Abstract: Un système d'éclairage (10) à lampe-éclair et un procédé permettant d'obtenir un éclairage artificiel à des fins de capture d'images. Une source de lumière éclair fonctionne sélectivement dans un premier mode de projection de lumière dans une première direction (16), vers une surface de réflexion indirecte (18), afin d'éclairer indirectement un objet (20), et dans un deuxième mode de projection de lumière dans une deuxième direction (82), afin d'éclairer directement l'objet (20). Les rayonnements électromagnétiques directement réflechis par la surface de réflexion indirecte sont directement captés (40) de manière à générer des signaux contenant des informations sur la surface de réflexion indirecte et les informations contenues dans ces signaux sont utilisées pour commander (42) la plojection sélective de lumière dans les première et deuxième directions, afin de régler les quantités de lumière directe et indirecte qui éclairent l'objet. Dans un aspect, des rayonnements électromagnétiques, tels que des rayonnements infrarouges, sont transmis à la surface de réflexion indirecte de sorte qu'une partie des rayonnements soient renvoyés par la surface au système d'éclairage à lampe-éclair, où ils sont détectés afin de générer des signaux contenant des informations concernant la distance qui sépare la surface et un endroit donné dans le système d'éclairage à lampe-éclair. Dans un autre aspect, la lumière réfléchiedirectement par la surface de réflexion indirecte lorsque la source fonctionne dans le premier mode d'éclairage, ou d'éclairage indirect, est directement reçue par un capteur dans le système afin de générer des signaux qui indiquent la présence de la surface de réflexion indirecte.

Abstract: When the frame of a door is constructed from aluminium or plastic profiles which usually have a relatively small cross-section, relatively little space remains for a mortise lock or a tubular-frame lock. Nevertheless, a relatively large bolt extension of, for example, twice 10 mm can be required, that is to say the bolt (5) is preclosed or closed back by means of two revolutions of a key of a lock cylinder (7) and therefore of a locking bit (8). The locking bit (8) must therefore be coupled twice to the bolt or its bolt tail (14) at different points or at points located one behind the other in the preclosing direction (15). For this purpose, the bolt tail (14) possesses a first driving receptacle (16) and a second driving receptacle (17) which is "swung open" only during the first preclosing movement. When the lock is equipped for preference with a reversing device (29), it is necessary to ensure that the locking bit (8) can act on the reversing device (29) only when the bolt (5) is retracted. An expedient control consisting of a control lever (21) and of a control plate (44) guarantees this. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Mineral material, particularly of the basalt type, is fiberized by internal centrifuging in a spinner (1') having a peripheral wall (19) with a multiplicity of orifices through which the melt may emanate into the environment where a hot gas blast attenuates the melt cones emanating from the orifices to fibers. As such mineral material has a high melting point or liquidus temperature, and low viscosity at the liquidus temperature, a high proportion of unfiberized particles is likely to be produced. However, the production of mineral wool with good fiber fineness and largely free of unfiberized particles surprisingly is possible if the cone lengths and the configuration of the gas flows generated around the spinner are such that the majority of the filament forming cones emanating from the spinner orifices intersect the isotherm corresponding to a viscosity of 100 poises, or otherwise reach into a zone cooled down to a temperature corresponding to a viscosity of more than 100 poises. In practice, such a configuration of the gas flows is produced by an outer annular blower (24) complementing the external annular burner (13) which produces jets of cool air so as to bring low-temperature isotherms in close vicinity of the peripheral wall (19) of the spinner (1') where the tips of the cones reach into such cool zone so as to increase the viscosity at the tip of the cones to avoid breakage of the filament to be attenuated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a multiphasic defibrillation/cardioversion waveform. The multiphasic defibrillation/cardioversion waveform is generated by specifying only the initial voltage and end voltage of the first phase and the percentage of time duration of each subsequent phase relative to the time duration of the first phase. Therefore, only two voltage measurements need to be made for the first phase, while for the remaining phases, only the time duration is detected.
