Abstract: A reciprocating pump particularly useful in ventilator apparatus includes a piston reciprocatable axially within a cylinder and dividing its interior into an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber, a wall fixed within the inlet chamber, and a drive housing fixed to the wall. The drive housing includes a motor, a rotor rotatable by the motor, a nut rotatable within the drive housing, and a screw threadedly coupled at one end to the nut and fixed at its opposite end to the piston.

Abstract: The values characterising the bending behaviour are determined for several positions of the scanner in the measurement region of the machine. The components of these values independent of the scanning pin are determined, and are stored in the form of correction values. These correction values describe the flexible bending behaviour of the coordinate measuring unit, depending on the position of the measuring carriage, and at least the measuring force exerted on the workpiece. The correction values are taken account of in conjunction with the coordinate measurement at the workpiece with the measurement values of the coordinate measuring unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for initiating actuation and deactuation of a power take-off (PTO) drive (7) comprises electrical switch means (12), of which an operating member (27) has to be subjected first to one type of movement and then to a second type of movement, different from the first, in order to render the PTO drive (7) operative. In order to render the PTO drive (7) inoperative, the operating member (27) of the switch means (12) again has to be subjected first to said one type of movement and then to said second type of movement. For a fast deactuation of the PTO drive (7), which might be required in an emergency, it suffices however to actively perform only said first type of movement by striking said operating member (27).

Abstract: A recording apparatus including a magnetic write head and a write amplifier with capacitive current compensation. The write amplifier is made up of four current mirrors which are turned on two at a time by two switchable floating current sources connected between the input terminals of the current mirrors in order to produce a write current of alternating polarity through the write head. The parasitic capacitances across the write head and/or the parasitic capacitances of the write amplifier at the write terminals are neutralized by means of neutralizing capacitors. The high impedance at the terminals of the write head enables the common-mode voltage across the write head to be fixed at any desired voltage value by means of a common-mode circuit.

Abstract: Compensation for pixel aberrations in a laser printer is accomplished by selecting pixels (43) to be augmented, and providing additional optical energy to the selected pixels. In one embodiment, the pixels are selected by selecting pixels in combinations in which required pixel augmentation is indicated. The additional optical energy may be applied at the sub-pixel level so that a threshold of energy depletion on an optical photoreceptor (OPR) is not reached where image development would occur. The energy applied at the sub-pixel level results in enhancement of the selected pixels at an adjacent pixel location.

Abstract: In the process of press molding an optical element having an optical functioning face having a grating which is rotationally asymmetric, both ends of an molding face (81) of an lower press die (80) are cut off to form inclined faces (83). During a press molding, glass material (90) filled in the cuttings presses the inclined faces (83) so that the rotation of a lower press die (80) in an barrel die (60) around an axis (61) is prevented. In addition, the part filled in the cuttings is used as the reference point to mount on an optical apparatus. As a result, the rotation of the press dies is prevented, and the displacement of the rotationally asymmetric optical functioning face is avoided. Therefore, the direction for mounting the optical element on an optical apparatus can be easily decided.
