Abstract: The invention relates to a condenser ( 1 ) comprising an integrated collector ( 5 ) which is arranged parallel to one of the collector tubes ( 2 ) and is connected to said connector tube via two overflow opening ( 8 and 9 ). Said collector ( 5 ) is used to receive a drying/filtering unit ( 11 ). The condenser ( 1 ), consisting of tubes ( 3 ), ribs ( 4 ) and collector tubes ( 2 ), is produced by welding. According to the invention, the drying/filtering unit ( 11 ) is introduced into the collector ( 5 ) before the welding process and is positioned therein or connected thereto in a fixed manner. The collector ( 5 ) is then closed and the entire condenser ( 1 ) is welded. The connection between the drying/filtering unit ( 11 ) and the collector ( 5 ) is thus carried out before or during the welding process by means of welding. The invention is preferably used for air conditioning systems in motor vehicles.

Abstract: Screen (10) for a user interface of a television schedule system and process consists of an array (24) of irregular cells (26), which vary in length, corresponding to different program lengths of one half to one-and-one half hours or more. Because of the widely varying length of the cells (26), if a conventional cursor used to select a cell location were to simply step from one cell to another, the result would be abrupt changed in the screen (10). By restricting cursor movements to the regular cells, abrupt screen changes will be avoided.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a light sending and
receiving module by a ferrule, a connecting device of the light sending and
receiving module and a method of manufacturing the light sending and receiving
module characterized in that: the light sending and receiving module is interposed
between the butting faces of the optical fibers without embedding an optical filter;
deterioration of the optical characteristic can be prevented by eliminating a gap
between the optical fiber and the optical filter; the number of ferrules is decreased
so as to reduce the manufacturing cost; and further the size can be reduced by
omitting an adapter. 
     According to the present invention, there are provided a ferrule joining
member (1A), in which a portion or all of the circumferential face of an optical fiber
(4) is exposed from an end portion of the ferrule in which the optical fiber (4) is
embedded, and a guide sleeve (2A) for positioning into which the ferrule joining
member (1A) is inserted. When end faces of the optical fibers (4) are butted to
each other via an optical filter (5) so as to conduct light branching, the optical
fibers (4) are optically coupled to each other. Due to the above structure, no gaps
are formed between the optical fiber (4) and the optical filter (5). Therefore, the
occurrence of irregular reflection can be prevented.
