Abstract: A camera having a through-the-lens finder, it is
constructed such that the main mirror can be positioned into
three different positions: a observing position, a photographing
position in which the main mirror is moved away from the
photographic optical system, and a collapsing position. In the
collapsing position, the main mirror comes closer to the film in
the camera body in the collapsing position than in the case of
the observing position, so that a lens-barrel can be collapsed
inside the camera body even if the lens-barrel has a considerably
large diameter. Besides, the main mirror is moved from the
observing position into the collapsing position unitedly with the
lens-barrel collapsing, so that a driving mechanism for moving
away the main mirror is not required.

IPC: B60K23/04
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: In a motor vehicle with one or several driven axles, as well as with corresponding equalizing gears and/or power dividers for the compensation of differences in the speeds of the wheels, the spinning of wheels and/or axles is avoided through the use of braking devices for the braking of individual wheels, in conjunction with locking devices for the above-mentioned equalizing gears and/or power dividers. Upon reaching a predetermined speed difference value between the drive axles, a reduction of this speed difference is first brought about by actuation of the corresponding braking devices. When a predetermined approach tendency of the wheel speeds to each other is reached, a synchronization of the wheels is obtained by actuating the appropriate locking device. In this manner, a synchronization of rotating parts is achieved during any speed behavior of the rotating parts, without damage to parts of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The capacity of the oscillation (4) and electrode (1) changes at proximity of an earthed body. The oscillator carries on oscillating at unchanged amplitude and frequency on an earthed body approach to the surface electrode. The circuit picks-up the shift current flowing on the surface electrode and converts it into a visual (LEDs) signal, indicating the actuation of the capacitive switch. The signal of the oscillator is applied to the surface electrode via a driver stage with a further output, at which a signal appears representing the shift current flowing at the surface electrode. The latter may be surrounded by an annular electrode (2), to which the oscillator signal is also fed.
