Patent DE-19956113-A1 (DE)
Title: Illuminated display device e.g. for motor vehicles, has sensor for detecting ambient brightness and has display brightness divided into three ranges depending on ambient brightness level
Inventor: SCHILLING UWE
IPC: G09G3/20
Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: Illuminated display devices, such as those used in motor vehicles, need to be adapted to the environmental brightness levels, and include a sensor (3) for detecting the environmental brightness, where the display brightness is divided into three ranges, depending on the environmental brightness level. The display brightness for both the first and second ranges can be manually adjusted, and adjustment of the display brightness in the transitional range largely changes linearly with the environmental brightness. The display brightness in the transitional range is additionally dependent on the manually adjusted display brightness of the first and second ranges.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter press for filtering suspensions that comprises a plurality of filter plates (1M, 1K) that can be displaced in parallel with respect to one another. In a filtering position, said filter plates can be compressed to a package that comprises a filter chamber (23) between respective two filter plates (1M, 1K), said chamber being provided with at least one filter cloth (7M, 7K). In a discharge position, adjoining filter plates (1M, 1K) can be moved apart by a discharge distance (3) so that the filter cake adhering to the filter cloth (7K) can be discharged. Every filter chamber (3) is correlated with at least one filling element (2) for feeding the suspension to the filter chamber (23). The aim of the invention is to prevent leakages in the zone of the peripheral sealing edge, to guarantee an unimpaired filter capacity during feeding and to facilitate operation of the filter press without an external supply line and outgoing connection lines. To this end, the filling element (2) is disposed on a joining piece (5) that extends outside a plate level and within a sealing edge (27) on the periphery of the filter plates (1M, 1K) and that can be linked with a filter plate (1M). In the filtering position, the filling elements (2) form a suspension supply channel (22) that extends through the filter plate package and are sealingly wedged between adjoining filter plates (1M, 1K).

Title: Synthesis of a zeolite of structural type EUO, useful for e.g. the preparation of isomerization catalysts for eight carbon aromatic hydrocarbons, with the aid of seeds of another zeolitic material
IPC: B01J29/72
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: The EUO structure zeolite, comprising zeolites EU1, TPZ-3 and ZSM-50, is synthesized in the presence of seeds of another zeolite of a different structural type and/or different chemical composition of the crystal lattice. The synthesis is also carried out in the presence of a structuring agent.  The EUO zeolite comprises an element X (Si or Ge) and an element T, chosen from Fe, Al, Ga, B, Ti, V, Zr, Mo, As, Sb, Cr and Mn. In the synthesis, seeds of a zeolite material comprising an element X<1> (Si or Ge) and T<1> (Fe, Al, Ga, B, Ti, V, Zr, Mo, As, Sb, Cr or Mn) are used, such that X<1> / T<1> is less than 200, this zeolite differing from the EUO zeolite to be prepared.  Independent claims are also included for the EUO zeolites prepared by the process and their uses, and preparation of catalysts containing the zeolites and their uses.

therebetween, only one of the transport guides (12) being
movable in a plane transverse to the surface of the bank
note (38). A piezoelectric sensor (36) is mechanically

Abstract: A regulator circuit (26) operates a switching power supply (10) in
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) by detecting the state of
demagnetization of a transformer (16) of the switching power supply. When a
primary current (I P ) reaches zero the voltage across a drain and a source of a
switching transistor (18) drops off sharply generating a negative spike in
voltage at gate voltage V G . The negative spike in voltage indicates the
transformer of the switching power supply is demagnetized. The negative
spike is detected by a comparator (44). The comparator provides a signal
(DEMAG) to a PWM regulator (46) which provides a first control signal (L c ) to
a first transistor (40), and a second control signal (U c ) to a second transistor
(42). The first and second transistors turn ON and OFF to enable ON the
switching transistor only after the transformer (16) is demagnetized to enable
the switching power supply to operate in DCM.

Abstract: A self-heating container (10) has an internal cavity (22) for its contents and an external cavity (20) for a heating mechanism, for example, comprised of first and second chemically reactive materials which are arranged to be mixed when heating is required. A closure (30) closes the external cavity (20). When the heating mechanism is operated to mix the chemicals and cause an exothermic reaction, vapor, such as steam and hot air, is produced. The vapor is constrained to flow to the exterior of the closure (30) through grooves (62) therein. A sleeve (60) is arranged around the container (10) contiguous to the closure (30) such that the exiting vapor is constrained to flow between the sleeve (30) and the can (10). By this means, a user of the can is protected from coming into contact with the hot steam and air and the heat in the vapor generated can enhance the heating process. Preferably, the sleeve (60) is constructed of an absorbent material, such as a cardboard, to absorb any condensates and this absorbent material is surrounded by an impermeable plastics material to insulate the user from the heat of the reaction.
