Patent EP-0304299-A3 (EP)
Title: An optical disc drive
IPC: G11B7/085
Filed: 1988-08-18
Abstract: An optical disc drive that employs a velocity feedback loop for detecting the moving velocity (SV20) of an optical pickup, thereby to enable the optical pickup to seek a target recording track of an optical disc. The number of tracks (DT) to the target recording track is calculated on the basis of a signal derived from the optical pickup and a target velocity signal is supplied to the velocity feedback loop in accordance with the calculated result, whereby the moving velocity of the optical pickup can be controlled to become [0] at a timing (time point) at which the optical pickup reaches the target recording track.

Abstract: Faltordner für blatt- oder kartenförmiges Material, 
beispielsweise für Photoabzüge une Negative.  
     Die üblicherweise verwendeten Papierhüllen schützen 
Negativstreifen und Photoabzüge zwar vor Verschmutzung, 
nicht aber vor mechanischen Beschädigungen wie Verbiegen 
oder Verknicken. Es soll ein Faltordner geschaffen 
werden, der diese Nachteile vermeidet.  
     Der neue Faltordner besteht aus einem dreidimensionalen 
kastenförmigen Fach, das aus einer Frontwand (1), zwei 
Seitenwänden (2,3), einer Rückwand (5) und einem 
Verschlußboden (4) gebildet wird.  
     An der Oberkante der Rückwand ist eine zweiteilige oder 
vierteilige Klappe angebracht, mit der die Öffnung des 
Faches verschließbar ist.  
     In der Frontwand kann eine Lasche (8) eingeklappt 
werden, so daß sie eine Art Riegel für die Photoabzüge 
bildet.  
     Der Faltordner kann im Bereich der Amateurphotografie 
eingesetzt werden.

Title: Stop and regulating valve
IPC: F16K3/08
Filed: 1989-08-08
Abstract: In a stop and regulating valve with a housing which has at least one axial inlet port and one radial outlet port and can be inserted into fittings and in which is non-rotatably mounted transversely relative to the longitudinal axis a valve-seat disc against which a valve-regulating disc rotatable by means of a valve spindle bears on the upstream side, the valve-regulating disc being tautened against the valve-seat disc by means of a spring, the two valve discs being insertable into the housing from an upstream inlet port, and a sealing element being provided between the inflow channel of the fitting and the housing, for improvement and simplification it is proposed that the housing should have, in the bottom of the inlet port, at least one outer supporting shoulder in the region of the housing wall and an inner supporting shoulder in the region of the passage orifice of the valve spindle and that the spring be connected to the valve-regulating disc and the housing via the valve spindle.

IPC: G01L5/13
Filed: 1989-12-15
Abstract: A force transducer for measuring tension and compression forces, having an essentially hollow bending body (39) which can be subjected to bending stress, the first end area of which can be fixed and into the second, free end area of which the force to be measured can be introduced at right angles to the longitudinal axis (40) of the bending body (39), and a measuring rod (76) which is rigidly connected to the bending body (39) in its second end area, extends freely into the interior of the bending body and carries at its free end at least one transmitter element (98) which faces at least one receiver element arranged in a fixed position, is to be constructed in such a way that as high a measuring sensitivity as possible appears. This is achieved by the bending body (39) having a relatively low bending resistance in the area in which the force is introduced, and by the bending resistance increasing towards the side of the fixed area. If the measuring sensitivity is only to be high for forces which lie in a preferred plane, the bending body (39) has a preferred direction with relatively low bending resistance. This directional selectivity can be further increased by a preferred arrangement of a magnet as transmitter element and a Hall sensor as receiver element.

Patent EP-0381471-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 1990-01-31
Abstract: To increase the performance of a pipelined processor 
executing various classes of instructions, the classes of 
instructions are executed by respective functional units(164-167) 
which are independently controlled and operated in 
parallel. The classes of instructions include integer 
instructions (164) floating point instructions (165), multiply 
instructions (166), and divide instructions (161). The integer unit, 
which also performs shift operations, is controlled by 
the microcode execution unit (26) to handle the wide variety 
of integer and shift operations included in a complex, 
variable-length instruction set. The other functional 
units need only accept a control command to initiate the 
operation to be performed by the functional unit. The 
retiring of the results of the instructions need not be 
controlled by the microcode execution unit, but instead 
is delegated to a separate retire unit (173) that services a 
result queue (172). When the microcode execution unit 
determines that a new operation is required, an entry is 
inserted into the result queue. The entry includes all 
the information needed by the retire unit to retire the 
result once the result is available from the respective 
functional unit. The retire unit services the result 
queue by reading a tag in the entry at the head of the 
queue to determine the functional unit that is to provide 
the result. Once the result is available and the 
destination specified by the entry is also available, the 
result is retired in accordance with the entry, and the 
entry is removed from the queue.

Title: Spot-defined exposure system for a laser printer
IPC: H04N1/113
Filed: 1991-09-13
Abstract: An exposure system for electrophotographic apparatus having an aperture plate for masking one or more laser beams. The plate (30) contains one or more apertures (52, 54, 56) which have irregular edges to form a gaussian light distribution for the light beams passing through the apertures. A saw-toothed edge is used with a predetermined amplitude ratio to predictably attenuate the light at the edges which correspond to the process or in-track direction in the exposed image. The gaussian distribution is more tolerable of spacing changes in scan lines and improves the continuity of process direction lines in the finished image. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for reducing germination in a semi-prepared product containing flour
IPC: A21D4/00
Filed: 1991-11-18
Abstract: Semi-prepared products containing flour have hitherto been made stable by deep freezing. A new process of bacterial reduction is to be developed which enables these products to be put into interim storage with normal cooling without significantly changing them. A suspension is prepared from flour and a liquid, such as water, eggs and/or milk, which is treated for 5 to 240 minutes with a gas to which it is inert such as carbon dioxide at a pressure between 2 and 100 bar. In this way, all bacteria are significantly reduced, so that instead of deep-freezing, storage in a refrigerator until the finishing processing of the semi-prepared product is adequate. The process is suitable for all mixtures containing flour and a liquid, and leads to no contamination of the semi-prepared product.

Title: Semiconductor capacitor circuit
IPC: G11C27/00
Filed: 1991-03-27
Abstract: This invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuits concerned with the realisation of different value capacitive components of a semiconductor chip by means of programming control arrangements. Programmable (IC) capacitors are implemented using a capacitive multiplier technique. Programmable capacitors comprise essentially three elements, a capacitor (C1) and one or two capacitor multipliers (M1 and M2). Capacitor (C1) is connected to the output of a first buffer circuit (B1) while programmable resistors (RP1 and RP2) are connected in series between the input and output of the buffer (B1), an output being taken from the junction between the first and second programmable resistors. By this arrangement of components, the ratio of the set values of the two programmable resistors (RP2 and RP1) determines the amount by which the capacitor (C1) value is multiplied. An overall effective capacitance value equal to (RP2/RP1) x C1 may be achieved. The final effective capacitance with two multipliers (M1, M2) approximates to (RP2/RP1) x (RP4/RP3) x C1. The value of programmable resistor RP1 is adjusted in accordance with an analogue reference signal (CCV) produced by a compensating circuit (Fig 2) to compensate for the manufacturing/processing variations of capacitor C1. <IMAGE>
