Abstract: The light has a secondary reflector on the underside of the roof reflector and which consists of a number of reflector elements (41) arranged in raster formation, each with a mirrored, double convex curvature surface with a group of first and second, mutually perpendicular curved contours (45,46). The first contour, when viewed in a transverse plane of the reflector element, consists of two mutually symmetrical contour halves with curvature decreasing from in to out. The second contour, which lies in a longitudinal pane, consists essentially of a circular section curve with its apex in a transverse plane at a defined distance from the adjacent edge of the reflector element.

Abstract: The vehicle radio data system,RDS, and traffic message control, TDC, signal is received Ä1Ü and is passed through the tuner Ä2Ü, stereo decoderÄ4Ü and RDS decoder Ä5Ü to a control circuit Ä7Ü. Coupled to the controller is a memory Ä12Ü, display Ä13Ü, speech synthesiser Ä14Ü and other items such as a CD-ROM drive. A card reader Ä16Ü allows input from a smart card Ä17Ü. The system memory Ä12Ü stores the traffic specific received data and allows conversion from one foreign language to another depending upon which country the vehicle is in by using the synthesiser. The smart card has a memory section for regional specific data selection control. The amount of data stored for conversion to second language is reduced by using stored supplementary code combined with main code.

Abstract: A platen (10) for use in an clamping operation wherein a force (F) is generated having a first direction includes a first wall (12) having edges and a center area (30) and at least first and second sides, wherein the first side is adapted to be positioned nearest the clamping operation. The platen further includes a second wall (14) spaced from and substantially parallel to the first wall (12), wherein the first and second walls extend substantially transverse to the first direction of the force (F). An intermediate support (16) is positioned between the walls and is used to direct the force from edges of the second wall (14) toward the center area (30) of the first wall (12) for substantially preventing non-uniform deflection of the first wall (12) along the first side. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing whiskers in large volumes and at low cost to be used as reinforcing material. The whiskers consist of solid solutions between two or more transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides, (Me1-X-YMe'XMe''Y..etc.)C1-ZNZ, having preferably submicron diameters. The whiskers are suitable for use as a reinforcement material in a wide range of materials, including metals, intermetallics, plastics, ceramics and metallic bonded hard material. Transition metal oxides, hydroxides or alkali compounds thereof are mixed with carbon powder. The carbon source is added in an amount to satisfy the stoichiometric requirements of the carbide or nitride. A halogenide salt is used as a volatilisation agent for the transition metals and a cataIyst such as Ni or Co that is able to dissolve transition metals plus C and/or N. The reactant powders are blended so as to intimately mix them. Finally, the mixed starting material is subjected to nitriding, carbonising or carbo-nitriding heat treatments in order to produce the desired whiskers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A local server (102) records compressed digital video data according to a first image compression format at normal and four times speeds, while a main server (106) records compressed digital video data according to a second image compression format at normal speed. An image format converter (104) is provided between the local and main servers (102 and 106). The image format converter (104) converts compressed digital video data according to the first image compression format output at normal speed from the local server (102) to compressed digital video data according to the second image compression format to be sent to the main server (106). The image format converter (104) also converts compressed digital video data according to the second image compression format output at normal speed from the main server (106) to compressed digital video data according to the first image compression format to be sent to the local server (102). Then, compressed digital video data can be input and output at a high speed when digital video data compressed are recorded after the image conversion format is changed and compressed digital video data are output for reproduction after the image conversion format is changed.

Date Jun. 26, 1997The decanter centrifuge has a bowl with a screw conveyor having a body (4) and a screw (7). Material to be separated into a light phase is supplied through inlet ports (6) in the body, and the heavy phase is discharged through discharge ports in the bowl at one end of the conveyor. Between the inlet ports and the discharge ports for the heavy phase, the body of the screw conveyor carries a baffle (8c), generally shaped as a radial rib which forms a helical surface turning in the same direction as the screw (7). Owing to its shape the baffle actively contributes to the transport of the heavy phase, and with retention of the same gap between the baffle and the inner surface of the bowl, the gap area can be increased by increasing the axial length of the baffle.

Date Jul. 10, 1997A method and device for controlling a self-regulating, delayed process, in particular a temperature control system, in which, after a first setpoint step change, the manipulated variable is set to its maximum value and an IT1 model of the process is identified on the basis of the step response. The time at which the manipulated variable must be reset for time-optimum control is calculated on the basis of this model. An additional, more precise model is determined if the rate of change of the controlled variable drops below a specific limit after the shut-off time. The parameters of a linear controller are set as a function of the more precise model, after which the controller controls the process in a non-linear mode. When additional setpoint step changes occur, a time for switching to a steady-state manipulated variable is calculated on the basis of the more precise model in order to achieve time-optimal control. The described control device adjusts to the process as early as after the first setpoint step change without requiring any knowledge about the process. The method and device may be used with adaptive controllers.

Abstract: Method and apparatus in which a pump is used with a sanative protector of the type having a flexible envelope which wraps around and seals a cast, bandage or dressing on an arm, leg or other appendage of a person responsive to vacuum established in an interface region beneath the envelope. The pump comprises a bulb having a wall which encloses a pumping chamber. The wall is formed of a material and wall thickness which provides elasticity sufficient to enable inward deformation from a distended shape toward a collapsed shape, and further having an elastic memory which causes the wall to produce an elastic pressure sufficient to urge the wall outwardly from the collapsed shape toward the distended shape. A flow control mechanism enables fluid flow from within the interface region through an inlet in the bulb into the pumping chamber for reducing the vacuum level as the bulb expands toward its distended shape, and the mechanism further establishes a second path for discharging fluid from the pumping chamber to ambient atmosphere when the bulb is squeezed toward its collapsed shape.
