Title: Automatisches Notrufsystem für Kraftfahrzeuge
Inventor: RUEHL HANS-WILHELM
IPC: G08G1/127
Filed: 1999-05-18
Abstract: Es wird ein Notrufsystem eines Kraftfahrzeuges zur automatischen Übermittlung eines Notrufs an eine externe Empfangsstation vorgeschlagen. Das Kraftfahrzeug weist Meßmittel, beispielsweise in Form eines Radarsystems (6), auf zur Bestimmung der Relativgeschwindigkeit und des Abstandes des Fahrzeuges zu einem anderen Fahrzeug oder einem Hindernis. Überschreitet die aktuelle Relativgeschwindigkeit bei gegebenem Abstand einen vorgegebenen Grenzwert, so wird davon ausgegangen, daß eine Kollision unvermeidbar ist und es wird ein Notruf durch einen im Kraftfahrzeug vorhandenen Sender (3) aktiviert. Vorteilhafterweise wird mit dem Notruf die Fahrzeugposition, die über ein Navigationssystem (4) ermittelt wird, zur Empfangsstation übertragen. Ferner ist vorgesehen, daß das Notrufsystem mit weiteren Sensoren (6), die zur Detektion einer Kollision geeignet sind, in Verbindung steht, so daß der Notruf widerrufen werden kann, wenn nicht innerhalb einer vorgegebenen Zeitspanne durch einen solchen Sensor eine tatsächliche Kollision gemeldet wird.

Title: Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Kontrolle der Wirkung der Feststellbremse einer Scheibenbremsanlage eines Nutzfahrzeuges
Inventor: MODLMAYR JOHANN
IPC: B60T7/04
Filed: 1999-06-25
Abstract: Bei Fahrzeugen mit Scheibenbremsen an der Bremsachse sinkt, wenn das Fahrzeug mit heißen Bremsen abgestellt wird, durch das Abkühlen der Bremsscheiben und Bremsbeläge die Wirkung der Feststellbremse. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren und der Vorrichtung wird dem Fahrzeugführer die Möglichkeit gegeben, nach dem Einlegen der Feststellbremse zu sehen, ob sein Fahrzeug im abgestellten Gefälle wegrollen wird oder nicht. Dadurch, daß der Feststellbremskreis (17/2) nicht sofort auf atmosphärischen Druck, sondern nur bis auf einen Restdruck von etwa 1 bar Überdruck abgelassen wird, wird ein niedrigeres Bremsmoment angelegt, als dies bei völligem Ablassen der Druckluft der Fall ist. Der Restdruck wird langsam auf atmosphärischen Druck abgesenkt.

Inventor: SOGO AKIRA
IPC: B41J2/385
Filed: 2000-07-12
Abstract: An electro-coagulation printer uses an electrode control unit to drive
electrodes (22) which are aligned in proximity to a rotation drum (24)
having a conductive ink film on its surface. The electrodes are respectively
electrified to partially coagulate the conductive ink film to form ink dots on
the surface of the rotation drum, so that the ink dots are transferred onto a
paper. Herein, the electrode control unit receives print data (3) from a host
device (2) by way of an interface (4). Gradation data representing
gradation values for one line of the electrodes are created based on the print
data and are output in a serial manner. The serial gradation data are
converted to parallel data corresponding to the gradation values, which are
held and controlled in output timing. That is, output timings of the
gradation values are independently controlled based on correction
information such that print positions of the ink dots are corrected in at least
one of a paper-feed direction and an alignment direction of the electrodes.
Based on the gradation values, pulse signals are generated to drive the
electrodes respectively. Herein, each of the pulse signals consists of a
number of pulses designated by the gradation value, or each of them
consists of a single pulse whose pulse width depends on the gradation value.
It is possible to differ the pulse signals from each other in phases. Thus, it
is possible to print desired images on papers with a high quality and at a
high speed.
