Abstract: A method of fixing trim on an object to be bake-painted and a device for carrying out said method are disclosed. The device for fixing trim on the object to be bake-painted has a depression from therein and the depression is filled with a thermosetting synthetic adhesive. A strong bond between said trim-fixing device and an object is obtained by temporarily attaching the device with a suitable means to the object at a prescribed position and heat-treating the painted object with the device temporarily attached and thereby, curing the paint and the adhesive and at the same time, bonding the trim-fixing device fast to the object by the adhesive.

Abstract: A fluorescent light fixture is disclosed which comprises an elongate base plate member adapted to be mounted on a wall or other support and having inturned side flanges forming oppositely disposed channels for frictionally retaining marginal portions of the side walls of an inverted tray member which has a truncated triangle cross section and on the open ends of which are mounted lamp receiving sockets connected by wiring to a ballast member mounted on the inside of the tray. The tray member is of resilient material permitting the side walls to be contracted along the length thereof for insertion of the marginal portions in the side channels on the base plate member. The base plate member has end walls with portions bendable to a position over the ends of the support member to lock the latter in place and a readily detachable light diffusing lens member is provided for enclosing the assembly including a lamp mounted in the lamp sockets.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a verification system of the type which affords authorized persons access to check cashing facilities, private buildings, or the like. The verification system comprises a plurality of sets of switches, each set including a plurality of switches comprising a first group of switches and a second group of switches, coupling means coupling the first group of switches for each but one set of switches to all of the switches of the next succeeding set for serially coupling the sets of switches, indicating means coupled to the first group of switches of the one set and disabling means coupled to the second group of switches of each set for disabling the system responsive to any one of the second group of switches. As a result, when one of the first group of switches of each set is closed, the indicating means provides a verification indication and when any one of the second group of switches is closed, the disabling means disables the system indicating non-verification.

Abstract: In the disclosed process, a multiplicity of like fibers of fusible material are arranged in a bundle which is brought to the drawing temperature. The bundle is drawn to reduce its cross sectional area while retaining its cross sectional configuration. During the drawing step, a fluid pressure is maintained in the peripheral rows of fibers which exceeds that of the remaining fibers of the bundle to maintain a substantially uniform diameter of the fiber elements in the resulting drawn fiber bundle.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an amplitude control for controlling the peak amplitude of a transistor oscillator output alternating voltage and to an improved regulating system which includes an oscillator associated with the amplitude control for converting a DC voltage to an alternating output voltage having a regulated or controlled peak amplitude. The amplitude control comprises a control voltage generating means for providing a control voltage and clipping means coupled between the base of the oscillator transistor and the control voltage generator for varying the bias of the oscillator transistor responsive to the control voltage to thereby control the peak amplitude of the oscillator alternating output voltage.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a null monitoring system for a digital incremental scale of the type including a weighing platform and a reticle assembly which provides first and second sinusoidal outputs 90.degree. out of phase for deriving counting pulses indicative of the weight of the load and the weighing platform position accurate to a single digital increment of the scale and the direction of movement of the weighing platform. The null monitoring system provides an analog indication of the actual position of the weighing platform within the digital increments for zero reference and calibration purposes.The null monitoring system includes combining means for combining the first and second sinusoidal outputs for providing first, second, third and fourth combined sinusoidal outputs, each having a 90.degree.

Abstract: A central processor for controlling the operation of the subsystems of a telephone exchange switching system which are interconnected on a common data bus to establish requested service between telephone subscribers, wherein the exchange system includes a program memory also connected to the common data bus for storing a plurality of selectable multiple bit operational codes to be utilized by the central processor in response to a particular service being requested, a program address register for selecting a desired operational code from the program memory, an instruction register for storing the selected operational codes and a control word generator which provides function control signals in response to the particular operational codes stored in the instruction register. A bit time counter coupled to the control word generator controls the timing of the central processor so that the function control signals are supplied in proper time sequence.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for providing a substantially noise free audio intelligence signal for a sound-movie camera. The system comprises first and second microphones mounted on the camera, the first microphone being arranged for detecting camera noise and audio intelligence for providing a first electrical signal having camera noise and audio intelligence components and the second microphone being arranged for detecting substantially only camera noise for providing a second electrical signal having substantially only a noise component. The second microphone is mounted nearer to the camera noise source than the first microphone so that the second signal is in advanced phase relation relative to the first signal. The system also includes a delay means and inverting means for delaying and inverting the second signal to provide a delayed inverted second signal which is in phase with the first signal.
