A control valve (70) has ports (71b, 71c, 71d) and a spool (72) which has lands (91, 92) and an annular groove between the lands (91, 92). The land has a plurality of retracted peripheral portions (93, 94) at a circumferential edge portion (91a, 92a) adjacent to the annular groove (90) so as to gradually increase the opening area of one of the ports. Each retracted peripheral portion (93, 94) is f...

In a radiography apparatus having an essentially monochromatic radiation source which irradiates an examination region at various positions with a primary beam of small cross-section, a first position-resolving detector system which measures the elastically scattered radiation in the primary beam on the other side of the examination region, and means for reconstructing an image of the irradiated c...

The invention relates to a process for starting a vehicle with repeated forward-reverse run, in course of which in the drive-chain of the vehicle an automatic transmission /2/ is driven with an internal combustion motor /1/ through the incorporated hydrodynamic torque converter /16/ or in a given case with a dry friction clutch /15/ shortcircuiting it, either directly with the automatic transmissi...

Monoclonal antibodies to IFN- beta 2/IL-6 and hybridomas producing them and production and purification of glycosylated and unglycosylated IFN- beta 2/ IL-6 are disclosed. The protein is useful in the treatment of breast cancer, leukemia, infectious diseases and bone marrow progenitor cell disorders.

A curved edge (24) (25) (26) on a lens (21) is formed by directing a laser beam (23) onto the lens adjacent its edge and causing relative movement between the laser beam and contact lens whereby a curved surface is formed on the edge of the lens by the removal of material therefrom through ablative photodecomposition.

Biphenyl tetracarboxylic acid esters and derivatives thereof are prepared by the coupling reaction of 4-halogen substituted o-benzenedicarboxylic acid ester, carried out in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of a pre-prepared triphenylphosphine-nickel chloride or trialkylphosphine-nickel chloride catalyst, zinc powder as the reducing agent, and an alkali metal halide promoting agent. The est...

A fire alarm system includes a receiver (1) adapted to detect the presence of a fire on the basis of analog detection data contained in a received signal which is connected by means of a transmission line (2) to a plurality of analog type sensors (3), each of which is arranged in a respective monitoring area monitored by the receiver and is adapted to produce analog detection data representative o...

In the case of a device which is intended especially for the connection of electrical conductors by means of ultrasound welding, in the case of which the horn (10) has allocated to it, in order to bound a compression space on all sides, a two-piece anvil having three operating surfaces, the two anvil parts (6, 7) can move in two different directions with respect to one another and with respect to ...

A microprocessor arrangement includes a microprocessor (10) that executes a program which includes a plurality of watchdog instructions (WDI1 to WDI4) which are located in respective different portions of the program and all of which should be executed during execution of the program. An address bus (14) receives addresses generated during execution of the program. An address decoder (16) is respo...

A method is presented for path planning after changes in task space. In one embodiment, the method is applied to planning a path for a robot arm. The method identifies areas in the configuration space which are affected by the changes in task space. Cost waves can then be repropagated in these affected areas to allow for planning in N dimensions and using space variant metrics. The method is also ...

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Vorderbacken mit zwei seitlichen Winkelhebeln (115a, 115b), die gegen die Kraft einer Auslösefeder (106) ausschwenkbar sind. Letztere ist in einem an einer Grundplatte (101) befestigten Gehäuse (105) untergebracht und von einer Zugstange (107) durchsetzt. Zwischen den beiden Winkelhebeln ist am Gehäuse ein Sohlenniederhalter (113) angeordnet. Um bei einem solch...
