Abstract: The invention relates to a safety switching apparatus
against dry operation of electrical resistances,
particularly for washing machines and dishwashers, with
electromechanical or electronic control systems and level
switches for monitoring the water level. Security against
dry operation of the heating resistances is considerably
improved in that two level switches (NV1,NV2) monitor the normal water
level and, incorporated in series, control a switch element (R),
in that the switch element triggers the control motor (StM) and
switches off the water intake valve (WV), and in that the control
motor, after expiry of a predetermined time, by means of
control contacts, switches the heating resistance (H) into
parallel with the switch element in the heating and washing
stage following the water intake stage.

Abstract: An antenna device comprises an array antenna (16) having a
plurality of transmitting planar antenna elements (12) and a
plurality of receiving planar antenna elements (14), a transmission
selecting circuit (18) for selecting at least one of the
transmitting planar antenna elements, a transmitting circuit

circuit (22) for selecting at least one of the receiving antenna
elements, and a receiving circuit (24) for receiving a signal
from the selected at least one receiving planar antenna element.
By selecting the planar antenna elements exclusively for transmission
or reception, it becomes possible to radiate or absorb
(receive) a main beam in or from a direction corres-ponding to
the respective planar antenna element, thereby enabling more
minute switching of the main beam directions and improving the
directional resolution of the antenna device. Further, by
providing the transmitting and receiving planar antenna
elements separately, it becomes possible to prevent the deterioration
of the reception sensitivity due to the leakage of part
of a received signal into a transmission system of the antenna
device. An antenna system employing the antenna device is also
disclosed.

Abstract: A surface plasmon sensor comprises a sensor unit,
which is provided with a transparent substrate and a metal
film, and a coupler, which carries out light beam coupling
and is separate from the sensor unit. A light beam is
entered from a light beam entry portion of the coupler, and
an attenuated total reflection angle  sp  is detected from
the light beam, which has been totally reflected from an
interface between the transparent substrate and the metal
film and has then been radiated out of a light beam radiating
portion of the coupler. The sensor unit is supported by
a sensor unit attachment such that a distance between the
transparent substrate and the coupler may be kept to be
equal to a predetermined value. The space between the
transparent substrate and the coupler is filled with a
refractive index matching liquid. Fitting of the sensor
unit in the surface plasmon sensor is easy to carry out,

Title: Verfahren zur Abbremsung eines Fahrzeuges
Inventor: WOLF THOMAS
IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 1998-04-01
Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur Abbremsung eines Fahrzeuges,
bei dem an wenigstens einer Achse (14) die jeweiligen
Bremskräfte an den Rädern (2, 3) dieser Achse durch einen
gemeinsamen Bremsdruck (P) beeinflußbar sind, auf
Fahrbahnen mit wechselnden Reibwerten angegeben. Beim
Auftreten von seitenweise unterschiedlichen Reibwerten
(µ-split) besteht eine Schwierigkeit bei der Ermittlung
eines geeigneten Bremsdruckes (P) für eine Abbremsung
darin, daß einerseits ein kurzer Bremsweg erzielt werden
soll, andererseits aber Reifenbeschädigungen oder
ein instabiles Fahrverhalten infolge eines Blockierens
des Rades (3) auf dem geringeren Reibwert vermieden
werden soll. Es wird daher vorgeschlagen, nach Erkennung
entsprechender Unterschiede zwischen den Reibwerten
den Bremsdruck (P) so einzustellen, daß das auf dem
geringeren Reibwert befindliche Rad (3) wenigstens
zeitweise blockiert und hierdurch der höhere Reibwert
des anderen Rades (2) gut ausgenutzt werden kann. Zur
Vermeidung der zuvor genannten Nachteile wird in bestimmten
Zeitintervallen (37, 38, 39) der Bremsdruck
(P) so weit verringert, daß das auf dem geringeren
Reibwert befindliche Rad (3) im Falle einer zwischenzeitlich
eingetretenen Erhöhung des Reibwertes aus dem
blockierten Zustand wieder anlaufen kann. Je nach Reaktion
des auf dem geringeren Reibwert befindlichen Rades
(3) kann dann entschieden werden, ob ein weiteres
Blockieren dieses Rades zulässig ist oder wegen zu erwartender
Reifenbeschädigungen oder einer Verringerung
der Fahrstabilität beendet werden muß.
