Abstract: A method and an arrangement for optimizing the luminance characteristic curve for a display system using a lookup table. Digitized video levels are supplied to this lookup table and are optimized using correction values stored in the lookup table. With suitable means, the luminance characteristic curve can be easily adapted to standards and/or custom specifications. The memory requirement is low, since it is not necessary to provide different lookup tables for different ambient luminosities or selected reproduction models (curves).

Abstract: A decorative base paper or a preimpregnated decorative base paper is finished with an ink absorbing layer for printing by the ink-jet method.

Abstract: A method and a circuit arrangement for controlling the operating point of a cathode ray tube (3) for use in image technology applications. A video signal (1) is supplied to both the tube (3) and to a cathode ray tube model (2), which the model (2) uses to emulate a beam current. From the emulated beam current and a measured beam current, a characteristic quantity for adjusting the operating point is determined.

Abstract: A recording material for the ink jet printing method comprising a base paper which contains 5 to 55% by weight of a filler, is free of beater sizing agents, and is impregnated with an impregnation agent, wherein the resin uptake from the impregnation agent is adjusted such that the base paper on the backside has a liquid uptake of at most 20 g/m2, and optionally further layers.

Abstract: A vulcanization accelerator combination based on di-(C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 alkyl)dithiophosphates for vulcanizing non-polar rubbers, comprising the following components: (a) a di-(C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 alkyl)dithiophosphate; (b) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of sulphenamides, thiazoles and carbamates; (c) sulfur and/or a sulfur donor; and (d) at least one additional accelerator compound having a specific chemical structure that is different from the chemical structure of component (a) and any of the compounds used as component (b) in said accelerator combination.

Abstract: In an accident involving the uncontrolled escape of coolant, a condensate film forms on the power station components. Due to deposited dirt it is conductive, and if the insulation has aged it can cause electrical function defects. That situation is simulated by spraying a test liquid, having a wetting power (surface tension) and a conductivity which correspond to the coolant condensate, onto the electrical power station components. The testing can be carried out on a routine basis at normal pressure and normal temperature during ongoing reactor operation.

Abstract: This invention describes an image carrier material for electrophotographic processes which provides images similar to photographs and is built up from at least five layers. A base paper is coated on both sides with thermoplastic materials and in addition bears an antistatic layer on the reverse side and a receiving layer for the toner image on the front side.

Abstract: A paper for thermal image transfer to flat porous surfaces is characterized by a paper support and a layer applied thereto which contains an ethylene copolymer or an ethylene copolymer mixture and a dye-receiving layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are stabilized dithiophosphoric acid polysulphides of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl residue andx is an integer from 2 to 15,containing as stabilizer 1 to 20 wt.% of a carboxylic acid of the general formula R'COOH, in which R' is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl residue, a cycloalkyl residue, an aryl residue or an aralkyl residue, and 1 to 20 wt.% of calcium oxide or zinc oxide.

Abstract: A rear-edge flap is held on an aircraft wing by means of two pantograph-like guide systems carrying swivel heads on which the flap is pivoted. Control arms extend from the guide systems to cause the flap to be pivoted and the guide systems extend the flap. Details concerning bearings and kinematics are disclosed. Application of the invention to all rear flaps of two aircraft wings is described.

Abstract: Certain novel .alpha.-alkyl-phosphonosuccinic acid compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which R is lower alkyl, or alkenyl or alkynyl, cycloalkyl, or aralkyl are particularly suitable as sequestering agents, e.g., for incorporation into cleansing compositions.
