Abstract: Bei Martrix-Tastaturen. bei denen die Tasten mit galvani­
schen Kontakten jeweils an Kreuzungspunkten von Leitern ange­
ordnet sind, wird in Reihe mit jedem Tastenkontakt ein Wider­
stand angeordnet, um ein N-key Rollover zu ermöglichen, d.h. 
die gleichzeitige Betätigung mehrerer Tasten in beliebiger Anord­
nung. Bei manchen technischen Realisierungen der Tastenkon­
takte, beispielsweise in Form von durch Siebdruck auf Kunststoff­
folien aufgebrachten elektrisch leitenden Materialien, müssen die 
Widerstände in gleicher Weise hergestellt werden, was jedoch 
nicht mit der erforderlichen geringen Toleranz möglich ist, um 
Phantomtasten sicher zu vermeiden. Daher wird erfindungsge­
mäss vorgeschlagen, die abgefragten Matrixleitungen auf einen 
Punkt niedriger Impedanz zu führen. Dadurch wird weitgehend 
eine Stromsteuerung angewendet, durch die auf der abgefragten 
Leitung keine Signalspannung entstehen kann, die über andere 
betätigte Tasten Rückwirkungen erzeugen kann. Der Punkt 
niedrigen Potentials wird zweckmässigerweise durch den inver­
tierenden Eingang eines mit einem Widerstand gegengekoppel­
ten Operationsverstärkers gebildet.

Title: Impervious sealing and production method for creating self-supporting and excavatable ground masses for the realization of subterranean constructions such as hollow structures or the like
IPC: E02D19/12
Filed: 1986-01-15
Abstract: The impervious sealing and the production method for it make it possible to replace the expensive methods of shield tunnelling or freezing and as a result eliminate interference with the ground-water balance and prepare the ground masses to be excavated in such a way that they can be continuously excavated in timed sequence with the subterranean construction from a secured position and in the dry. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the impervious sealing consists of an elastic sealing jacket (3) which is formed from sealing walls (2) arranged in the form of a canopy, screen, housing or the like and which hermetically seals off the ground masses (5) to be excavated from the ground water (4) and/or from air. In the production method provided for this, the ground masses (5) in place of a site to be driven dry are sealed off from the ground water (4) and/or the air by a sealing jacket, are dewatered, are compacted under the pressure of the ground water (4) in place on the outside of the sealing jacket (3) and/or are stabilised by applying a vacuum. <IMAGE>

wall (12) into the blood stream. A sensing device, such as a thermistor (50), 
is mounted on the catheter downstream of the port to measure changes in the 
properties of the fluid resulting from fluid injection for thermodilution 
applications. The space (45) within the lumen (18) insulates the fluid 
from the catheter environment and the small bore inner passage (44) 
reduces residual fluid permitting small fluid injections that accommodate 
frequent injection measurements.

Abstract: A printed circuit board is scanned by a video camera (11) 
coupled to a processor (12) to provide a serial stream of bits 
each indicative of a picture element within a particular scan 
line. The serial stream of bits is transformed by a RAM based 
serial to parallel converter (13) and the data grouped into 
arrays, each representative of a contiguous patch of picture 
elements composed of n x n picture elements by a patch 
generator (14) which also computes a binary number repre­
sentative of the patch. Each of these binary numbers is com­
pared with a corresponding one of a set binary numbers 
developed in a similar way by a patch generator (16) couple to 
a memory (15) storing a pixel pattern representative of a 
perfect master printed circuit board. Failure of the printed 
circuit board to match the stored master indicates a flaw. 
Overlapping patches are generated to ensure detection of 
defects which occur in adjacent patches.

Filed: 1986-06-20
Abstract: A method for controlling computer program sequences 
has a command shell with a set of programs and program 
control files for use with the computer program sequences. A 
sequencing program makes decisions as to which computer 
program should be run next with which control file, and gene­
rates the job control language (JCL) to run it. A sequencing 
text contains a strategy which the sequencing program uses 
to decide which program control file combination to run. An 
interactive monitor program helps submit and monitor a 
sequence while it is running. The user prepares the design 
input file and submits it with the aid of the monitor program. 
The monitor program also checks and reports the completion 
of the process and makes a final report. The sequence then 
runs to completion or terminates in an error.

Title: Hydrogenation process
IPC: C07C31/125
Filed: 1986-08-05
Abstract: A continuous multi-stage hydrogenation process is described.This is effected in at least three catalytic stages connected in series. All stages up to and including the penultimate stage are operated adiabatically and in the vapour phase. Aldehyde (or other unsaturated organic compound) is fed to all stages ut to and including the penultimate stage. The rate of supply of the aldehyde or other unsaturated organic compound to the penultimate stage is controlled in relation to the catalyst volume in the penultimate catalytic stage so that the degree of hydrogenation in that stage is less than 100 %. The remaining chemically unsaturated material in the product mixture from the penultimate stage is hydrogenated, after cooling that product mixture, in the final catalytic stage to produce a substantially completely hydrogenated product mixture. In this way the dwell time of the reactants and product(s) at "hot spot" temperatures is minimised, thus reducing byproduct formation.

rotation relative to the mandrel structure, the 
toroid structure having an inner cylindrical 
interface surface (62) in juxtaposed relation to the 
interface surface (50) of the mandrel structure. The 
mandrel and toroid structures cooperate to define a 
through flow passage (36, 70, 66) between the mandrel 
coupling (20) and a toroid port (68) in the external 
surface of the swivel and further cooperate to define 
an annular seal chamber (72) between the juxtaposed 
interface surfaces on either side of the through 
passage. Metal seal ring structure (74) is disposed 
in each seal chamber, each seal ring structure having 
first and second sealing surfaces (92, 94: 92, 94 
respectively) for engaging corresponding seal chamber 
defining surfaces of the mandrel and toroid 
structures respectively, and each sealing surface has 
relatively hard (92) and soft portions (96). Bearing 
structure (78) between the mandrel and toroid 
structures is located so that each seal chamber is 
between the adjacent bearing structure (78) and the 
through passage (36, 70, 66).
