Abstract: The device graphics tablet has two sets of three offset conducting tracks to which a 3-phase alternating electrical field is applied at frequencies between 20 and 60 kHz such that the phase in adjacent tracks differs by 120 degrees. The mouse has a pick-up coil, which detects the signals from the two sets of tracks. The tablet contains electronics to compare the phase of the coil signals with that of the a.c. field and generates a signal which is directly dependent on the mouse position and conforms to standard protocol for mouse interfaces.

Abstract: When fully closed throttle opening learning device
M1 learns a fully closed throttle opening value THMIN on
the basis of an actual throttle opening value TH at an idle
running time, comparison device M2 compares the sum of the
fully closed throttle opening value THMIN and a
predetermined value α with the actual throttle opening
value TH to decide the possibility of the occurrence of
a fault, and fault decision acceptance device M3 decides
the acceptance/rejection of execution of the fault
decision of an idle revolution controlling unit IC on the
basis of the comparison result of the comparison device
M2. As a result, even with a degradation in the output
characteristics of a throttle opening sensor, an
erroneous decision can be avoided by rejecting the
execution of the fault decision when there is a
possibility of an erroneous decision.

Abstract: The invention includes first and second electrical connectors
and a connector position assurance member that is lockable in a pre-staged
position. A first connector includes a pivotally connected pump handle lock
arm positioned to lock on to a nub on the second connector. A connector
position assurance member (CPA) is constructed for slidable movement on the
first connector and includes two forward reaching arms each having a stop on
a lower edge that engage a shoulder positioned on the first connector when the
CPA is in a pre-staged position. In this pre-staged position, a lock arm of the
CPA grabs into the pump handle on the first connector. The stop, shoulder
and lock arm prevent forward or backward slidable movement of the CPA
from this locked pre-staged position. As the first and second connectors are
mated, a ridge on the second connector engages an angled portion of the
forward reaching arms causing the arms to be lifted to raise the stop above the
shoulder on the first connector and allowing the connector position assurance
member to be moved forward to a final assembled position. Locking nubs on
the CPA and the first connector may be positioned to keep the CPA in the
final assembled position.

Abstract: A transmission, particularly an agricultural tractor transmission, has a creep gear
facility whereby speeds under 0.5km per hour are possible without slipping a clutch.
Planocentric gearing (20) is used for the creep gear, selectively clutchable into the
transmission by means of a dog clutch (31). The planocentric gearing comprises an
input eccentric (32) which runs inside an inner ring member (33) carrying external gear
teeth (34). The inner ring (33), in use, oscillates within an outer ring (36) having
interior gear teeth (35) with which the exterior teeth (34) mesh at one point at any
given time. Pins (38) are mounted on the inner ring (33) which are received in
apertures (47) in a stationary reaction member (44). The oscillating motion of the
inner ring (33) is transferred to the outer ring (36) as rotation, at a reduced speed from
the input, giving a reduction ratio of 10:1 or higher in a single stage. The direction of
the drive is preserved from input to output.

Abstract: An intaglio printing method for transferring a resin
to a print receiving material, using an intaglio printing
master having portions depressed in a printing shape below
the surface of the printing master, includes the steps of:
filling a resin paste comprising a resin in the depressed
portions of the printing master, bringing the printing
master, with the resin paste being filled in the depressed
portions thereof, into close contact with the print
receiving material, hardening the resin in the resin paste
in the depressed portions of the printing master, and
separating the printing master from the print receiving
material so as to transfer the hardened resin in the

receiving material. An apparatus for carrying out this
intaglio printing method is proposed. By use of the
apparatus, for instance, an elastic and durable spacer
free from fatigue destruction for a touch panel is can be
prepared in a circulation process.

Abstract: The invention presented describes a distributed payment system
for cash-free payment with purse chip cards using the Net. The
system consists of a client system which is, for example,
installed at the customer site and a server system which is,
for example, installed at the dealer. The client and server
systems are connected over the Net, e.g. the Internet. The
client system consists of a chip card reader, the software
associated with this, a client transaction program and,
preferably, a data processing system. The server system
consists of a security module, a chip card reader device for
the security module, a server transaction program and a client
surrogate program which represents the client system and,
preferably, a data processing system. The most important
advantage of the distributed system is that a payment protocol,
independent of any control centre, can be used economically for
payment on the Net between the purchaser and dealer as well as
for collective billing between the dealer and the purse
settlement office. The use of standard components which are
currently used in local payment terminals means that an
economical design can be reached both in the dealer network
nodes (server system) as well as in the purchaser network nodes
(client system). 
     Payment using an electronic exchange has the advantage over
existing cash-free payment systems in that there is no central
control involved in the payment procedure, total settlement
calculations are possible, a cryptographically secure protocol
is used and anonymous payments are possible.
