Abstract: The invention relates to an optical module for generating an image by means of incident light in the dark field, the small mounting dimensions required for an SMD pick-and-place machine being fulfilled. This is achieved by inserting a mirror shaft (6) and by appropriate positioning of the light sources (81, 82) with the effect that surfaces of the object (4) or of the machine parts (11) located thereafter, which surfaces are specularly reflecting and located perpendicular to the optical axis (3), appear dark to the sensor (1).   <IMAGE>

Abstract: Specific nucleic acid sequences are amplified through the use of transcribable hairpin probes. The probe comprises a single stranded self-­complementary sequence which, under hybridizing conditions, forms a hairpin structure having a functional promoter region, and further comprises a transcribable sequence extending from the 5′ end of the hairpin sequence and a probe sequence which may be comprised in the transcribable 5′ sequence or in a sequence extending from the 3′ end of the hairpin sequence. The hairpin form of the probe is transcribable in the presence of a suitable RNA polymerase and appropriate ribonucleoside triphosphates (rNTPs). Amplification is accomplished by hybridizing the desired target nucleic acid sequence with the transcribable probe, transcribing substantially only probe which has become hybridized to the sequence of interest, and allowing transcription to proceed until a desired amount of RNA transcription product has accumu­lated. Optional second stage amplification of the RNA transcripts can produce higher levels of amplification. The amplification method is particularly useful in assays for the detection of particular nucleic acid sequences.

Abstract: A FM receiver quickly suppressing defective effect of multipath reflection interference is disclosed. A field strength detecting circuit (8) is responsive to output signals from preceding stage amplifiers (51) in an IF amplifying circuit (5) for detecting the field strength of the received signal. In response to the field strength detecting circuit (8), a soft muting control circuit (10) is operated, whereby a muting circuit (7) gradually mutes the output signal of a detector circuit (6). Furthermore, an alternate current signal detecting circuit (12) detects the alternate current signal component included in the output signal from the field strength detecting circuit (8), whereby the occurrence of multipath reflection interference is detected. In the case of multipath reflection interference, the gain of the succeeding stage amplifier (52) in the IF amplifying circuit (5) is quickly reduced by the alternate current signal detecting circuit (12) to prevent unpleasant noise due to multipath reflection interference from being generated from the speaker.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement for detecting the degree of wetting of a transparent plate, consisting in particular of glass, with droplet-shaped precipitation is proposed which is provided with a radiation guide element which is coupled to the plate, to which on the one hand a radiation transmitter and on the other hand a radiation receiver are assigned and which for the purpose of multiple reflection of the radiations emitted by the radiation transmitter has a reflection means. In such a sensor arrangement, the technical problem of reliably preventing the signal which is supplied by the radiation receiver and has a dependency on the amount of precipitation from being adversely affected by air humidity even in the case of relatively large temperature differences is to be solved. This is achieved in that the reflection means consists of a very thin material layer which is intimately connected to a surface of the radiation guide element extending parallel to the plate and preferably has a surface with a mirror finish. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a spindle head with an arrangement for supplying the respective drilling and/or cutting tools with coolant and/or lubricant, the spindle being provided with an axial passage, fed via an opening of a stationary feed member, for the transport of the coolant and/or lubricant to the working area of the tool, the feed member and the spindle mating coaxially while a gap is formed. In order to reduce the occurrence of leakage flows in the gap and sealing loads associated therewith as well as wear phenomena, the axial passage of the spindle has a larger cross-section than the opening of the feed member. This results in a suction effect like a water jet pump, which suction effect manifests itself in a pressure gradient in the gap, as a result of which the occurrence of leakage flows is counteracted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: There are disclosed a method and an implement for permitting one to precisely know the degree of the brilliance of a diamond, the colors of the light, and so on. A gem (4) to be observed or photographed is placed inside a container (1) having an opening in the top. The gem is so placed in the container that light can enter the container only from directions lying within the range of angles of 20 to 50 degrees about the line vertical to the gem. The gem inside the container is observed or photographed from above the container while directing light into the container from above. As an example, the method is carried out with an implement comprising a container having an opening at the top, a reflecting plate (2) having a hole (3) in its center and disposed above the container such that the light reflected by this reflecting plate enters the container, and a seat portion on which a gem is placed. The seat portion is located substantially in the center of the bottom of the container. The straight line connecting the seat portion with one fringe of the opening forms an angle of 20 to 50 degrees with the straight line connecting the seat portion with the opposite fringe of the opening.

Abstract: An apparatus (14) for controlling an internal combustion engine (12) comprises a transducer (16) which detects acoustic emissions generated by the operation of the engine, and produces an output signal. The output signal is amplified (18), rectified (20) and enveloped (22) to produce an electrical signal. The electrical signal has its direct current component removed (24) to leave the alternating current component of the electrical signal. The AC component of the electrical signal is rectified by a rectifier (26) and the mean level of the AC component of the electrical signal is measured by a measurer (28). An analyser (30) monitors the mean level of the AC component of the electrical signal and sends a feedback signal to an ignition timing device (32) of the internal combustion engine (12). The analyser (30) sends feedback signals such that the mean value of the AC component of the electrical signal lies in the region of a positive peak prior to the occurrence of preignition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sharing a local display signal from a local computer display (10) to at least one remote computer display (20) is shown to include generating a connection (54) with the display server (30) associated with the remote computer display (20) in response to a signal from the local workstation input device (16) generating a remote display signal (62, 64) in relation to the local display signal in response to a second signal from the input device (16), wherein the generation of the remote display signal involves dynamically creating a list of display resources (76, 78) for the remote computer display and generating the remote display signal (90) in relation to the display resources and transmitting the remote display signal to the remote display server (30). Where the local display signal is shared among multiple remote computer displays (20), the generation of remote display signals creates a list of display resources for each of the remote computer displays, which list is updated for each rendering of the local display signal. In such a situation, the remote display signal for each remote computer display is generated in relation to the associated display resources. In one embodiment, the local display signal is a window based display signal, preferably X-windows. The generation of such a window based signal defines a window instance. Graphics contexts are dynamically allocated (86, 88) for each window instance and are stored remotely while identification information is stored locally.
