Abstract: There is described a fibre-containing aggregate, for example for use as fill material for blankets or cushions, as upholstery material or as filter, and a process for making it. …<??>To devise an aggregate in which the fibres are, and remain as long as desired, in a desired three-dimensional arrangement and which possesses better properties, in particular as a fill material, it is proposed that an aggregation of fibre balls consisting of spherically coiled fibres and/or filaments be arranged in a desired shape and be bonded to one another. …<??>The fibre balls shall have been bonded together particularly by means of binding fibres, which can be for example fusible, soluble or adhesive fibres. For this purpose, fusible fibres have a melting point which is lower than the melting point of other fibres of the aggregate, and are activated by heat. …<??>The fibre balls can have been bonded to one another via binding fibres arranged within the individual fibre balls and/or via additional binding fibres arranged between the individual fibre balls. Furthermore, other materials may have been arranged not only within but also between the fibre balls.

Abstract: A cursor interface for a waveform display provides for movement of a waveform relative to a first cursor. When the first cursor overlies a desired point on the waveform, the cursor is locked to the waveform by transforming the cursor coordinates from display coordinates to waveform coordinates. The waveform may then be moved together with the first cursor relative to a second cursor. When the second cursor overlies another desired point on the waveform, a measurement value is displayed indicating the difference in positions on the waveform of the cursors. The cursors may be centered independently, and when locked to the waveform the result is to correspondingly move the waveform.

Abstract: An overhead projector having an illumination component with extremely reduced constructional height is described. The main component of the illumination component is a reflection surface which is covered either on its upper side or on its lower side with mirrored prismatic strips which run parallel with one another and reflect the light from at least one laterally arranged light source to the Fresnel lens, writing plate and projection lens. The reflection surface can be plane, but also circular-shaped, hyperbolic or curved in the longitudinal direction of the prism strips. This curving can be continuous or non-continuous. In addition, the reflection surface can also be turned in on itself, i.e. it can also be curved in the direction perpendicular to the extension of the prism strips and this curving can also be continuous or also non-continuous. However, the prism angles of the individual prism strips are always determined individually in such a way that the light appears to come from a light source arranged apparently centrally below the Fresnel lens.
