Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device for vehicles that envisages a light-decoupling element in a decoupling bay of the vehicle. The light-decoupling element is fed by a light source arranged at a distance therefrom. A light guide is envisaged between the light source and the light decoupling element. An additional decoupling bay lighting device is envisaged to achieve a visually appealing appearance of the decoupling bay and to illuminate the decoupling bay of the light-decoupling element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lighting device for a vehicle, having a light-decoupling element in a decoupling bay of the vehicle. The light-decoupling element is fed by a light source arranged at a distance, where an optical fiber connects the light source and the light decoupling element. A light panel is used to achieve a visual shielding of an inner bay containing structural elements and components. The light panel facilitates a visual shielding of the rear inner bay.

Abstract: A method for taring a dosing belt weigher uses a weight signal produced by a load cell and a belt revolution signal produced by a sensor for providing a taring or weight correction signal that is processed in a taring unit. The taring unit ascertains the weight or load signal individually for each belt section and for a statistically relevant number of belt revolutions. Individual mean values are formed for the individual belt sections and these individual mean values are compared with the total mean value of the ascertained gross weight signals. The resulting difference values are used as taring signals for correcting the individual belt influences which are correlated locally to each individual belt section during the following belt revolution. Thus, each belt revolution is corrected with due regard to the values gathered in a substantial number of preceding belt revolutions.

Abstract: In a method and system for controlling a differential dosing scale having a weighing device and a control for the delivery rate especially of loose bulk material achieved by comparison of rated and actual weight values, measures are taken to eliminate the effects of disturbances of the output signal of the weighing device. Improvements are achieved in that an estimated or predicted value (G) for the next measured weight value is derived from previously measured values (G.sub.i) of the output signal (G) of the weighing device. The predicted value (G) is compared with the next actual measured value (G.sub.i) to determine a difference. If this difference exceeds a prescribed tolerance range or value, the control of the delivery rate continues at the unchanged previous actual value (P) of the delivery rate. Thus, the effects of disturbances are greatly reduced or even completely eliminated. Changes in the rated value of the delivery rate can also be taken into account.

Abstract: The quantity of a flow of bulk material passing over a measuring wheel is continuously measured by measuring the load r.p.m. of the wheel or of a motor driving the wheel and the power output torque of the motor. The resulting r.p.m. and torque values are used for calculating the quantity. Interfering influences are substantially eliminated by using a correction value in the calculation. The correction value is based on the inertia moment of all rotating components of the system and on variations in the load r.p.m. Load r.p.m. and power output torque measuring devices provide data to a microprocessor for the calculations for achieving a high measuring precision even when the r.p.m. varies.

Abstract: An electrostatic printer having electrodes which each are constructed as a needle arranged on a rotatable drum mounted for translatory movements. At the recording area the needle slides directly over the paper under pressure to cause the paper to be slightly pushed away. The width of the recorded track is identified by the contact surface area of the needle.
