Abstract: A brake apparatus for a bicycle has a brake lever, brake elements, and an interlocking device extending between the brake lever and brake elements. The interlocking device has an operating force amplifying function to amplify an operating force applied to the brake lever to press the brake elements upon a wheel rim of the bicycle. The brake elements include a rubber-like base material, and a hard friction material mixed at least into surfaces of the rubber-like base material which contact the braked member, in order to cut liquid layers formed between the brake elements and the braked member at wet times. The hard friction material is pressed upon the braked member under the amplified operating force.

Abstract: Two stacking tables (1, 2) are provided and these are followed by two can-body forming stations (5, 6) which, from the sheets stacked on the stacking table, form cylindrical can bodies. These can bodies are then delivered along the feed axis (50) to the welding station, which welds the longitudinal seam of the can. By virtue of the fact that two stacking tables and two can-body forming stations are provided, these elements can operate at half the rate of the welding station. This allows welding to be carried out at a high rate while maintaining reliable feeding of the can bodies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A three-dimensional image is produced using an imaging medium having a lenticular screen, the lenticles of the screen dividing the opposed surface of the imaging medium into a plurality of elongate image areas, the imaging medium having on the opposed side thereof a radiation-sensitive layer, the radiation-sensitive layer comprising a color-forming composition adapted to undergo a change of color upon increase in the temperature of the radiation-sensitive layer above a color-forming temperature for a color-forming time. The radiation-sensitive layer is imagewise exposed to actinic radiation which does not pass through the lenticular screen, thereby causing the color-forming composition to undergo its change in color in exposed areas and to form in the radiation-sensitive layer a composite image, the composite image comprising, in each of the image areas, a plurality of image strips extending lengthwise along the image area, each of the image strips containing information from a view of the object, each of the plurality of image strips in one image area containing information from a different view of the object thereby forming a copy of the composite image in the radiation-sensitive layer, so that a three-dimensional orthoscopic image of the object will appear to an observer seeing the composite image in the radiation-sensitive layer through the lenticular screen.

Abstract: Elongate hollow profile of predetermined length of a thermoplastic. The hollow profile consists of at least two sub-profiles which have constant sub-profile cross-section over the hollow profile length and joint regions associated with one another. The sub-profiles consist of a plastic which is extrudable with low tolerance by the cooled-die extrusion process. They are produced by cooled-die extrusion with low sub-profile cross-sectional tolerances. After the cooled-die extrusion, the sub-profiles are joined non-displaceably to one another with the aid of the joint regions in the longitudinal direction of the hollow profile and governed by the two further spatial coordinates. The lengths of the individual sub-profiles are matched to one another before joining to form the elongate hollow profile such that the elongate hollow profile runs straight or with a given curvature and/or with predetermined torsion about the hollow profile longitudinal axis. A process for production is also specified.

Abstract: A television signal to be equalized to compensate for transmission channel frequency and phase irregularities includes a test signal. A difference signal representing the difference between the average (DC) value of the test signal and a DC reference component of the television signal is obtained (20), and a predetermined portion of the test signal is FFT transformed (18). A ratio of a desired DC difference to the obtained DC difference as represented by the difference signal is developed (24). A ratio of a desired frequency response to a frequency response indicated by FFT transformed values, excluding DC, also is developed. Values associated with the two ratios are inverse FFT transformed (28), and the transformed values are used to control the parameters of an FIR filter (30) for equalizing the television signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical parametric oscillator and an optical parametric amplifier in which oscillator and amplifier parametric interaction is obtained with broadened phase tuning as regards the signal and idler frequencies generated, and this is so in a completely static manner (contrary to the prior art). In order to do this, physical conditions of the interaction are fixed. This may involve a given spacing of the grating recorded in the non-linear material in which the interaction takes place, for a precise pump wavelength. This may also involve a particular orientation of the non-linear material with respect to the direction of the pump beam whose wavelength is matched to the parametric interaction over a wide range of frequencies. Application: tunable-frequency optical power source. <IMAGE>
