Abstract: The espresso coffee machine is provided with an outlet opening (26) for the prepared beverage and with a standing plate (12) arranged below the outlet opening (26) at a distance (X) and on which a collecting receptacle (27) receiving the beverage can be stood. Underneath the standing plate (12), a collecting space (2) for excess liquid is provided. Provided between the standing plate (12) and the appliance base (1) is a mechanical height-adjusting mechanism making it possible to change the distance (X). According to the invention, the standing plate (12) is supported on the appliance base (1) via an intermediate collecting bowl (6). The collecting bowl forms the receiving space (2) for the excess liquid and is detachably connected to the appliance base (1). The standing plate (12) is also detachably connected to the collecting bowl (6). The height-adjusting device works on the basis of a screw drive (11, 16), which operates either between the appliance base (1) and the collecting bowl (6) or between the collecting bowl (6) and the standing plate (12). In the first case, appliance base (1) and collecting bowl (6) are movable relative to one another and in the second case collecting bowl (6) and standing plate (12) are movable relative to one another. By this means, simple handling of the height-adjusting device with a large number of different positions is achieved, and at the same time easy cleaning of the collecting space (2) is possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A surgical method for removing cataracts from the eye by disrupting them but minimizing the danger of piercing neighboring tissue through the use of a phaco-shield (30). The phaco-shield has two flexible flaps (23) which are guided by a Y-shaped wire guide (26) to surround the nucleus of the lens (11). A disrupting probe (40) is inserted through a central opening (24) in the base (22) of the phaco-shield to break up the cataract nucleus (16). The flaps are of a length to cover the end of the probe prior to the probe's contact with the posterior capsule (21) in order to prevent damage to the capsule.

Abstract: A process for operating a remotely controllable locking system in a dialog process with a portable key unit and a lock unit, in which the codes (n, x, y, y+1) represent the signal (1, 2, 3) of an alternate code. Initially a first signal (1) is transmitted to the lock receiver, this signal being modulated with a first, currently valid code (n) formed in accordance with a first algorithm. If its computer (E) recognises the first code (n) received as valid, the lock unit then transmits a second signal (2) to the key receiver, this signal being modulated with a second code (x). If its computer recognises the code (x) received as valid, the lock unit transmits a third signal (3) to the lock unit, this signal being modulated with a third code (y) formed in accordance with the first algorithm. The lock unit operates the lock if its computer recognises the third code received as valid.

Abstract: Un système lithographique utilisant un balayage ligne par ligne est modifié pour que la durée de l'illumination (modulation de la dose) pour chaque pixel particulier soit modulée entre les valeurs correspondant à l'éclairage plein normalement utilisé et à l'éclairage coupé. Par exemple, trois niveaux d'intensité des pixels sont prévus, à 100 %, 70 % et 30 % (en plus de l'éclairage coupé, c'est-à-dire 0 %). Les pixels à 30 % et à 70 % sont utilisés le long du bord d'un motif pour tracer le bord (52, 54) lorsque celui-ci est entre les lignes du réseau cartésien de balayage. Ainsi les bords du motif sont réalisés hors du réseau sans qu'il y ait besoin d'effectuer plusieurs passages. Cette modulation de la dose des pixels utilise trois lignes de retard préréglées (30) déterminant la durée d'exposition pour chaque pixel l'un après l'autre, en fonction de l'information contenue dans un fichier mémoire ayant une profondeur de deux bits ou davantage associée au motif à écrire. En plus, les emplacements centraux des pixels sont déplacés directement du réseau en déviant le faisceau lorsqu'il balaie certains pixels disposés le long des bords des motifs. On peut modifier d'une manière contrôlée l'importance de la déviation, pour réaliser différents emplacements constituant des bords. Cette déviation est utilisée elle-même ou en combinaison avec la modulation de la dose et elle est assurée par un dispositif de déviation électrostatique dans la lentille du faisceau pour un système à faisceau électronique.

Abstract: In an electrosurgical generator having a self-tuning oscillator which includes a switching device and a resonant output network connected between the switching device and a supply rail, an oscillator feedback circuit feeds to the switching device a switching control pulse signal for separately switching the switching device to its "on" state whilst the voltage across the device is decreasing, the phase of the "on" point being dynamically variable such that the "on" time of the device is adjusted so as to regulate the amplitude of the voltage thereacross. This allows reverse conduction of the switching device to be avoided, giving improved efficiency.

Abstract: The advertising support consists of a stowage space (3) with an opening top and an inflatable advertising support (11) stowed inside it which, when the top of the stowage space (3) is opened, can be inflated upwards from it. In the stowage space (3) there is a scissors structure (7,17) which can be erected by a motor and forms a stable-sided parallelogram which is free-standing and, in the expanded position, extends along the internal height of the inflated advertising support (11). It ensures that, when the scissors structure (7,17) is retracted and the advertising support (11) is deflated at the same time, said advertising support (11) is substantially folded down onto its original base area and prevented from tipping sideways by the lateral stability of the scissors structure.
