Patent EP-0549962-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KAISER OTMAR
IPC: A43B13/20
Filed: 1992-12-17
Abstract: A sole with a sole plate (1), on the outsole side of which inflatable tubular elements (6, 7, 8) are fastened. The sole plate contains, as a result of upwardly standing lateral support walls, an installation space (10), into which inflation openings (17) of the tubular elements open. Also accommodated in the installation space (10) is a valve housing and a miniature pump, from which connection lines (19) run to the inflation openings (17). Provided in the region of the inner and of the outer sole edge as well as in the heel region are tubular elements (6, 7, 8), which can be inflated separately from one another, so that the tread action of a shoe equipped with the sole can be adjusted individually. The tubular elements contain in their interior a longitudinal partition, by which the interior is divided into two air chambers which are interconnected by at least one opening in the longitudinal partition. As a result, better tread action and increased dimensional stability of the tubular elements are achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A radio transmission system for a touch trigger probe (10) for machine tools or coordinate measuring machines is described. In the transmitter shown in Fig 1, a 1kHz oscillator (16) produces a signal which is phase modulated by an electronic switch (14) and an inverter (28), when electrical contacts (11) within the probe (10) change state. This phase modulated signal is mixed in a mixer (24) with an unmodulated 500Hz reference signal, produced in a divider (18) from the oscillator (16), so that there is a precise phase relationship between the two signals. The receiver shown in Fig 2 has filters (38, 42) which separate out the 500Hz reference signal and the phase modulated 1kHz signal. A decoder (44) phase demodulates the 1kHz signal, using the 500Hz signal as a reference in order to increase the reliability of the resulting signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a stream of digital data provides a set of linear prediction coefficients {a 1 } and a prediction error sequence (v(k)) representing a block of data. An input data stream (y 1 (k)) is fed to a parameter estimator (30) which estimates the mean input level (Y), linear prediction coefficients ({â 1 }) and gain (g) which are quantized by a parameter quantizer (28) to provide corresponding quantized  parameters ,  and  . An unquantized zero mean input data sequence (y(k)) is produced by a summer (14) receiving (Y) and a delayed version of the input data stream (y 1 (k)). The sequence (y(k)) and the output sequence      from a pth-order predictor (26) are compared (16) to produce an unquantized, unscaled error sequence (u(k)) that is scaled (18) and quantized (20) to provide the prediction error sequence (v(k)). The number of bits (B) is this quantization (20) is controlled (21) in accordance with a control signal (XMTDTA) representing the relationship between a threshold (54) and an error signal (Σ) from comparison (52) between the input data stream (Y 1 (k)) and a reconstruction (40) from the parameters       
and the prediction error sequence (v(k)).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for in-situ ultra-high frequency broadband testing. This device comprises a pane (3) of flexible plastic whose upper metallised face (30) carries, by etching, a probe (37) linked, by a coplanar ultra-high frequency line, to an output connector (4). The pane (3) rests, via the portion of its lower face opposite the probe, on an ultra-high frequency line (2) of the circuit to be tested (2, 1, 10). An elbow (6) makes it possible to clear the remainder of the device for testing the surface of the circuit to be tested. The thickness (e) of the pane (3) is determined so as to ensure sufficient pick-up coupling of the probe with the electromagnetic wave radiated by the line (2). The invention applies to in-situ testing of ultra-high frequency, especially millimetre wave, circuits. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention a pour but de détecter la pression d'un pneu indirectement et d'améliorer la précision de cette détection. On prévoit à cet effet un capteur de vitesse servant à émettre un signal correspondant à la vitesse de rotation du pneu, ainsi qu'un contrôleur électronique destiné à recevoir un signal provenant du capteur de vitesse et à agir de façon prédéterminée. Le contrôleur électronique mesure la vitesse de roue sur la base d'un signal de sortie provenant d'un capteur de vitesse, effectue une analyse de fréquence de la vitesse de roue ainsi mesurée, et calcule les fréquences de résonance dans les directions verticale et longitudinale sous les amortisseurs du véhicule. Le contrôleur électronique détecte alors la pression du pneu sur la base de ces fréquences de résonance.

This system has a system of convex lenses (1) on the side of the object and a Fresnel lens (2) on the side of the image. The lenses are larger than the transverse dimension of the object to be reproduced. By providing a double reflection (3, 4), this projection system is able to generate, in addition to the reproduction of two-dimensional images, a three-dimensional image of a real, three-dimensional object, "positioned in space" and whose sides are correctly aligned for the benefit of an observer. Preferably, a plane mirror (3) is used for this purpose as well as a beam splitter (4) that is inclined by about 45 DEG  with respect to the main axis (5) of the system of convex lenses (1).

Abstract: The optically clear composites of the present invention are prepared by reacting an organic polymer containing a plurality of pendant hydroxyl groups with a specified class of metal alkoxides or with a silane containing at least one silicon-bonded alkoxy group or halogen atom. To avoid substantial hydrolysis and homocondensation of the metal alkoxide, akoxysilane or halosilane, the reaction is conducted under substantially anhydrous conditions or in the presence of a small, carefully controlled amount of water, depending upon the properties desired in the final polymer. The reaction mixture also includes a catalyst for the trans-alcoholysis reaction when the hydrolyzable group is alkoxide or a suitable acid acceptor when the inorganic reactant is a halosilane.
