Title: Vehicular headlight providing high-beam and depressed-beam illumination, and light source therefor
Inventor: PEITZ WOLFGANG
IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 1997-02-21
Granted: 2004-10-05
Abstract: To provide for improved light distribution of a vehicular headlight furnishing both depressed-beam and high-beam illumination, a shadow cap (9, 25) partly surrounds a main light source located in a reflector (2) which has two segments ( 14, 15 ) of different contours. The first one (14) of the reflector segments is optically associated with the main light source furnishing depressed-beam illumination, and this segment has a free-formed surface reflection contour. A second segment of the reflector is optically associated with an auxiliary light source (8, 18) which is shaded by a shadow cap. The shadow cap (9, 25 ) provides a shadow angle of between 100° and 140° with respect to light emitted from the main light source (7) to define a shadow zone (12) and a light zone (13) on the reflector. The shadow cap is shaped and positioned with respect to the auxiliary light source such that the auxiliary light source is located within the shadow zone (12). The auxiliary light source is located by an offset of between 0.25 and 2 tunes below the optical axis (A) of the reflector, and the spatial distribution of the segments is such that the reflector is associated with a light zone and a shadow zone, respectively, as formed by the shadow cap. For high-beam illumination, both the auxiliary light source and the main light source, typically filaments of a halogen incandescent lamp, are energized, so that the respective illuminations are superposed, providing spread-out illumination from the main light source (7) and somewhat diffused spread illumination as well as a concentrated beam from the auxiliary light source (8, 18).

Abstract: An adjustable mechanism for vending products includes left and right column walls defining a column divided into front and rear sections for retaining the products in front and rear corded stacks. A rear spacer provided at the back side of the column is laterally adjustable relative to the front side of the column to accommodate products of different lengths in the rear section. Front and rear product funnels are positioned respectively in the front and rear sections above the bottom end of the column, with front and rear adjustable product ramps interposed between the outlets of the front and rear product funnels, respectively, and the open bottom end of the column. The front and rearadjustable product ramps are independently pivotable about their pivot axes in response to movement of front and rear adjustment rods to change the width of the open bottom of the column at the front and back sections to accommodate products of different diameters. Front and rear rotatable cradles are positioned below the outlets of the front and rear product funnels, respectively, to releasably support the bottommost products in the front and rear corded stacks, and are independently rotatable to vend products independently from the front and rear stacks. The cradles are rotated by front and rear motors drivingly connected to the front and rear rotatable cradles, respectively. The front and rear adjustment rods each have a forward end formed into a handle which extends forwardly of the front side of the column through a cover plate covering the front side of the column. The cover plate includes a gauge thereon indicating positions of the handles corresponding to preselected product sizes. The cover plate can further include a size gauge for measuring the size of an article.

Abstract: Des codes de cellule serveuse, p. ex. codes couleur de groupe, sont affectés automatiquement à des cellules serveuses d'un réseau de communications cellulaires. Pour les cellules serveuses qui partagent une fréquence, les codes de cellule serveuse indiquent généralement la distance par rapport à une cellule serveuse initiale arbitrairement choisie. Lorsqu'une cellule serveuse est ajoutée, on ne tient compte que des cellules serveuses partageant le groupe de canaux associés à cette nouvelle cellule serveuse; les codes des autres cellules serveuses demeurent inchangés.

Abstract: A ceramic fiber composite structure particularly suitable for use as a hot gas cleanup ceramic fiber composite filter and method of making same from ceramic composite material has a structure which provides for increased strength and toughness in high temperature environments. The ceramic fiber composite structure or filter is made by a process in which a continuous ceramic fiber is intimately surrounded by dicontinuous chopped ceramic fibers during manufacture to produce a ceramic fiber composite preform which is then bonded using various ceramic binders. The ceramic fiber composite preform is then fired to create a bond phase at the fiber contact points. Parameters such as fiber tension, spacing, and the relative proportions of the continuous ceramic fiber and chopped ceramic fibers can be varied as the continuous ceramic fiber and chopped ceramic fiber are simultaneously formed on the porous vacuum mandrel to obtain a desired distribution of the continuous ceramic fiber and the chopped ceramic fiber in the ceramic fiber composite structure or filter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a dispatch system in a cellular radiotelephone system. Membership in a dispatch group is implicitly created by assigning a common telephone number to all members of the dispatch group and/or explicitly by association of the mobile stations with one or more dispatch groups in a centralized database of a cellular telephone network. A telephone call placed by a dispatcher or mobile stations having membership in the dispatch group results in the cellular telephone network contacting each of the members of the dispatch group to create a full duplex conference call between all members of the dispatch group. In one embodiment of the present invention, the telephone calls to the mobile stations are conferenced together at the gateway to the cellular telephone network, and in another embodiment of the present invention, the telephone calls to the mobile stations are hierarchically conferenced together.

Abstract: A harvesting machine includes a crop intake arrangement including either a reel or a crop hold down which operate to aid in the advancement of harvested crop into the machine for further processing. In the event of a jam or the presence of metal occurring, the crop intake arrangement may be operated in reverse so as to expel the jam and/or sensed metal. An actuator is provided for moving the reel or crop hold down between non-operating and operating positions and a first sensor for sensing a jam condition and/or the presence of metal is provided which sends a signal when such a condition exists, this signal being used to effect automatic operation of said actuator so as to move the reel or hold down to a non-operating position so as not to interfere with the expulsion of the jam and/or metal. Other controls are provided and other parameters are sensed for delaying and/or overriding the automatic positioning of the reel or crop hold down in their non-operating position. One such parameter is provided by a timing device which prevents automatic positioning of the reel or crop hold down when the signal indicating a jam or the presence of metal does not endure for a pre-selected time interval. Another parameter is provided by a sensing device which determines whether or not the machine is traveling in the forward direction.  If it is, after a jam or the presence of metal is sensed, then a signal is issued which causes the reel and/or hold down to be returned to its operating position.
