Title: Holding device for chip cards used in vehicles for recording person-specific trip data
Inventor: BENZING KURT
IPC: G06K13/06
Filed: 2002-02-20
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to prevent the plate contacts of chip cards from wearing as a result of vibrations that occur during the operation of a vehicle. To achieve this, the spring contacts of the read/write set of contacts in a holding device for chipcards are separated from the plate contacts of a chip card that has been inserted into the holding device, for a period, during which no trip or driver-related data is transmitted and said contacts are closed for only a relatively short time, i.e. during the reading of the chip card data into the relevant data recording device and during the writing of recorded data to the chip card. The holding device is configured in such a way that the relevant chip card remains inaccessible when the contacts are separated.

Abstract: A modulated light emitter[10] having a laser and modulator constructed on a common
substrate. The light emitter includes an active layer[26] having a quantum well (QW) layer
sandwiched between first and second barrier layers[23]. The active layer[26] includes a laser
region[20] and a modulator region[30] connected by a waveguide. The laser region[20] emits
light when a potential is applied across the active layer[26] in the laser region[20]. The
modulator region[30] has a first state in which the modulator region[30] absorbs the
generated light and a second state in which the modulator region[30] transmits the generated
light. The modulator region[30] assumes either the first or second state depending on the
potential across the modulator region[30]. The QW layer[22] in the modulator region[30] is

Abstract: A pedal bracket (40) is made of die-cast aluminum,
and includes peripheral ribs (86), axial ribs (88), and a
crack creation portion (92). If a predetermined high load
is applied to a front portion of a vehicle, a rear end
side of the pedal bracket (40) is separated from a
coupling bracket (72) and slides on a guide face (84A) of
a slide guide (84). In this process, the rear end side of
the pedal bracket (40) is rotationally displaced, while a
crack is created in the crack creation portion (92). The
crack grows toward the axial ribs (88) and ruptures the
pedal bracket (40). Accordingly, while ensuring that a
pedal pad (58) of a brake pedal (10) is displaced
substantially forwards with respect to the vehicle, the
load input to the side of an instrument panel reinforce
(26) can be reduced.

Abstract: An instrument, in particular an electron microscope, has at least one user controllable operating parameter and at least one further operating parameter having a required value at least partially dependent on that of the user controllable parameter. A number of possible values of the further operating parameter are stored in a memory and each stored value corresponds to a respective possible value of the user controllable parameter. Selecting one of said stored possible values causes the instrument to be controlled accordingly. There is also provided a tuner for enabling the user to alter the selected value and updating apparatus for updating the memory accordingly, so that the adjusted value of the further operating parameter is subsequently selected from the memory if the same value of the user controllable parameter is then chosen again.

Abstract: Dans une alimentation en mode commuté (SMPS), une source de tension d'alimentation de secteur est couplée à un redresseur de façon à produire une tension d'alimentation d'entrée. La tension d'alimentation d'entrée du redresseur est couplée sans filtre à une entrée de l'alimentation en mode commuté. Un transistor à découpage ayant un facteur de charge réglable est régulé par un signal modulé de facteur de charge permettant de produire une tension d'alimentation de sortie régulée à partir de la tension d'alimentation d'entrée redressée. L'oscillogramme périodique de la tension d'alimentation de secteur est utilisé pour établir les temporisations du signal modulé du facteur de charge. Dans chaque cycle, l'intensité du courant est initié dans le transistor, lorsque le transistor est déjà complètement allumé et une tension formée entre ces principaux terminaux conducteurs du courant est inférieure à zéro ou proche de zéro. Par conséquent, la perte de courant est avantageusement faible. Lorsque la tension d'alimentation de sortie atteint le niveau requis, le transistor est éteint. Une hystérésis permet d'empêcher le transistor de s'allumer de nouveau dans le même cycle, après avoir été éteint.
