Filed: 1980-03-21
Abstract: A device (1) serves for the connection of form panels (2) which are arranged in one plane and which have at their margins (3) U-shaped stiffening profiles (5) which are opened outwardly in a direction parallel to the form skin (6), hence are directed with the openings (4) respectively towards the corresponding opening (4) on the adjacent panel (2) or the like, and whose outer legs (7) remote from the form skin (6) have a margin (8) bent over towards the form skin (6). The stiffening profiles (5) are to be connected releasably by a removable mounting (9). In so doing, the mounting (9) is provided to grip behind the margins (8) on the inside of stiffening profiles lying against one another. The outer U-legs (7) of the stiffening profiles (5) have, for this purpose, a smaller height than the inner legs (10) of these stiffening profiles. The mountings (9) can thereby be introduced through the gap (15) between the outer U- legs (7). The thickness of the mounting (9) is, in so doing equal to or smaller than the clear spacing of the outer U-legs (7) or the gap (15), so that the mounting (9) is introducible on edge between these U-legs (7) and is then brought into the functional position due to rotation about an axis running approximately perpendicularly to the form skin (6). The mounting (9) has a tensioning element (19) which engages approximately in the region of said mounting lying between the margins (8) and which has an abutment supported on the outside of the form, so that a good bracing of the mounting is possible with simultaneous alignment of the form panels (2) to be connected to one another. <IMAGE>

Title: Optical encoder system
IPC: G01D5/36
Filed: 1981-07-22
Abstract: An optical code disc includes a fine track which provides a high resolution signal, at least one V scan natural binary track synchronized to the fine track by lead and lag detectors, and Gray code tracks which provide the most significant bits of the digital output of the encoder system. The number of circuit elements in the multiplier circuitry associated with the fine track are reduced by means of a quadrant switching technique whereby the sinusoidal inputs to the multiplier are repeated through each quadrant of the fine track cycle. The V scan and Gray code tracks are optically multiplexed to reduce the number of leads from the optical detector. The use of both V scan and Gray code tracks minimizes the number of detectors required in the system while maintaining large detector signals from each track. The V scan and Gray code outputs are synchronized by the use of an overlapping bit.
