Abstract: The camera of the invention includes a magnetic recording head (30) adjacent the film (14) and a processor (32) which senses the lens focal length, the aperture size, the shutter speed and the film ISO number or film speed, and makes the following determinations: first, it determines from the scene brightness and film speed whether the ideal combination of shutter speed and aperture size, in terms of a required exposure value, falls within the range of maximum and minimum shutter exposure times and aperture sizes of which the camera is capable of providing, expressed in terms of a minimum camera exposure value and a maximum camera exposure value. If the ideal exposure value for that scene falls outside the range of camera exposure values, then the processor causes a magnetic recording head (30) to magnetically record in or adjacent the current film frame a coded indication symbolic of the fact that the required exposure value was beyond the camera exposure value range.

Abstract: A storage medium is intended to store thermal energy in a high capacity manner with relatively high heat transfer. The medium includes activated alumina and an aqueous medium and the storage medium may be usable at low temperatures and up to about 200  DEG C. Heat exchange with the storage medium utilises the specific heat of the medium and enthalpy arising out of reversible endothermic and exothermic chemical changes to give high thermal storage capacities which can be enhanced if the range includes a phase change. The thermal storage medium can be used in storage systems such as air conditioning and in systems where the thermal energy is utilised at locations remote from the charging station.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing fractured bones (40,42) in place without the use of wires. An absorbable bone pin (50) is inserted in place by a cannulated applicator (10) which is used to help drill a hole (44) for the bone pin (50) and accurately measure its depth. The applicator (10) has a scaled recess (20) in the handle which is used to measure the progress (depth) of the wire-type drill (30) as it forms the hole. The drill (30) has a marking (36) or similar means on it for registration with the applicator scale (22). The bone pin (50) is selected or cut to an appropriate length based on the depth of the hole (44) and inserted in place by a push rod (52) through the applicator guide tube. The applicator can have one or two guide tubes, and the tubes can be parallel or at angles to one another, depending on the usage desired. With a two-tube applicator, it is possible to better maintain the bone's pieces in place under compression until a bone pin is installed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A two wire/three wire utility data communications system for remotely reading utility meter registers. In the two wire version, a hand-held reading unit is inductively coupled over two wires via a port located remotely from a meter register. Alternatively, a meter interface unit (MIU) may be connected directly to the register via three wires. Each register includes one or more wheel position encoders. An AC interrogation signal is applied by the reading unit to encoder circuitry at the meter which powers the circuitry and causes the position of each encoder wheel to be read. In the two wire mode, register display information (e.g. the current meter reading) is transmitted back to the reading unit by varying the load (impedance) presented by the register side of the circuit. This causes a corresponding variation of the amount of current drawn from the reading unit. The current-modulated signal is decoded by the reading unit and converted into a register reading. The system can also operate in a three wire mode and read older fourteen wire encoded registers. Other features include remote programmability of register characteristics, the ability to interrogate multiple registers which share a common data bus, verification of encoder wheel positions before accepting a reading, real-time flow rate/leak detection, pulse output, and the capability of reading compound meters (i.e. meters having two registers to separately measure high/low flow rates). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a lamp having a reflector, a glass lid and a filament which is supported by supply wires. The supply wires pass from the interior of the lamp to the outside through the connecting area between the reflector and the glass lid. The reflector is thus almost 100 percent effective because there is no space required for a material collection marking a passage of supply wires or a socket for receiving a bulb. The light performance of the lamp is thus an optimum.

Abstract: A control system of a vehicle automatic transmission. An engine load and a vehicle speed are detected and based on them, a vehicle acceleration to be obtained from the detected engine load and vehicle speed is determined in accordance with the preestablished characteristics. An actual vehicle acceleration is at the same time calculated in response to the detected vehicle speed. The difference therebetween is then calculated and the calculated value is added to a difference calculated earlier to obtain an average therebetween. Five gear shift scheduling maps, for example one for moderate hill climbing, one for level-road running, one for steep hill descent, are preestablished and in response to the average obtained, one of the maps is selected. A gear shifting is controlled based on the selected map. In a specific condition such as the engine load changes abruptly, braking is in progress and so on, the map selection is suspended and the control is carried out using the map selected earlier. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for mixing two or more gases in a controlled manner, the flows of the unmixed gases being adjusted in a suitable manner for the mixture to be produced. In so doing, the mixture ratio is intended to be very accurately maintained without the use of a buffer container - even under dynamic conditions. Given the stipulation that the gas with the greatest proportion represents the master gas and the further gas(es) is/are the slave(s), the controlled mixing is so carried out that the control sequence is that the quotient Qi is formed from the actual flows of the master gas and slave gas(es), the quotient Qs of the desired flows is formed in parallel, the difference of these quotients is formed and the result of this subtraction is added to the desired flow of the master gas (= command variable of the system) or to the desired flow of the slave gas (of the respective slave gases) in such a way that the mixture ratio of the gases involved changes in the direction of the desired mixture ratio. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The tube-connecting device comprises two tube connectors (1) and an intermediate part (7). The tube connectors (1) each have a sleeve-shaped portion (2), which is plugged in a positively locking manner onto the associated end of one of the tubes (12) which are to be connected, and a central attachment (4) directed away from this tube. The intermediate part (7) has two conical bores (13) in which the two attachments (4) of the two tube connectors (1) are received in a positively locking manner. The sleeve-shaped portion (2) of each tube connector (1) can be fixedly connected to the associated tube (12) by means of an upset rivet, as a result of which the sleeve-shaped portion (2) is pressed firmly against the tube wall, this leading to friction forces which absorb some of the tensile forces occurring, with the result that tearing of the rivet holes is avoided. The intermediate part (7) is connected to the conical attachments (4) by means of steel pins (16), said attachments having a solid cross-section and the intermediate part (7) having a considerable wall thickness, with the result that, here too, the holes cannot be torn. The connection is free of any play and can be produced in a comparatively inexpensive manner. <IMAGE>
