Abstract: The method involves forming each conductor rod (20) from partial conductor rods (22) from conductive material. The partial conductor rods comprise uniform bents (24), in respectively the top and bottom positions. The bents of the partial conductor rods are displaced in longitudinal direction, so that an interval (25) is produced to the partial conductor rods lying under it. The method involves forming each conductor rod (20) from partial conductor rods (22) from conductive material, lying in pairs on each other, and running through the stack from a top position diagonally to a bottom position. The partial conductor rods comprise uniform bents (24), in respectively the top and bottom positions, whereby the bents of respectively two adjacent partial conductor rods associated in a pair, are displaced in longitudinal direction in a predetermined distance to bents of a following or preceding pair of partial conductor rods. The partial conductor rods are arranged in sideways adjacent stacks (26), whereby the partial conductor rods are staggered respectively with the sideways adjacent partial conductor rods, which assures, that each partial conductor proceeds segmental and alternately along a side facing a rotor and a side averted from the rotor. The bents of the partial conductor rods are displaced in longitudinal direction, so that an interval is produced to the partial conductor rods lying under it. An Independent claim is provided for a conductor rod manufactured after this method.

Abstract: An imaging device comprises a semiconductor substrate including an array of pixel cells. Each pixel cell comprising an individually addressable pixel circuit for accumulating charge resulting from radiation incident on a pixel detector. The pixel circuit and the pixel detector can either be implemented on a single substrate, or on two substrates bonded together. The charge storage device can be a transistor, for example one of a pair of FETs connected as a cascode amplification stage. An imaging plane can be made up of one imaging device or a plurality of imaging devices tiled to form a mosaic. The imaging devices may be configured as a slot for certain applications, the slit or slot being scanned over the imaging plane. Control electronics can include addressing logic for addressing individual pixel circuits for reading accumulated charge from the pixel circuits. Imaging optimisation can be achieved by determining maximum and minimum charge values for pixels for display, assigning extreme grey scale or colour values to the maximum and minimum charge values and allocating grey scale or colour values to an individual pixel according to a sliding scale between the extreme values. Scattered radiation can be detected and discarded by comparing the detected pixel value to a threshold value related to a minimum detected charge value expected for directly incident radiation and discarding detected pixel values less than said threshold value.

Abstract: The system for controlling oxygen flow in a gasification process of the instant invention comprises a suction control valve located between the oxygen source and the oxygen compressor. The suction control valve is adapted in order to open to deliver oxygen from the source to the compressor through the first pipe and to move to a reduced flow position to prevent excess delivery of oxygen from the source to the compressor. The system also comprises a second pipe which operably connects the oxygen compressor to a port of a gasifier. The system comprises a normally closed vent valve located between the oxygen compressor and the port of a gasifier. The system comprises a means located in the gasifier or in the gasifier effluent for detecting when it is necessary to change the oxygen flow to the gasifier and to actuate the suction control valve sufficient to change the oxygen flow. Finally, the system comprises a means for a means of controlling the suction control valve and the vent valve to regulate the quantity of oxygen delivered to the gasifier.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fishing rod accessory having simple design which is connected to a traditional float (1). As a result, a cast bait can be lifted or lowered, as if by remote control, by corresponding movements of the fishing rod. The inventive accessory consists of a hollow body (4) which can be rapidly flooded via the two end openings (for the fishing line (3) to be passed through), and a (submersible) ball (6) lodged inside the hollow body (4). Said ball (6) frees the passage of the line (3), when the hollow body (4) is in horizontal position, by rolling into a trough-shaped hollow, whereas it blocks this passage after swinging around an axis (5a) (i.e. in vertical position) by jamming, together with the line, in the circular and funnel-shaped outlet opening, when the position in question is stabilized (until the next fishing rod) manoeuvre).

Abstract: A mobile station in a wireless communication network registers periodically with the network by sending a registration message to the network on a control channel. After a predetermined consecutive number of registration attempts are made by the mobile station without a registration response from the base station, the mobile station leaves the current control channel and searches for a new control channel on which to acquire service. After acquiring service on the new control channel, the mobile station can register with the network to recover service.

Later the register set (72) may be retrieved from the nonsecure store (71) and cryptographically authenticated, and restored to its location within the secure housing of postal security device (20, 40, 44). In this way, the postal security (20, 40, 44) may provide service under more than one distinct meter license (32, 52a, 52b, 52c). In a related embodiment, a single meter license (32, 52a, 52b, 52c) is associated with more than one postal security device (20, 40, 44), each with its own secure housing.

Abstract: An ocular biometer utilizing a light emitting source (7) and corresponding optics to illuminate areas of the eye in order to analyze the wavefront of t he reflected light. Aperture sharing elements, such as "hot mirrors" (4) are us ed to allow the eyes (1) to view the world, as the ocular biometer measures various characteristics of the eye such as the refractive (i.e., accommodative) state, the gaze angle and the pupil diameter at any instant o f time and continuously. Optical wavefront conditioning and wavefront sensing techniques are used to determine the refractive power of the eye and the instantaneous accommodative state. Reflected light is projected through a reticle (26) or plurality of reticles (26, 28). Spatial characteristics of t he resulting shadow pattern uniquely determine the characteristics of the eye. These shadow patterns can be measured directly or by causing a modulation of  the lines with a second identical reticle placed appropriately between the first and the imaging plane. The bright pupil and a Purkinje image may be us ed to compute the gaze angle (or, line-of-sight). A bright pupil on a dark background will provide the pupil diameter measurement. The ocular biometer can be configured in a binocular manner so that both eyes can be investigate d simultaneously for strabismus, stereopsis and convergence measurements. The depth of modulation of the modulated shadow pattern provides an indication o f the acuity of the ocular media and the retinal surface thus providing a mean s for screening such medical anomalies as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts.
