Abstract: A digital signal recording method and
apparatus for recording digital signals of two channels
along tracks (Ta, Tb) on a magnetic tape (14) in a
helical pattern by employing at least two pairs of
rotary heads (Wa, Wb; Ra, Rb) mounted on a rotatable
drum (12) oppositely to each other and by making use of
a read-after-write function, the paired heads (Wa, Wb;
Ra, Rb) being disposed adjacent to each other. The
input signal (32) to be recorded is compressed such that
the digital signal recording period for each relevant
track (Ta, Tb) is shortened by a ratio (w/αa; r/αb)
corresponding to a time for which a write period for one
track and a read period for adjacent one overlap each
other. The write period and the read period are thus
prevented from overlapping. The reproduced signal for
the read-after-write function is prevented from being
masked by an input signal recording current.

Abstract: A cover for venting gases from thin metal film battery cells having vents disposed at the center of one end of the cells. The vents comprise cylindrical wells (72) that recess into, and substantially fill, the top portions of battery cell cavities within a battery housing. The cavities are sized to hold the battery cells securely and are configured to provide an electrical serial connection. The wells include pipes (71) which extend outward from the bottom of the wells and lead from openings in the bases of the wells. The openings in the pipes are covered with flexible valve caps (77) and well lids (78) cover the wells. The center point arrangement of the recessed wells permit gases from the battery cells to escape through the openings, yet restrict the electrolyte from exiting the housing. The base of the battery housing does not have vent openings and is interchangeable with the cover so that the battery housing may be oriented with the terminals near the top or the bottom of the case.

Abstract: Modules that can be impinged upon by compressed air are arranged in front of and behind a box-shaped spar, whereby the modules have an airtight top skin and an airtight bottom skin and first plates that can transmit thrust are disposed therebetween. Each first plate has a console on each side. The console extends along the entire length of a profile of a wing. One to two flexible tubes that are airtight and only slightly extensible are inserted between two such consoles. When the tubes are subjected to pressure, they cause the first plates to move substantially parallel to each other and provide the wing with a desired camber. An aerodynamic profile is defined by rigid sheeting, whereby the sheeting is secured to the top skin, bottom skin, and the sheet in an articulated manner by the second plates that are provided with hinges. An on-flow edge of the wing has two airtight and only slightly-extensible flexible tubes, which, when inflated in an appropriate manner, provide the on-flow edge with the required shape. An off-flow edge of the wing is open.

Abstract: The invention relates to a yarn tension device, especially a two-disk brake for textile threads (4) running off of creels (1), comprising two pairs (32, 33) of brake disks through which the same thread passes. The upper and lower disks (32', 33', 32', 33') of these pairs are adjustably pressed together in order to tense the thread (4) passing through, by means of a two-armed disk lever (17). Said lever is located underneath the pairs (32, 33) of brake disks, from which location it can influence the pressure loads of one of the disk pairs (32, 33) with one lever arm (17', 17') respectively. The yarn tension device also has a pressure regulating device which acts on the disk lever (17). The aim of the invention is to provide a device of this type which can be used for fine threads with pressure forces starting from zero and for coarser threads with much greater pressure forces, without having to change the pressure-regulating device or its springs (20). To this end, the two-armed disk lever (17) is able to raise the lower disks (32', 33') of the pairs (32, 33) of brake disks out of an operating position in which the upper disks (32', 33') are subjected to practically no pressure and the pressure-regulating device acts on the disk lever (17) with a rocking lever (15). Said rocking lever has working points of an actuating power-producing element (20) which are situated at different distances from the disk lever (17).

obtained. 
     An intermediate arm 60 is fixed to a lock spring 54 attached to a
button 28. Facing walls 68 of leg portions 66 of the intermediate arm
60 face distal ends of horn pieces 26 of an ejector 22. In the locked
state, a predetermined clearance 72 is formed between the facing walls
68 and protrusions 70 of the horn pieces 26. Accordingly, even if a
tongue plate 20 is moved further in the direction of the arrow A, the
facing walls 68 are not moved in the direction of the arrow A. The
button 28 is not moved in an unlocking direction (the direction of the
arrow A), either, and movement of a latch 48 in a disengaging direction
(the direction opposite to the arrow B) is certainly prevented. As
protrusions 38 can be formed in a small size, a buckle 10 is formed in
a small size, and the buckle 10 can be manufactured at lower cost.
