Title: Exzenterpresse und Verfahren zum Betreiben der Exzenterpresse

Abstract: Eine Exzenterpresse für die Herstellung von Formteilen aus einer feinkörnigen Masse weist als
Drehantrieb einen Hydraulikmotor mit einer Steuerung auf, mittels derer die Winkelgeschwindigkeit
des Hydraulikmotors während eines Preßzyklus' veränderbar ist. 
     Damit wird auf die Vorteile des Gleichlaufs und vorzugsweise auch des Getriebes bei einer
Exzenterpresse verzichtet. Dennoch bleibt eine schnelle Arbeitsfolge. zum Teil hier auf andere
Weise, erhalten. 
Der Hydromotor gibt jedoch ein starkes Drehmoment ab, das eine Schwungmasse entbehrlich
macht. Er kann ohne Getriebe eingesetzt werden, und seine Winkelgeschwindigkeit kann
auf einer Umdrehung geändert werden bis hin in den negativen Bereich, d.h. auch Stillstände
und sogar Pilgerschritte sind möglich. 
     Es kann sogar die gesamte Bewegung des Hydraulikmotors und der Exzenterwelle als eine hinund
hergehende Schwenkbewegung ausgeführt werden; der dabei überstrichene Winkel
beträgt vorzugsweise weniger als 180°. 
Damit können aus dem Umlaufwinkel der Exzenterwelle günstige Bereiche herausgeschnitten
werden.

Abstract: An image display method and system for a plasma display panel. An image of each field displayed on the plasma display panel corresponding to input image signals is divided into sub-fields. Weighting values of the sub-fields are combined to display grays. The sub-fields are divided into three continuous groups. Sub-fields corresponding to a Least Significant Bit (LSB) and a LSB+1 of each sub-field data are included in a second sub-field, which is positioned in a middle of the three consecutive groups with respect to time. Therefore, a time difference between the LSB and the LSB+1 of the sub-field data with respect to images displayed by 50Hz Phase Alternating by Line (PAL) image signals is reduced such that contour noise between low gray regions is diminished.

Abstract: A fastener cartridge installs clamping fasteners, e.g., a set screw and a lock nut, to fix a
linking rod or cable in the head of an anchor assembly. The cartridge carries one or more
fasteners, or pairs of inner and outer fasteners, and applies them onto the anchor head
without cross-threading. A separate holder mechanism aligns and guides the cartridge with
a centring body into which the fastener cartridge fits. One cartridge has a box wrench that
externally grips and turns the nut, and a central shaft coaxial with the box wrench that
positions and rotates a clamp screw in coordination with the nut. The holder
mechanism has a distal jaw that grips the anchor head and positions the centring body on-axis,
aligning it to avoid cross-threading the fasteners. The holder may have an elongated
handle projecting to a side of the centring body for manipulating the holder in a surgical
wound, or the holder may have a coaxially disposed and/or telescopically interfitted handle.
The handle also actuates a jaw to grip the anchor head and centre the assembly. Fastener
cartridges may be manually gripped or turned with a wrench remote from the wound. A
floating assembly enhances alignment of threads and coordination of fasteners.

Abstract: An electrically floating capacitor plate defines a sensing capacitor with a fingerprint sensing surface thereabove. A reference voltage pulse is selectively applied to a pixel input node that is capacitively coupled to the floating plate, which in turn is capacitively coupled to the input node of a charge integrator. During a sensing operation, the charge integrator generates a pixel output signal that is a function of the variable capacitance of the sensing capacitor, which corresponds to a ridge or valley fingerprint characteristic that appears directly above the floating plate.

Abstract: An arrangement that provides a semi-automatic tension
adjustment of an endless cutting chain (13) on a guide bar
of a chain saw as the links of the chain wear with use. A
specially designed cam (40) biases a tensioner pin (21) to
continuously force the guide bar (14) away from a drive
sprocket (12) on the engine chassis to tension the chain.
A knob (52) on a clutch cover assembly attached to the
engine chassis can be tightened to force two high friction
surfaces (25,27) together to lock the guide bar in a
tensioned position, or loosed to release the guide bar to
seek a proper tensioned position. An override lever (48)
on the face of the clutch cover assembly moves in a
channel with peripheral nomenclature (55,57), that
indicates when the cutting chain should be replaced. The
entire arrangement is self-contained and does not require
any tools to function.
