Inventor: LAMM HUBERT DIPL-ING
IPC: B60R22/03
Filed: 1991-09-18
Abstract: An operating device is proposed for members (15) driven by an electric motor, in which members there is a risk of objects or parts of people's bodies being trapped. A signal-processing arrangement (11) evaluates the rotation speed (n) of the electric motor (10) or of a drive (14). The rotation speed is a characteristic variable which has a reference to the operating force of the member (15) which is given by the functional relationship (40, 41) between the rotation speed (n) and the torque (M) of the electric motor (10) or of the drive (14). A temperature sensor (19), which detects a temperature, preferably the winding temperature, occurring on the electric motor (10) and passes said temperature to the signal-processing arrangement (11), is provided for correction of the temperature influence on the characteristics (40, 41). In addition, it is possible to take into account an influence of a variable operating voltage (U) on the characteristic variable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A conference connection between several subscribers (KE-B to KE-D), set up by a first terminal (KE-A) as convener, can be assigned to a second terminal KE-E by operating a special function key ST. For this purpose, a connection to the second terminal is established to begin with from the first terminal, the conference connection being transferred into a hold position with reference to the convener. The prerequisite for assigning this held conference connection is that the two terminals are in a particular configuration with respect to one another. These terminals, for which, for example, a manager/secretary configuration exists, preferably belong to a group of terminals integrated in the communication system, which exhibits so-called key functions. When the special function key ST is operated, the connection existing between the two terminals is released and, at the same time, the second terminal (KE-E) is switched through to the conference connection, the convener status then being allocated to the second terminal. This is done with the prerequisite that the line via which the original conference had been set up is simultaneously connected to the other terminal ("Mulap" line). Thus, the facilities belonging to the convener status (e.g. including further subscribers, temporarily leaving the conference connection) can be activated from the second terminal (KE-E). However, the relevant subscriber is released from the manipulations necessary in connection with the setting-up of the conference connection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The secrecy of data transmitted by an image transmission apparatus can be maintained by performing encoding or decoding in conformity with identification information specifying the apparatus. The image transmission apparatus, which is for dynamically converting the image data accumulated in a memory into an arithmetic code and then transmitting the code, is so adapted that, on the sending side, an initializing table for the purpose of encoding is read out of an initializing ROM based upon an ID specifying the apparatus, and a CODEC 107 performs encoding based upon the table. The encoded data is transmitted via a CCU and is decoded on the receiving side in the same manner as encoding was performed on the sending side. As a result, the secrecy of the contents of the communication can be maintained.

Abstract: A solid state control circuit for storing a preset pattern and discharging a strobe tube in accordance with the preset pattern. A solid state control circuit has a programmable memory comprising a plurality of selective partitioned memory locations, each for storing a separate preset pattern, each said pattern for producing a series of timing pulses for discharging the strobe tube. For example, the patterns may include one, two or three flashes per cycle, depending on operator selection. A transformer in the "flyback" configuration and current mode control for charging the strobe tube circuitry. The current mode control uses "lossless" current sensing to limit current flows within the circuitry. The intensity of the strobe tube discharge is varied as a function of the ambient light. An anti-neoning signal disconnects power from the strobe tube after a discharge for a minimum period of time wherein the minimum period is greater than the period of time during which the connection of any electrical power to the strobe tube would result in neoning.

Abstract: A control system for a lift truck with a telescopic lifting mast is operable to control fluid discharge from the lift cylinders (18, 19) so as to permit a higher lowering speed in the unladen condition than the maximum lowering speed possible in a laden condition. This speeds up load handling operations, especially for container-handling vehicles with tall masts where the time taken to retract the mast is a significant element in the load-handling operation. The control system provides additional discharge conduits (32, 33) and valves (21, 24) which are connected to the lift cylinders (18, 19) when lowering in an unloaded condition.

Abstract: A conveying junction includes upstream and downstream conveyors, and an intermediate conveyor which transfers packages from the upstream conveyor to the downstream conveyor. A drop-off zone is located adjacent an outer edge of the intermediate conveyor. The upstream conveyor has a greater width than each of the downstream and intermediate conveyors, and the width of the intermediate conveyor is less than one-half the width of the downstream conveyor. This tends to ensure that the downstream conveyor receives only packages arranged in single file and having a width less than the width of the downstream conveyor, in order to minimize the risk of jams occurring in downstream turns of the conveyor system. A driven roller can be disposed adjacent and below the outer edge of the intermediate conveyor to accelerate the discharge of the packages.
