Title: Thermoplastic elastomer and process for preparation
IPC: C08L23/12
Filed: 1992-06-17
Abstract: Thermoplastic elastomers in which low 
molecular weight ethylene/propylene/nonconjugated 
diene rubber ("liquid" EPDM rubber) replaces part of 
the high molecular weight EPDM rubber used in 
conventional blends exhibit better tension set 
properties than conventional blends in which liquid 
EPDM rubber is not used. A masterbatch containing 
liquid EPDM rubber and phenolic curing resin which is 
added to a mixture of polyolefin, high molecular 
weight EPDM rubber, and other ingredients during 
mixing results in a thermoplastic elastomer having 
better mechanical properties as well as better tension 
set properties than blends of conventional materials.

IPC: H04N5/14
Filed: 1993-04-28
Abstract: In a transmission path (10) for the transmission of a colour signal of a colour television signal, a signal switch (12) having at least three switch positions (12a, 12b, 12c) is connected, the end positions of which are connected to the output (11.2) and, respectively, to the input (11.1) of a delay line (11) contained in the transmission path. An edge detection arrangement (24) is connected to the transmission path (8) of the luminance signals, which edge detection arrangement, on detecting a signal edge in the luminance signal, generates a detection signal which oscillates about a zero line and exhibits a zero crossing at the detection time and which controls the signal switch in such a manner that an associated colour signal edge of the colour signal occurring at the time of the signal edge of the luminance signal is transmitted with great steepness. Outside the detection of a signal edge, both a component of the undelayed and of the delayed colour signal is transmitted to the signal output (12.3) of the signal switch. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a quartz glass tube body for high-pressure discharge
lamp, the devitrification occurs during lighting, a light
flux decreases and finally the useful life ends, where the
main cause of this devitrification phenomenon is reaction
between a sealed substance and the quartz glass tube body.
It is one object of the present invention to attain the
longer useful life, for example, of a high-pressure discharge
lamp by preventing such a phenomenon. According to
the present invention, a coating is made up by forming one
or more oxynitride layers of an element chosen from among
aluminum, tantalum, niobium, vanadium, chromium, titanium,
zirconium, hafnium, yttrium, scandium, magnesium, silicon
and lanthanum rare earth elements. By incorporating a
bilayer coating on the inside wall of said hollow tube body,
for example, that is composed of an aluminum oxynitride
layer and an aluminum nitride layer obtained from application
of a high-frequency wave between the sputter electrodes
and generation of a glow discharge, a durable coating can be
formed, thereby enabling the useful life of a high-pressure
discharge lamp to be lengthened.

Abstract: A bending mechanism comprising a tubular body or linear body
having a bending part, a movable part which can move in the lengthwise
direction of said tubular body or linear body, two actuators formed
to antagonize via said movable part, and a pull wire which extends in
the lengthwise direction along the bending part, one end of the wire
being fixed to one end side of the bending part and the other end of
the wire being fixed to the movable part set at the other end side of
the bending part, wherein at least one of the two actuators is a
shape memory element, and a stereoscope. The bending mechanism of the
present invention is free of displacement of movable part when
bending action is not needed, since two actuators are used which
antagonize each other via movable part, whereby buckling of the
bending part can be prevented. The simple structure of activator
unit of the present invention facilitates reduction of the size of
the structure. The stereoscope of the present invention is free of
buckling of image guide and the like, and angle of convergence can be
adjusted easily and a desired three-dimensional view can be obtained
easily.

Abstract: A transaction evidencing system includes a personal computer (PC)
comprising a processor, memory and hard drive, with a plurality of non-metering
application programs that selectively run on the PC. An unsecured
printer is operatively coupled to the PC for printing in accordance with the
non-metering application programs. A portable vault card that is removably
coupled to the PC is programmed to generate tokens generation and perform
transaction accounting. An application interface module in the PC, which
interfaces with the non-metering application programs, issues a request for
one digital tokens in response to requests for indicia from a non-metering
application program. A secure communications module in the PC, which
securely communicates with the vault card when the vault card is coupled
to the PC, sends the request for digital token to the vault card and receives a
digital token generated by the vault card. An indicia bitmap generation
module generates an indicia bitmap in the PC from the digital token and
stores it in memory. The indicia bitmap is accessed by the non-metering
application program when a print indicia operation is selected. A
transaction capture module in the PC stores on the hard drive a transaction
record corresponding to each issued digital token and associated postal
data. The application interface module, the secure communications
module, the indicia bitmap generation module and the transaction capture
module are part of a dynamic link library module in the PC.

Abstract: An image detection and pixel processing system includes a plurality of position sensitive
detector elements arranged to receive an image. Each position sensitive detector element provides
information for determining both a total light intensity value within the position sensitive detector
element and a centroid of light intensity indicative of light intensity position within the position
sensitive detector element. An image processing assembly receives information from the plurality of
position detector elements with the image processing assembly relating a pixel and its encompassed
subpixel area to each corresponding position detector element. The total light intensity within the
pixel and the centroid of light intensity within the subpixel is determined, with the image processing
assembly rendering each subpixel area as an edge when magnitude of the centroid of light intensity

damit der Kostenaufwand reduziert. Des weiteren ist durch die
Ausbildung der rutschhemmenden Mittel als Stränge (15, 16) die
Berührungsfläche des Netzes (10) mit den zu schützenden Gütern
verkleinert, so daß Riefen Kratzer oder dergleichen durch
Schmutzpartikelchen vermieden werden.
