Title: Connecteur electrique et commutateur interne
Inventor: KOCH RICHARD M
IPC: H01R13/703
Filed: 1998-07-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un connecteur électrique (1) comprenant un corps (2) et un commutateur (10) placé dans une cavité (180) du corps, lequel comporte un orifice (161) conduisant de l'une de ses surfaces extérieures à la cavité. L'orifice est conçu pour recevoir des conducteurs (61, 162) reliés aux éléments de connexion du commutateur (10).

Title: Improved handheld document scanner
Inventor: NEUKERMANS ARMAND P
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1998-07-23
Abstract: A document transport for a scanner (100) has a flexible, elongated finger (226) disposed adjacent to a document (134), and a force applied to the finger (226) urges teeth (233) on the finger (226) into contact with the document (134) which urges the document (134) along a path through the scanner (100). A piezoelectric plate (222), which applies the force to the finger (226), requires only a small amount of electrical power. To traverse the scanner (100), a document (134) may also be manually fed along a guide (272). First and second speed-sensing detectors (276a and 276b), disposed along the path traversed by the document (134), permit the scanner (100) to determine a speed at which the manually fed document (134) traverses the scanner (100). To conserve electrical energy, the scanner (100) also includes a document-presence detector (274) for activating the scanner (100) when a document (134) to be scanned is present.

IPC: B07C5/34
Filed: 1998-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for identifying and sorting objects which are conveyed on a belt, especially for sorting waste. The nature of the material that the objects consist of is determined spectroscopically using an NIR measuring device (13) and the objects are sorted according to the result of the spectroscopy in that they are removed from the conveyor belt (7, 8, 9). According to the invention, the shape and/or the nature of the surfaces of the objects and the position of the objects on the conveyor belt (7, 8, 9) are determined (12) before the nature of the material that they consist of. The objects are then scanned by the measuring point (19) of the NIR measuring device (13) according to at least their position and removed from the conveyor belt (7, 8, 9). This guarantees a high identification and sorting rate and ensures that the system functions reliably.

Inventor: DOERING ANDREAS DIPL-ING
IPC: B01D53/94
Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: For the intermittent operation a correction is carried out over the change of the catalyst charge, e.g. determined from the injection amount, gas pedal adjustment or manifold pressure change and/or from exhaust gas temperature changes and/or from NOx concentration changes, either from a performance graph or from sensors.  Process for adding a reductant to an internal combustion engine exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides spatially to the exhaust gas line before a catalyst system comprises drawing up engine-specific values for the NOx concentration and exhaust gas amount determined in connection with a reference internal combustion engine and the temperature of the exhaust gas sensed during engine operation, and calculating a reductant rate using these parameters. This reductant rate is subjected to a (high) dynamic correction depending on load changes on the engine and a corresponding reductant amount is fed to the exhaust gas stream. For the intermittent operation a correction is carried out over the change of the catalyst charge, e.g. determined from the injection amount, gas pedal adjustment or manifold pressure change and/or from exhaust gas temperature changes and/or from NOx concentration changes, either from a performance graph or from sensors.

Abstract: The bobbin winder assembly, with a reciprocating yarn guide (6), has a sensor coupled to the yarn guide to measure the lengt and position of the bobbin sleeve (3) in relation to a reference point of the yarn guide (6). According to the monitored measurement the stroke movement of the yarn guide (6) is positioned. Before bobbin winding starts, the yarn guide (6) is moved along at least one full stroke movement, for the measurements. Th sensor is a monitor (14) coupled to the yarn guide (6), or it is the yarn guide itself. It is connected to a control (13) where sensor signals are arranged unambiguously with each guide stroke movement. The sensor has an inductive or optical action, or is mechanical feeler (6,14). The bobbin sleeve (3) has at least one flange (4) to be detected by a mechanical feeler (6,14). Before winding starts, the yarn guide (6) is given at least two full stroke movements at different gaps from the sleeve mantle, for the contour of at least one flange (4) to be computed by the control (13). The yarn guide (6) is powered by a motor (10) to give the guide (6) an unambiguous stroke position in relation the rotary position of the rotor.
