Abstract: Apparatus for accurately determining the width of a traveling document in which respective groups of LEDs (34a-34p and 48a-48p) are disposed along a line extending transversely of the path of document travel inwardly from points spaced by a distance greater than the maximum document width. The groups of LEDs (34a-34p and 48a-48p) and respective strip photodiodes (36 and 50) associated therewith are disposed on opposite sides of the path so that a document travelling along the path partially blocks respective LEDs of said groups. The LEDs are sequentially energized one by one from one end of the group to the other. The completely unblocked energized LEDs are counted and the percent blocked of the partially blocked LED is determined to permit an accurate width measurement to be calculated.

Abstract: Sonde endocavitaire à insertion (10) utilisée en imagerie par résonance magnétique dans une zone à examiner dans une cavité de l'organisme, notamment le côlon. Elle possède une tige allongée dont l'extrémité proximale porte une poignée (18) tandis que l'extrémité distale porte une structure à ballonnet gonflable (16). La structure à ballonnet possède un ballonnet extérieur (26) contenant une bobine exploratrice (20) du type à boucle reliée à un réseau d'interface (12). La bobine est intercalée entre deux ballonnets intérieurs gonflables séparément (22 et 24) et, lors de l'introduction de la sonde, on peut optimiser le positionnement de la bobine par rapport à la zone à examiner par gonflage différentiel des ballonnets intérieurs de manière appropriée. La sonde possède également un mandrin allongé (56) insérable entraînant, par sa rotation, un mouvement de torsion du type orbital de la structure à ballonnet située sur l'arbre, ce qui permet d'orienter la sonde en fonction des courbes et détours de la cavité dans laquelle on l'introduit. Selon une variante de réalisation de la sonde, le mandrin peut servir à faire tourner simultanément la bobine et les ballonnets intérieurs à l'intérieur du ballonnet extérieur, afin d'optimiser le positionnement angulaire in situ de la bobine.

Abstract: Semiconductor lasers (1) monolithically integrated on a substrate (2) and having a branched structure cavity (41) are known. According to the invention, such a laser forms part of an optical arrangement and is optically controlled by means of a light source (14) having a variable optical power (PE), for example a second semiconductor laser (14). When this laser is operated by an operating current (or by several operating currents), so that it is laser-active and emits coherent light, its emitted wave length (μ1 or μ2) can be switched by the light of the light source depending on the latter's optical power (PE). When this laser is operated by one or several operating currents so that it is not yet in its laser-active state, it can be switched into its laser-active state, in which it emits coherent light, by the light of the light source. In both cases, many applications are possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a support-free vegetation mat (10), in particular for cultivating roofs with greenery. In the prior art, pre-cultivated, support-free pieces of vegetation in the form of sods or rolled turf are known, in the case of which they are held together by the intensive root network of the grasses. Impairments occur, however, during transportation and storage as a result of the pressure loading to which the vegetation is subjected and the exclusion of air in the rolled-up state. A further critical disadvantage lies in the fact that types of plants which do not take root in such an intensive manner, e.g. succulent types of plants (Sedum), cannot, without supports, be produced and laid in a state in which they are held together. In such cases, the prior art takes as precondition, for cultivation and transportation, a support insert for the vegetation mats, this resulting, inter alia, in considerable environmental problems, sometimes high costs, and defective points with no vegetation. The invention remedies this in that it provides a stackable, dimensionally stable backing (12) which has bent-up borders (14) and in which the vegetation mat can be transported in the cultivated state and, upon laying, can be separated from the same by pushing or drawing off. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The control device (1) of a suction system for the simultaneous suction of a plurality of machines or the like has a chamber (3) with additional-air inlet (4), which chamber is arranged in the suction hose and in which there is mounted, as blocking-off member, a flap [lacuna] about a chamber-side axis by means of lifting member into the opening and closing position for the exhaust-air cross-section and the additional-air inlet. This flap is constructed as a main flap (5) which is pivotable into an open and a closed position and said main flap (5) is connected, on the one hand, to a lifting member (7) in the form of a pneumatic or electromagnetically controlled cylinder which pivots said main flap into the open position freeing the suction hose (2) and, on the other hand, to a tension spring (30) which pivots the main flap (5) into the closed position blocking off the suction hose (2). Said main flap (5) is assigned an additional-air flap (9) which is coupled to a cable pull (31) with integrated tension spring (32) and a damping member (20) in the form of a gas spring, which cable pull acts on the main flap (5) and on the additional-air flap (9) and moves the additional-air flap (9) in dependence on the main flap (5) into the closing position blocking off the additional-air inlet (4) and into a pendulum position. <IMAGE>

This is achieved in that a switchable holding device (5.1; 5.2...) is provided for each printing plate which can be made available in the magazine.
