Patent EP-1017537-B1 (EP)
Inventor: KUENDIG STEPHAN
IPC: B24B41/06

Abstract: The invention relates to a grinding machine on a frame (11), comprising a supporting table which is horizontally mobile and can be retracted vertically, a pair of stops (18, 19) which, when not in use, are nested in a closed shelter under said supporting table, and a grinding-belt support (12). If need be, for example when grinding veneer edges, the stops (18, 19) can be retracted to said grinding-belt support (12) after the supporting table has been removed and reclined. A grinding cushion which is fitted on the belt support (12) between the stops (18, 19) supplements the device, thereby converting it into a facility known in practice as a veneer grinding machine. Since the belt support (12) and the stops (18, 19) have an identical rotation angle (A), including when the stops are mounted on the fixing element (22) of the band support (12), the veneer grinding machine moves as a result of the band support (12) being tilted by means of a rotating lever (23) and thus positions itself parallel to said band support, without any further handling required.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical transmitter for emitting light signals, especially for simultaneously activating light signal receivers present within a spatial range. Said optical transmitter has a laser diode (10) and an optical transmitting system. Said laser diode (10) emits an especially pulsed, concentrated laser beam (14). The optical transmitting system has a Fresnel mirror (12) and a primary mirror (15) whose convex mirror surface (151) is turned towards the mirror surfaces (121) of the Fresnel mirror (12). This enables the transmitter to illuminate as large a solid angle as possible, and gives a compact, robust structure. The laser diode (10) is located in the centre of the Fresnel mirror (12), coaxial to the axis of the Fresnel mirror (12) and the primary mirror (15) in the direction of emission (13) of the laser diode (10) and at a distance in front of and coaxial to the exit aperture (11).

Abstract: A facsimile machine for single sheets comprises an ink-jet printing head (54) and a line feed device (41) mounted upstream of the printing line (59) to make the sheet (50) advance incrementally. A technical problem of the machine is that of printing adjacent to a trailing edge of the sheet, and that it should be of relatively low cost. An extraction mechanism (82) is provided, having driven rollers (80,85) which may be activated from a state of disengagement with a partially printed sheet to a state of engagement with the sheet. The sheet is drawn forward sufficiently to enable the head to print lines adjacent to the trailing edge of the sheet. The extraction mechanism is actuated when a given reference position of the sheet with respect to the head is detected. A single service motor (84) and suitable cam means (86) drive the special mechanisms of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The nonrecursive digital filter has variable coefficients for the purpose of shifting the frequency response from one characteristic frequency fc1 to another characteristic frequency fc2. The method enables calculating the coefficients of the nonrecursive digital filter for shifting the frequency response of the filter from one characteristic frequency fc1 to another characteristic frequency fc2. The coefficients of a prototype of the filter are prescribed or calculated for a given sampling frequency, the continuous time impulse response associated with this prototype is calculated and the impulse response is sampled at the sampling frequency fa2=fa1* fc1/fc2. The new coefficients are thereby produced. The filter can then be operated with the new coefficients at the old sampling frequency. As an alternative, the new coefficients can be calculated from the coefficients of the prototype of the filter by interpolating the values of the continuous time impulse response at an interval of 1/fa2.

Abstract: A process of mechanical hydroforming, in which a hollow tube is caused to expand against the interior surface of a die that surrounds the tube by hydraulic pressure applied to a liquid that fills the interior of the tube, is improved by coating the part of the exterior surface of the tube that comes into contact with the die surface against which it expands with a wax that is solid at normal room temperature but can be maintained fully melted and in contact with air, without showing any visible evidence of decomposition, at a temperature that is at least 75 degrees C. Preferably, the wax is applied to the surface to be hydroformed by spraying from melt onto the surface while the latter is maintained above the melt temperature of the wax. Shortly after the wax has been thus applied to the surface, the wax is cooled until it solidifies. Most preferably, the wax is an "oxidized hydrocarbon" wax that is about 95% hydrocarbon and 5% straight chain carboxylic acids and contains a wide variety of molecular weights of both hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids.
