Abstract: A plumb weight (3) suspended from a plumb wire (2), which is anchored firmly at one end, carries a laser light transmitter (10) which is opposite to a stationary photo-electric receiver (11). The latter exhibits a photodetector arrangement (12) in front of which an optical system (14) and a ground glass disc (13) are connected. Light transmitter (10) and receiver (11) form an optical position measuring system (9). Relative movements between the anchoring point (4) of the plumb wire (2) and hence the plumb body (3) and the receiver (11) transversely to the vertical result in a change in the position of the point where the light beam (10a) impinges on the photodetector arrangement (12). The amount of movement of the plumb body (3) and thus of the plumb wire anchoring point (4) relative to the receiver (11) can be determined by measuring the respective position of this light spot. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for drawing tubular bodies 7 of rectangular cross-section from tubular round blanks 4. Whereas known methods of this kind envisage drawing the blank 4 by cold deformation onto a mandrel which predetermines the inside dimension of the tubular body 7, it being necessary for the mandrel to be of at least equal length to the tubular body 7 and to be subsequently forced out of the tubular body 7 by means of an additional operation, the invention envisages a simplification insofar as the circumference of the blank 4 and of the subsequent tubular body 7 are kept the same and the deformation is performed by the plug-drawing method, in part by expansion and in part by compression of the blank 4, the finished tubular body 7 thus being obtained in a single forming operation and without the need first of all to release the mandrel from it. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention provides a method of non-electrostatically transferring dry toner particles which have a particle size of less than 8 micrometers from an element to a receiver. The method comprises contacting the toner particles with a receiver which comprises a substrate having a coating of a thermoplastic polymer thereon characterized by the presence of a layer of a release agent on the coating in an amount sufficient to prevent the polymer from adhering to the element during transference and by heating the receiver to a temperature such that its temperature during transfer and separation is above the T g  of the polymer. By this method adherence of the receiver to the element during transference and separation is not only prevented but virtually complete transfer of the fine toner particles is achieved.

Abstract: In a method of measuring a period on which a surface defect appears in a surface of a web-like material moving in a lengthwise direction, surface defects distributed in the surface are detected in a lengthwise direction of the web-like material. Positional data and distance data of the detected surface defects relative to one another are collected for a predetermined length of the web-like material. The web-like material is decided to have a periodic surface defect appearing on a period between predetermined maximum and minimum periods when the distance data includes a distance equivalent to an elemental period that is integer multiples of a fundamental period.

Abstract: A method for the non-pollutant discharge of a closed refrigeration apparatus having a refrigeration compressor and a device for carrying out the method. In a known method, a mandrel provided with a longitudinal borehole is introduced into the pressure line starting from the refrigeration compressor and the refrigerant is conducted via this opening into a refrigerant collection tank. It is disadvantageous in this case that the lubricating oil containing dissolved refrigerant remains in the refrigeration system and that this refrigerant is emitted when the temperature rises. The intention of the new method is to remove refrigerant and lubricating oil from the refrigeration system at the same time in a simple manner. For this purpose, provision is made for an opening to be introduced in the region of the lubricating oil accumulation of the refrigeration system (30) and for the lubricating oil to be fed into the collection tank (44) together with the refrigerant. For this purpose, according to the claims relating to the device, a specially constructed extraction head (32) is used. The method and the device allow non-pollutant, complete and rapid emptying of refrigeration systems of the most varied types in a simple manner. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Known communication devices having a control device and a delay device transmit an acknowledgement message which is offset in time with respect to a received message. In particular applications, the time difference between the reception of the message and the sending- out of the acknowledgement message must be maintained very accurately. 
<??>For this purpose, the control device is connected to a temperature sensor and a correction-value store. The control device uses the temperature sensor to remove a correction value from the correction- value store and specifies this correction value to the delay device for determining the delay time.

Abstract: The automatic tracking apparatus includes a playback head, a driver for driving the playback head, and a controller for controlling the driver. The playback head is arranged to play back the information recorded on an arbitrary track on a disk-shaped magnetic recording medium. The driver is arranged to cause the playback head to move on the disk-shaped magnetic recording medium approximately in the radial direction. The controller causes the driver to move the head from an arbitrary track to the desired track step-by-step, sampling the output from the playback head within a predetermined range. Thus, the playback head is located at a position corresponding to the maximum level from among the sampled outputs.

Abstract: A toe iron of a safety ski binding has a basic body (11) which is to be attached to the ski and at which a sole-holder (13), which holds an inserted ski boot from above and from the sides, is mounted so that it can be pivoted up about a transverse axle (12) arranged in the front end region and at the bottom. The sole-holder has two lateral jaws (17, 18) which can be swivelled out laterally about vertical axles (15, 16) located on both sides of the longitudinal mid-axis (14). A release spring (20), which is accommodated in a hollow space (19) of the sole-holder (13) and extends essentially in the direction of the longitudinal mid-axis (14), prestresses both the lateral jaws (17, 18) and the sole-holder (13) towards their ski boot holding position via a lifting and connecting link mechanism. Via two control levers (23, 24), mounted on the sole-holder (13) about a vertical axis (21, 22) in each case, and a common yoke member (25), the lateral jaws (17, 18) are charged by one end of the release spring (20) which is supported by the other end on the sole-holder (13). Additionally, after overcoming a clearance (26) within the scope of different sole thicknesses of the ski boot to be inserted, the release spring (20) acts via the yoke member (25) on a holding-down cam (27) which is displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal mid-axis (14), is mounted on the sole-holder (13) and interacts with a connecting link wall (28), rising obliquely from the rear to the front, on the basic body (11).
