Abstract: A sealing and guiding strip (24), for a motor vehicle door having a slidable window pane (57), comprises rubber 34 and a rigid metal support (36). The sealing strip (24) extends around the sides and top of the frame of the window and down into the hollow lower part of the door. It is produced by a moulding operation, a rigid metal support (36) being placed in the mould and thus becoming bonded to the rubber during the moulding operation and the subsequent vulcanisation. The metal support (36) ensures that the finished sealing strip (24) is rigidly held in the correct shape and configuration and it is thus easily handled, packed, delivered and fitted to the vehicle, the latter process being aided by clips or fixtures (52) which are attached to the support (36) when it is placed in the mould. The rubber (34) defines a glass-receiving channel (38) and lips (44) and (46) for providing a seal against the adjacent part (58) of the vehicle body.

Abstract: A pixel clock phase lock loop for a laser scanner having a rotating multi-faceted polygon receives start-of scan and end-of-scan pulses for each of a plurality of scan lines. A voltage-controlled oscillator outputs a desired frequency of the pixel clock. A desired number of pixels in each scan line is counted, and a pulse is output at the last pixel in the scan line. The end-of-scan pulse and the last pixel pulse are compared, and an output is provided of phase error, the phase error being equal to the difference between the end-of-scan pulse and the last pixel pulse. The phase error for a facet of the polygon is utilized when the facet scans an imaging beam on a next subsequent polygon revolution. The phase error is converted to a voltage, and the phase error voltage is added to a center frequency voltage to generate a composite voltage for controlling the voltage-controlled oscillator.

After the preliminarily bent glass sheet (G) has been fed from the gravity bending zone (Z1) into the press bending zone (Z2), the glass sheet (G) is transferred from the ring mold (3) to a movable lower mold assembly (50). The lower mold assembly (50) is lifted to press the glass sheet (G) against a fixed upper mold (60) for finally bending the glass sheet (G). Thereafter, the lower mold (50) with the finally bent glass sheet (G) is lowered until the glass sheet (G) is placed on the ring mold (3). Then, the glass sheet (G) is fed with the ring mold (3) into the annealing zone (Z3) in which the glass sheet (G) is annealed.

Abstract: A projector type lighting device (1) includes a shading plate (4) having an asymmetrical portion formed on one side of the shading plate depending on the given light distributing propertoes of the lighting device to prevent a driver from being unpleasantly irradiated with dazzling light emitted from a vehicle running in the opposite direction, and the asymmetrical portion is fully covered with the shading portion of an auxiliary shutter (6). When a road sign or the like standing upright on a road shoulder is visually recognized by the driver, the auxiliary shutter (6) is linearly displaced in the downward direction to reach the lowermost position so as to allow the asymmetrical portion to become operative. Alternatively, a substantially circular auxiliary shutter including a shading portion having a sector-shaped countour may turnably be displaced in one of the clockwise and anticlockwise directions. Otherwise, the shading plate (4) itself may serve as an auxiliary shutter in such a manner as to turn about a center axis of the lighting device (1) in one of the clockwise and anticlockwise directions.

Abstract: An orthopaedic caliper 40 has an orthopaedic device 42 having a lower portion 48 and an upper portion 50. The portion 48 is attached snugly and not tightly, to a thigh. The upper portion 50 is a moulding of deformable, stretch resistant material. It is of concave or cradle shape to fit an upper portion of the thigh and a lower portion of a buttock. The portion 48 cannot dig into soft tissue and thus cannot become ischial weight bearing. It merely exerts a predominantly horizontal force on the body. This causes the user to assume a substantially normal posture and gait and the leg bones of the user to bear the weight. A bulge 50.3, to accommodate the buttock, collapses when the user is seated to prevent pressure points on bony protuberances and pressure underneath the thigh.

Abstract: A consumer electronics system has plural apparatuses interconnected by a multiple channel for control and data signalization including a control channel. The control channel is a qualifier bus that in each apparatus is interfaced to a control element that in an initiator apparatus transmits a message selectively specifying a proprietary signalization interface. A follower apparatus acknowledges the message if the user signalization interfaces match. Thereupon, the system coactivates the matched interfaces in initiator and follower apparatuses. In an extended form, the apparatuses as a prerequisite try to consent about a standard protocol on a further control channel external to said multiple channel.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance apparatus includes a superconducting magnet (10) which generates a uniform, static magnetic field through a central bore (12) along its longitudinal or z-axis. An insertable coil assembly (40) is inserted into the bore with a radio frequency shield (76,84) for providing a radio frequency shield between the insertable coil assembly and a surrounding, whole body radio frequency coil assembly (32) and a whole body gradient magnetic field coil assembly (30). The insertable coil includes a gradient coil (44a) including conductors (52) mounted on a dielectric former (50). The conductors are relatively narrow and spaced relatively far apart to minimize capacitive coupling with a closely adjacent insertable radio frequency coil (70a). Filters (60,64) are connected with the conductors of the gradient coil to prevent the gradient coil conductors from supporting radio frequency signals while permitting ready support of kHz frequency currents. An RF filter (106) connected between the insertable gradient coil and an insertable gradient coil control (100) prevents induced radio frequency signals from being transmitted to the insertable gradient coil.
