Abstract: The invention relates to a headlamp adjusting device with lamp units that can be adjusted in groups. To this end, each lamp unit is mounted individually directly or indirectly in the headlamp housing by means of one respective joint; and it is swivelably mounted in a first feed mechanism. The headlamp adjusting device comprises a second feed mechanism. The second feed mechanism guides the first feed mechanism. The orientation of the feed motion of the first feed mechanism and the orientation of the feed motion of the second feed mechanism enclose an angle, which is not equal to an integral multiple of Pi. With the present invention a space-saving headlamp adjusting device for adjusting the lamp units in two directions of adjustment is developed.

Abstract: A light assembly disperses light emitted by a light source. The lighting assembly includes a light entry surface for receiving the light emitted by the light source. A direction surface directs the light in a predetermined direction. A stepped region, disposed adjacent the light entry surface receives the light directed by the direction surface and reflects the light. The stepped region includes a plurality of step parts, each defining a light deflection surface, wherein each of the light deflection surfaces is greater in area s step distance between the light deflection surface and the direction surface increases.

Abstract: A vehicle taillight has a housing and a light-transmissive cover for closing off the housing. At least one light source is located within the housing for emitting light through the light-transmissive cover. At least one light-guiding member is positioned within the housing between the light source and the light-transmissive cover. The light-guiding member consists of light guide material and reflects light emitted by the light source onto the light-transmissive cover.

Abstract: An override function for an automatic temperature and/or air flow controller is achieved with an individual, at least partial closing of outlet nozzles of a ventilation system independent of the controller the outlet nozzles are in the middle plane in the inside of the motor vehicle and controlled by way of a regulating device. The regulating device is additionally set as a function of a condition of an adjustable control mechanism device which is assigned to each of the outlet nozzles for the manual, at least partial, blocking of the outlet nozzles. A rotary control knob is respectively integrated into each of the outlet nozzle housings as the adjustable control mechanism, and has an assigned set potentiometer with a variable setting range including a first setpoint for automatic operation control and an override control range with a variable setpoint for the correspondingly variable blocking condition of the outlet nozzles.

Abstract: A mixed hardware register and memory architecture is provided by the present invention to maintain the advantage of variable length stack frames while eliminating the requirement for a stack pointer. The invention includes a global register bank and a stack register bank with two independent address means for addressing the global and stack register banks. Registers are provided as temporary memories for the source operand and destination operand, and a second data path is provided for transfer of data words directly from memory to the local and global registers. The frame pointer is incorporated as a portion of the status register present in the global register bank. Storage of the status register on a call instruction and restore of the status register in a return instruction automatically stores the frame pointer providing the elimination of a hardware register and one cycle in both call and return instructions over prior art devices.

Abstract: A method of controlling instructions in a data-processing system, wherein instructions including branching instructions pointing to an instruction address defining a branch address are loaded in sequence in response to a loading indicator that is always increased by no more than a prescribed difference in relation to an instruction address (BRA) that is constantly to be increased in accordance with one program runthrough and ahead of the instructions address, from instruction addresses in a main memory (MEM) into an instruction buffer memory (IBUF) and addressable therein by an instruction address.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for the transmission of a refresh signal to a semiconductor memory connected with a central computer bus with predetermined transmission priority, the refresh signal and a refresh repeat signal which determines the chronological transmission of the refresh signal, being transmitted to the memory by a central processing unit at a predetermined priority in relation to other aggregates connected to the computer bus. According to the invention, the refresh repeat signal is split into at least two chronologically successive signals during the first component signal, and the refresh signal is transmitted to the computer bus during transmission of the first component at low priority, transmission of the refresh signal not being possible during the first component, and the refresh signal being placed on the computer bus on a higher priority during the second component signal.

Abstract: The sludge water valve for closing the opening communicating with a sludge water discharge channel is disposed in that surface of the side wall of the excess head chamber which is near the solid bed of the filter system and is adapted to open with a hinging movement around a pivot extending substantially at the height of the solid bed along the bottom edge of the valve lid.The discharge rate of the water in the excess head chamber is controlled, and discharge of granular material forming the bed prevented, by the lid being opened stepwise. The top edge of the lid forms a weir edge for the water layer which is immediately above the bed. Consequently, the residual column of the water in the excess head chamber is reduced for the air phase of backwashing.
