Abstract: In a passive optical telecommunications system, an electric carrier signal is DPSK-modulated in the upstream transmission, whereafter the electric signal modulated in this way effects the intensity modulation of the transmitted light; in the downstream signal transmission, the transmitted light is intensity-modulated by a preferably scrambled NRZ baseband signal. The carrier signal is derived from the regenerated receive clock signal of the local device by frequency multiplexing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An Al layer of wiring material is etched using an alkaline aqueous solution. There are provided a method for producing a thin film resistor, in which only the Al layer can be selectively etched independent of a resistor layer using the alkaline aqueous solution, an anti-sticking means for film-forming apparatus having the structure which can prevent a drop in yield due to particles, even with less frequency of cleaning for a film-forming chamber, and a film-forming apparatus provided with the anti-sticking means. When the wiring electrode layer mainly containing Al is etched by the alkaline aqueous solution, only the Al layer can be selectively etched without etching the resistor layer, which can reduce a change in resistance of resistor, improve the yield and the productivity, and raise the reliability of the thin film resistor. Also, when the anti-sticking means having a tongued-and-grooved surface is set in the film-forming chamber of the film-forming apparatus, the film-forming material is deposited in a discontinuous manner on the anti-sticking means, which can delay the time of film exfoliation, in turn extend the cycle of cleaning for the anti-sticking plate, and prevent the drop in yield due to the film exfoliation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Contacts of relays (K5 to K8) which can be driven, as required, by electronic switches (S1 to S4), are used for controlling the pole changer in the circuit of a reversible actuating motor. If one of these electronic switches can no longer be switched such that its resistance is high, then short-circuit paths are jointly connected. In this case, a fuse (protection device) (Si) trips which disconnects the relay from the feeding supply voltage and thus ensures that a further defect in another electronic switch does not lead to the pole changer being in a switching position in which it supplies potential in an uncontrolled manner to the actuating motor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal support for holding a catalyst for cleaning an automobile exhaust gas, consisting of the steps of forming a cross-sectionally honeycomb type core, inserting a front end portion of the resultant core into an outer cylinder, the inner diameter of which is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the core, with at least one end portion of the outer cylinder expanded, press-fitting the core into the outer cylinder by pressing an end surface of the former, and then contracting the expanded portion of the outer cylinder to the original dimensions by heat-treating the same; or forming a cross-sectionally honeycomb type core, forming a foil solder-wound portion by winding foil solder around a substantially axially intermediate part of the core, drawing the resultant core to an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of an outer cylinder by using a stepped portion-carrying metal mold before press-fitting the core into the outer cylinder the inner diameter of which is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the core, and then press-fitting the core into the outer cylinder. Especially, a non-circular metal honeycomb support consists of an outer cylinder in which a core is housed and fixed, this core being obtained by forming a core member using a take-up member composed of two rod type or plate type materials having regularly spaced opposed rifts, and then winding in layers flat plates and wavy plates around the outer circumferential surface of the core member with the end portions of the flat and wavy plates inserted into the rifts in the take-up member.

Abstract: A strap (170) is coupled between the sliding upper track (52) of a power seat adjuster (10) and the lead screw (144) of a horizontal drive (34) to transmit forces acting on the upper track (52) which move the upper track in a forward direction to the lead screw (144) bypassing the horizontal drive gears (148, 152). The horizontal drive gears (148, 152) coupling the horizontal drive motor output shaft (40) to the lead screw (144) and the gear housing (144) surrounding the drive gears are formed of a plastic material. In one embodiment, the strap (170) has first and second ends (172, 174) with the first end (172) loosely surrounding the lead screw (144). The second end (174) of the strap (170) is coupled in a force transmitting path with the upper track (52). An intermediate portion (182) of the strap (170) between the first and second ends is formed in a predetermined contour to deform under tension toward a planar shape and is disposed bypassingly around the drive gears (148, 152).

Abstract: The object of the invention is to secure a roller or Venetian blind against unauthorised pushing-up from outside a building and to prevent the screen from falling downwards, as a result of its deadweight, after lowering has been hindered by an obstruction, to be precise this is to be achieved without additional manipulation. For securing purposes, in the case of a screen comprising parallel profile bars (3) which are interhung by means of carrying members and are guided in rails (21) located laterally on the window or door frame, use is made of a clamping device by means of which at least the lowermost profile of the screen can be fixedly clamped on the sides. Said clamping device is, by means of an articulation pin (14), rotatably suspended on the two carrying members (15), assigned to the profile bar (3) to be secured, in an elongate lug (4) in each case. The lug (4) is provided with a slot (7) into which a pin (6) of a locking lever (8) engages. The locking lever (8) bears, at a distance from the pin (6), on two opposite surfaces of a rail (21) by means of two braking jaws (9). Likewise provided for securing the blind against falling is a securing bar (31) which also has braking jaws (32, 33) made for sliding on the rails (21). A support (37) from the guide carriage (2) serves for horizontally positioning the securing bar (31) when the screen is drawn up, a band fastener (40) having a stop surface, with which the securing bar is raised. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Radio equipment such as car telephones, service transceivers and the like are increasingly being installed in motor vehicles. Such equipment makes the user quite independent and more mobile. This advantage also necessarily entails a safety risk in that the concentration and reaction to the road traffic of a vehicle driver using such equipment deteriorate since, in most cases, he must hold a receiver in his hand for operating the transceiver and thus then only has one hand for steering the vehicle. This is remedied by so-called hands-free talking devices in which speaking is done via a permanently mounted microphone and listening is done via a loudspeaker. The invention describes a device which is of simple construction and enables a loudspeaker to be used which is already available in the motor vehicle for an audio device. The device is of very small construction and is installed so easily that, in particular, it is also suitable for subsequent installation in a motor vehicle. Due to the use of the installed loudspeaker, the quality of reproduction is very good. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de préparation d'un catalyseur de réaction d'hydrogénation à base de cuivre. Ce procédé consiste à réduire un précurseur formé d'un catalyseur de réaction d'hydrogénation à base de cuivre avec un gaz d'hydrogène ou un mélange d'hydrogène et de gaz inerte par une réduction en phase liquide dans un circuit d'un solvant. L'activation de réduction est effectuée en deux étapes. La première étape consiste à effectuer la première étape de réduction en phase liquide qui permet d'activer le précurseur du catalyseur à une température comprise entre 20 et 140 °C de sorte qu'au moins 10 % en poids de l'oxyde de cuivre contenu dans le précurseur du catalyseur est réduit lorsque la température atteint 140 °C. La deuxième étape est la réduction en phase liquide qui permet d'activer davantage le précurseur du catalyseur à une température comprise entre 140 et 250 °C. Le catalyseur ainsi obtenu présente une activité catalytique et une sélectivité sensiblement améliorées. Un alcool de grande qualité peut être obtenu avec une forte productivité en utilisant le catalyseur dans un système de réaction continue à lit fixe.
