Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a radio wristwatch with a receiving unit, an aerial (16) and a clockwork that are all housed in a casing (30), said casing (30) including a substantially annular casing frame (32), characterized by a separate container module (10) that accommodates the receiving unit, the aerial (16) and the clockwork, a glass ring (36) retaining a watch-glass (34) being removably mounted on the upper side of the casing frame (32), a bottom (38) being firmly inserted on the lower side of the casing frame (32) and the container module (10) being form-fittingly inserted from the top into the casing frame (32) and fixed in the casing by said glass ring (36).

Abstract: An optical module comprises a support (T) on which an optical fibre (F) is mounted. Introduced on the support (T) is a V-groove (VG) that serves only to fix the fibre (F). Applied perpendicularly to the groove (VG) is a strip-shaped contact layer (CL). The fibre (F) is pressed into the groove (VG). When the fibre (F) is pressed into the groove (VG), the contact layer (CL) forms a mechanical joint with the fibre (F) in the form of a cold weld. This functions particularly well in the case of glass fibres having a contact layer of aluminium (Al). The contact layer (CL) is preferably composed of a plurality of narrow strips extending perpendicularly to the groove (VG).

Abstract: A spherical lens (K) for an optoelectronic module has a plane surface that is provided with a solderable metal coating (M). The spherical lens (K) is soldered by means of its plane, metallized surface (M) onto a solder pad (P) applied to the substrate (T).

Abstract: A watch, especially a wrist, pocket watch or table clock, with a case containing a movement and means for showing the time, in which a game of skill fitted in the case can be played from outside.

Abstract: An electrode array for an electrooptical facsimile recorder and a method of controlling this electrode array are disclosed. A plurality of spot electrodes are inserted between two main electrodes deposited on a lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) substrate. In this manner, three partial lines of electrically controllable light gates are formed which provide a line-at-a-time output of the information to be reproduced. The individual light gates are controlled by driver ICs with push-pull output stages. To control the individual partial lines, different voltages must be applied to the main and spot electrodes.

Abstract: A method and manual apparatus for the semimechanical galvanizing of sheet metal surfaces according to an absorbent covering, which serves for the post-galvanizing of body sheet metal panels within the area of a damage of the zinc layer. According to this method, the surface of the panal is electrocleaned within the area of the damage with an aqueous alkaline solution by an automatic to and fro movement by means of an absorbent covering secured at the hand apparatus. Thereafter, a zinc electrolyte on an alkaline basis is applied by the movement of the hand apparatus by means of a further absorbent covering connected with the hand apparatus with a current of about 10 to 15 A and a voltage of 11 to 13 V and a zinc layer with a thickness of 8 to 12 .mu.m is produced.

Abstract: A high-resolution position sensor utilizes a detector having at least one flat magnetic-field-dependent resistor, in stripe form, whose ends are connectable to an output voltage, and a magnetizable device which is moveable relative to the magnetic-field-dependent resistor and has portions transverse to the direction of movement which exhibit alternately different space permeabilities, with the magnetic-field-dependent resistor extending parallel to and at a distance from said portions by the magnetic-field-dependent resistor. The magnetic field dependent resistor displays anisotropy in the longitudinal direction of the stripes. At least in the area of the magnetic-field-dependent resistor the device is magnetized in or opposite the direction of movement.

Abstract: Flow-through chambers, such as drip or expansion chambers, which are intended to form part of a duct for blood or other such sensitive fluids, are disclosed. The chambers include a housing, an inlet, an outlet, and a flow directing portion of the housing for directing the flow of the fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The flow directing portion of the housing is formed in a manner so as to deflect the flow of the fluid from the inlet towards the outlet in a gradual manner so as to protect the fluid within the chamber.
