Title: Camera flash photographing control device
Inventor: KUROKI YOSHIFUMI
IPC: G03B15/05
Filed: 1983-02-08
Abstract: A camera flash photographing control device has a signal conversion element which generates a step wave voltage for which a signal level is gradually varied as time passes, by the operation of a counter which receives a pulse signal. The signal conversion element is operated as an A-D converter in which the digital signal output which corresponds to a required signal level is obtained by converting both analogue signals of luminance information of an object and iris information of a photographing lens into said required signal level at the time of light measurement before shutter release. The signal conversion element is also operated as a digital-analogue converter in which the analogue signal output which corresponds to a pulse signal is obtained by converting the digital signal input of film sensitivity information into a required pulse signal at the time of shutter control after shutter release. The Digital signal output from the signal conversion element is stored in a memory as camera photographing information at the time of shutter control and the analogue signal output from the signal conversion element is sent as information on the degree of flash light emission at the time of shutter control.

Title: An oven
Inventor: VESTERGAARD ALEX DAM
IPC: F24C15/32
Filed: 1983-02-17
Abstract: An airtight oven comprises at least two doors opening into an impure and sterile chamber respectively and a removable filter arrangement (1), through which the air inside the oven may circulate in a closed circuit by means of a circulator (2), said closed circuit optionally including means (3) for adjusting the temperature of the air. The filter arrangement (1) comprises a frame loosely secured to a resilient airtight trumpet- or tube-like suspension arrangement (5). This suspension arrangement is in turn secured to the rim (8) of a channel permitting passage of the circulating air, whereby the major portion of said rim may be formed by the oven shell (7). In this manner the frame of the filter may operate and expand relative to the oven shell (7) without causing the channel to leak. A shaft seal comprising a chamber supplied with filtered air furthermore implies that the driving motor of the circulator may be situated outside the oven without permitting polluted air to penetrate at the inlet opening of the rotating shaft. <IMAGE>

Title: Seat belt tension relief arrangements
Inventor: ANDERSON ALEXANDER BARRIE
IPC: B60R22/48
Filed: 1983-11-30
Abstract: A vehicle seat belt system, in which the belt is withdrawn for use from a retractor against a spring bias, includes means for rendering the spring bias at least partially ineffective when a switch associated with a belt buckle is closed to indicate that the belt is in use.
