that different modules can be added to a basic common module to flexibly create different drives to meet specific requirements of different functions. The barrier drive shaft consists of a motor-driven rotary spindle (1) along the axis (A) of which a driving element (5) is guided, which is operatively connected to a lever (10A; 10B; 10C). Said lever is offset to the axis and has a rotationally rigid connection to a barrier drive shaft (9) by means of a guide slot (12A; 12B; 12C). The slot relative to the center axis (B) of lever (10A) runs outwardly in an arc or runs parallel to the center axis (B) of lever (10B) or runs in several curves relative to the center axis (B) of lever (10C). The design of the guide slot (12A; 12B; 12C) is done according to the manner of operation chosen.

Abstract: The arrangement for the supervision of electric arrangements filled with oil includes a semi-permissible membrane which separates a gas reception volume (13 to 18) from the oil. The gas reception volume is provided for the enrichment of gases solved in the oil. Each gas reception volume is connected to a conductor (25) over a respective switching valve (19 to 24). The conductor is connected at one end with a carrier gas source (27) and at the other end with a gas analysis arrangement (28). The switching valve leads the carrier gas in a first switching position through the gas reception volume, and in a second switching position around the gas reception volume. All gas reception volumes are connected over their switching valves to the common conductor, and a control arrangement (29) provides a switching instruction to switch the valves cyclically.

The cap comprises a closure ring (3) having an annular body (15) and screw threads (13) or bayonet lugs for detachably mounting the periphery of the annular body around the open end of the filler neck, and a closure flap assembly (5) formed from a circular member (33) with a nozzle receiving opening (34), a closure flap spring (61) biased over the opening, and a pivotal mounting (53) connecting the flap over the opening. The closure flap assembly includes a locking ratchet mechanism (21) for securing the circular member over the closure ring in a selected angular position such that the pivotal mounting is substantially 180 DEG  opposite from the pivotal connection of the restrictive flap within a filler neck of a vehicle to allow a fuel nozzle from an automatic gas filling machine to be smoothly inserted into and withdrawn from the self-closing cap. The cap has a cover (7) that snap-fits over the closure flap assembly. The top wall (81) of the cover serves as an inclined guide face for guiding the nozzle of an automatic gas filling machine into the opening of the closure flap assembly. An overpressure valve assembly (101) is incorporated into the circular member (33) for releasing vapor and gases from the vehicle fuel tank when the pressure in the tank approaches a tank-rupturing level. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Whenever operating tasks by means of which control functions are implemented, for example, are no longer called by a central task, that is to say the scheduler of a real-time operating system, for example, but instead are called by the respective user-adaptable tasks in which the measured values supplied by the operating tasks are processed, the software producer is relieved of complex organizational work during the production of software. Since the sampling time of, for example, a control algorithm is no longer constant for the resultant calls (which are not equidistant) to the operating tasks, the currently valid sampling time has to be transferred as a parameter to the respective algorithms of the operating tasks. However, the sampling time can be determined in a particularly simple manner if the operating tasks determine a time value with each call and themselves determine the sampling time from the difference between the current and the preceding time value. In turn, it is possible to determine a time value in a particularly simple manner if a time index register is polled for this purpose and is incremented with each call by a time index task which is called periodically by the central task.

Abstract: Disclosed is laser beam scanning apparatus in the form of an electronically-controlled mechanically-damped off-resonant laser beam scanning mechanism. The scanning mechanism comprises an etched scanning element having a small flexible gap region of closely-controlled dimensions disposed between an anchored base portion and a laser beam deflecting portion The light beam deflecting portion supports a permanent magnet and a light beam deflecting element (e.g., mirror or hologram). A reversible magnetic force field producing device (e.g., an electromagnet) is placed in close proximity with the permanent magnet so that it may be forcibly driven into oscillation in response to electrical current flowing through the electromagnet. The resonant frequency of oscillation of the laser beam deflecting portion relative to the anchored base portion is determined by the closely controlled dimensions of the flexible gap region set during manufacture. The steady-state frequency of oscillation of the laser beam deflecting portion is determined by the frequency of polarity reversal of the electromagnet, which is electronically controlled by the polarity of electrical current supplied thereto.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'exploitation d'une installation de refoulement de boues en nappe pour extraire des impuretés sous forme particulaire d'eau brute à traiter, avec plusieurs cuves de réacteur (10) présentant dans la zone de base inférieure, une arrivée d'eau brute (1) et dans la zone supérieure, une évacuation d'eau claire (4) par laquelle l'eau claire débarrassée des impuretés s'écoule hors des cuves de réacteur (10), ainsi qu'avec des compartiments d'extraction de boues (8) disposés entre ou à côté des cuves de réacteur (10) et qui se trouvent en communication hydraulique avec elles. Les impuretés extraites de l'eau brute sont évacuées hors de ces compartiments sous forme de boues. Ce procédé se caractérise en ce qu'au même moment, dans chaque cas, des boues sont extraites uniquement d'une quantité partielle des compartiments d'extraction (8) de l'installation de refoulement de boues en nappe et que pendant l'extraction des boues, les arrivées d'eau brute (1) des cuves de réacteur (10) en communication hydraulique directe avec les compartiments d'extraction de boues (8) correspondants sont obturées à l'aide de dispositifs à tiroirs et sont ensuite libérées après évacuation des boues.
