Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring distances, based on the phase measurement of an optical measuring beam that is reflected or scattered by an object, on which the beam is sighted. According to said method, the measurement object is exposed to an optical measuring beam of modulated intensity emitted by a measuring device and is converted into electrical measurement signals. The signals are then compared with a reference signal that is generated from the detection and conversion of a portion of measuring light that has been guided on a known reference trajectory, in order to determine the distance between the measuring device and the measurement objet, based on the phase difference that has been determined. The emitted measuring beam is modulated in bursts and the measurement signal of the receiver is only evaluated during the active burst period. The invention also relates to devices for carrying out said method.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of aromatic aldehydes containing fluorine, and more particularly, to a formylation process for fluorinated aromatic derivatives through the reaction of fluorinated benzenes with carbon monoxide and aluminum chloride at a relatively low pressure, a low temperature, and in the presence of at most a catalytic amount of an acid (such as aqueous hydrochloric acid) is herein disclosed. The resultant fluorinated benzaldehydes are useful as precursors to the formation of a number of different compounds, such as dyestuffs, flavorings, fragrances, herbicidal compounds, nucleating agents, polymer additives, and the like. The inventive method provides a very cost effective and safe procedure for producing such fluorinated benzaldehydes in very high yields.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for calibrating a rechargeable battery for mobile telephones and other electronic devices. Calibration is accomplished during a process of completely charging the battery by determining the total amount of charge accepted by the battery during the charging process, and providing a value of total charge capacity of the battery based, at least in part, on the total amount of charge accepted by the battery. The total charge capacity of the battery is used to calculate remaining battery capacity and to predict the remaining operational time of the device. Alternative calibration procedures are provided if the battery is not completely discharged before charging or if the battery is not fully charged by the charging process. The calibration procedures of the invention require no interaction from a user (other than his initiating the normal charging process), and typically permits a calibration to be carried out notwithstanding varying usage habits of different users.

Abstract: A spring-driven pusher device (10) for a forward, side, top, or up feeding merchandise dispenser having an adjustment mechanism for setting a desired pushing force. The adjustment mechanism is utilized to increase and/or reduce the tension of the windings of the coiled end of a spring or strip (20) of coiled metal carried on the pusher device. The tension in the windings is increased if greater pushing force is desired, or decreased, if less pushing force is desired. Since the desired pushing force can be set, the same spring-driven pusher device can be utilized to feed various different products, regardless of size, shape, weight or surface texture. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tamper evident closure ( 1 ) includes a housing ( 5 ) containing a blister pack ( 2 ) and a substrate ( 3 ), wherein the blister pack ( 2 ) contains a first reagent which is visible prior to first opening and the substrate ( 3 ) contains a second reagent. First opening of the closure ruptures the blister pack thereby exposing the first reagent to the second reagent and effecting a reaction that causes a visual change that signals the closure has been opened. The tamper evident closure of the present invention is primarily intended to be used as an anti-counterfeit measure on a spirit or pharmaceutical bottle. In the preferred embodiment, the closure incorporates a liquid that when brought into contact with a reagent chemical contained in an absorbent pad, effects an irreversible color change. This color change will indicate to a consumer the bottle has been previously opened or tampered with. The design makes it very difficult for a counterfeiter to cover up or eradicate the visible effects. In particular, the only way a counterfeiter could do this would be to put in a replacement blister and an absorbent pad. Filling a blister pack with a liquid is a highly specialist task which makes replication very difficult. The ability to control the color change to complement the branded goods provides a way of building up consumer recognition of the product and thereby establishing confidence in those products that carry the tamper evident closure of the present invention.

Abstract: A tool for the removal of paint and putty includes a semi-circular assembly housing including a semi-circular rigid collar. The tool also includes a disk-like abrading assembly rotatably and co-axially mounted within the semi-circular collar of the housing, the assembly including rigidly disposed abrading elements projecting both axially and radially, the assembly defining a plane of rotation. The tool further includes a motor for high speed rotation of the assembly, the motor located externally of the housing. The tool also includes bearings for establishing a fixed axial cutting depth relative to a primary work surface positioned thereagainst, in which the bearings function as a buffer between the abrading assembly and the work surface to thereby improve control and mobility of the assembly relative to the primary work surface. A platform is disposed between the assembly housing and the motor, in which the platform is preferably co-planer with the plane of rotation of the abrading assembly. The platform is rigidly secured to the motor. The tool yet further includes an element for tilting the assembly housing relative to the platform to expose a greater area of the abrading assembly to increase depth of cutting in an axial direction upon the primary work surface at that side of the abrading assembly which is tilted.
