Abstract: A multifunction unit for control of multimedia equipment; the unit might act as a stand-alone device or being integrated into the multimedia equipment. Different individual combinations of individual objects enable for different functional capabilities. The multifunction unit for control of multimedia equipment has access to external sources via standard network interfaces and protocols.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for optimizing the performance of a loudspeaker system as perceived by user. The physical part of the speaker system is adjustable which enables the speaker units to be placed in positions that imply maximal acoustical performance. This is obtained by combined means to: 1) bring the speaker in a specified position and 2) apply accordingly position dependant individual acoustical filters inserted in the signal path to each individual speaker.

Abstract: The present invention provides an input device where the input, is created by translating a front plate in relation to the chassis such that the translation movement may easily be controlled, and at the same time, due to the freedom built into the device, any level of menu control and selection criteria may be provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing chewing gum granules. The method comprises at least the steps of feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder (2), pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate (5), and cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber (4). The extruded gum composition comprises at least 71% Wt. gum base and the cut granules are included in compressed gum tablets. The invention further relates to a chewing gum product, and to a chewing gum granulating system.

Abstract: Apparatus for measuring accumulated and instant rate of material loss or material gain of metal elements for the detection of metal deposition and corrosion includes a metal probe that is inserted into a measurement environment, causing the probe to experience metal deposition or corrosion. The probe has a corrosion-resistant first section and a corrodible second section. A temperature-compensated circuit receives an input signal from each of the first and second sections of the probe, whereby the circuit maintains a substantially constant voltage across the first section and generates a reference signal and a measurement signal. The circuit conditions and converts the reference signal and the measurement signal to produce first and second digitized output signals for inputting to a microprocessor.

Abstract: A helical screw lift system for an elevator includes a rigid vertical frame having at least one rigid vertical rail; and a single elongate helical screw having an inclined helical flight. The screw is rotatably vertically mounted to the frame at opposite ends of the screw. A motor mounted to the frame rotates the screw. A carriage is mounted to the vertical rail for vertical translation. An elevator platform is mounted to the carriage. Four wheels are rigidly mounted cantilevered from the carriage. The wheels engage and bear down on the helical flight of the screw for rolling translation therealong when the screw is rotated about its longitudinal axis so as to raise or lower the elevator platform.

Abstract: A container (2) for bulk matter comprises a rigid mouthpiece (5), a pouch (4) in sealing connection with the mouthpiece, and a septum (6), which seals off the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece defines a lumen (7) matched to the pouch in order that the septum may be pierced to free an opening, by which any matter held by the container will be permitted to leave said pouch by flowing through the opening, substantially without meeting any restrictions. The invention also provides a cartridge with a powdered filling, and a method of manufacturing a cartridge.

Abstract: A package (1) for measured amounts of different photographic chemicals, which are to be stored apart and which are to be discharged simultaneously with a view to stirring into liquid, comprises an outer membrane (4) and at least one partition wall (5) that divides the chamber delimited by the outer membrane into two compartments (3,3). According to the invention, the package comprises a storage portion (12) and a neck portion (13), said partition wall extending across both portions, and those portions of the compartments which are disposed within the storage portion essentially containing the full, measured amounts of chemicals. The neck portion is so designed that a single cut along the cutting line (11) opens both chambers.

Abstract: A process for obtaining a package containing at least two mutually reactive materials comprises the steps of introducing the reactive materials into an envelope suitable for vacuum packing, placing the reactive materials within said envelope in separate layers with at least one intervening separating layer of a material which is inert relative to the adjacent layer of a reactive material, evacuating and sealing the envelope.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control circuit for controlling the speed ratio of a lead motor and a follower motor. The outputs of pulse generators driven by the motors are compared by being fed the positive and negative inputs of a bidirectional counter which outputs a positive or negative value indicative of the sensed speed ratio. A digital/analog converter driven by the counter effectively controls the speed of the follower motor pursuant to the sensed speed ratio.

Abstract: The invention relates to a DC control circuit for controlling the speed and rotary direction of a three-phase asynchronous motor. The circuit has an inverter section having three branches with a pair of switch elements in series in each of the branches. The inverter section has a common extinguishing switch element in shunt with the three branches. A speed determining frequency generator is responsive to the voltage of the DC supply and an ignition signal generator for operating the inverter switch elements is driven by the frequency generator. An extinction signal generator for operating the common extinguishing switch element is also driven by the frequency generator. A reversing circuit section between the ignition signal generator and the inverter branches has two states for exchanging the control lines of the inverter switch elements in at least two of the branches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control circuit for a self-starting electric motor of the type having stator windings in respective series relation with gate type electronic switches which are controlled by control impulses generated in a gate circuit. A motor starting pulse generator is connected to the gate circuit which generates short starting pulses and long blocking pulses. Motor operating controls responsive to commutation impulses are connected to the gate circuit which override the effects of the motor starting pulse generator during normal operation. An integrator for the commutation pulses generates a voltage level signal which corresponds to the speed of the motor. A comparator compares this signal with a reference voltage and, when the signal reaches a predetermined level, the motor starting generator is overriden. When the motor is stopped for any reason the short starting pulses attempt to start the motor at intervals determined by the length of the blocking signals.
