  • Publication number: 20080246871
    Abstract: An image display unit (1) with a front frame (2) and with a sensor device (6) provided with a sensor (9). The sensor (9) is provided for detecting the luminance and/or the color location of an image that displayed on a display (7) of the image display unit (1). To detect luminance, known image display units have a sensor support that, in a non-operating position, is placed in a recess of a frame of a flat screen in an area that cannot be seen by a viewer. Suitable drives make it possible for the sensor support to swivel out from its non-operating position into a position for detecting the luminance. The production of an image display unit of this type is complex. In addition, the drives are susceptible to malfunction, making continuous and fault-free luminance detection impossible. The disclosed arrangement avoids these drawbacks.

  • Patent number: 4316516
    Abstract: When the difference between the weight proportional signal and the tare value is less than a predetermined threshold value, it is assumed that the zero point is changing. Main difference signals less than the threshold signal are stored and subsequently generated ones algebraically added to the first one. The so-created cumulative difference signal is compared to a predetermined limiting value. When it exceeds the limiting value the cumulative difference signal is divided by the number of differences which together created the cumulative difference signal. The so-formed average difference signal is added to the tare value prior to generation of the next main difference signal.

  • Patent number: 4291776
    Abstract: A cantilever beam is located under the pan of the scale and carries a strain gauge bridge circuit. The beam has a bore perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. A rigid force transmitting arm is screwed to the free end of the beam and extends back so that a conical peg in the arm projects into the bore. The conical peg engages a rod which transmits a force from the load to be weighed. The beam has two arcuate recesses symmetrical to the bore on its underside. Strain gauge resistors are positioned so that their centers coincide with the thinnest, and therefore maximum bending sections of the beam.

  • Patent number: 4218483
    Abstract: A dietetic foodstuff granulate having a low rate of decomposition in the digestive tract comprises casein and about 0.4-2 weight percent of carob flour based on the weight of dry casein. The particle size is preferably 0.5-5 mm. It is prepared by a process in which casein is made granulatable by addition thereto of the mentioned amount of carob flour and an effective amount of water.
