Abstract: In order to overcome valve play, a rocker arm (2) is supported on a rotationally fixed pivoting shaft (3) with the force-fitting intermediate connection of an eccentric disc (9) and a bush (14) which holds a radial stop (16) on the rotationally fixedly supported pivoting shaft (3) in a cut-out (15) with limited play, the eccentric disc (9) being connected to the pivoting shaft (3) via the spring (11) which acts in the circumferential direction. The eccentricity (e) of the eccentric disc (9) is selected such that, after contact between one of the edges (18) of the cut-out (15) and the stop (16) while the valve is being lifted in operation, a reduction in the transmission ratio of the rocker arm (2) occurs and, in contrast, once the valve has returned to its closed position and after the cessation of the transmission forces, pivoting of the eccentric disc (9) is produced by means of the spring (11) until the valve play is overcome. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the signal path (1) for transmitting the frequency-modulated video signals of a video recorder, an equaliser circuit (9) for equalising luminance discontinuities transmitted is arranged which contains a delay section (10) located in the signal path (1), a subsequent coupling section (11) and a diode switch (20) connected in parallel with the signal output (19) of the delay section. When the oscillation amplitudes transmitted are small, the diode switch is turned off so that the delay section and the coupling section form a band-pass filter (12) tuned to the oscillations transmitted, which stabilises and equalises the oscillations transmitted. In the case of large-amplitude signals, the diode switch and the delay section form a voltage-dependent shift in the delay which steepens the luminance discontinuities again which have been flattened during the transmission. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hybrid television signal of less transmission power or better signal to noise performance is made up by removing low frequency analog components from the video signal, digitizing them and sending them as data in non-active video portions of the transmitted signal. A two step hybridization process, with the first step removing the line averaged value of the video components of the video signal and the second step removing the remainder of the video components under 200 KHz, is described. Temporal filtering, signal pre-emphasis, compression, dispersal and double sideband suppressed carrier modulation about a centered carrier are disclosed for reducing peak signal amplitudes and for minimizing co-channel interference to and from NTSC signals. In an FM implementation, the benefits of the hybrid signal are realized as a reduction in bandwidth and consequent improved noise performance.

Abstract: An optical recording element according to the present invention comprising: (i) a transparent substrate (1) through which light passes; (ii) a transparent low-resistance layer (2) having a specific resistance so as to prevent the adhesion of dust to the surface of the element caused by a static charge, the layer being formed on the surface, on which a light beam is incident, of the transparent substrate; and (iii) an optical thin film (3) composed of at least one layer, formed on the other surface of the transparent substrate so as to transmit light beams used for recording, erasing and playback, and reflect lights which have wavelengths different from the wavelength of the above light beams and are within a specified visible region of the spectrum. With this arrangement, lights within a specified visible region of the spectrum are reflected so that the element appears to be colored according to the wavelengths of the reflected lights. Also, a problem often found in a conventional optical recording element having a transparent substrate of a resin material that the surface of the element is hardened by a light beam, can be solved. Even if a static charge is generated on the surface of such an element, the conductive transparent low-resistance substrate can eliminate the static charge outward whereby a static charge is less likely to be accumulated and the surface can be kept clean in order to improve the reliability.

Abstract: In a process for depositing a planarising material in spaces (5,6) between a pattern of regions (1,2,3), such as dye stripes or dots, on a substrate (4), the planarising material is deposited as a layer (7) over the pattern. The substrate is irradiated, from the reverse side, by a source (8) of radiation, such as UV, to which the pattern material is opaque and to which the planarising material is responsive such that it is rendered insoluble to a particular solvent. The radiation acts on only those parts (9-12) of the planarising material which are in the spaces. The remainder (13-15) of the planarising layer is then removed by use of the solvent. Alternatively, or additionally, an ITO or other UV transparent layer may be formed over the pattern and a layer of resist formed thereover. The radiation then passes through the spaces and acts on only the resist areas over the spaces to render them soluble. Those areas and the ITO layer beneath them are then removed by etching, leaving ITO areas accurately aligned with the pattern. The process may be used in the manufacture of LC displays or semiconductor devices.

Abstract: 1. In known bypass valves, for example in the lubricating oil circuits of internal-combustion engines, the defect often arises that the bypass valves "flutter" and are hence responsible for the emission of considerable noise. 2. This disadvantage is prevented according to the invention in that the movements of the bypass valve are damped by a damping means. In this case, a damping chamber (17) interacts, via a damping gap, with the compression chamber (8) of the fluid to be bypassed in such a manner that, in the event of a bypass movement of the bypass valve, the damping chamber (17) is filled with damping fluid, and is emptied in the case of a closing movement. <IMAGE>
