Abstract: A luminance qualified vector display device provides a vector display
that is gated by a specified luminance range. In one implementation three
luminance gates may be used, one for luminance levels above a specified
high luminance threshold, a second for luminance levels below a specified low
luminance threshold, and a third for luminance levels between the specified
high and low luminance thresholds. Also the luminance thresholds for the
medium luminance range may be separately adjusted to overlap the high and
low luminance ranges respectively. Each luminance qualified vector display
may be displayed separately, may be overlaid for display using a different
color for each luminance range, or may be displayed in different quadrants of
a display device or window together with the normal, non-luminance qualified,
vector display.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une barrière pour automobiles, rétractable dans le sol, renforcée, destinée à un passage à niveau. Selon l'invention, des bunkers en ciment sont placés de chaque côté d'un chemin de roulement. Un tube d'acier rempli de ciment, vertical, fixé dans chaque bunker présente un manchon pouvant avoir un mouvement de rotation et axial. Des absorbeurs de chocs sont montés sur chaque manchon. Un filet s'étend à travers la route et est fixé aux extrémités opposées des absorbeurs de chocs. La collision d'une automobile avec le filet crée des forces de traction dans le filet. Les absorbeurs de chocs s'expansent tout en tournant autour de l'axe du tube en réponse aux forces de traction du filet qui atteignent ou dépassent un seuil minimum. Les forces du filet traversent l'axe du tube d'acier. Le filet est stocké dans une fosse perpendiculaire à la chaussée parallèlement à la voie ferrée et est levé et abaissé de manière appropriée. Le filet comprend un câble qui s'étend à travers la route selon une configuration d'onde, présentant des pics, des vallées et des points centraux, les tangentes des points centraux de l'onde étant au moins à 90 degrés des tangentes des pics et des vallées.

Abstract: The invention relates to a non-automotive-headlight lamp (1) comprising a lighting element (3) and a transparent bulb (2), which is at least partly equipped with an interference coating (4) for e.g. changing the color or color temperature of the lamp (1), and to a lighting unit (15) comprising such a lamp (1) being mounted in a reflector (12). But the invention is also related to lighting units (15) where the interference coating (4) is not applied to the lamp (1) but to the reflector (12). In these lamps (1) or lighting units (15) light components (8) not appropriately filtered by the interference coating (4) lead to undesired wavelengths in the illumination beam and/or to a compromised color uniformity of the beam. Such light components (8) may stem from missing or insufficient filters on part of the lamp (1), from non-normal incidence of the rays (8) on the filter (4), and, in reflectors (12) with interference coating (4), from direct light (8) not hitting the reflector (12). The invention adds a blocking device (5, 6, 7) to the lamp (1) or lighting unit (15) to substantially prevent these light components (8) to enter the illumination beam. Whereas constructively similar blocking devices (5, 6, 7) are known from automotive headlight lamps for preventing glare their benefits in the context of interference coatings (4) were overlooked in the prior art.
