  • Publication number: 20120019702
    Abstract: A method for adjusting and for displaying the adjustment of a camera lens, in particular for adjusting the image sharpness (focus) of a camera lens for analog or digital motion picture cameras, comprising a scale shiftable relative to the display of a current adjustment value and coupled with an adjusting device. On the scale the adjustment values are represented numerically and/or as graphical symbols. A scale range bordering on the current adjustment value is located in a display window. At least one adjustment value is highlighted by a marking and a marking located outside the display window is displayed at the edge of the scale.

  • Patent number: 5972286
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of ceramic and hard metal industries and concerns a process for manufacturing hard metal parts, in particular th having a complex geometry, such as those used for example as machining tools and wear elements. The object of the invention is to create a process which allows the manufacture of hard metal parts with a complex geometry by using a stable dispersed hard metal-binder suspension, wherein the binder is a thermoplastic binder having a viscosity of 3 to 6 mPa s, and without using an organic solvent to eliminate the binder. For that purpose, a process is disclosed wherein a hard metal powder having an average grain size smaller than 2.0 .mu.m is mixed with a liquefied thermoplastic binder, with viscosity of the mixture being set upon a value of at least 100 mPa s and up to 4,000 mPa s during the whole production and treatment process.

  • Patent number: 4149120
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for linearizing the output signal of a measuring sensor by comparing this output signal with a periodically repetitive signal which represents the measurement characteristic to be linearized. Upon equality of the compared signals, the instantaneous value of a periodically repetitive second signal, which is a linear function of time, is transmitted to form the linearized measurement signals. According to a preferred embodiment, the periodically repetitive signals are produced by digital devices.
