Abstract: The elastic hinge for spectacles comprises two parts (1) and (2) articulated to one another. One (2) of the parts comprises an extension (11) mounted so that it can slide in a housing (15) provided on the arm (7). A return spring (14) bears, on the one hand, on the end of the extension (11) and, on the other hand, on a locking part (18) solidly attached to the housing (15). The locking part (18) comprises a central part (19) solidly attached to lateral portions (20, 21) each having a transverse projection (22, 23). A first projection (22) penetrates into a hollow (28) in the housing (15) and the second projection (23) serves as a bearing surface for the cam (33) of the hinge-piece (3). The locking part (18) is held in place by a spacer (29) provided on the extension (11). This design allows very quick and easy mounting of the hinge, while reducing the number of its components. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1994-07-28
Abstract: The aim was to develop a process for the production of approximately spherical polyolefin foam particles (beads) having a coarse cell structure and a narrow cell-size distribution with the aid of dispersion foaming. This object is achieved by a process in which the reactor contents, which essentially comprise polyolefin particles, a liquid dispersion medium and optionally a volatile blowing agent, are first treated at a first temperature above the crystallite melting point Tm of the polyolefin, and are subsequently passed through a cooling device in which the dispersion is brought to a second, lower temperature, after which the polymer particles are then foamed at this temperature. The foamed particles can be converted into mouldings by known methods.

Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus capable of recording video, audio and other information on a magnetic tape by, for example, the helical scanning method. A rotary head is rotated at an m-fold speed to record intermittent tracks on the magnetic tape so that real-time simultaneous monitoring is performed. By high-speed dubbing due to high-density intermittent recording and by increasing the number of repetition of track scanning, the information is recorded and reproduced simultaneously with a plurality of channels. Any tracking error is detected to form a continuous and uniform track pattern. With this intermittent comb-shaped recording, reciprocating recording and reproducing can be realized.

Abstract: An ohmic electorde of the present invention comprises a contact electrode layer formed on a p-type diamond semiconductor layer formed on a substrate so as to be in ohmic contact with the p-type diamond semiconductor layer and to have low contact resistance and high heat resistance, and a lead electrode layer formed on the contact electrode layer so as to have low lead wire resistance and high heat resistance. Specifically, the contact electrode layer is made of either a carbide of at least one metal selected from a metal group comprising Ti, Zr, and Hf, or a carbide of an alloy containing at least one metal selected from the metal group. Since the carbide of the metal or alloy forming the contact electrode layer is stabler in respect of energy because of reduced formation enthalpy than the metal or alloy itself, it is very unlikely to diffuse. Therefore, little metal or alloy forming the contact electrode layer precipitates on the surface of the lead electrode layer formed on the contact electrode layer, thus improving the device performance, based on the reduced lead wire resistance.

Abstract: The method involves determining a bit error rate at uniform time intervals and storing the measured bit error rates over a defined large time period. The stored bit error rates are transformed into a parameter characterising the quality using a transformation rule. The transformation is performed so that the subjective quality is determined for different sets of bit error rate measurements within the large time period. Finally, the sets of bit error rate measurements and each subjective quality determined are subjected to a multidimensional regression analysis.

Abstract: When a vehicle accelerates to a predetermined value, a pretensioner mounted to an occupant seat applies a pulling force to a seat belt under a force produced by detonating an explosive material. When the seat is moved in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle in order to adjust the position and the seat comes to a halt at a frontal end position, an acceleration more than or equal to the predetermined value is developed in an acceleration sensor. However, the acceleration sensor is provided with a lock means mounted to the seat. Even if the seat suddenly stops at the frontal end position, the acceleration sensor is restrained from moving and the pretensioner is not actuated. 
     The lock means is actuated even when a walk-in mechanism for directly moving the seat to the frontal end is operated.

During system initialisation the correct break-off phase relationship is established for each charge electrode (12). During printing the phase selection logic (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31) for the printing array (1 to 7) is altered based on the alteration of the clock phase to the pilot nozzle (34).

Title: Digital demodulator with frequency and timing control
Inventor: PETRANOVICH JAMES E
IPC: H04L27/227
Filed: 1993-12-30
Abstract: A digital demodulator and method for demodulating digital data representing a phase shift keyed (PSK) signal are provided. The demodulator comprises a phase detector, automatic frequency controller, automatic timing recovery controller, data decoder, and unique word detector. According to the method of the present invention, a PSK signal is received and digitized to substantially remove the signal's amplitude characteristics. The phase detector receives an input of the digital data and based upon transitions in the data from a high state to low state and from a low state to a high state, provides phase estimates. The phase estimates are converted by the data decoder into binary data representing the symbols transmitted to form the PSK signal. A number of overlapping windows of digital data are used to determine phase estimates. The unique word detector receives an input of binary data from the data decoder and using a correlation technique identifies one set of windows which substantially maximizes synchronization of the demodulator with the received PSK signal. After the synchronizing window has been identified the automatic frequency controller monitors any frequency drift of the PSK signal and corrects the phase estimates based on the frequency error. The automatic timing recovery controller uses the corrected phase errors from early and late windows with respect to the synchronizing window to adjust the timing of the synchronizing window by advancing or delaying the demodulator's symbol timing signal to further maximize synchronization with the received PSK signal.

Filed: 1994-02-22
Abstract: A package (1) for containing a particulate product (500) under pressure which automatically releases the pressure upon opening with an ordinary can opener, while preventing escape of the particulate material. The package is made up of a container (2) having a closed top (10) and a closed bottom (20) which are connected to a body portion (30) to define a gas tight interior compartment (5). The container has an inwardly directed bead (6) along the perimeter of the body of the container located at a predetermined distance from the top. A non-porous product separator (50) is placed within the container above the bead so that its perimeter is adjacent to the perimeter of the body of the container. The separator divides the interior compartment into a product chamber (61), below the separator, and a product free chamber (62) above the separator. The distance from the bead to the top of the container is such that rocking of the separator with respect to the vertical axis of the container is prevented to the extent that the particulate product is prevented from migrating around the separator and into the product-free chamber before and during opening.
