Patent EP-0138430-A3 (EP)
Title: Process and apparatus for strip flatness and tension measurements
IPC: B21B37/28
Filed: 1984-09-21
Abstract: A process and apparatus for on-line measurement of unflatness of hot or cold rolled strip products, wherein the longidudinal bending of a shape roll over which the strip passes provides a measure of the unflatness of the strip. Actual values of force, displacement or bending moment near the ends of the shape roll may be compared to theoretically predicted values for a flat product and for product having various out-of-flatness conditions. Preferably, the shape roll is supported at its ends by two pairs of supports, and the measurements at the supports are used in determining roll bending and thence strip unflatness. Other conditions such as off-center strip and asymmetric operation of the rolling mill may also be determined from the measurement.

Title: Automatic beam current control systems for television cameras
IPC: H04N5/228
Filed: 1985-11-21
Abstract: An image pickup apparatus or television camera tube (11), which a signal corresponding to a target current of the television camera tube (11) is supplied to a beam current control electrode (G1) thereof so as thereby to control the beam amplitude to correspond to variations of the amount of light incident thereon, is provided with an automatic beam current control system in which the signal corresponding to the target current is supplied through a line adder circuit (17) to the beam current control electrode (G1). The line adder circuit (17) may comprise a one horizontal period delay line (15). Since the control signal supplied to the beam current control electrode (G1) is an added value or an average value of target currents obtained over two scanning periods, a stable control signal always is supplied to the beam current control electrode (G1) so that a picked-up image signal of high definition, which does not contain a line crawl component, can be obtained.
Patent EP-0192927-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06T11/80
Filed: 1986-01-07
Abstract: A method is described for editing graphic objects in an 
interactive draw graphic system which selectively displays a 
menu of available editing actions in response to operation of 
one mouse button by the operator and allows the operator to 
cursor select the specific edit action from the menu to be made 
active by operating a second mouse key. The operator may also 
cursor select the object to be edited by operation of the 
second mouse key. Once the editing action is selected and made 
active, the menu is hidden (not displayed) and the editing 
action remains active in the system until positive steps are 
taken by the operator to either terminate the edit function or 
change the active editing action. The operator, therefore, 
does not have to return to the selection process after each 
specific editing operation. The previous editing operation is 
implied for the next edit operation.

Patent EP-0190013-A3 (EP)
IPC: F04B27/18
Filed: 1986-01-23
Abstract: A variable capacity compressor (40) has an inclined plate 
(10) which is rotated by a rotor (8) attached to a drive shaft 
(4). The rotary motion is converted by a pair of shoes (19) 
which make sliding contact with both faces of the plate (10) 
into reciprocating motion of a piston (21) so that fluid may be 
pumped from a suction chamber (27) into a discharge 
chamber (28). The shoes (19) have spherically curved 
surfaces which allow the plate (10) to pivot relatively to the 
piston (21) and which are arranged to be coincident with the 
surface of a notional common sphere of radius (R) so as to 
prevent pivoting of the plate (10) from causing a gap to 
appear between the plate (10) and the shoes (19). A bellows 
(34) is used to control the pressure in a chamber (1a) so that 
changes of pressure are used to cause the plate (10) to pivot 
about a pin (11) and thereby alter the stroke of the piston 
(21).

Patent EP-0210960-A3 (EP)
IPC: F02B57/00
Filed: 1986-07-08
Abstract: A rotary internal combustion or heat engine has a 
reciprocable double piston (3) moving in a cylinder (2). 
In one embodiment the cylinder (2) itself is rotatable 
and linked to an engine drive shaft (12) which turns at 
twice the speed of rotation of the cylinder. In another 
embodiment the cylinder (2) is fixed and the engine 
shaft (11) performs a planetary motion. The double 
piston (5) provides the working cycle and the variations 
in volume are obtained from the reciprocating motion of 
the piston within the cylinder (3) which is closed at 
both ends. Fuel induction takes place through centrally 
located ports (20,30) at a radially inner position and 
exhaust of the combustion products is effected at a 
radially outer position through exhaust ports (21,31).

Title: Integrated circuit having latch-up protection circuit fabricated by complementary mos technology
IPC: H01L21/8242
Filed: 1987-08-10
Abstract: A latch-up protection circuit for an integrated circuit using complementary MOS circuit technology has a substrate bias generator that applies a negative substrate bias to a semiconductor substrate having a p-conductive material into which a well-shaped semiconductor zone of n-conductive material is inserted. In order to avoid latch-up effects in the integrated circuit, an electronic protection circuit interrupts the capacitive charging currents of a capacitor in the substrate depending on the potential of the semiconductor substrate which is taken at a doped substrate bias terminal. The electronic protection circuit connects a capacitor bias generator to the capacitor when a voltage on the substrate bias terminal is less than a sum of a reference potential and a threshold voltage of a first transistor in the electronic protection circuit. The electronic protection circuit disconnects the capacitive bias generator from the capacitor when a voltage on the substrate bias terminal is greater than the sum. During normal operation the electronic protection circuit does not load a supply voltage source or a substrate bias voltage source with current.

Patent EP-0275114-A3 (EP)
IPC: F25C1/00
Filed: 1988-01-15
Abstract: Cryogenic apparatus and methods are disclosed 
which enable a substance to be frozen at a rapid rate 
thereby promoting the formation of a multitude of 
small ice crystals in the substance rather than a 
smaller number of large ice crystals. The method 
comprises circulating a cryogen around a closed canal (36, 48, 50). 
The canal is preferably partly immersed in a bath (10) 
containing a liquid which boils at a temperature below 
the boiling point of the cryogen in the canal, and 
which preferably boils at a temperature below the 
freezing point of the cryogen in the canal. Means (136, 214) for 
sensing the temperature of the cryogen are provided, 
the temperature sensing means controlling a heater (137) 
which maintains the temperature of the cryogen above 
its freezing point. The cryogen can circulate in a 
horizontal plane or in a vertical plane. Where the 
substance to be frozen comprises organic tissue, the 
cryogen preferably flows in a vertically arranged 
canal and the tissue is plunged countercurrent into 
upwardly flowing cryogen. Where the substance to be 
frozen is a material consisting of two or more 
homogeneously mixed components, then the material is 
preferably introduced into the cryogen as a series of 
drops or as a fine continuous stream which falls on 
the flowing surface of the cryogen. The method is 
particularly suitable for the preparation of ceramics, 
potassium superoxide and catalysts.
