Patent DE-19924592-A1 (DE)
Inventor: GASCH ARMIN
IPC: G01F1/74
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: Prior art measuring methods for determining the flow rates and the volume percents of fluids comprising one or more constituents are too inaccurate since the determination of the volume percents and the determination of the flow rates of the constituents are carried out in a manner that is temporally and locally separate from one another. In order to increase the accuracy of measurement, the inventive method provides that at least one electromagnetic signal with a predeterminable frequency is passed through the fluid (30), also in a spatially delayed manner, such that the flow rate, the flow rate profile and the volume percent of one of either constituents (31, 32) can be determined from the Doppler shift between the original and the resulting signal.

Abstract: The wiper holder (22) includes two (or more) supports (24, 28). These hold the wiper rod (20) transversely along the running paper (U). They make running contact with the rod at linear contact regions (K1, K2).  An Independent claim covers a corresponding method of starting the coating unit, in which the wiper holder swings towards the paper. The actuator is used to bring the wiper rod into contact with the paper, or the coating layer applied to it. Preferred features: at least one support is a flexible blade (24). The upstream (relative to paper running direction) support is a continuous transverse full-width wiper blade in metal or plastic. At least one support is a metal or plastic roller (28) with lumpy profile. The downstream support comprises a number of rollers arranged successively along the transverse dimension. These are spaced apart by about 20-300 mm, preferably 100-200 mm. Support roller width is 3-30 mm, preferably 10-20 mm. The adjustment actuator (32) moves only the downstream support against the wiper rod. A drive turns the rod against the running direction of the paper. The wiper rod has a smooth or profiled surface.

IPC: B65H9/00
Filed: 2000-11-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for registering a sheet with an image for transfer thereto. 
     Disposed in the feed path (1) of a sheet is a transport nip (14) for feeding a sheet
and for transversely registering the sheet and image by displacing the transport nip (14)
transversely of the feed direction. On each registration step the transport nip shifts in
said transverse direction to a middle position.

transport nip (14) or the image on an image support (5) into a transverse position such
that a registration step by the transport nip (14) to a middle position can take place and
hence no reset movement of the transport nip (14) is required between successive
registration steps.

Abstract: In the known method, a semiconductor element (1) is provided with two connecting conductors (2, 3) by arranging, preferably a large number of elements (1) between a first and a second conductive plate (5, 6), the two connecting conductors (2, 3) secured at the upper surface and lower surface of an element (1) being formed from the two plates (5, 6). The first connecting conductor (5) is formed from a part (2) of the first plate (5) which borders on an opening (7), and the element (1) is covered with a protective envelope (4). The known method has the drawback that the devices obtained are not always directly suitable for surface mounting. Furthermore, the reliability of the device is sub-optimal. In a method in accordance with the invention, the second connecting conductor (3) of the element (1) is formed by electroconductively securing a part (3B) of the second plate (6) to a further part (3A) of the first plate (5), which further part borders on the opening (7), is situated opposite the part (2) of the first plate (5), and from said further part the second connecting conductor (3) is made. In this relatively simple manner, namely without the necessity of bending the two connecting conductors (2, 3) after the provision of the protective envelope (4), a device is obtained which can suitably be used for surface mounting. In addition, for several reasons the reliability of the device obtained is improved, so that the method can very suitably be used for so-called medium or high-power elements (1).
