Abstract: An electrostatic spraying device is provided with a container (16) for the liquid to be sprayed and a capillary structure (22) extending into the container. To maintain a substantially constant liquid level at the location where liquid is drawn into the capillary structure, the container is partitioned into two chambers one (68) of which is isolated from atmosphere and the other (66) of which is in communication with atmosphere. The capillary structure (22) extends through one chamber and the arrangement is such that the liquid level at the location where the capillary structure communicates with the liquid is maintained substantially constant over a wide range of variation of the liquid level within the other chamber. The upper end of the capillary structure may be provided with an oblique end face (50; 70, 72) to facilitate dispersal of the spray into the surroundings. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An electrolytic process for the production of an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution uses an oxygen reduction cathode and a cation exchange membrane. The electrolytic cell comprises a cation exchange membrane dividing it into anodic and cathodic compartments. The cathode is placed directly against the membrane and the compartment is supplied with a moist gas containing O2. To obtain a weight concentration between the cation exchange membrane and the cathode of less than 38.8% of NaOH (a higher concentration reduces the life of the membrane), aqueous solutions of NaCl (anolyte) with a weight concentration of NaCl less than 200 g/l are electrolyzed. The O2-containing gas contains water vapor.

Abstract: A linear conoscope (20) for producing an interferogram of the three-dimensional structure of an object (22). The interfernece pattern of the interferogram varies linearly with the distance from the center of the Gabor lens zone. A realization of the linear conoscope has an anisotropic optical arrangement with two series coupled anisotropic optical elements (30, 32) having respective optical axes oriented such as to cancel quadratic phase shift terms introduced between polarizations of light traversing the anisotropic optical arrangement. A polarization analyzer (18) between the second anisotropic optical element (32) and a detector plane (14) separates the differentially phase shifted polarizations of light emanating from the surface of an inspected object and traversing the anisotropic optical arrangement.

Abstract: A vehicle computer system includes a display device that is configurable for viewing by a driver of a vehicle while the vehicle is moving. The display device is responsive to a processor that executes application programs in conjunction with an operating system. A plurality of sensors are used to indicate the position of the display device, to indicate vehicle motion, and to indicate the state of a chosen vehicle control such as a parking brake. Application programs open display windows in conjunction with the operating system. In opening a window, an application program can indicate whether the window will contain driving-related information. The operating system monitors the sensors and prevents the display of non-driving-related windows to the driver when the vehicle is in motion or when it has the potential for motion. Specifically, the operating system in such a situation hides any windows that have not been specified as being driving-related. Initially, all windows are assumed to contain non-driver related information; hence, they are hidden until it is determined what type of information they display.

Abstract: An apparatus for low power radio communication comprising a transmitter having a frequency synthesizer and transmit antenna such that the frequency synthesizer comprises a phase locked loop circuit with a voltage controlled oscillator having a variable frequency output and with a loop filter/sample and hold circuit that allows opening of the synthesizer control loop and with special means of limiting the resulting frequency drift in the open loop state. The transmitter produces an output signal and the loop filter/sample and hold circuit holds the voltage controlled oscillator substantially on frequency such that the output signal remains stable, with a minimum of frequency drift, over a period of time when the phase lock loop synthesizer is set to an open loop state to allow frequency modulation unimpeded by the normal frequency correcting action of the synthesizer and for the frequency synthesizer to be partially powered down to reduce power consumption. The frequency modulation is linearized over a band of interest and undesired frequency shift at the initiation of modulation is suppressed. Receiver having automatic frequency control is included to extend the open loop transmit time of the transmitter, where the automatic frequency control system automatically tunes the receiver to correct for frequency error and for the frequency drift resulting from opening the phase locked loop of the frequency synthesizer, allowing communications to continue in the presence of such drift and of other frequency error.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heating oven (1) in particular with a gas and/or oil firing system. The heating oven comprises a combustion chamber (2) surrounded by heat storage elements, wherein respective first heat storage elements (3, 4; 27) are arranged at a first spacing parallel to respective walls (5, 6; 27) of the combustion chamber (2). Second heat storage elements (12, 14; 25) are arranged at a second spacing parallel to the respective outside of the first heat storage elements. The first spacing defines a first air channel (16, 17; 28) and the second spacing defines a second air channel (15, 18; 26) in each arrangement. The air in the first channel is heated by the walls of the combustion chamber, rises, cools down on the surrounding storage elements and sinks downwardly in the second air channel while giving up further energy to the heat storage elements. Thereafter, the cooled air again reaches the first air channel and the described flow cycle begins again in the heat exchanger.

The displays also allow the aircraft systems to be continuously tested while the aircraft is on the ground. Moreover, the inventive systems include input touch devices which access external memories to display necessary flight and landing information which allow the cockpit crew to expand in detail the external information for display on the flat panels.
