Abstract: A quick coupling system for a steering wheel with a steering wheel-side coupling part and a vehicle-side coupling part, which may be pushed together along a longitudinal axis to mechanically engage with one another in a positive locking manner in an assembled state. The vehicle-side coupling part has an engagement element and the steering wheel-side coupling part has an element complementary thereto, which can engage only with the correct orientation with respect to the longitudinal axial rotational position. The engagement elements are each arranged at least in the front region of the coupling parts and cooperate in such a way that even a partial pushing together in incorrect orientation is prevented.

Abstract: An embroidery production monitoring system for use in combination with one or more embroidery machines includes at least one mimic light component including a light component, an enclosure flange that is sized and structured for attachment over the machine bulb and lens of the one or more embroidery machines, and a light sensor that is structured and disposed for detecting light emitted by the machine bulb; a plurality of sensors being structured and disposed for collecting performance data of the one or more embroidery machines and transmitting the performance data to the at least one mimic light component and a control box; the control box including a visual display interface, and the control box being provided for receiving the performance data and displaying a plurality of performance measurements on the visual display interface; and wherein the mimic light component is automatically actuated by delivery of a signal from the light sensor to the light component to thereby illuminate the light component.

Abstract: A size adjustable cap utilizing a new and improved size adjustment strap is disclosed. The size adjustable cap has an opening in the back of the cap between the cap and the size adjustment strap which extends across the opening. The size adjustment strap has one end secured to the cap in the vicinity of a sweatband that is internally attached to the cap proximate its lower margin. The size adjustment strap has a free end that extends through a complementary shaped slot provided in the sweatband on an opposite side of the cap opening to allow the size adjustment strap to pass through the complementary shaped slot for positionment between the sweatband and the cap. The complementary shaped slot is defined by a laterally outwardly directed opening in the sweatband for receiving the size adjustment strap. Cooperating adjustment fasteners are associated with the size adjustment strap and the sweatband for engagement with one another when the size adjustment strap is positioned between the sweatband and the cap.

Abstract: In a process for localizing a scintillation event in a gamma camera having a plurality of photomultipliers forming a camera surface, each photomultiplier generating an output signal in response to the scintillation event, wherein a plurality of comparative signal sets are generated from output signals of the photomultiplier corresponding to respective scintillation events of known location, a location-dependent probability function is formed based on a comparison of the outputs of the photomultipliers for a scintillation event of unknown location with the comparative signal sets, and the location of the scintillation event of unknown location is defined as the location corresponding to the maximum of the probability function, the speed with which the localization is accomplished is increased by initially defining a portion of the total gamma camera surface in which there is a high probability that the location of the scintillation event of unknown origin lies, and limiting the investigation for the location o

Abstract: In a method for the localization of scintillation events in a gamma camera with a number of photomultipliers the output signals of the photomultipliers, in dependence on a release signal, are subjected to a pattern recognition process. In the pattern recognition process the output signals are compared with comparative signal sets which each comprise the expected values of output signals from photomultipliers which would be generated by several comparative scintillation events with at respective origins at known locations. The locations of the multiple scintillation events are then registered as the origins that belong to a comparative signal set which presents the greatest similarity value to the output signals in question.
