  • Patent number: 6587230
    Abstract: In an apparatus for point-by-point and line-by-line, opto-electronic scanning of masters chucked on a scanner drum, an illumination unit is provided for generating an illumination spot on the master. A scanner objective, a scanner element and a feed support is provided at which the illumination unit, the scanner objective and the scanner element are arranged. The illumination unit comprises a light conductor that is aligned in the direction of the rotational axis of the scanner drum and has a light exit face for generating a light spot and has optical elements for imaging the light spot onto the master as an illumination spot. At least a sub-section of the light conductor in the region of the light exit face can be inclined by small angles relative to the rotational axis with a Cardanic bearing for fine adjustment of optical beam paths, as a result whereof the illumination spot is displaced on the scanner drum. The slope of the light conductor that has been found to be optimum is then fixed.

  • Patent number: 6580527
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for point-by-point and line-by-line scanning of masters chucked on a scanner drum, for pixel-by-pixel illumination of the master, a light spot is generated with a light conductor, the light spot being imaged by a matching objective onto the master as an illumination spot. The scan light is focused with a scanner objective and is converted into an image signal in an opto-electronic scanner element. The illumination spot, scanner objective, and scanner element implement a feed motion in the direction of the rotational axis of the scanner drum for planar scanning of the master. Given employment of scanner drums having different diameters, the size of the illumination spot is corrected by a modification of the imaging scale of the light spot. The modification of the imaging scale occurs by displacing the light conductor with an actuating drive relative to the stationary matching objective. A corresponding focus correction occurs with a radial displacement of the scanner objective.

  • Patent number: 6525844
    Abstract: In a device for point-by-point and line-by-line scanning of masters chucked on scanner drums having different diameters with an optoelectronic scanner element, which converts the scan light modulated with the content of the master and focused with the scanner objective into an image signal, a scanner element comprising a reflected light illumination is provided for generating an illumination spot on an opaque original. The scanner objective for correction of the focusing of the scan light onto the scanner element given employment of scanner drums having different diameters—is seated displaceable on the optical axis of the scanner element into radial working positions determined by the diameter of the respective scanner drums. The reflected light illumination can be displaced in the direction of the optical axis by the focal intercept change of the scanner objective for the purpose of optimizing the illumination spot given employment of scanner drums of different sizes.

  • Patent number: 5891344
    Abstract: A flow control apparatus for enriching gas containing oxygen with ozone includes a generator for producing the enriched mixture. A flow meter is connected to the generator outlet to measure the flow of the generated enriched gas. A mass flow control device is connected downstream of the flow meter. A flow control comparator compares a flow value as obtained from the measuring means and a preset constant value. A signal output of the flow control comparator is connected to a signal input of the mass flow control device for varying the mass flow in accordance with the comparison. An outlet of the mass flow control device is connected to an inlet of a compressor for compressing gas, the inlet gas pressure varying to keep compressed gas at a constant pressure. Feedback is provided between an outlet and an inlet of the compressor. A second mass control device is intermediately connected along the feedback connection for adjusting the mass flow of gas passing through the feedback means.

  • Patent number: 5283605
    Abstract: A device for testing contacting and/or wiring of sockets connected to a circuit board includes a housing with oppositely arranged inner side walls. First guiding elements are connected to the inner side walls and are spaced at a certain grid distance from one another. At least one testing adaptor is connected to the housing for testing one of the sockets. The testing adaptor has a flat casing with a forward end and opposite longitudinal narrow sides. A testing head is connected to the forward end. The casing further has second guiding elements connected to the longitudinal narrow sides whereby the first and the second guiding elements are slidably connected such that the testing head is movable toward and attachable to the socket for establishing electrical contact. Between the first and the second guiding elements an intermediate member is inserted. The intermediate member has a third guiding element and a fourth guiding element oppositely oriented relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 5145653
    Abstract: In ozone generators having segmented inner electrodes (7), the electric connection of the segments is effected by means of plane contact areas (10) applied to the ends of the segments. A tension rod (11) passing through all segments ensures cohesion and, at the same time, is used as the connecting element for supplying the ozone generator with power.

  • Patent number: 5134363
    Abstract: In an arrangement for testing electrical circuit boards an intermediary adapter is disposed between the circuit board and a basic adapter. For converting a grid offset as well as a grid with smaller grid step width to the grid of contact areas in the basic adapter converters (11) are provided which on their top side have test piece-specific arrangements of contact needles (31), for example for SMD structural elements. On the underside the converters (11) are provided with contact pins (36) in a grid corresponding to the contact area bank of the basic adapter. The grid of the contact pins (36) is displaced laterally or diagonally relative to the side edges (44) of converters (11) so that by rotating the converters (11) about their longitudinal axes offsetting the contact pins (36) for contacting the contact areas of the basic adapter can be carried out.

  • Patent number: 4746180
    Abstract: A light transmission device for transmitting light from a stationary light source to a movable recording element of an electronic reproduction device composed of at least one fiber optical light waveguide and one guide element for the fiber optical waveguide. Due to the motion of a fiber optical waveguide, inhomogeneous light distributions arise at its exit face, this leading to disturbing streaked exposures of the recording medium. In the present invention to avoid such streak-like exposures, it is proposed that the guide element be a metal band which is mounted in a U-shape with the fiber optical waveguide being connected to one side of the metal band. Thus, as the recording element shifts, the curvature of the fiber optical waveguide remains constant to prevent shifting of the light distribution exiting the fiber optical waveguide.

  • Patent number: 4729667
    Abstract: The process consists in that two comparison tube sections (3; 4), which originate from a single condenser tube and of which one (3) is left in the corroded condition and/or the condition encrusted by mineral deposits and the other (4) is brought into the new condition by etching or other cleaning procedures, are conductively connected in series, and cooling water flows through them and they are heated from the outside in a condenser chamber in each case (1 and 2 respectively) by steam flows of equal power. The temperatures (t.sub.1, t.sub.2 and t.sub.3, t.sub.4 respectively) measured at the inlet and outlet positions of the comparison tube sections (3; 4), the measured values of the mass flow of cooling water (M.sub.w) and the steam temperatures (t.sub.f ; t.sub.b) and the heat flows (Q.sub.kf =Q.sub.kb) in the two condenser chambers (1 and 2 respectively) permit the determination of the thermal resistance (R.sub.

  • Patent number: 4330034
    Abstract: In order to reduce the difference in stress of the tubes through which heating steam is flowing in the case of heat exchangers where the tubes are concentrated in at least two horizontal bundles and where heating steam flows through the tubes and a power medium flows around the tubes, it is proposed that there are arranged at the intake openings of the tubes (1) through which the heating steam is flowing baffles (3) with different intake profiles (4) in such manner that within each bundle of tubes the intake profiles (4) will become smaller in direction of flow of the power medium to be heated.
