Abstract: A sewing machine lighting equipment comprises light emitting diodes, which are arranged on at least two sides of the needle bar and which are disposed in at least one lighting device.

Abstract: A microprocessor-assisted sewing machine control equipment is flexibly applicable for controlling the sewing machine driving motor and further electric motors which are controlled independently of or in dependence on the rotary position. To this end, a control system is allocated to each electric motor, comprising an open-loop control unit for rotary-position-independent controlling, a closed-loop control unit for controlling the electric motor in dependence on the rotary position, and a selection unit. The selection unit couples for control either the closed-loop control unit or the open-loop control unit with the electric motor, depending on whether the electric motor is controlled by closed-loop control in dependence on the rotary position or by open-loop control independently of the rotary position.

Abstract: An earth retaining wall formed by stacked, alternately staggered rows of spaced, nesting, chevron-shaped concrete blocks. Adjacent blocks in some rows are coupled together by connecting tubes extending into holes through the blocks, and elongated anchoring devices are connected to the tubes and extend horizontally into the earth. Alternatively, the anchoring devices may be concrete extensions integrally moulded with the blocks.
