Abstract: The invention relates to a time switch (1) with at least one first and one second elastic spring element (22, 23) that are both provided with at least one switch contact (24, 25). The time switch further comprises a rotation-driven drum controller (3) that is provided with a plurality of adjustable switch elements (11, 12) which displace a switch lever (13) from an inactive initial position to a switching position, thereby triggering a switch operation of the spring elements (22, 23) with their switch contacts (24, 25). When the drum controller (3) continues to rotate, the switch lever (13) abruptly falls back into its initial position, thereby abruptly disrupting the switch contacts (24, 25). In order to effect an abrupt closure of the switch contacts (24, 25), a locking lever (35) is provided between the spring elements (22, 23) which, in a first switch phase and under the effect of a pre-stress, maintains the two spring elements (22, 23) at a certain distance to the switch contacts (24, 25) and which, during a second switch phase, abruptly releases the second spring element (23) so that it can abruptly close the switch contacts (24, 25).

Abstract: Interactive content preservation and customization technology is placed at the broadcast facility to ensure reliable transmission of the interactive content to a local subsystem. An interactive content code detector detects interactive content codes in the video stream at the broadcast facility. The interactive content code detector is placed in the transmission path before the video stream is transmitted to broadcast facility hardware that may strip out, destroy, corrupt or otherwise modify the interactive content and interactive content codes. Once an interactive content code detector detects a code, an interactive broadcast server determines what action to take, and instructs an data insertion unit accordingly. The interactive content codes or interactive content may be placed in a portion of the video that is guaranteed by the broadcast facility to be transmitted, for example, the closed caption region of the vertical blanking interval.

Abstract: The composition of moisturized fuel gas exiting a fuel gas saturator is controlled using feed forward control. The level of the water is manipulated by adjusting the valve that controls the make-up water. The level controller uses the moisture content of moisturized fuel gas, the flow rate of the dry fuel gas entering the fuel gas saturator, the level of the water at the bottom of the fuel gas saturator and the flow rate of the make-up water to control the valve. Moisture content of the moisturized fuel gas and the flow rate of the dry gas entering the fuel gas saturator are used to calculate the flow rate of water leaving with the moisturized fuel gas. Error is minimized in determination of the flow rate of water leaving with the moisturized fuel gas, thereby allowing tighter control over the process unit.
