Abstract: A photographic developing apparatus has an elastic conveyor belt and at least one clamp which is designed to be mounted on the conveyor belt and to engage a strip of photographic material. The clamp has spaced gripping elements which define an opening of width less than that of the conveyor belt and are arranged to engage the marginal portions of the belt. A mechanism for mounting the clamp on the conveyor belt is also provided and includes a female die as well as a male die. The mounting mechanism additionally includes means for juxtaposing the clamp and the belt with one another in such a manner that the central portion of the belt and the opening in the clamp are each in register with a cavity in the female die while the marginal portions of the belt are movably confined between the clamp and support surfaces on the female die. When the clamp and the belt are thus positioned, the male die is moved into the female die. This causes the marginal portions of the belt to approach one another.

Abstract: The device, suitable for use in a hand roller, for transferring a film from a carrier tape to a substrate is a cartridge containing a feed reel and a windup reel. The tape travels by way of a protruding stiff applicator bar which has a pressure-applying edge for pressing the tape against the substrate. The stiff applicator bar is on a spring support member which can be deflected until a protrusion on the bar encounters a detent fixed on the housing. The application bar has its pressure-applying edge appropriately shaped to facilitate the transfer action.

Abstract: An improved magnetic dispersion for magnetic recording which comprises magnetic pigment, abrasive, carbon black or another additive for regulating conductivity, binder, solvent, lubricant, and wetting agent, wherein the improvement comprises quantities of wetting agent, lubricant, or both being between at least 100 to 140% of the individually determined saturation adsorptions of the wetting agent and lubricant, with the proviso that the minimum quantity of wetting agent or lubricant is 80% of the individually determined saturation adsorption.

Abstract: A package for photoresist material, particularly a dry resist, is substantially impermeable to water vapor, thereby preventing humidity-related effects which adversely influence the processability of the photoresist. The package can comprise a film tubing, the ends of which are closed by welding or gluing, into which a photoresist roll is placed. As the material for the film tubing, a composite material can be used which is formed of a polyester film as the support film, to which an aluminum foil is laminated or which is vacuum-metallized with aluminum and a polyethylene film laminated on top. A tinplate container can also be used as a package, the container being closed by soldering after placing the photoresist material inside the container. These packages generally have a permeability to water vapor of less than 0.01 gram of water vapor per square meter per day, at a humidity gradient of 97% and an ambient temperature of 23.degree. C.

Abstract: An arrangement for removing soot particles from the exhaust stream of a diesel internal combustion engine in such a manner that the soot particles are caught between conductor elements disposed at different potential, produce a short circuit and thereby burn off. In order to be able to realize a purification of the exhaust gas stream without a significant increase of the exhaust gas counterpressure, a centrifugal separator is connected to the exhaust gas line, which passes over into a soot particle collecting chamber constructed axially symmetrical to the longitudinal axis thereof; a predetermined number of electrodes is arranged in turn in the soot particle collecting chamber at a slight distance to the casing interior surface whereby the electrodes among one another or the electrodes and the soot particle collecting chamber itself are at a different potential.

Abstract: The electrochemical determination of the oxygen concentration, particularly in biological matter, is possible by means of an oxygen sensor with a measuring electrode and a counter electrode over long periods of time, even if the sensor is implanted, by taking the following measures; two potentials are cyclically impressed on the measuring electrode, with one potential (measuring potential) in the range -1.4 V.ltoreq..rho.Ag/AgCl.ltoreq.-0.4 V, and the other potential (recovery potential) in the range -0.2 V.ltoreq..rho.Ag/AgCl.ltoreq.+0.2 V; the dwelling time at the measuring potential is small as compared to the duration of the cycle; and the current flowing during the measuring period is evaluated as the measuring signal.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement, with a doubled central switching matrix to which two line trunk groups having a sub-switching matrix each and a group control unit each, are allocated to each other in pairs via two PCM-lines. The line facilities which are individually allocated to the one and the other of the two line trunk groups and which are connected to the sub-switching matrix of their own respective line trunk group during normal service, are switchable during emergency service of one of the two line trunk groups to the sub-switching matrix of the respective other line trunk group. In order that no interconnected calls are interrupted, each local control unit stores the call data of all interconnected calls during normal service.

Abstract: A method for data reduction of digital image sequences in heirarchic fashion by means of a multi-stage coder on the basis of vector quantizing and movement compensation, as well as reconstruction of these image sequences by means of a multi-stage decoder. An input image signal is represented in a plurality of image signals having different spatial resolutions by means of a cascade of L identical low-pass filters having subsequent sub-scanning, whereby the spatial resolution and the data volume of the input image signal in the horizontal and the vertical directions are respectively reduced by a factor R in every cascade stage, and whereby the input signal is referenced "resolution level L" and the low-pass filter image signal having the smallest resolution is referenced "resolution level .0.". The chronologically preceding, reconstructed, movement-compensated image signal is represented in a plurality of image signals having different topical resolution in the same way.

Astigmatisms produced by the first multi-pole optics are compensated by a second multi-pole optic that is inserted in the beam path immediately above the imaging lens.

Abstract: A memory-programmable controller is disclosed having a bit and word processor for controlling a peripheral process. A process control program is stored in a user program memory. The controller includes a data memory in which process images of the controlled process are stored. A supplemental memory is coupled in parallel with the data memory. Bit-wide data is stored in the data memory and change bits associated with individual ones of the bit wide data in the data memory are stored in the supplemental memory. The change bits determine whether the associated bit in the data memory can be changed during processing by the control program. Definite control states can thereby be simulated for test purposes.
