Abstract: Three flat current distributors (1, 2, 3) are produced by stamping from a flat plate, on which current distributors there are in each case formed a large number of lugs (5, 6, 7), which are bent through 90 DEG . The earth-current distributor (1) is angled in a stepped manner in its part which has no lugs (5) and is then offset upwards by the height of this step, and is inserted into an injection mould together with the other current distributors (2, 3), whose position is unchanged after stamping out, in which injection mould all the current distributors (1, 2, 3) have plastic material injected around them, which plastic material forms a final housing part of the socket, in which housing part the current distributors are located at a small distance from one another because of the insulation by means of the plastic material, and the lugs (5) of the earth-current distributor (1) stand higher than all the other lugs (6, 7) because of the offset by the said step. In consequence, contact sockets (16) of the same design can be plugged onto all the lugs (5, 6, 7) by means of a spring (17) connected to the said contact sockets. The process allows highly economic, cost-effective manufacture, which can be automated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: For the user guidance of a terminal, it is known always to output the same operating instructions, for example on a screen, in an order which is correct for the handling, independently of prior knowledge of a user. 
<??>To make a user guide more flexible for different users, an adaptive user guidance is made possible in dependence on user data determined during the operating sequence, which are compared with stored reference data. 
<??>The period of time is measured which elapses from the output of an operating instruction to the execution of an operating process by the user and the number of operating errors per operating instruction is determined. The data found are compared with reference data which characterise an average user. A user graded as untrained (that is to say below average) then receives more detailed operating instructions than an average user and a user graded as trained (that is to say above average) receives fewer or no operating instructions in the output.

Abstract: An inclined rectangular pattern generating system includes a lengthwise straight line generator coupled to receive an inclined angle information for generating X- and Y- direction increment/decrement signals indicative of a coordinate change component between a dot being currently written to the memory and a dot to be next written to the memory, these dots being adjacent to each other and being included in a string of dots which form a lengthwise straight line in parallel to a lengthwise side of the inclined rectangular pattern to be generated. There is also provided a widthwise straight line generator coupled to the inclined angle information for generating X- and Y- direction increment/decrement signals indicative of a coordinate change component between a starting dot of a lengthwise straight line being currently written to the memory and a starting dot of another lengthwise straight line to be next written to the memory. A dot controller is coupled to the lengthwise and widthwise straight line generators and operates in such a manner that when the lengthwise straight line generator indicates a coordinate change both in X- and Y- directions and when the widthwise straight line generator indicates a coordinate change both in X- and Y- directions, the dot controller causes the dot information writing circuit to write a dot information to a memory location of a display memory corresponding to a coordinate which changes only either in the X-direction or in the Y-direction from the coordinate to which the dot information has been written just before.

Abstract: In a coherent M-ary PSK demodulator, an M-ary PSK detector (1) demodulates a received M-ary PSK modulated convolutional code with a carrier recovered by a voltage-controlled oscillator to produce first and second channels of demodulated convolutional codes. A convolutional decoder (7) decodes the signals of the first and second channels while correcting bit errors. An error rate detector is provided for detecting when the number of such errors occurring during a specified period of time is smaller than a predetermined value and generates a signal indicating that the convolutional decoder (7) is synchronized with the demodulated signals. The power levels of signal and noise components of the demodulated channels are detected by a power detector (11). In a frequency control circuit, a series of VCO control signals of a different value are generated as candidates for precise synchronization in response to the signal from the error rate detector in order to synchronize the PSK detector (1) successively at the candidate frequencies, and signal-to-noise ratios are successively derived from the outputs of the power detector (11). A maximum value of the derived signal-to-noise ratios is then detected and one of the candidate VCO control signals which corresponds to the detected maximum signal-­to-noise ratio is adopted as a valid VCO control signal.

Abstract: In an optical device such as, e.g., an optical communications coupler or an optical gyroscope, a substrate-supported waveguide is aligned with a device component such as, e.g., an optical fiber or a photodetector. Optical alignment of such component (61) relative to the waveguide (64) is facilitated as the component is located in a preferentially etched groove (31) in the substrate supporting the waveguide (11). In the case of an optical fiber connection, optical coupling is facilitated by a ledge structure (41) overhanging a sloping etched wall of a groove holding the fiber (14). In the case of a photodetector, an etched groove may be essentially perpendicular to the direction of light propagation.

Abstract: In a guidance system for guiding an automated vehicle (2,3) around an area (18) such as a warehouse, a scanning laser beam from a source (14,15) mounted on the vehicle impinges upon reflectors (13) located round the area. Each reflector incorporates an optical code which identifies that reflector. Laser light reflected back to the vehicle from the reflectors is used to control the movement and heading of the vehicle. The area is divided notionally into a number of equal sub-areas (19) of predetermined dimensions, each having at least two differently-coded reflectors. The vehicle is first moved to a position (24) from which it can scan initialisation reflectors (21,22,23) located at selected initialisation positions. The navigation system determines the initial position of the vehicle relative to the initialisation reflectors and, during subsequent movements of the vehicle around the area, measures the distances and directions travelled by the vehicle from the initial position so that the navigation system can determine in which sub-area the vehicle is located at any instant. Because the system always knows in which sub-area the vehicle is located, it is not necessary for every reflector to have a unique code, so some duplication of codes around the area can be tolerated, thereby increasing the number of available reflectors for a given number of code elements.

Abstract: A driver circuit for driving a piezoelectric element (P), including a charging circuit having a DC power source (E) and a coil (L) for charging the piezoelectric element, and a discharging circuit for discharging the piezoelectric element. When the piezoelectric element is charged, a first switching device (TR1) in the charging circuit is held on until a voltage of the element reaches a predetermined level below a line voltage of the power source. A second switching device (TR2) provided in the discharging circuit is turned on at the time when the first switching device is turned off or at a predetermined later time, and is turned off by the time when said first switching device is again turned on next activation of the piezoelectric element. A voltage limiter (D1, D2) inhibits the voltage of the piezoelectric element element from exceeding the predetermined level. The driver circuit may be used for a dot-matrix printer, which may be adapted to discharge the piezoelectric element for a comparatively long time where a distance between adjacent two dots to be formed is larger than a predetermined value.
