Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, provides an improved base drive arrangement for scan and/or EHT output stages in a television or video display monitor. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, by adding just a few components to an existing main base drive circuit, two power transistors may be driven, e.g. a scan output transistor and an EHT output transistor. The two power transistors are switched at the same time, allowing pulse width modulators of the scan and EHT circuits to operate on a common time base. Switching of two power transistors at the same time would usually require a quite complicated design to offset the different storage times of the two devices, thereby achieving high performance but at a considerable cost premium. The base drive circuit of the invention achieve substantial synchronization of the two transistors at minimal cost.

Abstract: An electrothermal ink jet print head is constructed in layer structure, wherein the expansion direction of the ink vapor bubble is directed opposite to the ink-ejection direction. Each ink channel (16) of the ink jet print head is supplied with ink by flow throttles for a highest degree of effectiveness. For this purpose, a cover plate (1) is furnished with openings (2). The openings (2) join into an ink storage container. The openings (2) are connected with recess openings (25) to the ink channel (16) in the chip (11). Selectively, the recess openings (25) can be furnished in the chip (11) or in the cover plate (1). A method is provided for producing the recess openings (25).

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a light wave guide providing a cladding and a light conducting core, from a glass tube, showing a material on or below its inner surface which forms the core of the finished light wave guide comprising at least one substance which is diffused out selectively of this material, forming the core subsequently, into the interior space of the glass tube, whereby during the diffusing-out process the partial pressure of the diffusing-out substance in the interior space of the glass tube is maintained as small as possible, whereby a premature collapsing of the glass tube during the diffusion process is prevented by adjusting an overpressure in the glass tube, that the glass tube after the diffusing out process is largely collapsed by rinsing with a rinsing gas and in a last collapsing step is completely collapsed to a rod (perform) without rinsing with a rinsing gas and that the rod is subsequently drawn out to a fiber.

The invention therefore provides a method of producing 1-desoxynojirimycin which comprises culturing a 1-desoxynojirimycin producing organism of the genus Bacillus. Inhibitors for glycoside hydrolases and the invention includes methods for producing such inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions containing the inhibitors and methods of treatment involving the use of the inhibitors.

Abstract: The present mixer for construction materials, such as a bituminous sludge, has a trough with an inlet and an outlet and two mixing shafts equipped with blades rotatably supported in the trough in parallel to each other. The blades are uniformly spaced along both shafts and staggered by 90.degree. around each shaft whereby the blades of each shaft follow one another in helical succession. Simultaneously the blades form four in line rows on each shaft. The arrangement of the blades is identical on each shaft except that the helix formed by the blades on one shaft has preferably a pitch direction opposite to that formed by the blades on the other shaft since the shafts rotate in opposite directions but convey in the same direction. The spacing between adjacent blades on both shafts is the same. However, blades located in the same plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axes of the shafts are always spaced by 90.degree.

Abstract: In a device for measuring redox gases, such as alcohol, in a person's breath, a disposable tubular mouthpiece forms an elongated flow passage and is displaceably securable in a measuring head. The mouthpiece has an opening at one end for blowing air into it and openings along its length for directing the air into the measuring head. A check valve is located in the flow passage so that air exhaled into the opening in the end of the mouthpiece can flow to the measuring head, but inhaling on the mouthpiece places the check valve in a closed position. The mouthpiece can be formed of a single molded piece or two tubular portions secured together. The end of the mouthpiece opposite the open end is closed and is spaced from the openings into the measuring head for forming a moisture chamber for collecting saliva.

Abstract: The present spreading apparatus for road construction mixtures, such as bituminous cold mixtures, has at least two V- or U-shaped screeding structures or screeds one leading and the other trailing with respect to the working direction. The leading screed extends tandemly, partially into the angle formed by the trailing screed. The leading screed structure has a worm type conveyor connected parallel to each wall of the V- or U-shaped screed. The worm type conveyor assures the homogenity of the road construction mixture and reduces the inherent pressure of the mixture against the leveling elements. Both the leading and the trailing screed are adjustably inclined away from the working direction. The adjustment of the screed position may be made, for example, by a spindle with a hand wheel.

Abstract: This invention relates to improved flow control mechanism for valve gated injection molding. The mechanism is of the type where movement of the valve pin is controlled by a pneumatically driven rocker arm. The back plate is cast with an integral pivot pin portion projecting from it and a pivot ball is fixed in a seat on the end of it. The rocker arm has a recess which receives the pivot ball for pivotal motion on the pivot pin portion of the back plate. The back plate is cast of a steel with sufficient strength and flexibility to withstand the repeated lateral loading on it due to the pivotal motion of the rocker arm, while the pivot ball is formed of a significantly harder material to avoid unacceptable wear where it is in moving contact with the rocker arm. Casting the back plate rather than machining it, enables bends in the runner passage extending through it to be smoothly curved, thus avoiding "dead spots".
