Abstract: Transmission series with a variable gear stage (variation stage) consisting of a pair of gearwheels. Within the series, the variation stage encompasses a range of permissible sizes (Bi = B1... Bm) which in each case have the same centre distances (Ai = A1 ... Am). The same range of permissible transmission ratios (Ii = I1... In) is provided for all sizes, so that the centre distances (Ai) and the transmission ratios (Ii) form a matrix (M). The number of components required is substantially reduced by correlating the graduation of the centre distances (Ai) and the graduation of the transmission ratios (Ii) in such a way that the same gearwheel is used in a variation stage sequence (S) comprising a number of variation stage sizes. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In the production of video devices, it is necessary to test the colour chip or the colour chip module for its operability and to compensate for production-related spreads in the operating parameters by individually calibrating the chip. Known test and measuring arrangements are set up with various measuring instruments. These are assembled as required to form a measuring system, as a result of which it is hardly possible to achieve an optimum mode of operation with respect to the measurement analysis and operating speed. According to the invention, a measuring arrangement for calibration and for functional testing of colour chip modules is specified which permits an optimum mode of operation in that the measuring and calibrating arrangement is used for directly and automatically calculating the calibration values from the measured values and supplying these to the calibrating elements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of encoding an image for CD-I players comprises obtaining the pixel information as a first matrix (M1) of 768x560 pixel component values, decimation filtering (1) the first matrix (M1) to produce a second matrix (M2) of 384x560 pixel component values, encoding (2) the second matrix (M2) to produce a first set of DYUV digital data (RDD1) for storage on a compact disc (SM), applying the digital data (RDD1) to a decoder (3) to form a third matrix (M3) of 384x560 pixel component values, interpolation filtering (4) the third matrix (M3) to form a fourth matrix (M4) of 768x560 pixel component values, forming the difference (5) between the first (M1) and fourth (M4) matrices to produce a fifth matrix (M5) of 768x560 difference values and encoding the fifth matrix (M5) as respective multi-bit and/or run length codes (RDD1) for storage on a compact disc (SM). Compatibility with known hardware (the CD-I standard 'basecase' player) is obtained by encoding negative difference values using the quantization levels in the guard range (0-15) below black level (16, on a scale of zero to 255). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is provided for the preparation of ibuprofen by carbonylating 1-(4 min -isobutylphenyl)ethanol (IBPE) with carbon monoxide comprising initially a reaction mixture comprising IBPE, ibuprofen and a catalyst for the carbonylation with carbon monoxide under conditions to initiate the reaction, and continuing to feed carbon monoxide to the composition to produce the desired yield of ibuprofen. Preferably the catalyst comprises palladium and a monodentate phosphine ligand. The presence of ibuprofen in the feed composition when the reaction is initiated with CO makes it possible to obtain high selectivities to ibuprofen with substantially complete conversion of IBPE at much shorter reaction times than if no ibuprofen is present initially.

Abstract: An actuator which includes a memory metal element, a substantially constant force counteracting spring, and an actuated element. The memory metal transforms from a martensite structure to an austenite structure at a known temperature. The martensite structure is more easily deformed than the austenite structure. The force applied by the counteracting spring is sufficient to deform the martensite structure throughout the transformation temperature range but insufficient to deform the austenite structure such that at least a portion of the memory metal strip undergoes a predetermined stroke in response to the transformation of the memory metal strip between the martensite and austenite states. The actuated element is connected to the memory metal element to move therewith. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The float valve (3) proposed has a housing (10) with a chamber (11) containing a valve-closure body (31). The chamber has an inlet (16) for the liquid with which the container is to be filled and an outlet (17) leading into the container. The valve-closure body (31) is joined to a float by a rod (35, 36, 37) and can move back and forth inside the valve chamber (11) between a position which leaves the inlet (16) and outlet (17) open and a position which closes off the outlet (17). In order to ensure that the valve closes rapidly, even when the pressure of the fluid is low, and to prevent the valve from dripping, the invention proposes that the fluid is fed first into a splitter and, from there, into the valve chamber so that it enters the valve chamber at the floor of the chamber round the whole perimeter of the chamber and flows through the chamber uniformly. The valve-closure body (31) lies in a recess (13) in the floor of the valve chamber (11) and, while filling is in progress, lies substantially out of the flow of the fluid, Not until it is lifted out of the recess (13) by the float is the valve-closure body (31) pressed by the flow of fluid towards the closure position.

Abstract: A metal matrix composite material containing discontinuous particles in a metallic matrix is prepared by forming a mixture of the molten alloy and the particles in a closed reactor, removing oxygen from the interior of the reactor, statically pressurizing the interior of the reactor with nitrogen gas, mixing the mixture of the molten alloy and particles in the presence of the static nitrogen gas to wet the molten matrix to the particles, and evacuating the interior of the reactor in a stepwise manner. The nitrogen gas aids in wetting the metallic alloy to the particles by forming aluminum nitride at the particle-molten matrix interface, so that a lower contact angle of the alloy to the particle results. Oxygen that may be present in the sealed reactor is gettered by the aluminum, and the nitrogen is removed by stepwise evacuation, thereby minimizing the introduction of gas into, and retention of gas within, the melt.
