Abstract: A method is specified for measuring earth faults on the conductors of electrical machines, in which method the fault resistance (Rf) is directly calculated from the injected voltage (Ui) and the measured voltage (URE) in a digital evaluation unit (7). Since the fault resistance is explicitly calculated and indicated, it is independent of the influences of the earth reactance. In addition, it is not necessary to record characteristic curves, with the aid of which the fault resistance is reduced, for each machine. Furthermore, by virtue of the digital calculation, the influence of deterioration, temperature fluctuations, injection-level fluctuations etc. is eliminated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A preferably hand-held bar code scanner is described in which an invisible laser beam is scanned along a line across the bars of a code in a nominal plane 92 (Fig. 8) in which the bars of said code are disposed; associated with said bar code scanner and preferably integrated with the (hand-held) bar code scanner assembly there is a marker beam system which comprises a source 78 of visible light and associated optics 48 providing a focus of said visible light marker beam along a line 98 generally congruent with the line along which said invisible beam is scanned. For providing said visible light line focus substantially congruent with the line along which the invisible laser beam is scanned, the optics 48 may be an anamorphic or cylindrical lens. The cylindrical lens preferably may serve a double duty in that additionally to providing the visible light line focus of the marker beam system, it may also contribute to suitably shaping the invisible laser beam used for scanning the code bars and/or may also contribute in collecting and focussing the invisible laser beam radiation reflected back from the bar code plane scanned, for detection in the means for reading the bar code.The apparatus disclosed and described thus provides an improved marker beam system which generates a line congruent with the scan path of the invisible laser beam and centered with respect to the length of the scanning path, thus enabling the person handling the bar code reader to reliably and optimally direct the invisible laser scanning beam towards, and into alignment with, the bar code to be read.

Abstract: Tubular shirred sticks of food casing are all equal diameter arranged in a stack with the longitudinal axes of the sticks parallel to form sides of the stack and the stick ends coplanar to form ends of the stack. The sticks are arranged in rows piled one on another with the number of rows and sticks in each row being arranged to provide the stack with a preselected shape in transverse cross-section. A retainer is disposed in tension transversely around said stack and pressing radially inward against the periphery of the stack for bundling the sticks together and securing the shape of the stack. The retainer has an inner surface disposed against the stack periphery and an outer surface. The retainer has a first end and an opposite second end which extend parallel to the longitudinal axes of the sticks and which overlap along one side of the stack. The first end defines an underlayer against the stack and the second end defines an overlayer superimposed on said underlayer. A connector releasably units the underlayer to the overlayer, said being in direct contact with then inner surface of the overlayer and with said underlayer for holding the retainer.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming a high-resolution photoresist layer on a substrate, such as a metal-clad circuit board blank. A dry film is used which comprises a support sheet, a negative-acting, alkaline aqueous developable photoresist layer in direct contact with the support sheet, and a protective sheet. The protective sheet is removed and the photoresist layer is cut sheet laminated to the substrate. Then the support sheet is removed. The photoresist layer is baked until its exposed surface is non-tacky. Artwork is laid directly in contact with the non-tacky exposed surface, and the photoresist layer is exposed to actinic radiation through the art work. The photoresist layer is then developed in alkaline aqueous solution. The photoresist layer is highly resolved. Subsequent processing steps, such as plating or etching and stripping yield a printed circuit board having highly resolved lines and spaces. Photoresists of specific formulation are found to be bakeable to a non-tacky surface with minimal loss of photospeed.
