Abstract: A device for signalling the open position and closed position of shuttable elements, especially windows and doors, is described, having a plurality of electromagnetic switches, which are arranged on one of the elements in an electrical signalling line, and of which at least one is activated in the event of closed elements by the magnetic field of a magnet arranged on the other element, so as to signal the closed position. In order to increase the security against sabotage, provision is made of an electrical series circuit of the electromagnetic switches, of which at least one is a make contact, and at least one further switch is a break contact. Furthermore, the electromagnetic switches are arranged in space such that the magnetic field which activates the switches by definition in the closed state acts exclusively on the make contact. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A controllable amplifier, which has two symmetrical outputs, at which two output signals mirror-symmetrical with respect to each other are present, is used for amplification of a burst signal. To achieve the largest possible eye opening of the signals to be fed to a comparator, a predetermined d.c. voltage difference for the formation of matched signals is adjusted for both output signals. After this, the arithmetic mean values of the two matched signals are formed and are fed to a second comparator. The output value of the second comparator is fed to an integrator, to which a reference voltage is also fed. In case of a deviation of the mean values of the two matched signals from each other, the amplifier is adjusted in a compensating direction by the integrator.

Abstract: An adjustable dose dispenser having a measuring chamber of constant cross-section defined in a housing wherein an end of the chamber is selectively placed in communication with a reservoir containing flowable material to fill the chamber and with a passage to discharge material from the dispenser, and including a piston movably mounted in the housing and having an end face located in the measuring chamber so as to define the measuring volume between the piston end face and the end of the chamber. A manually operable drive mechanism is movably carried by the housing and has formations thereon operatively engaging formations on the piston so that upon movement of the drive mechanism the piston end face is moved along the measuring chamber to vary the volume thereof and so that dimensional control of the volume of the measuring chamber is determined by tolerance associated with misalignment of the formations on the piston and drive mechanism. The formations preferably are fine pitch gear teeth, and the piston and drive mechanism are installed in the dispenser in a manner such that the total tolerance associated with the volume of the measuring chamber is defined as the circular pitch of the gear tooth, i.e., the maximum misalignment between the gear teeth on the piston and on the drive mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engine brake for air compressing engines. To increase the braking power, the exhaust valve (1) is raised slightly even during the compression stroke, allowing additional braking work to be performed by the piston by virtue of the restricting effect of the exhaust valve. A hydraulic linkage (4) is inserted between the cam (2) and the exhaust valve (1) for the purpose of raising the exhaust valve. According to the invention, this linkage is activated in the braking mode by the closure, during the compression stroke, of a solenoid valve (12) connected in parallel with the linkage. The solenoid valve is controlled via sensors (20, 21) with the interposition of a control unit (19), the sensors interacting with the flywheel (23). By means of the closed position of the solenoid valve in braking mode, the exhaust valve can be raised by a second lobe of the cam in the compression stroke as well. By virtue of this measure, braking work is performed not only during the exhaust stroke but also during the compression stroke.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a tunnel cathode, which consists of a basic metal, an insulating layer and a metallic covering layer. If an electrical potential is applied to these, an electron emission occurs if the insulating layer and covering layer are suitably thin. In this case, the difficulty is that the insulating layer is severely stressed by the necessary high field intensity. This stress is considerably reduced according to the invention in that the diode current flowing between the basic metal and the covering layer is converted into brief pulses by means of an interrupter or an electronic chopper. The Al - Al2O3 design used in tunnel cathodes has disadvantages to the extent that the Al2O3 represents a  gamma -modification, which is hygroscopic and is sensitive to acid. For this reason, the invention also specifies the conversion of the  gamma -modification into the  alpha -modification, which does not have these disadvantages.

Abstract: A first reactant is immobilized i.e. in a porous matrix (50), adjacent a sample electrode (46) within a reaction chamber. Energizing of the electrode (46) electrophoretically attracts a mobile second reactant and/or electrolytically induces appropriate reaction conditions to enhance reaction of the first and second reactants. Polarity reversals between the sample electrode (46) and remote electrodes (38), (42), (44) cause unreacted second reactant and/or by-products to migrate away from the immobilized first reactant. The techniques are useful for sequential chemical reactions such as sequencing or construction of proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids where cyclical additions and removals of reactants are required. The techniques are amenable to automated micro and nano scale construction and operation and allow direct electrophoretic (38) interfacing with chromatographic, HPCE and mass spectrophotometric equipment.

Abstract: The image data (BDAT) on a document are transmitted to one of several recognition units for the processing by a recognition process consisting of several partial processes. The processing commands are allocated and the time cycle of the recognition processes are monitored via a control unit (AU) by which a timer is tripped to set the processing time of the recognition process in a recognition unit (e.g. RUn), the value of which is compared with an expected value for the processing time of the partial process currently running. The partial process results from the processing status of the recognition unit determined by status information and callable at any time. If the status of the recognition unit is such that, on the basis of the time comparison, no potentially successful cycle of the entire recognition process can be expected, this process can be prematurely terminated by the control unit (AU) so as to be available for accepting fresh document data, especially when all available recognition units are already busy with recognition tasks.
