Abstract: A drive mechanism for a circuit breaker or power switch made up of at least one switching unit (1). The drive mechanism comprises a tensioning mechanism (15) in the form of a transition point or toggle mechanism which can act upon the switching unit (1), with actuating means (19) for tensioning the tensioning mechanism (15), drive means (7, 20) for driving the switching unit (1) under the influence of the energy stored in the tensioning mechanism (15), and means (8) for resetting the switching unit (1) from the driven state. A coupling mechanism (28; 55) in the form of a movement-direction-dependent carrier mechanism is provided. By means of this coupling mechanism (28; 55) the tensioning mechanism (15) is brought in its tensioned state into engagement with the drive means (7, 20), for driving the switching unit (1), and in the driven state of the switching unit (1) the engagement of the tensioning mechanism (15) and the drive means (7, 20) is released, for resetting the switching unit (1) without operation of the actuating means (19), and the tensioning mechanism (15) and the drive means (7, 20) act upon each other only in the direction of movement opposite to the tensioning direction. In order to improve the "hammer" effect during separation of the contacts of the switching unit (1), the drive means (7, 20) are made mechanically more rigid near the action point with the switching unit (1) through a selective mass increase (45).

Abstract: A glazing article comprises a substrate (12) bearing a substantially transparent coating (14) comprising an optically functional topcoat (18) and a thinner anti-iridescence layer undercoat (20) mediate the topcoat and the substrate. The anti-iridescence layer (20) eliminates or substantially reduces iridescence and, in addition, is readily designed to make the overall coating either colourless or to provide a substantially uniform muted colour. The anti-iridescence layer comprises a first thickness zone (22) in which the refractive index is higher than that of the substrate (12). A low refractive index zone (24) is positioned directly on the high refractive index zone (22). A second high refractive index zone (26) is positioned on the low refractive index zone (26) , such that the low refractive index zone is directly sandwiched between the two high refractive index zones. A fourth zone, a low refractive index zone (28) , follows the second high refractive index zone (26). Anti-iridescence is provided for a wide variety of optically functional topcoats without significant impairment of the optical performance thereof. Certain preferred embodiments are particularly well adapted for low emissivity glazing for architectural applications.

Abstract: Electro-optic semiconductor devices that comprise two strongly coupled quantum wells (202, 204) of unequal thickness are disclosed asymmetric coupled quantum wells. Typically devices according to the invention comprise a multiplicity of such strongly coupled wells, a given pair of coupled wells separated from the adjacent pairs by means of relatively thick barrier layers (e.g., 201, 205). Associated with a coupled pair are first and second energy levels (22, 23) of energy E₁ and E₂ respectively, and optionally, a third energy level of (24) energy E₃, with the quantum well thicknesses selected such that E₁ < E₂ < E₃. Application of pump radiation of frequency ν to such a device (71) can result in relatively efficient generation of second harmonic radiation if the layer thicknesses are selected such that for some appropriate bias voltage across the layer structure the condition hν = E₂ - E₁ = E₃ - E₂ is substantially satisfied. In a further embodiment (61) a three-level device according to the invention can serve as an all-optical modulator. A device according to the invention that requires only first and second energy levels can serve as a fast modulator/switch of radiation of frequency ν, with the device being switched into and out of the condition ΔE₁₂ = hν by means of a bias voltage. In a further embodiment, devices according to the invention can serve as optical logic gates.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the readout rate of information from a sequential storage medium (104), such as a CD-ROM, to maintain synchronism between the device containing the medium and an independent receiver receiving the information. Information is loaded from the media (104) into a buffer (116) at a rate controlled by pulses from a device clock (124). Information is unloaded from the buffer (116) for utilization by the receiver independently of the loading of the buffer. The amount of free space available in the buffer is measured as information is loaded into the buffer. The rate of the clock (122) is dynamically adjusted in response to the amount of free buffer space to maintain the full state of the buffer within predetermined limits. In this manner, the buffer never empties or fills in response to the unloading by the independent receiver.

Abstract: A device which is used as connection between a flexible pipeline (1), laid under plaster, and a fitting arranged over plaster comprises a socket (4, 5a, 5b, 6) and an angled pipe piece (3) which can be inserted into the socket (4, 5a, 5b, 6) and can be fixed therein. The socket (4, 5a, 5b, 6) is designed such that the angled pipe piece (3) can be connected to the pipeline (1) by two different methods. In the first mounting method, the inner pipe (1) is bent out of the wall, the angled pipe piece (3) is fastened thereon and the entire assembly is then inserted into the socket (4). In the second method, the pipeline (1) is connected to the angled pipe piece (3) which has been inserted into the socket heat (4) and fastened there. The socket neck comprises two half-shells (5a, 5b) which include both the clamping-ring closure (10), projecting downwards out of the socket head (4), and a portion of the pipeline (1). The socket neck (5a, 5b) fixedly clamps the outer pipe (1) and thus prevents the latter from slipping out. <IMAGE>

Title: Bicycle gear shifting method and apparatus.
Inventor: PATTERSON SAM H
IPC: F16H9/00
Filed: 1992-03-18
Abstract: A bicycle gear shifting system having rotatable front and rear handgrip shift actuators (408,408h,408c,410) operatively associated with control cables (415,417) for shifting respective front and rear derailleur mechanisms. A shifter rotator (412,412b,412c,413) drives a separate "jack spool" (436,436a,436b,436c) which in turn actuates the control cable (415,417). A cam on the jack spool (436,436a,436b,436c) is configured so as to substantially compensate for increasing force of the derailleur return spring during down-shifting. Compensation is provided in the shift actuator for various lost motions in the derailleur shifting mechanisms and control cable systems. The shift actuator (408,408b,408c,410) also provides overshift movement of the derailleur mechanisms in the down-shifting direction so as to overshift the bicycle chain a sufficient amount beyond the destination derailleur sprocket so that the chain will approach the destination sprocket in the same direction as it would in the up-shifting direction. The shift actuator (408,408b,408c,410) also provides equalization for the higher derailleur return spring force during down-shifting than during up-shifting, and allow fine-tuning to avoid chain rasp, which is particularly important for "cross-over" riding.
