Abstract: An apparatus and method receive and process information, and adapt the operational characteristics of the processing in response to material included in the received information. More particularly, the apparatus and method embody a software-controlled process which adapts or modifies the software in response to the received information. One embodiment is described in connection with a motion picture film which carries a conventional analog SVA soundtrack and a digital soundtrack with a digital representation of software required to properly process the digital soundtrack. An apparatus and a method according to one embodiment establishes what version of software is required to properly process the digital soundtrack, optionally modifies its software from information carried with the digital soundtrack if the current version on hand is not adequate and uses the updated version of software to process the digital soundtrack on the remainder of the current film and other future films until such time as another software update is required.

Abstract: An improvement is proposed for a machine which consists of a basic assembly (1) and a tool (3), the transmissions of an analog or a digital information from the basic assembly to the tool being carried out by means of pulse-width-modulated voltage. At the same time, one or more analog or digital items of information can be sent back from the tool (3) to the basic assembly (1) in the form of a current which has been decoupled from the pulse-width-modulated volage. The advantage of this bidirectional data transmission is the high degree of freedom from interference and the insensitivity in terms of thermal influences. As a result, reliable data transmission is made possible under extreme conditions, such as they can be encountered for example in welding technology. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for the identification of agents which inhibit chitin synthesis, thus exhibiting potential fungicidal and insecticidal activity, involves the incubation of test samples in neutral Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures containing calcofluor white, a fluorochrome that causes lethal chitin hyper-polymerization in the yeast. Cultures containing samples that inhibit chitin synthesis exhibit enhanced growth because the growing fungus is rescued from the adverse effects of calcofluor white. In the practice of the invention, the test sample is added to a S. cerevisiae culture or culture area containing calcofluor white and the culture is incubated with the test sample for such time under such conditions sufficient to observe yeast cell growth inhibition in a corresponding culture or culture area containing calcofluor but no test sample. The extent of growth in the culture or culture area containing test sample is then compared with the extent of growth in the culture or culture area containing no test sample, and the presence of chitin synthesis inhibition is determined by observation of whether culture growth in the presence of test sample exceeds growth in its absence. Preferred embodiments employ test samples on disks or in wells in solidified cultures and a known chitin synthesis inhibitor as a positive control which is compared to the test sample.

Abstract: The digging tooth has a tooth holder (1), on one end of which a wedge-shaped tooth nose (3) is integrally formed. The tooth nose (3) is the support for a wedge-shaped tooth cap (5) in which a wedge-shaped hollow space (24) is recessed. When the tooth cap (5) is mounted, the hollow space (24) is pushed onto the tooth nose (3), which thus supports the tooth cap (5). For a good bearing arrangement, the wedge surfaces (8, 9) of the tooth nose (3) have radii of curvature convexly arched perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (16) and continuously decreasing from the tooth edge (7) to the nose root (17). Accordingly, the wedge surfaces (25, 26) of the hollow space (24) have concavely arched radii of curvature of the same magnitude continuously decreasing from the bottom (28) to the mouth (29) of the hollow space (24). The tooth cap (5) thereby bears on the tooth nose (3) over a large area. A locking pin serves to secure the tooth cap (5). The locking pin passes through the bores (20, 34) in the tooth nose (3) and in the side faces of the tooth cap (5) and holds the same in place. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a protective system for a supercharged internal combustion engine. In normal operation, supercharging is set and/or regulated at a predeterminable reference value (P reference). There are various protective neasures in case of overcharging of the engine which act depending on the excess supercharging. In a first protective measure, the setting or regulation of the supercharging is cut out and an adjuster which affects the supercharging is set to a predetermined position. In a second protective measure, the fuel feed to individual cylinders is interrupted according to a predetermined cut-out programme. If this cannot adequately reduce the supercharging, other cut-out programmes with greater cut-out frequencies are introduced in succession.

Abstract: A rearview mirror assembly comprising a fixed support structure, a movable mirror housing structure having a mirror unit adjustable mounted therein, and a spring-biased mounting assembly mounting the movable structure on the fixed structure (1) for spring-biased movement into a normal operating position wherein said movable structure extends laterally outwardly from the exterior of the vehicle where it is susceptible to the application of unwanted forwardly directed forces or unwanted rearwardly directed forces, (2) for movement forwardly through a forward range of movement out of said operative position in response to the application of unwanted forwardly directed force so that upon release of the force the spring bias is operable to return the movable structure to its operative position and (3) for movement rearwardly through a rearward range of movement out of the operating position in response to the application of an unwanted rearwardly directed force sufficient to overcome the spring bias which spring bias decreases to zero as the distance of rearward movement of the movable structure out of the operative position increases to an intermediate point within the rearward range of movement and thereafter reverses to bias the movable structure into a rearwardly folded limiting position. A power-driven assembly is provided for applying a yieldable force pattern to the movable structure to overcome the spring bias within the rearward range of movement so as to selectively move the movable structure between the operative and rearwardly folded limiting positions.

Abstract: A handheld blender, such as, for example, an immersion blender, includes a motor assembly and a tool assembly releasably connectable to the motor assembly. The tool assembly includes a tool shaft and a tool shank rotatably receiving the tool shaft. The motor assembly has a drive shaft and an approximately U-shaped expansion clamp. The tool shaft is structured to be non-rotatably coupled to the drive shaft when the tool assembly is connected to the motor assembly. The tool shank has a mounting groove, wherein the tool assembly is connected to the motor assembly by the approximately U-shaped expansion clamp engaging the mounting groove of the tool shank. To release the tool shank, the expansion clamp is displaced by a push button in the direction of an opposite push button having expansion surfaces on which the legs of the expansion clamp ride up, thus disengaging the expansion clamp from the mounting groove. To urge the tool shank away from the motor assembly, the push buttons have beveled surfaces.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an absorbent structure for an article of personal hygiene such as a diaper, sanitary napkin or incontinence product or for a medical product such as bandage material, having a top ply (18) facing the body and a bottom ply (22) underneath it. To improve the fluid absorption capacity of the structure so that even after more than one discharge of fluid the absorbent structure remains drier on the side facing the body, the invention proposes that the top ply has an upper layer (26) and, situated between upper layer and bottom ply, a lower layer (28) that contains a superabsorbent material (29). The bottom ply consists essentially of cellulose fibers only. The absorption capacity of the cellulose fibers of the upper layer is markedly lower than that of the cellulose fibers of the layers underneath. Between the two layers of the top ply a transition zone (30) can be formed, containing a mixture of the fibers of the two layers and the superabsorbent material.
