Abstract: A composite armor plating, especially for installation in motor vehicles, is provided, and comprises individual plates having an outer layer, of a protective material of great hardness, and an inner layer of a fiber material of lesser hardness. Respective steel edge reinforcements of predetermined thickness that each extend along at least one outer edge of each of the plates are provided. Each edge reinforcement covers at least a side edge of the outer layer, and is fixedly connected with such plate.

Abstract: A keyboard for initiating switching functions or switching signals. Synchronizing pins coupled to four key members at the mutually adjacent crossing between them cause actuation of contact sets upon depression of the keyboard surface above each synchronizing pin. Actuation of at least two contact sets are necessary to initiate a switching function corresponding to the keyboard symbol at the position of surface depression. A light may be employed to visually indicate the symbol actuated.

Abstract: In tomosynthesis, as is known, a series of individual images taken in different orientations, are superimposed. By shifting the individual images relative to each other the position of the layer which is sharply reproduced can be changed. However, there may still be unsharpness in said layer, in the case of image distortion during recording of the individual images, for example owing to the curvature of the input screen. This image distortion can hardly be compensated for, because it greatly depends on the projection angle. The invention provides a simple method of compensating for such image distortion. The image intensifier is then arranged and steered so that its optical axis is always parallel to the central ray. The distortion caused by the image intensifier curvature is then independent of the projection angle and can be eliminated in a comparatively simple manner.
