Abstract: A sheet supply apparatus according to the present invention has a pawl separation means (23) for separating sheets (P) one by one by regulating the tip ends and upper surfaces of tip end portions of the sheets (P), which pawl separation means (23) can be retarded from a sheet regulating position when it is urged by the sheet with a predetermined force. With this arrangement, sheets (P) having small resiliency such as plain sheets are separated one by one by successively riding over the pawl separation means (23), and sheets having great resiliency such as post cards and envelopes urge the pawl separation means (23) to a retracted position to pass through the pawl separation means and are separated one by one by means of another separation means.

IPC: H04L27/22

Abstract: The invention relates to a baseband signal combiner and to a sampler typically used in radio relay systems but also in generic communication systems. 
     In order to avoid temporary failures in the free space links, space and/or frequency diversity techniques are used, which consist in the use of two suitable spaced receive antennas or of two transmission frequencies. By suitably combining the signals thus received, the failures in radio links can be redued. 
     The invention provides the use of a particular algorithm of the type CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) which, being independent of the combined signal phase, does not interact with the carrier recovery circuits. 
     Moreover, by applying the same algorithm also to the sampler, the cooperation of the two circuits to the optimization of the output signal is obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the catalytic electrochemical reduction of nitrate, principally to give elemental nitrogen in aqueous solutions at a cathode. The aim of the invention is to denitrify even concentrated salt-containing aqueous solutions by these nitrate reductions. The aqueous solution is introduced into the cathode compartment of an electrolysis cell, in which the cathode compartment and anode compartment are separated from each other by a cation exchange membrane, and is subjected to a voltage in the same.

Abstract: The invention is used for a flexible floor covering which consists predominantly of plastic and is assembled from individual sections to form a large-surface-area structure, and the invention relates to the configuration of the joints of the individual interconnected sections. The invention aims to avoid a formation of joint gaps in the case of an assemblable floor covering which is made up of interconnected sections. The object of developing a deformation-resistant profile and a corner-point profiling for a mushroom-like edge profiling, which comprises teeth, of floor-covering sections has been achieved according to the invention in that the head part of each tooth is formed by a convex outer contour and the foot part is formed on both sides by a concave inner contour which corresponds, in terms of its curvature, to the convex outer contour and forms the lower boundary of the tooth spacing, there being provided, between the head part and foot part, a shaft part exhibiting a transition contour which connects the inner contour to the outer contour and is of a mirror-inverted formation with respect to a centre axis.

Abstract: The amount of particulate matter that is forced into the passenger compartment of an automobile by the deployment of an air bag as it protects the lives of occupants is reduced by improving the filterability of the combustion products of a composition for generating gas to inflate the bag. The filterability is improved by adding a nucleating agent for alkali metal halide vapors formed during said combustion. Silica, alumina, and graphite are representative of the nucleating agents.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for creating an array of bumps to texture a brittle surface, such as a glass substrate 12 for data recording disks. The texturing process uses a laser 10 to provide pulses of proper energy fluence to the brittle glass surface to produce a plurality of raised bumps in the surface. The bump creation is accomplished without unwanted micro-cracking or ejection of surface material by limiting the laser pulse fluence to a value in a narrow operating region discovered below the abrupt thermal shock fluence threshold for the brittle surface material. The process is also applicable to other brittle surface textures, such as those intended for use as "stamping surfaces" for the contact reproduction of the negative of a surface pattern, such as an optical disk.

Abstract: A nozzle for providing an oscillating fluid stream has a stationary segment (11), and at least one oscillating segment (12) pivoted to the stationary segment (11). In one embodiment, the fluid stream impinges on an inwardly turned lip (25) on the oscillating segment (12) to drive the oscillation. In other embodiments, the reaction of the fluid discharge assists in driving the oscillation of the nozzle, with or without assistance of the inwardly turned lip. For high pressure systems, including the use of liquids, the segments may be more massive to redirect the fluid stream. For compact systems, the plural segments may be completely housed within the stationary segment.

Title: Process and device for detecting misfiring
Inventor: KLENK MARTIN
IPC: G01M15/00
Filed: 1994-04-28
Abstract: A process for detecting misfiring in an internal combustion engine in which: uneven running values are detected giving a measure of changes in the crankshaft speed of the engine caused by misfiring; the distance between bands of uneven running values is calculated; a check is made to discover whether the calculated band distance is greater than a preset threshold and, if so, the information is used as an indication that there is misfiring and not irregularities in the crankshaft speed; if there is no significant band distance greater than the threshold and, in addition, irregular running lies below a preset negative threshold, this is used as an indication of the presence of irregularities in the crankshaft speed and misfiring detection is stopped. This process makes it possible to distinguish reliably between major running irregularities caused by misfiring and corresponding values caused by irregularities which may be transmitted to the engine from the drive train.

Abstract: A one-transistor flash EEPROM cell structure and a method for making the same is provided so that the effective channel length dimension is independent of the critical dimensions of the stacked gate structure. The cell structure (210) includes an n⁻ buried channel/junction region (216) which is implanted in a substrate (212) before formation of a tunnel oxide (226) and a stacked gate structure (234). After the formation of the stacked gate structure, a p-type drain region (222) is implanted with a large tilt angle in the substrate. Thereafter, n⁺ source and n⁺ drain regions (218,224) are implanted in the substrate so as to be self-aligned to the stacked gate structure. The cell structure of the present invention facilitates scalability to small size and is useful in high density application.
