Abstract: A disposable maximum reading thermometer comprises a body (40) in which a capillary passage is defined, a reservoir (41) communicating with said passage and a heat expansible indicator medium (46) contained in said reservoir. The reservoir and the passage are adapted to allow expansion of the medium in the passage when the medium is subjected to heating. At least a part of the passage wall exposable to said indicator medium is adapted to undergo a detectable and irreversible change of its light penetration characteristics when brought into contact with the medium. The capillary passage is defined by a rod (48) arranged in a longitudinally extending bore (42) of the body (40). The surface of the rod is frosted (matt) or opalized, preferably by in a mechanical treatment, and adapted to be deopalized when brought into contact with the medium. The medium is preferably a greasy substance having an index of refraction substantially identical to the index of diffraction of the material of the body (40) and a melting point range of some degrees centigrade in the relevant temperature range.

Abstract: A tread configuration for pneumatic vehicle tires, especially for spare tires. A number of recesses are arranged in succession and next to each other in the circumferential direction of the tire. Transverse ribs and substantially circumferential ribs separate the recesses from one another and have a width which is approximately 1/4 to 3/4 of the circumferential dimension of the recesses. The radially outwardly located peripheral surface of the tire is subdivided into several segments. Within each of the segments, the circumferential dimension of the recesses and of the transverse ribs is constant, and the circumferential dimension of the recesses and of the transverse ribs is different in successive segments. The recesses are of such a cross-sectional shape or outline that at least one boundary line thereof is formed by an edge of a transverse rib. At least some of the circumferential ribs extend at an angle to the circumferential direction of the tire.

DN /DP NS = NJ - (NP - NJ ) . DN /DP in which EJ , NJ represent the co-ordinate values obtained by the drift DN of the course reference device and EP , NP represent the co-ordinate values obtained by the pseudo drift DP and that the unknown drift DN is determined from the difference alpha N in the alignments of the course reference device at the beginning and at the end of the journey travelled, which corresponds to the course angle error.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for continuously quenching a steel plate (12) with cooling water, by passing the steel plate through a water storage vessel (10) containing the cooling water. The cooling water for cooling the upper side of the steel plate is introduced into the upper section of the water storage vessel from an upper portion of the latter and is exhausted from an upper portion of the same through, for example, overflow. The cooling water for cooling the lower side of the steel plate is introduced into the lower section of the water storage vessel from a lower portion of the latter and exhausted from a lower portion of the same. The cooling water is agitated and moved by impellers (32, 34) disposed In the upper and lower sections of the storage vessel in the direction of movement of the steel plate or in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the steel plate which is clamped and fed linearly through the water storage vessel by means of upper and lower rolls (16,18). The water for cooling the upper side of the steel plate is circulated only through the upper section of the water storage vessel while the water for cooling the lower side of the steel plate is circulated only through the lower section of the water storage vessel.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft einen monolithischen Kondensator aus einem Isolierkörper aus dichtgesintertem keramischen Material mit in einem Abstand voneinander und parallel zueinander eingelagerten elektrisch leitenden Schichten (2), die abwechselnd zu einer von zwei gegenüberliegenden Außenflächen des Isolierkörpers verlaufen, wo sie durch Anschlußmetallschichten (3) zu den beiden Belägen des Kondensators zusammengeschaltet sind. Zur Erzielung einer sehr hohen Kapazität pro Volumeneinheit besteht der Isolierkörper aus einer halbleitenden Strontiumtitanatkeramik mit Korngrenzen-Sperrschichten. In Kenntnis der Tatsache, daß Edelmetalle bei einer derartigen Keramik in die Korngrenzen-Sperrschicht eindiffundieren und den Isolations-widerstand reduzierren würden, werden die elektrisch leitenden, aus unedlen Metallen oder Metallegierungen bestehenden Schichten (2) in offenporige, ein Netzwerk bildende Hohlräume (22) injiziert.

Abstract: In a radio communication system, a transmitting section of a substation comprises a controlling circuit (21) for controlling a carrier frequency of a local oscillator (24) in response to a frequency deviation signal. A burst generating circuit (26) generates a burst in response to the input signal, a burst control signal, and a local oscillation signal of the carrier frequency. The transmitting section further comprises a holding circuit (34) responsive to a frequency control signal and the burst control signal. During presence of the burst control signal, the holding circuit holds the frequency control signal received before a beginning of the burst control signal to keep the carrier frequency of the local oscillation signal invariable until an end of the burst control signal. Otherwise, the frequency control signal passes through the holding circuit as it stands. Consequently, the carrier frequency of the local. oscillation signal is controlled only during absence of the input signal and is kept invariable during presence of the input signal.

Abstract: The locally averaged or approximate D.C. value of a variable area optical sound track on a film is first determined, and this information is then used to control the width of a scanning slit at a playback station. The scanning slit width is reduced for small signals and increased for large signals, thereby reducing the amount of non-information bearing area on the film which is included in the scanned area. This in turn reduces the amount of noise from dirt and debris in the non-information bearing area, and by reducing the total amount of light transmitted through the film also lowers the level of quantum noise from the photodetector employed at the playback station.
