Abstract: An axial tomographic scanner is provided with two separate chain-cable assemblies each carrying a fixed length of the cables leading to the scanner. One assembly includes a cable-incoming end anchored to the vertically arranged frame, the other end being anchored to the indexable rotatable plate. The other assembly also has one end anchored to this plate, the other, cable-outgoing end being anchored on the translatable yoke. Associated with and engaging each assembly is a translatable rotary member, which, when the plate is indexably rotated or the yoke is translated, is itself, respectively translated and serves to take up the slack that would otherwise form in the respective assembly.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed in which an unwanted inversion layer between two otherwise isolated regions is eliminated. The inversion layer is eliminated by ion implanting a semiconductor layer of higher doping concentration than that of the substrate over the entire substrate surface. A semiconductor device manufactured by the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A stepping motor provided with an energizing circuit for simultaneously energizing two phase windings from current sources. For actively damping the rotor movements an active network has been provided which measures the difference between the voltages across the two phase windings and in accordance with a suitably selected function converts it into two currents which are in phase opposition to each other, and which are applied to the two phase windings.

Abstract: A shaving apparatus having a continuously driven endless band cutter, a stationary upper cutter with hair entrance apertures, and a stationary lower cutter with recesses corresponding to the apertures in the stationary upper cutter, the endless band cutter being disposed between the stationary lower cutter and the stationary upper cutter. Preferably, stops are mounted on at least one of the stationary lower cutter and the stationary upper cutter to space them apart, with the resulting spacing being slightly greater than the endless band cutter thickness.

Abstract: A low-pressure sodium vapor discharge lamp and a current stabilizing ballast element are connected in series to an energy source so that the lamp is operated by means of a non-sinusoidal current. The temperature of the wall of the discharge tube is maintained in an accurately defined interval and the instantaneous current density in the tube is kept below a first given value and the effective current density is kept above a second given value. This results in a relatively high luminous efficacy.

Abstract: A television player adds an identification signal to the recorded video signal so that a receiver with a recognition circuit can distinguish between the played back signal and a broadcast one. The identification signal is compatible so that a receiver without the recognition circuit can receive the played back signal.

Abstract: An exposure device for establishing the phosphor dots of a shadow mask color television tube. The apertures in the shadow mask are optically projected from a light source onto a photosensitive layer on the window of the tube. Arranged between the light source and the shadow mask is a cylinder lens with its axis in the direction of one of the main directions of the deflection coil system.

Abstract: A detachable shaving head for a reciprocatory dry-shaving apparatus having a carrying frame hinged to the head cap and provided with a cutting assembly, the carrying frame having on its under side an oblique surface whose height decreases inwardly from the hinged edge of the carrying frame, a stop cam being provided on such under side adjacent the inner end of the oblique surface for cooperation with an edge of the cap.

Abstract: A refreshing organization for use in a main memory with dynamic information storage. In the case of a memory matrix, for example, each row of bit positions is addressed by first sub-address signals, with the result that a refreshing operation is performed for the complete information of the relevant row. Within a row, each bit position is addressed by second sub-address signals. A second memory is provided which includes one word position for each bit row of the main memory. The second memory has a comparatively short memory cycle. During the first half of the "slow" memory cycle, a word of the second memory is addressed by the first sub-address signals and is filled with predetermined information. During the second half of the "slow" memory cycle, a next word of the second memory is addressed during each cycle by the position of an address counter. The stored word which is addressed is then read. The output register is constructed as a counter; the information read is increased by 1 and is written back.

Abstract: A bipolar memory cell of reduced size requires only four I.sup.2 L operated transistors and three access lines. Two current injection transistors supply operating current to two inversely operated flip-flop transistors and also function as load devices as well as coupling devices. The three access lines conduct power to the cells as well as the signals for the write and read operations. A write operation is performed by ratioing the currents supplied to a memory cell array such that only a selected cell is written.

Abstract: An electronic ignition system for an internal combustion engine having a timing signal source comprising an oscillator for providing a carrier signal; an electronic network connected to the oscillator and including a sensor means for providing a reactance which varies as a function of the rotational position of the engine, the network further including a reference means for comparing the reactance of the sensor means and providing modulation of said carrier signal; a detector for demodulating the modulated carrier signal and providing an output signal indicative of a predetermined rotational position of the engine. The output signal is supplied to switching circuitry for switching the primary of an ignition coil and providing a high voltage output pulse at a time synchronized with said predetermined rotational position of the engine.

Abstract: A servo system for controlling the position of a magnetic reading head relative to the center of a selected information track. During writing, long-wave track sensing signals are written below the data signal in parts of the tracks and that in such manner that corresponding parts of successive tracks alternately contain or do not contain track sensing signals. During reading, the head reads not only the information of the selected track but as a result of crosstalk also reads the track sensing signals of the adjacent tracks. After filtering and processing the track sensing signals a control signal for controlling the head is obtained. Application in particular in helical and transversal scan video recorders.
