Abstract: In a video system for displaying a video picture composed of image points, whose color values and/or brightness values can be stored sequentially, according to a first set of parameters with predetermined parameter values containing number of lines, number of image points, line frequency and frame frequency as parameters, in an image storage which can be read out in accordance with a second set of parameters with different or identical parameter values for the parameters for displaying the stored video picture by means of a display device, the display device contains an individual light source which can be controlled in accordance with the color values and/or brightness values of the image points and whose light bundle can be projected onto a picture screen via an optical system, wherein the optical system has a raster scanning device by which the light bundle can be directed onto the picture screen on optional points within an image field for displaying the video picture of suitable dimensions and for which

Abstract: The invention concerns a two-strand cable window regulator for motor vehicles having two guide rails which is specifically designed to control spherically curved windows. The invention ensures exact conformity with a predefined raising/lowering path with extremely different radii of curvature of the window at the locations of the two guide rails.The present invention ensures exact conformity by modifying the travel distance of the window near at least one guide rail such that the travel distance of the window is either larger or smaller than the distance traveled by the respective carrier connected to the guide rail.

Abstract: The present invention features a shopping bag handle that is ergonomically designed for easily carrying heavily-ladened shopping bags. The handle is substantially straight with a slight convex arc along its underside. The convex arc along the mid-section of the handle provides an ergonomic effect that conforms to the grip of a hand. An eye-loop is located on each distal end of the carrying handle. The loops of the shopping bag are easily threaded onto the eye-loops because of the downwardly-facing geometry of the latter. The central axis of the handle passes substantially through the contact points between the respective eye-loops of the handle and the loops of the shopping bag, thus reducing the moment of inertia between the middle portion of the handle and its distal ends. This reduced moment of inertia provides for a more stable carrying handle, substantially eliminating the tendency of a shopping bag to sway or rock about the handle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fastening a window of a motor vehicle in the guide device of a window lifter, consisting of retaining legs disposed on opposite sides of the lower area of the window, at least one of said retaining legs having an opening which can be engaged by a connecting element for retaining the window, wherein at least one upper part of at least one retaining leg is embodied to be resilient and supports an insertion section oriented in the direction of the lower edge of the window and essentially extending parallel with it. One feature of the invention is that the opening can comprise two cutouts, instead of one, in order to reduce the number of variations of catches required for use with window lifters. Another feature of the invention is that a connecting element for retaining the window in the guide device of a window lifter is already connected with the window prior to the window's insertion into the gap between the retaining legs.

Abstract: A photopolymerizable mixture containing one or more ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable or photocrosslinkable compounds and a photopolymerization initiator which comprises a combination of an aromatic carbonyl compound of the type stated in claim 1 and an s-triazine compound containing one or more halogen-substituted methyl groups, photosensitive recording elements which possess a photopolymerizable recording layer consisting of these photopolymerizable mixtures, and a process for the production of lithographic printing plates using these recording elements.

Abstract: A respiration monitor for use in an apnea monitor is disclosed in which a threshold value signal is automatically generated proportional to the average value of the monitored impedance of the subject during a base period selected by the operator. A comparator circuit operates to indicate respiration when the ratio between the threshold value signal and the impedance signal reaches a predetermined proportionality factor.

Abstract: A stepped pulse generator circuit has an input line for receiving a sawtooth form voltage and an output line for providing a step-shaped pulse. First and second differential amplifiers each have first and second transistors the first transistor of each differential amplifier has its base electrode coupled to the input line. A common load resistor for the differential amplifiers is coupled to the collector electrode of the first transistor of the first differential amplifier, to the collector electrode of the second transistor of the secon differential amplifier and to the output line. A biasing circuit is coupled with the base electrode of the second transistor of the first differential amplifier and with the base electrode of the second transistor of the second differential amplifier and is arranged to provide a different bias potential on each base electrode. Current supply is provided to the emitter electrodes of the transistors of the first and second differential amplifiers.
