Filed: 1994-11-30
Abstract: An adjusting apparatus for one or more headlight reflectors (1) has first and second miter gear mechanisms (4, 12), each of which includes a toothed-gear pair. The reflector can be pivoted about an axis by a rotation device, or knob, on the exterior of the housing.

Title: Polymeric ophthalmic lens with crosslinker containing saccharide residue.
Inventor: MOLOCK FRANK F
IPC: G02B1/04
Filed: 1994-04-11
Abstract: An ophthalmic lens, particularly a soft hydrogel contact lens, is disclosed. The lens can be derived from a crosslinked polymer made by reacting a hydrophilic monomer with a crosslinking amount of a polyfunctional compound containing a saccharide residue. The preferred hydrophilic monomer is actually a mixture of the following individual hydrophilic monomers: a) the reaction product of a free radical reactive monoisocyanate and a monoalkoxy polyalkylether, b) N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and optionally c)hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The preferred polyfunctional compound is a prepolymer derived from an alkoxylated glucose or sucrose. This prepolymer can be made by reacting glucose or sucrose, which has been ethoxylated or propoxylated, with a free radical reactive isocyanate which has been capped. The free radical reactive isocyanate can be capped by reacting it with a polyalkylether, such as polyethylene glycol, and then reacting this intermediate with a diisocyanate. Advantageously, a fluorinated monomer is added to the reactive components from which the crosslinked polymer of the lens is derived. The preferred fluoromonomer is composed of the reaction product of a free radical reactive monoisocyanate and perfluorooctanol. The polymerization is ideally carried out in the presence of an inert diluent, preferably the boric acid ester of polyethylene glycol 400.
Patent EP-0678642-A3 (EP)
IPC: A47L15/42
Filed: 1995-04-05
Abstract: A torsion bar assembly (26) for a dishwasher door (10) having a 
stainless steel torsion bar (30) enclosed in an elongated stainless 
steel tube (32) such that the bar rotates within the tube as the door 
is moved between an open and a closed position. One end of the 
bar and tube are fixedly disposed in a rectangular boss (34) which is 
fixedly attached to the dishwasher door (10); and a second end of the 
tube and bar are releasably disposed in a cylindrical boss (38) which 
is welded to a door hinge (20). The bosses are attached on opposite 
sides of the interior door panel, so that the torsion bar extends 
substantially the width of the door. The torsion bar is 
protected from water by the corrosion-resistant tube (32), and by a 
pair of quad-rings (56) which are disposed in recesses in the 
cylindrical boss. The quad-rings prevent water from seeping 
through the boss and reaching the torsion bar. When the ends of 
the torsion bar are disposed in the bosses, the bar is spaced 
within the tube to permit the bar to rotate independently of the 
tube. This rotation builds up torque in the torsion bar. This 
torque is released when the door is closed, to supplement the 
effort needed to close the door.

Abstract: The track occupation monitoring system uses a redundant processing system coupled to a number of axle counting points (ZP1,...ZP4) along the monitored track section, for counting the number of train axles entering and leaving the latter to supply a track occupation signal used for signalling and/or points switching applications. When one of the axle counting points (ZP2) fails, the adjacent intact axle counting points (ZP1,ZP4) are used as the entry and exit points of a virtual track section (VA) encompassing the track sections (A1,A2) on either side of the failed axle counting point. A change in the occupation condition of the virtual track section is indicated as a change in the occupation condition of the latter track sections.

Abstract: A prepress color proof can be prepared using
suitable donor elements and an intermediate receiver
element that has a roughened outer image receiving
layer so that the color image is transferred with high
image resolution. The intermediate receiver element
can also have a cushioning layer beneath the outer
image receiving layer that reduces the tendency for
entrapped dirt particles to form minus density spot
defects. In addition, a unique carrier plate can be
used to carry the donor and intermediate receiver
elements through laminating equipment. This carrier
plate has a thermoplastic adhesive layer with
sufficient tackiness to prevent irreversible
dimensional change during lamination.

Title: Raumdiversity-System
Inventor: RUDOLPH GEORG
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 1997-07-01
Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Frequenzdversity-Anordnung für den
mobilen Fernsehempfang, die im wesentlichen aus einem speziellen
Empfänger und einer Auswerteschaltung besteht. Die Auswerteschaltung
sucht bei Empfang kontinuierlich nach allen
einstrahlenden Frequenzen des aktuell eingestellten Programms
und bewirkt eine Umschaltung des Hauptempfängers auf jeweils
die Frequenz mit der besten Signalqualität. 
Frequenzdiversity - etwa vergleichbar dem Radio Data System (RDS)
beim Hörrundfunk - hat sich beim Fernsehempfang bisher nicht
durchgesetzt. So ist bei Empfang im bewegten Fahrzeug zumindest
an den Grenzen der Versorgungsgebiete eine Schwächung des
Empfangssignals unvermeidbar, meist verbunden mit verstärktem
Schwund, Mehrwegeempfang und Interferenzen. 
Die Erfindung ermöglicht nun das automatische Erkennen von
Alternativfrequenzen zum aktuell eingestellten Programm, ohne daß
dabei zusätzliche Programmkennungen eingerichtet werden müssen. 
Als Kriterium zum Auffinden der alternativen Frequenzen wird eine
vorhandene, an sich für andere Zwecke dem Nutzsignal hinzugefügte
Senderkennung verwendet (z.B. die VPS-Kennung), bzw. es werden
direkt die Nutzsignale der alternativen Frequenzen mit dem
Nutzsignal des eingestellten Programms verglichen und bewertet.
Zusätzlich werden lokale Standortkoordinaten verarbeitet, so daß
die Auswertung von vornherein auf die gebietsweise zu erwartenden
Alternativfrequenzen beschränkt und der gesamte Steuerungsprozeß
beschleunigt wird. 
Der Steuerimpuls zum Umschalten des Hauptempfängers auf eine andere
Frequenz wird gleichzeitig zum Umschalten des Nutzsignalwegs
zwischen dem Hauptempfänger und dem Empfänger der Diversity-Schaltung
verwendet. Dadurch wird das Nutzsignal während der durch
die Einschwingphase des Hauptempfängers gegebenen Lücke über den
Empfänger der Diversity-Schaltung geleitet. 
Für das Ansprechen der Auswerte- und Steuerungsschaltung und das
Generieren des Umschalt-Steuerimpulses werden Schwellenwerte des
oder der ausgewählten Kriterien der Signalqualität vorgegeben, so
daß bei annähernd gleicher Signalqualität auf den zur Wahl
stehenden Frequenzen des eingestellten Programms ein Hin- und-Herschalten
zwischen den Sendern vermieden wird.

transmission channels and connecting terminals to respective
ones of the plurality of transmission channels via the node
devices. Each node device temporarily stores output packets
by allotting the packets to a plurality of storage areas that

channels, control is performed so as to read out the packet
that has been stored in the storage area that corresponds

is duplicated by being distributed to the plurality of
storage areas that correspond to the plurality of
transmission channels that are to transmit the packet.
