Abstract: An unbalanced Mach Zehnder optical frequency discriminator (20) is linearized to suppress third order nonlinear distortion. An optical carrier that is modulated in optical frequency is input to an unbalanced Mach Zehnder interferometer (20) to discriminate RF information signals carried on the carrier. The Mach Zehnder interferometer has an adjustable operating point. The operating point is adjusted to a point where the output intensity of the Mach Zehnder interferometer (20) is no more than about ten percent of its maximum value. In order to avoid problems with second order distortion, the optical carrier is modulated with RF signals that do not occupy more than a single octave. The operating point of the device can be adjusted by adjusting an electrical bias thereof (28), by adjusting the wavelength of the optical carrier (27), or by adjusting the temperature of the device (25, 29).

Abstract: Rucksack (1) with a carrying frame to be fitted on the back of a wearer (10). In order to impede the movement of the wearer by the presence of the rucksack to a lesser extent, the carrying frame is split into an upper frame section (4) and a lower frame section (5) which are connected to one another by a single hinge (6) which acts three-dimensionally and can be put under pressure. It has been found that the optimum position of the hinge point is in the vicinity of the lumbar region of the wearer. In order to prevent the holder fitted on the carrying frame from imparting to the rucksack a certain rigidity which still impedes the freedom of movement of the wearer, according to the invention holders (2,3) which are separate from one another are fixed to the upper frame section (4) and the lower frame section (5).

Abstract: A FIFO memory buffer in a serial digital video interface allows improved timing synchronization between video and audio information and eliminates unpleasant sound effects when multiple data samples are skipped or repeated in series. The FIFO receiver buffer (100) receives and outputs data at respective rates. The FIFO's fullness is monitored and maintained, in response to an external signal, to within a specified range deliminted by an upper and a lower threshold. If the FIFO buffer fullness is below the range's lower threshold, then the FIFO's read address pointer is held so that the immediately preceding read-out data element is read out once more. If the FIFO buffer fullness is over the range's upper limit, then the FIFO's write address pointer is held so that the immediately preceding written-in data element is written over once more.

Abstract: Yokes (4, 5) and legs (1, 2, 3) of the core consist of multi-layered stacks of laminations. In the yokes, laminations of different widths are used, narrower and wider laminations forming the in each case successive layers of laminations (41 to 47). The laminations of the legs have identical dimensions; however, their layers of laminations (11 to 17) are arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the laminations. In the transverse direction of the core, both the yokes and the legs have comb-like structures via which they are pushed together after the windings have been applied. The stacks of laminations are clamped via tension rods and pressure plates (5 to 9), exclusively in the transverse direction of the core in the toothed area of the stacks of laminations. Transformers and reactors equipped with such cores develop only very little noise in operation; the noise development is largely independent of the torques applied during the clamping of the stacks of laminations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Sont décrits la réduction de la "diaphonie" verticale dans des afficheurs à matrice à cristaux liquides, et l'obtention de niveaux de gris à l'aide de la modulation d'amplitude des impulsions. Das l'adressage par voie de tension efficace (multiplexage) d'afficheurs à cristaux liquides présentant une structure matricielle, la diaphonie verticale est réduite par l'application, aux électrodes des colonnes séparées, de tensions de données ayant des amplitudes mutellement différentes. Les différents signaux de données sont choisis selon le nombre de variations de niveau de la tension de données dans les diverses colonnes. Il est également possible de réduire la diaphonie verticale, sans modifier les tensions de données, en utilisant des impulsions de tension qui sont appliquées simultanément aux colonnes séparées après chaque balayage de trame et dont l'intensité est déterminée par le nombre de variations de niveau de la tension de données dans la colonne concernée. Des niveaux de gris sont générés dans des afficheurs matriciels multiplexés par voie de tension efficace, à l'aide de la modulation d'amplitude des impulsions, auquel cas des impulsions de tension sont appliquées (simultanément) aux colonnes séparées après chaque balayage de trame, l'intensité desdites impulsions de tension étant déterminée par le contenu image des éléments dans la colonne concernée.

Abstract: A driver (12) for a cathode ray tube (14) includes a black level compensation circuit (22) which generates an offset voltage (EREF) which tracks the current flowing to the output of the driver and therefore the average picture level (APL). The offset voltage is added as a component of the output voltage (EOUT) so as to increasingly shift the output voltage toward black as the APL increases. This compensates for CRT gamma non-linearities and for light scattering effects which might otherwise cause the loss of perceived detail and sharpness in dark areas of a high APL image. In the disclosed embodiment, the driver comprises a cascode amplifier (Q2, Q3) and the offset voltage generating element includes a capacitively bypassed (C) resistor (R8) connected in a reference voltage network (R7, R8, Z) connected (via R4) to the emitter circuit of the lower (common emitter configured) transistor (Q2) of the cacode amplilfier.

Abstract: In an air brake system (10) of a commercial motor vehicle it is proposed by simple means to reduce the brake pressure on the wheel brake (22) when a sensor (54) detects excessive wear on the brake lining (55). In a control line (28), running between a brake valve (13) and the control chamber (30) of a relay valve (19) for controlling the brake pressure, a shut-off valve (32) is arranged. The latter is bypassed by a pressure-reducing valve device (39) and a non-return valve (37). When braking, the shut-off valve (32), in the presence of a wear-dependent signal, is switched into the closed position so that control air can pass into the control chamber (30) of the relay valve (19) only by way of the pressure-reducing valve device (39). As the shut-off valve (32) closes the control pressure is reduced by way of the non-return valve (37). <IMAGE>
