Abstract: The invention relates to a slat for a light-protection and/or light-direction device or the like for the exterior façade of a building. Said slat comprises a slat body (1) with a slat shield (2), comprising an exterior or visible side (4) and a back (5), onto which a support panel (3) with a bearing channel (6) is integrally formed to receive a swivel pin around which the slat can be swiveled. The slat further comprises a receptacle (9), formed onto the free longitudinal edge of the slat shield (2), for connecting means to an actuator rod by which the slat can be swiveled around the swivel pin when the actuator rod is longitudinally displaced. The slat shield (2) has an arcuate, curved cross-section and the convex side of the slat shield (2) forms the exterior or visible side (4). The support panel (3) is formed onto the slat in the center area of the concave back (5) and is linked with the slat shield with two opposite exterior walls (8) that include the bearing channel (6). The curved shape of the slat shield (2) with the convex exterior or visible side (4) substantially reduces the slat's susceptibility to soiling The double-sided connection of the support panel (3) via the two exterior walls (8) results in a static stabilization of the slat shield (2) and allows for the possibility of giving it material-saving, slender and pleasant shapes.

Abstract: A fast-locking phase detector includes a first input that receives a first signal, a second input that receives a second signal, and a comparison circuit that generates an output current in proportion to a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal. An operating point circuit selectively maintains a first operating point of the phase detector when a phase of the first signal leads a phase of the second signal, and maintains a second operating point of the phase detector when the phase of the first signal lags the phase of the second signal. The first and second operating points are different from one another. Each of the first and second operating points causes the output current to vary substantially linearly for a predetermined range of both positive and negative phase differences between the first signal and the second signal.

Abstract: A system has a plurality of nodes communicating with each other on a serial data path using dominant and recessive signal levels. A dominant signal level sent on the data path by any of the nodes creates a dominant signal level on the data path irrespective of the number of recessive signal levels sent by other nodes. The dominant and recessive signal levels form a series of bits organized into messages by the nodes. Each sending node senses the signal level on the data path bit by bit, and if different from that sent by that sending node, halts further sending of signal levels by that sending node. A priority value generator in each node provides a priority signal encoding a value whose magnitude indicates a relative priority. A message priority module in each node receives the priority signal, and stores the priority value in predetermined leading bits of the message to be sent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the air conditioning of high-speed vehicles, in particular rail vehicles. According to said method, to observe at least one predetermined limit of at least one air quality value in the vehicle interior (8), fresh air is taken in from the environment of the vehicle and processed additional air is supplied to the vehicle interior (8) via at least one air conditioning device (7), said additional air consisting of a fresh air portion and/or an ambient air portion of the recirculated ambient air from the vehicle interior (8). The air is controlled by means (6) for determining the air quality value, whereby the fresh air portion is kept to a minimum, dependent on the number of passengers carried in the vehicle interior (8), in such a way that a predetermined tolerance range for the air quality value is essentially observed, at least during normal operation without pressure fluctuations. The invention also relates to an assembly for carrying out said method.
