Title: Household appliance having a height-adjusting device for an appliance pedestal
Inventor: FETZER GERHARD
IPC: A47B91/02
Filed: 2008-10-29
Abstract: A household appliance, particularly a dishwasher or washing machine, having a height-adjusting device for an appliance pedestal. The height-adjusting device may include at least one drive gear engaged with a transmission drive converting the rotary motion of the drive gear into a lift motion of the appliance pedestal. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the drive gear includes a torque-limiting element operable to enable a deflecting motion of the drive gear from an operating position when a limit torque is exceeded, and which releases the engagement between the drive gear and the transmission drive.

Filed: 2008-12-03
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de resynchronisation d'une pluralité de signaux analogiques obtenus par conversion, avec des convertisseurs numérique-analogique à rythme de données double (DDR), d'une pluralité de signaux numériques de fréquence 2F synchronisés en sortie d'un composant numérique. Le dispositif comporte au moins deux convertisseurs numérique-analogique A et B à rythme de données double, chaque convertisseur étant connecté respectivement à une voie de sortie du composant numérique. Les convertisseurs A et B reçoivent un même signal d'horloge de fréquence 2F, les convertisseurs A et B divisant par deux de manière indépendante ce signal d'horloge, pour obtenir un signal d'horloge de fréquence F permettant de cadencer à la fréquence F leurs registres de sortie et leurs registres d'entrée. Le convertisseur B fournit le signal d'horloge à la fréquence F au composant numérique pour cadencer les registres de sortie dudit composant, de sorte que les signaux analogiques en sortie des deux convertisseurs A et B restent synchronisés même si le signal d'horloge à la fréquence F obtenu par division dans le convertisseur A est en opposition de phase par rapport au signal d'horloge à la fréquence F obtenu par division dans le convertisseur B.

Abstract: The present invention provides a memory card equipped with an interface controller connected to external connecting terminals, a memory connected to the interface controller, and a security controller connected to the interface controller. A second external connecting terminal capable of supplying an operating power supply to the security controller is provided aside from a first external connecting terminal which supplies an operating power supply to the interface controller and the memory. An interface unit of the interface controller connected to the security controller receives the operating power supply from the second external connecting terminal and thereby enables a stop of the supply of the operating power supply from the first external connecting terminal. Even if the supply of the operating power supply to the interface controller is cut off, the output of the interface unit is not brought to an indefinite state.

Abstract: To produce a hole in a part (1) made of a thermoplastic composite, the part is locally heated to a plastic forming temperature Tf and the fibres (10) of the composite are progressively moved apart at the same time as the matrix (11) in the plastic state is pushed back radially relative to the axis of the hole, firstly to form a starter hole and then to enlarge the starter hole up to the desired hole dimensions. When the hole has been produced, an operation for sizing the thickness of the part in the hole region is carried out without removal of material because of the excess material pushed back from the hole. A tool having a needle (31), the cross section of which progressively changes between a tapered end (311) suitable for producing the starter hole and a heel (312), is used to produce the hole by the method.
