Patent EP-0627676-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JANCA REINER DR
IPC: G05B9/02
Filed: 1994-05-27
Abstract: A method is proposed for the electronic supervision and control of the opening and closing process of electrically operated units, in which, for the purpose of reducing considerably the components necessary for determining the adjusting parameters of the unit involved whilst maintaining an as simple as possible method, a period is calculated by the microcomputer of the control electronics, synchronously with the sensor signal (S), in which period the counting unit counts positive edges of the sensor signal determined by the sensor element in the direction of the adjusting direction prevailing before the instant of reversal (tr), and a time range is calculated, after the expiry of which positive edges of the sensor signal are counted by the counting unit in the opposite direction to the adjusting direction, prevailing before the instant of reversal (tr), of the unit involved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: To accelerate the decrease in pressure on emptying a pressurised space (5), on the wall (1) of this is mounted an outlet valve (9) and a module (10) for control thereof. By means of two pressure accumulators (19, 20) and throttles (17, 18) upstream of these, the module (10) generates, from the air pressure p in the pressurised space (5) a control signal, proportional to its rate of change dp/dt for opening the valve (9). The accelerated pressure decrease achievable by this device which can move with the pressurised space (5) and operates autonomously permits an increase in the number of press cycles and thus the yield per hour of pneumatic fruit presses which can be retrofitted inexpensively with this. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A motor vehicle with a body open at the top has two pivotable hoods arranged at a distance from one another, each hood being provided with a lock which is connected via a connecting element to an actuating handle of an operating device, and the two hoods being unlockable from the passenger space. In order to develop a device for locking and unlocking two hoods of an open passenger car which are located at a distance from one another, in such a way that, whilst having a simplified design, it can be produced cost-effectively and constitutes an effective anti-theft device, provision is made for assigning the two actuating handles to a common operating device which comprises a bearing housing having a central cylinder lock. Formed-on catches of the two actuating handles cooperate with outer walls of the lock case of the cylinder lock. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a gripper control for a front gripper which is driven in cyclical oscillation for transporting individual sheets in a sheet printing press. This control is effected by a control cam (15) which revolves singularly with a cylinder and by a cam segment (12) on which two successive, circular cam regions with a common centre-point are formed, and which is fixed on a roller lever (13) so as to be adjustable on a circular path parallel to the cam path, the movement of which roller lever is brought about by a cam roller (11) which rolls along the singularly revolving cam. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The surface of a fatigue-resistant eutectic or near-eutectic lead/tin solder containing at least one doping element of cadmium, indium, and antimony is treated with an aqueous solution of an acidic chloride or acidic nitrate. The surface treatment method of the present invention removes, or substantially reduces, the presence of any cadmium, indium, and/or antimony, as well as the oxides of tin and lead, leaving a surface that is substantially tin and lead. The resulting treatment renders the solder compatible with mildly reducing fluxes of low activity and improves the wettability of the solder.

Abstract: A hot gas soldering system is disclosed in which slotted, usually copper soldering tips (42) are permitted to idle at a relatively low temperature and then be exceedingly quickly brought up to a predetermined desired word temperature by immersing it into a high energy flow of hot gas. The tip (42) may be kept at even lower idle temperatures by supporting it at the end of a thin walled thermally resistive stainless steel tube (14) through which the hot gas flows only when it is desired to convey heat to the working tip (42).

Abstract: A single needle system for withdrawing donated blood, processing the blood to harvest components such as platelets, and returning processed blood to the donor through the single needle (10). Processing is performed by a centrifuge (24) which separates blood components into stratified layers with a buffy coat containing platelets and white blood cells stably interfacing a red blood cell layer. Blood is withdrawn during a draw cycle and returned to the donor during a return cycle. A recirculation system is provided so that blood flows at a reduced rate through the processing system during the return cycle in order to minimize return cycle time while maintaining the stable position of the interface between buffy coat and red blood cell layers. A storage bag (37) receives processed blood during the draw cycle and blood is squeezed from the bag (37) during the return cycle, a portion returned to the donor and another portion entering the recirculation path (35,37',38). A pressure sensor (40) is located in the return path (35,37',38) to indicate an empty storage bag (37) upon a precipitous drop in pressure. In that manner an immediate switch to the draw cycle is made to further minimize return cycle time. To still further minimize the return cycle time, flow resistance in the return path (35,37',38) is minimized with more than 80% of the flow resistance in the return path associated with the needle (10).

IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 1994-05-26
Abstract: In order to simplify a circuit for detecting the level of an operating voltage with respect to a specified working range, a Zener diode is used in which the semiconducting junction is polarised alternately by one voltage or another. Under these conditions, the avalanche voltage of this Zener diode changes. The operating voltage to be monitored is connected to the cathode of this Zener diode. If the monitored operating voltage is higher than the avalanche voltage of this Zener diode, the latter starts conducting alternately. On the other hand, if the operating voltage is outside this range, this diode is either permanently conducting or permanently cut off. The variations resulting from this are detected in order to indicate whether the operating voltage is of the correct kind or not. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a digital television signal processing system, a special codeword, a Packet Alignment Flag (PAF) (14), is inserted into an MPEG codeword bitstream to signify the presence of a Group of Pictures (GOP). The PAF immediately precedes a Picture Start codeword for an 'I' frame, which initiates a GOP. A data packet (12) under construction when a PAF (14) appears is terminated since a GOP is intented to begin a packet boundary. Such termination may result in an abbreviated packet of less than a prescribed number of codewords needed to complete a data packet. The last word of each packet is designated as such to facilitate the subsequent combining of data packets (12) with respective headers (18). An incomplete data packet is filled with null (zeroed bits) words to make up a complete data packet with a prescribed number of words.
