Abstract: Pour détecter, par l'intermédiaire d'une cellule photo-électrique (FE), l'énergie lumineuse des éléments électroluminescents du générateur de caractères d'une installation d'impression électrophotographique, on active les éléments électroluminescents, pendant la mesure, de telle manière que chaque élément émette une suite d'impulsions lumineuses, dépendant de cet élément, avec une énergie rayonnée de même valeur et une fréquence d'impulsions déterminée. Les signaux de sortie de la cellule photo-électrique (FE) sont dirigés vers un filtre passe-bas actif (V3) qui produit, à partir de ces signaux, une valeur moyenne qui est utilisée comme mesure de l'énergie rayonnée par les éléments électroluminescents dans le processus de réglage. Pour réduire l'importance des perturbations basse fréquence (tension secteur), on prévoit un dispositif anti-effluves à déclenchement. Le dispositif est utilisé à l'intérieur d'une installation de correction de l'énergie d'exposition pour le générateur optique de caractères d'une installation d'impression électrophotographique.

Abstract: A portable vapor-dispensing device is disclosed. The device comprises a housing (110), a fluid reservoir (200) for containing an evaporable fluid substance ("F"), a heating means, and a plume-emitting chimney (240). The heating means comprises a heating element (380) and a fluid passageway (320) which communicates with the fluid reservoir (200) and the plume-emitting chimney (240) and which provides a fluid-evaporation zone for the evaporable fluid substance ("F"). The fluid passageway (320) is disposed within the plume-emitting chimney (240). The heating element (380) is externally carried by the fluid passageway (320) and is disposed about the fluid-evaporation zone. The heating element, when energized, causes heat to pass radially through the sidewall of the fluid passageway (320), which in turn causes evaporation of the evaporable fluid substance ("F") from the fluid-evaporation zone. The chimney (240) emits a plume of the thus-evaporated substance, thereby providing an envelope of vapor about the portable device.

Abstract: A digital signal processor based automatic gain control (AGC) is disclosed for adjusting the gain of a signal processor. According to the invention, an input signal is provided and at least one value is determined based on the energy of the signal. Thereafter, the desired signal gain is computed responsive to the energy value or values. One advantage of this AGC is that it may easily be implemented in digital format by means of a digital signal processor (DSP).

Abstract: Lever with a knob (1) and an elongated part (2). In one of its ends the elongated part (2) carries the knob and is at a distance from the end connected to a mechanism that is to be operated. The knob includes an electrical switch (14, 12). The knob (1) is movable radially relative to the longitudinal axis (3) of the lever part and has a cavity (4) into which the lever part (2) protrudes with one of its ends (10). The cavity (4) has a peripheral surface (11) which defines a space to the surface (12) of said end of the lever part. In the space there is located an elastically, ring-shaped centering element (13) which at its outer periphery abuts against said peripheral surface of the space and at its inner periphery abuts against the surface (12) of the lever part and a ring-shaped, electrical contact element (14) being part of the switch which is immovably connected to the knob and adapted to follow this in its radial movements. The centering element (13) strives at centering the contact element relative to the end part (10) of the lever part. In a neutral position for the knob the movable contact element defines a space to the end part of the lever part (the end part is included as a second contact element in the switch). By a manual sidewards movement of the knob relative to the lever part the ring-shaped contact element will be moved into an eccentric position and into contact with the second contact element.

Abstract: A hearing aid with microphone (1), electronic amplifier (2) and reproduction loudspeaker (3) exhibits a linear/logarithmic converter (6). The control current Is output by this converter (6) is exponential with respect to the rotation of the operating knob of a linear potentiometer (5), by means of which the gain of the amplifier (2) can be set. A linear rotation of the operating knob of the potentiometer (5) thus produces a linear rising or decreasing of the volume output by the loudspeaker. The direction of rotation and the zero point of the potentiometer (5) can be reversed by means of a change-over switch (7), the amplifier characteristic remaining the same in relation to the rotation of the potentiometer (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for producing color change devices incorporating latent indicia and color change devices incorporating latent indicia produced by the process. The process involves anodizing a color generating metal, having limited surface areas thereof covered by a mask, in the presence of a fluoride as an adhesion-reducing agent in order to produce a color-generating laminate incorporating an anodic film having detachable and non-detachable areas. The improvement of the invention involves forming the mask from a masking material which permits anodization of areas of the surface covered by the mask while preventing the adhesion-reducing agent from exerting a substantial adhesion-reducing effect in the areas of the surface covered by the mask. The anodic film having the detachable and non-detachable areas can then be formed by means of a single anodization step carried out in the presence of the adhesion-reducing agent. It is therefore unnecessary to employ two partial anodization steps as in the past, which simplifies the fabrication procedure and makes the procedure less expensive.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the mechanical cleaning of foundry used sand by means of thermomechanical regenerations, in which the sand is blown pneumatically against a deflection hood and the mechanical-pneumatic cleaning is performed batchwise in a separate container. The process can be used both as pre-cleaning and as after-cleaning. In the case of pre-cleaning there is a simultaneous drying, preheating, pre-cleaning and sifting, whereas with after-cleaning there is a simultaneous cooling, after-cleaning and sifting. As a result of the batchwise operation, all the quartz particles are exposed roughly to the same friction treatment and consequently, in conjunction with a simple control of the cleaning process, reduced grain destruction is achieved.
