Abstract: A method and an apparatus for manufacturing books or brochures with a book block of printed sheets which are thread-stitched at the side of the fold, wherein the method includes successively and in a predetermined sequence supplying the printed sheets spread in the middle and with the side portions thereof directed downwardly to a stitching saddle which interacts with a stitching device arranged at a right angle relative to the fold of the printed sheets. The printed sheets are positioned on the stitching saddle in accordance with the stitching position and are subsequently transferred to the stitching device for sewing the printed sheets into book blocks. The method further includes aligning the trailing edge of a supplied printed sheet on the stitching saddle flush on the right hand side in accordance with one of the top edge and the bottom edge of a book block which has at least been partially sewed by the stitching machine.

Abstract: In a gas-cooled electrical machine, the conductor bars (3, 4) in the winding overhang are cooled directly by a flow element of the cooling gas flow which is passed through cooling channels (8) located within the eyes (5a, 5b) of the bar ends. To this end, the bar levels of the winding bars, which are designed as a two-level bar, are spaced apart from one another in the eye region, and thus form a radial cooling channel (8). These radial cooling channels (8) are coupled to the discharge eyes (5b) by pipe connections (10) which are connected electrically, and in terms of the flow, to round connections (20). The cooling channels (9) in the round connections (20) are connected by means of insulating tubes (31) or insulating hoses to an induction area (32) of the machine fan, which is separated from the winding overhang area (30) by a bulkhead wall (33). The invention allows the bar ends and the round connections (20) connected to them in the winding overhang to be cooled optimally, since the cooling is direct.

Abstract: In the method for producing conductor bars for dynamoelectric machines, the conductor bars are inserted, with a main insulation (4), applied when dry, into a pressing device with the interposition of a separating film, are pressed to size in said pressing device and, together with the pressing device, are impregnated with impregnating resin in an impregnating vessel and cured.In order to increase the dimensional accuracy of the conductor bars and to simplify the production method, the dry-insulated conductor bars are inserted (10, 11) individually into a pressing device which is adapted to the bar shape and surrounds the conductor bar over its entire length and circumference and are pressed to the final dimension in said pressing device. Subsequently, a plurality of conductor bars thus prepared are inserted together with the associated pressing device into the impregnating vessel and impregnated there with impregnating resin.

Abstract: An arrangement for sealing the slots, which are filled with conductor bars or coils, in the laminated stator core of an electrical machine by use of slot sealing elements includes an upper prismatic body, on whose underneath a surface runs in an inclined manner, and a lower prismatic body. The upper surface, facing the upper body, runs inclined in the opposite direction to the gradient of the lower surface of the upper body, and actual wedging is effected by relative displacement of the two prismatic bodies with respect to one another.In order to be able to utilize the elasticity of the upper body in the transverse direction in an optimum manner, the force is introduced from the conductor bar or coil to the upper prismatic body, essentially only in its central section, over its entire length. As a consequence, relatively large spring movements in the radial direction are available which, for their part, can compensate better for a seating phenomena in the winding structure.

Abstract: The disclosed waveguide branch separating filter can be modularly constructed of a basic frequency separating filter and of a filter expansion unit. Both the basic frequency separating filter as well as the filter expansion unit are composed of a reactively terminated (including short circuit) feeder waveguide to which the separating filters are coupled. The expansion of the basic frequency separating filter occurs in largely disturbance-free fashion during operation in that the reactive termination (including short circuit) thereof is mechanically replaced by the filter expansion unit and is electrically simulated during the refitting by a short-circuit plate or by short-circuit pins.

Abstract: A space surveillance apparatus includes at least one source of sonic radiation driven by a driver circuit as well as a processing or evaluation circuit. Upon movement of an object, or presence of a foreign object within a monitored space, the processing circuit triggers an alarm signal. Each sonic source defines the volume of its own monitored space, according to the equation:L=D.sup.2 /(4.lambda.),wherein:L=Length of main direction of radiation of the monitored space;D=Diameter of diaphragm of sonic source; and.lambda.=Wavelength of acoustic wave.The driver circuit drives the sonic source either in continuous mode, or in pulsed mode, and either at a constant wavelength or at a variable wavelength, i.e. in frequency modulation.

Abstract: An intrusion detector evaluates the infrared radiation emitted by an intruder within a closely defined zone or area by means of a virtual protective curtain. Uniform sensitivity independent of incident angle of the radiation is provided by a cylindrical Fresnel lens of small thickness, which divides the field of reception into sharply defined strips or elongate zones of substantially uniform sensitivity. The longitudinal axis of this Fresnel lens defines an arcuate sector of a circle whose radius is determined by the focal length in perpendicular direction, and an infrared sensor is arranged at the circular center point, i.e., the focal point of the curved Fresnel lens. One particularly advantageous embodiment of the intrusion detector includes a double sensor configuration, equipped with several sensor elements cooperating with one or more cylindrical Fresnel lenses, thus covering a number of separate zones for simultaneous radiation detection.

Abstract: In an infrared intrusion detector which evaluates the body radiation of an intruder by means of a dual radiation sensor having two sensor elements arranged in a differential circuit for emitting an alarm signal, a functional supervision and detection of an attempt at sabotage, e.g., by covering or spraying the entrance window, are achieved by asymmetric irradiation of the two sensor elements through the entrance window by a radiation source. The asymmetry can be achieved by disposing the radiation source outside the plane of symmetry of the sensor elements or by an asymmetrically disposed auxiliary reflector.

Abstract: The optical device comprises a lighting unit with two light sources (1) with reflectors (2), whose optical axes (11) are inclined towards one another, with prism pairs (3, 4) for forming two parallel image channels (10, 11) arranged in the optical path and a supplementary lens arranged after a basic optical (12) of a commercial projector for the lateral expansion of the linearly compressed individual images and lenses (A, B, C) for the distortion-free superwide angle imaging of the image pairs on a spherically curved surface. By means of this optical device, a normal commercially available cine projector can be upgraded to a projection apparatus for stereoscopic, linear anamorphotically compressed image pairs on an extremely large, spherically curved wide-screen surface.
