Abstract: 5 n7 A driving apparatus for a thermal print head comprises a data supplying circuit (11, 12) for supplying a line of dot data to the thermal print head (13) in each drive cycle, which data specifies which one of heating elements (14) of the thermal print head is (13) used to print a dot, and enabling the thermal print head (13) to energize the heating elements (14) specified by the dot data line for a first energizing time from the time when the dot data line is supplied. In the driving apparatus, a replacing circuit (21, 22) is provided to replace the dot data line supplied to the thermal print head (13) by inverted data of the dot data line supplied in the drive cycle preceded by one cycle when a second energizing time has elapsed from the time at which the line of dot data is supplied from the data supplying circuit (11, 12) to the thermal print head (13), wherein the second energizing time is set to a length suitable for printing a dot by the heating element (14) in a preheated state, and the first energizing time is set longer than the second energizing time by a length suitable for preheating the heating element (14).

Abstract: An air brake system is proposed, which has a high-pressure part (12) and a normal-pressure part (15). In order not to load the compressor (1) unduly, in normal operation the entire system (high-pressure part 12 and normal-pressure part 15) is supplied with the same, low pressure. Only in special cases is the high-pressure part (12) charged with higher pressure. The high pressure can only be reached if the entire system is already under the lower pressure. The air brake system is intended for use in motor vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A distance measuring apparatus includes a pair of first and second image sensors (3, 4), and a pair of first and second memories (8, 9) for successively storing a pair of first and second image signals output from the first and second image sensors (3, 4). A CPU (10) sets a window for the first image signal and compares a reference image signal within the window with the second image signal while shifting these signals relative to each other to thereby arithmetically measure a distance to the object (5). A window memory (13) stores the reference image signal within the window. The CPU (10) further compares the reference image signal within the window memory (13) with first image signals stored in the first memory (8) after a predetermined time, so as to find the most similar first image signal and set a provisional window enclosing it. Displacing the provisional window around it initially set position, the position of the window is updated only when the image signal within the provisional window as displaced exhibits a horizontal symmetry. Thus, the process and hence time for distance measurement can significantly be simplified and reduced while ensuring high accuracy and reliability.

Abstract: This relates to a composite closure (50) which incorporates the conventional closure of the press-on, twist-off type including a metal shell (12) having in the center of an end panel thereof a tamper indicating button (26). The composite closure includes an overcap (54) which is frictionally interlocked with the shell and wherein the shell has been modified so that the curl (52) at the lower edge of the skirt thereof is outturned as opposed to being inturned and the rougher coating for receiving the sealing compound increases the frictional connection between the overcap and the metal shell. In addition, the overcap is provided with a tamper indicating band (66) which is interlocked with the container finish so as to prevent both axial upward movement and circumferential movement of the tamper indicating band relative to the container finish. This permits, with controlled tolerances, an interlocking relation between the composite closure and the container wherein when the composite closure is twisted to remove the same the tamper indicating band will be first released and thereafter the seal between the closure and the container is broken and the tamper indicating button will pop-up in a normal manner.

Abstract: During the spraying of glazing members made of silicate glass with the aid of a thermal spraying process, in particular with the aid of the flame or plasma spraying process, the glazing members are cooled during the spraying process in the region of the surface attacked by the current of flames or, where appropriate, of hot gas. In this way the formation of dangerous tensile stresses, which can lead to the destruction of the glazing members, is avoided. A flame or plasma spraying apparatus for carrying out the process according to the invention comprises a cooling set to be fastened to the spraying torch comprising tuyeres (24) pointing towards the glass surface, which tuyeres are fed with compressed air or another gaseous coolant under pressure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A filter for liquids has a pressurized container in which is arranged a filtering cartridge that can be driven by a vertical shaft and below which is arranged a bottom plate. The edge of the bottom plate rests on an inwardly tapering lower part of the wall of the pressurized container, on a bottom sealing gasket. In order to clean the filter, the bottom plate of the pressurized container is lifted, opening outwardly, and the filtering cartridge is rotated by a drive of the filtering cartridge shaft. The shaft carries an axial channel for leading out the filtered liquid. Below the bottom plate, spaced apart therefrom and parallel thereto is arranged a closure plate the edge of which also rests on the lower part of the wall of the pressurized container, over a closure sealing gasket. The closure plate can be removed with the bottom plate from the lower part of the wall and encloses with the bottom plate a disk-shaped space that communicates with the axial channel and that leads out the filtered liquid through the lower part of the wall of the pressurized container when the bottom plate and the closure plate rest on the pressurized container.

Abstract: Enzyme electrodes with the enzyme enclosed within liposomes, which are preferably supported on or in a membrane and immobilised there, for example in the membrane pores. The liposomes may be made using lipids (especially phospholipids) and conveniently by "reverse phase evaporation". They may incorporate conventional electrode elements, e.g. the Clark electrode pair (Platinum/Silver) and additional membranes or screens, and used particularly in amperometric measurements. They are preferably used near the phase transition temperature of the lipid and give improved selectivity and facility to measure higher concentrations of active components in the analyte. The enzyme is preferably an oxidase (e.g. glucose oxidase) and useful for measurement (directly or indirectly) of low molecular weight species e.g. hydrogen peroxide generated by enzymic action, and effective for study of biological fluids e.g. blood. Also, modified membranes and electrolytic sensors using the liposome-enclosed enzymes.
