Abstract: The present invention pertains to a locking and unlocking mechanism, which is equipped with an electromagnet (1) and is used preferably to embody a key and/or shift lock function in motor vehicles. Its basic object is to design such a mechanism such that the generation of noise during the transition from one state into the other is reduced compared with prior-art solutions. To accomplish the object, a pulsating voltage in the form of a direct voltage-rated pulse width signal (PWM voltage) is sent to the electromagnet (1). The effective value of the PWM voltage is increased over at least three voltage pulses from an off-load voltage value to a preset final voltage value at the beginning of a phase of energization and it conversely drops, again over at least three voltage pulses, to the off-load voltage value at the end of the phase of energization, in a time-controlled manner by means of a circuit unit (2) associated with a pulse width modulator (3).

Abstract: A process is provided for controlling at least one parameter of the breathing gas supply of a respirator with a patient connected to it as well as to a corresponding control device. The respiration pressure, the breathing gas flow generated by the respirator as well as the respiration rate may be used as parameters. The process presents the advantage that the control of the current respiration needs of the patient are taken into account by the muscle pressure (PMUS), i.e., the percentage of the airway pressure caused by the patient's own effort, being maintained at a value close to zero. An airway pressure (PAWC) is first calculated for this purpose from previously measured values for the airway pressure (PAW) and the breathing gas flow (d/dt V) and the mechanical parameters resistance (RL) and compliance (C) of the patient's lungs, which were determined therefrom, and this is subsequently compared with the actually measured value for the airway pressure (PAW).

Abstract: A diamond is provided which is subjected to an improved rectangular brilliant-cut producing a facet configuration having an optimal shape for the purpose of increasing the visual-perceptible reflection ray amount. In the rectangular brilliant-cut diamond, the bezel facets at the four crown vertexes each is bent along the diagonal line parallel to the girdle, to yield the facet configuration in which the bezel facet is divided into the lower bezel facet and the upper bezel facet. The upper crown angle of an upper bezel facet can be made smaller than the crown angle of a lower bezel facet, and hence even without altering the crown height, by making the table facet slightly smaller, the tilt angles from the horizontal of the star facets and the second bezel facets, both provided with intense reflection, can be made small and the areas thereof can be made large.

Abstract: A multispectral color reproduction systems in which the spectral distribution of the light reflected by an exposed image, which distribution contains the color information, is recorded dot by dot and is coded in the form of a linear decomposition into weighted basic functions with multispectral coefficients as weighting coefficients and is transmitted to an image reproduction device, where a decoding takes place. The multispectral coefficients of the linear spectral display is nonlinearly distorted in a coding system adapted to the human color distinction capacity, wherein the distortion is made dependent on all or individual dominant amplitudes of the multispectral coefficients and the distortion is again canceled in a decoding system. This may be embodied by based on multidimensional look-up tables or by use of a system with distortion and correction functions controlled in a stepwise manner.
