Abstract: A compact electronic weighing scale whose major dimension is not substantially greater than the width of an average adult shoe and comprises a capacitive load cell adapted to be acted upon by an annular load transmission element coupled to the weighing platform. The capacitive load cell and the load transmission element are so dimensioned that the change in capacitance of the load cell in response to a load acting upon the weighing platform is substantially uniform regardless of the point of application of the load on the weighing platform.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inking device for a pad transfer printing machine, the inking and doctor blade equipment being designed as a bottomless hollow body (51). If the hollow body (51) does not rest firmly on the block (53), the latter becomes smeared and the copies obtained are completely unsatisfactory and blurred. In order to achieve a tight resting of the hollow body (51) on the block (53), the latter is pressed onto the block (53) by magnets, in particular by an annular magnet (71). To prevent the ink from drying inside the hollow body (51), a stirrer (56) is mounted rotatably therein. In this case, the annular magnet (71) is arranged in an annular groove (70) of the stirrer (56), said annular groove being open towards the block (53).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the lithographic production of galvanically shaped microstructures having a triangular or trapezoidal cross section of resist material. 
<??>A process is to be specified by means of which microstructures having a triangular or trapezoidal cross section can be produced using the conventional masks with vertical walls. The inclination of the microstructural walls of the structures generated should be freely selectable within wide limits without changing the mask structure. 
<??>According to the invention, the object is achieved by the fact that the resist layer is rotated by an angle +  alpha  with respect to a plane defined perpendicularly to the incident radiation during a first irradiation, then the resist layer is rotated by the angle -  alpha  with respect to the plane defined perpendicularly to the incident radiation during a second irradiation, during which process the areas irradiated during the first irradiation and during the second irradiation overlap at the interface between resist layer and base, whereafter the resist layer is developed in a manner known per se.

Abstract: A gasket holding and feeding magazine (12) is described which includes a plurality of similar, adjacent compartments (20), each of which is sized to hold a single gasket therein. The magazine is moved over a stationary floor plate within which is formed a bottom opening of size to permit a gasket to drop therethrough. As each compartment of the magazine is moved into registry above the floor opening, a gasket will drop through the opening and will be directed to a lower gasket holding and clamping plate (31). The clamping plate securely holds the gasket to allow a belling mandrel (28) to be inserted through the clamping plate and to secure the gasket. The mandrel will then automatically pick-up the gasket as the mandrel is advanced relative to the clamping plate whereby the gasket will be automatically inserted into the pipe end during the belling operation. Upon completion of the pipe bell and cooling of the belled end, when the mandrel is withdrawn, the gasket will remain encapsulated within the belled end of the pipe.

Abstract: The hinge assembly has a fixed hinge part assigned to the seat part and a swivellable hinge part assigned to the backrest, which hinge parts are connected to one another via a pivot axle. The position of the two hinge parts with respect to one another is determined by means of an adjustment and fixing device constructed as a gear system, the pivot axle having an eccentric section for the purpose of bearing the one hinge part, which section has a driver which is fixed in terms of rotation to the pivot axle. This driver engages between the narrow sides of two wedge segments which are inclined with respect to one another and engage around the pivot axle in certain areas, and between whose broad sides an energy accumulator which presses said broad sides apart from one another to the effect of reducing radial play is arranged. 
<??>In order to make the adjustment movement easier, the eccentric section is composed of, in addition to the wedge segments, a sickle-like centring segment which is arranged next to said wedge segments and is supported on the pivot axle in certain areas. The bearing bore of one eccentrically mounted hinge part engages around this centring segment as well as around the wedge segments. As a result, in the case of adjustment, an exclusive support of the hinge part on the centring segment takes place so that a more easily movable adjustment is possible as a result of the radial play which then occurs.

Abstract: This invention provides methods and apparatus for removing contaminant particles from a surface of an article (113). In one embodiment, a surface of an article (120) to be cleaned is immersed in cleaning liquid (117) in a pressure vessel chamber (115) and a dissolving gas (119) is dissolved into the cleaning liquid (117) at high pressure. A pressure relief valve (123) is then suddenly opened, bubbles spontaneously form in the liquid, and the contaminants are dislodged from the surface of the article (113) and carried toward the surface of the liquid (117) by the bubbles. A small amount of the cleaning liquid containing the dissolved gas can further be caused to form a thin frozen layer (120) on the surface of a submerged article to be cleaned, before the chamber pressure is then dropped suddenly, causing a spontaneous bubble formation in the frozen layer that moves the contaminant particles away from the surface to be cleaned. The contaminants and cleaning liquid or the frozen layer are then removed from the surface.

Abstract: An adder (204,206,208) and a comparator (242) form portions of a modular memory address block determination circuit. The starting address of the first block and the enable signal of the first block are added to produce the starting address of the second block. This procedure is repeated for each block. The determined starting address for each block is compared with the requested memory address and, unless the block is inhibited or disabled, if equal a signal indicates a match. The circuit is used on a circuit board which emulates three conventionally separate memory circuit boards. The registers for each emulated circuit board are provided and appropriate bus signals are developed.

Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus for executing a process to an input image in accordance with the characteristics thereof, comprising: an input device to input iamge data; a detector to detect the characteristics of the input image; and a processor to execute first and second processes such as brightness correcting processes or color balance correcting processes for the input image data on the basis of weights corresponding to the characteristics of the input image. When the weight of the first process is large, the weight of the second process is set to a small value. As the characteristics of the input image are deviated from a predetermined condition, the processor sets the weight of the first process to a small value and sets the weight of the second process to a large value. With the appa­ratus, the brightness and the color balance of the input image are preferably corrected and a natural image can be output irrespective of the characteristics of the image reading apparatus.
