Abstract: A liquid crystal display ("LCD") projection unit (12) employs a luminance and color balance system having a lookup table (100) storing multiple sets of gain and/or gamma corrected responses (92-99) for color balance and luminance control. The lookup table values are determined by measuring an S-curve response (90) of an LCD array (40) for each of a set of R, G, and B input data values, converting the S-curve responses to a corresponding set of gamma responses, and scaling the gamma responses to generate red ("R"), green ("G"), and blue ("B") families of gain and gamma corrected values. Color balance is adjusted by selecting the particular R, G, and B families of gain and gamma corrected values that cause the LCD projection unit to match a predetermined ratio of maximum R, G, and B luminance values. Luminance is adjusted by selecting families of lookup table values that adjust the transmittance of the LCD while maintaining the color balance. The LCD projection unit achieves a uniform luminance and color balance that renders it suitable for use in a multiscreen display system (10).

Abstract: A sputtering installation has two longitudinally extended magnetrons disposed next to one another and each has a target on an upper side thereof. Increasing utilization of the targets in the sputtering installation is accomplished by homogenizing the discharge resistance of the magnetrons along the directrix such that a partial discharge resistance of a target point on the directrix has the same magnitude as the partial discharge resistance of a different target point on the directrix.

Abstract: A top piece (4) for a manhole structure (1) for, for example, a sewer system comprises an access part (6) and a cone (5) which connects to the access part (6) and can be placed on a manhole structure shaft (3) with a peripheral edge (17) on the side of the cone (5) situated opposite the access part (6). The cone (5) has a substantially outward curved basic shape. In the region of the transition (21) from the access part (6) to the cone (5) a reinforcement rib (22), which is substantially parallel to the plane in which the peripheral edge (17) is situated, is provided on the outer surface of the cone (5), extending over the entire periphery of the cone (5). This gives the cone (5) greater resistance to pressure forces in the region of the transistion (21) to the access part (6).

Abstract: Bicycle and the like with multiple gears (14), chain transmission (6) and axis of the cranks (16) of the pedal unit (1) placed on the outside of the rear wheel, inside the upper arc bounded by A and B symbols, new pedalling system optimising the relationship between the means of transport and its user. The cyclist's position is prone (fig.1), a condition possible thanks to the body supporting "balancer" (8, 9) (fig.4); it allows an optimal weight distribution and cardio-vascular, respiratory and muscular optimisation, which leads to a maximum energy output. The advantageous aspects are: maximum aerodynamic penetration due to the driver's prone position; maximum exploitation of muscular output due to the antigravitational rotation of thighs; better venous and lymphatic circulation thanks to lower abdominal pressure; better cardio-respiratory function, due to easier venous circulation; maximum protection of the spine by supporting the rachis; minimum perineum shock thanks to the saddle (11) supporting the gluteus; maximum stability of the vehicle thanks to ground-hub pedal block-system; reduced weight of the rotating parts thanks to the compactness of the mechanism of transmission.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the invention utilize the fact that CDs manufactured from the same master will have distinctive physical characteristics attributable to the physical manufacturing process of the master to distinguish counterfeit CDs from genuine discs. For a genuine disc (4), the relative angular orientation of specified sections (1, 2, 3) of the recorded data are determined and recorded. The relative angular orientation of the same sections (1, 2, 3) of data on a test disc (5) are also determined. Where the relative angular orientations are the same it is concluded that the test disc derives from the same source as the genuine disc and is therefore bona fide. Where there is no correlation, the test disc may be identified as counterfeit. The relative angular orientations, or other physical characteristics of the discs, may be physically measured, or may be calculated from information gained by reading the data on the disc.
