Abstract: Sun-protection arrangements in the manner of a Venetian blind are known whose vertical slats in the drawn state of the blind can be pivoted jointly about an angle of approximately 180 DEG  and which can be pushed together to one side with a mutually parallel arrangement of their narrow sides for the purpose of freeing the window. …<??>Sun-protection arrangements of this type are not able to prevent the room from heating up due to directly incident sun rays and also considerably subdue the incident daylight in the drawn state of the blind. …<??>In order to remedy this situation, it is proposed that the slats (3) provided are plates of light-refracting material having retroreflecting properties, whose position of rotation is adjusted to the direction of incidence of the direct solar radiation (S') as a function of the movement of the sun, by means of a control device (15) in connection with a light sensor (16). The drawing and undrawing of the slat blind (2) takes place here with high precision by means of a spindle drive (5/6) which is likewise controlled by the control device (15). …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A throttle-controlled hydraulic power brake employing a pressurized fluid produced via a pump (5) and preferably stored in an accumulator (9) for enabling servo-assisted displacement of a push rod (10) acting on the master cylin­der (2) of a brake pump (of the same type employed on vacuum-­operated power brakes) subsequent to axial displacement of a second push rod (12) controlled directly by the brake pedal (7). Displacement of the second push rod (12) towards the first provides, against the action of elastic means, for opening a first face seal valve, which feeds the pressurized fluid into a variable-volume accumulating chamber (23), so as to displace a piston (25) connected axially to the first push rod (10) and defining a movable wall of the accumulating chamber, and so close the valve. Oppo­site displacement of the second push rod (12), on the other hand, provides for opening a second face seal valve connecting the accumulating chamber (23) to a drain.

Abstract: An advanced processor bus system communicates data words among processors connected to the advanced processor bus by means of bus expander interface units. Memory arrays are connected to the advanced processor bus by means of memory control interface units. The interface units issue data requests for the transmission of data upon the advanced processor bus for reception into a register of the requesting interface units. The interface units then issue data replies which are communicated in packets by message types over the advanced processor bus in response to the data requests, with each packet occupying at least one time slot. Each time slot is capable of including operation specification code, address, data, control, and parity-check bits. Messages are qued and controlled for pipelining. The action on the bus can be frozen for one cycle repetitively for diagnosis purposes.

Abstract: A wheeled support assembly 10 is manually pushed over the ground and has a motor 22 rotating an antenna assembly 60 about a vertical axis 24. Encoders 28 on the antenna shaft 20 and on a wheel axle encode antenna angular position and position over the ground. Transmitted pulses and received data pass through a rotary microwave connector 26. For example, 400 sets of pulses are emitted at equal angular intevals in each revolution of the antenna assembly. The interval between pulses is e.g. 12 microseconds, with 256 pulses per set. Noise reduction is achieved by processing the received data accordingly. In a modification the rotary connector 26 is single channel with some electronic stages mounted on the rotating antenna assembly. Power is coupled to them via the microwave cable. An umbilical connects the assembly 10 to a support facility including a computer. Alternatively, battery power is used with data transferred radiatively.

Abstract: A battery powered computer system (C) monitors the address bus (20) to determine when selected peripheral devices have not been accessed for a preset amount of time. When the preset amount of time has passed the system powers itself down and stops the system clock, placing it in a standby mode. The system is awakened by depressing a standby switch, unless there is insufficient energy in the batteries, under which circumstances an AC power source must be connected before the system can be re-awakened.

Abstract: A projection-type liquid crystal display apparatus using liquid crystal cells as light polarizing devices. This apparatus makes a polarization control of one of the two linearly polarized light components perpendicular to each other separated by the polarized light separating device (3) through the first liquid crystal cell (5P) and of the other of the two through the second liquid crystal cell (5S). The liquid crystal cells (5P, 5S) transmit through directly a linearly polarized light component incident upon pixel portions corresponding to bright pixels of an image to be projected on the screen (10), while they transmit through the one incident upon pixel portions corresponding to dark pixels of the image as converting it into the other linearly polarized light component. This apparatus composes the first linearly polarized light penetrating through pixel portions of the first liquid crystal cell (5P) corresponding to bright pixels of the image and the second linearly polarized light penetrating through pixel portions of the second liquid crystal cell (5S) corresponding to the same bright pixels as the above-mentioned bright pixels through a polarized light composing device (7) and projects the composed light on the screen (10) through an optical device (9).

Abstract: In this method it is provided to write the recording of a fault pattern and a healthy pattern one above the other via a digital memory and to use pulses which have the same amplitude and curve shape. For this purpose, an arc is generated at the fault location and when the capacitor is discharged through the arc current to a voltage below the ignition voltage of the fault location, the existing residual charge of the capacitor is fed to the cable in the manner of a pulse and the reflected wave is detected via a channel of the digital memory. Subsequently, after disconnecting the cable and recharging the capacitor to a voltage below the ignition voltage of the fault location, a new discharge will occur via the cable, the reflected wave produced being recorded via a second channel of the digital memory. When the two recordings are written one above the other, the point of deviation is used for determining the fault location. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a noise shaping requantization circuit, a requantized output digital signal Y(z) and an input digital signal X(z) are processed in an operational circuit (3) whose output signal (A(z) is requantized to provide the requantized output signal. The processing circuit can be configured in a variety of ways but has fixed limitations established for circuit parameters which determine the relationship beween the output signal therefrom and the two input signals. By comparison with prior art noise shaping requantization circuits, a substantially better S/N ratio (assuming equal values of output signal resolution), or a substan­tially lower degree of output signal resolution (assuming equal values of S/N ratio) can be achieved, with stable operation.

Abstract: In a conventional vacuum box (14) a loop of a web material (10) is received in an elongate chamber (28) of the box, and a vacuum is applied at the lower portion of the chamber draws air through the chamber (28) to hold the loop of web material (10) under tension as it moves through the chamber. When the web (10) has one or more notches (16) along a side edge thereof, the web may vibrate excessively and experience a drop in web tension as the notch passes through the bottom of the loop in the box. In order to avoid this problem an endless ring (50) of flexible material is positioned in the vacuum box (14) and within the loop of web material (10). The ring (50) has a plurality of spaced openings (52) around the circumference of the ring, and they are offset from the side edges of the ring so that the portion of the ring adjacent the openings will cover the notches (16) in the web (10) as the web passes through the bottom of the loop in the vacuum box (14), thus avoiding the excessive vibration in the web and loss in web tension mentioned above.
