Abstract: Photographic apparatus for supporting a cassette containing a plurality of film units of the self-developing type in position for exposure. Subsequent to its exposure, the film unit is moved out of the cassette and redirected to a liquid spread roller assembly located below the cassette. The roller assembly includes 1) a pair of rollers for rupturing a container of processing liquid associated with a leading end of the film and spreading its contents between layers of the film unit to initiate the formation of a visible image, and 2) structure which cooperates with the external configuration of the cassette for controlling the thickness and/or shape of the processing liquid being spread.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flow guide shutter, especially for the exhaust systems of motor vehicles, which influences exhaust gas flow as a function of the temperature and has a long life, despite extreme environmental conditions. According to the invention, as a result of construction and/or shape and/or additional parts, the shutter is stiffer than a simple bimetallic shutter and has a reduced tendency to vibrate. A flow guide shutter of wedge-shaped longitudinal section is preferred, which consists of a plurality of bimetallic strips (51a, 51b, 54a, 54b, 55a, 55b), which are mounted on a common holder (50). A bimetallic upper strip (51a, 51b) and a bimetallic lower strip (54a, 54b) run from the holder (50) outwards on one another, the end (52) of the upper strip (51a, 51b) being bent around the end of the lower strip (54a, 54b) so that a sliding seat (53) is produced. For reinforcement, one or more bimetallic strips (55a, 55b) can be arranged in the interior of the two outer strips. The present invention makes it possible, for example, for starting catalytic convertors installed near the motor to be protected from the exhaust gas flow when the temperature rises by means of a flow guide shutter, and to lead said exhaust gas flow around the catalytic convertor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un procédé d'adaptation d'une valeur de commande pilote d'une régulation se fonde sur le fait que lorsque les conditions de fonctionnement coïncident avec les conditions de calibrage lors de la détermination initiale de valeurs de commande pilote, aucune déviation des valeurs de réglage ne doit se produire dans aucun domaine de fonctionnement, et que par conséquent les déviations qui sont malgré tout observées sont un signe que les conditions de calibrage ne sont plus remplies, que ce soit à cause d'un effet de vieillissement ou de valeurs parasites non compensées. Selon le procédé, les différences entre les déviations des valeurs de réglage servent à les classer en différentes catégories de valeurs d'influence. Une valeur de correction est alors déterminée pour chaque catégorie de valeur d'influence, capable de compenser pendant le fonctionnement du système réglé l'erreur observée dans le domaine correspondant avant la mise en fonctionnement du système. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir une adaptation précise de domaines individuels selon un procédé offline, et il est donc particulièrement utile pour régler par commande pilote la valeur lambda d'un moteur à combustion interne. Les dispositifs d'application de ce procédé sont des microordinateurs peu coûteux à vitesse de travail si limitée qu'ils ne sont pas capables d'appliquer des procédés complexes d'adaptation online; lorsque ces dispositifs disposent toutefois d'un panneau de comptage utilisable offline, ils peuvent eux aussi assurer une adaptation structurelle précise, c'est-à-dire domaine par domaine.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a color cathode ray tube, a photosensitive layer is formed on an inner sur­face of a panel (1) and a shadow mask (3) is mounted in the panel (1). The photosensitive layer is exposed to a light beam emitted from a light source (13) and passing through a lens system (15), a shutter (16) and apertures of the shadow mask (3) to form a pattern corresponding to the apertures of the shadow mask (3) in an exposure step. In the exposure step, the shutter (16) is moved along the inner surface of the panel (1) and the light source (13) is also moved in synchronism with the move­ment of the shutter (16). Thus, the light beam is so shifted as to satisfy the r - Δp characteristic of the cathode ray tube.

Abstract: Friction dampers are used for vibrational damping in drum-type washing machines, in order to guarantee a quiet vibration-free running of the drum. A disadvantage of conventional friction dampers is that they have an approximately constant damping effect over their entire working range. An amplitude-dependent damping effect is to be achieved with the new friction damper. Stops (6), which are assigned spring elements (7), are arranged as means of amplitude-dependent damping on the friction piston (2a) of the friction damper (1). Arranged in the interspace of the spring elements (7) on the friction piston is a spacer sleeve (8) carrying a friction covering (9) which is in frictional connection with the housing inner wall (5). The frictional force between the housing inner wall (5) and friction covering (9) is so high that, at low amplitudes, only a relative movement between the friction piston (2a) and spacer sleeve (8) takes place and a low damping effect is obtained, in that the spring elements (7) are compressed as a result of the movement of the piston rod (2) or of the friction piston (2a) between the stop (6) and spacers (8), and that only at higher amplitudes is the spacer sleeve (8) taken up by the friction covering (9), with the result that the damping effect increases.

Abstract: Medication which is stored dry (62) or in a concentrated liquid form, and which must be mixed with a diluent (81) before use, is stored in a medication container (20) which has an opening for transferring medication to and from the container (20). A sealing member (26) over the container opening has an elongated passageway (35) extending through it to permit flow of material to and from the container (20). A removable closure (39) in the passageway (35) prevents flow of material until the medication is ready for use. A tapered connector (36) on the sealing member (26) surrounds the passageway (35), and is adapted to receive a mating tapered connector on another container into which material may be transferred from the container (20) after removing the closure (39) from the passageway (35). 
     A medical injector (70) includes a cylindrical vial (72) having an open end (74) and a closed end (76). A resilient plug (78) is press-­fitted into the open end of the vial so a liquid diluent (81) can be stored in a sterile condition in the vial (72). An elongated barrel (88) includes a sealing member (90) at one end, and the sealing member (90) has a passageway (92) extending through it. An elongated cannula (94) is connected at one end to the passageway (92). The other end of the cannula (94) terminates in a scarf (98) in the vicinity of the plug (78). A threaded fitting (84) on the other end (86) of the barrel (88) receives mating threads (82) on one end of the plug (78) extending toward the barrel (88). The vial (72) and cannula (94) are first held in an assembled, but nonoperating, position when the threaded barrel (88) is coupled to the plug (78). Upon further interlocking of the plug (78) with the barrel (88), the scarf end (98) of the cannula (94) pierces the plug (78) so liquid (81) in the vial (72) can flow through the cannula (94)  and out the passageway (92) in the sealing member (90). A tapered connector on the sealing member (90) and around the passageway (92) is adapted to receive a mating tapered connector (36) on the   medication container (20) so that material can be transferred back and forth between the vial interior (72) and the container (20) by reciprocating the plug (78) in the vial (72).

Abstract: This invention relates particularly to a no-center work supporting method and apparatus in a grinding machine which can machine the work with high precision. The work is supported at two points (A, D; AB, BD) and driven to rotate about the center of an inner or outer diameter of the work (w) as a rotation reference diameter. The work is supported in such a manner that a direction (T) normal to a line connecting the two support points (AD; AB; BD) is set as perpendicular as possible to a direction (U) in which the grindstone for grinding the work is fed. This eliminates variations in the finished dimension and surface roughness among works that might otherwise result from dimensional variations in the rotation reference diameter
