摘要： A disc-shaped information carrier (1) with a substrate (3) and an information layer (5) which comprises optically readable elementary marks having a substantially uniform density. The information layer (5) comprises a first portion (11) suitable for being read out at a first read-out speed and a second portion (13) suitable for being read out at a second read-out speed higher than the first read-out speed. According to the invention, the second portion (13) of the information layer (5) is at a greater distance to a center (7) of the disc-shaped information carrier (1) than is the first portion (11) of the information layer (5). A range of rotational speeds which an optical read-out unit must have for a full and correct read-out of the information carrier (1) is reduced in this manner. In a special embodiment, the first portion (11) of the information layer (5) comprises a first version of an audio recording provided on the information layer (5) by the DSD transformation method, whereas the second portion (13) of the information layer (5) comprises a second version of this same audio recording provided on the information layer (5) by the PCM transformation method.

摘要： A separator device (3) provided with a cyclone chamber (11, 79) for separating solid and/or liquid particles from a gas flow. The cyclone chamber (11, 79) has an upper wall (49) in which an outlet opening (15) is present, and a substantially rotationally symmetrical side wall (47, 81) in which an inlet opening (13) is present adjacent the upper wall (49). A discharge opening (17, 85) for the separated solid and/or liquid particles is present at a side (55, 83) of the cyclone chamber (11, 79) remote from the upper wall (49). According to the invention, a rotatable annular centrifugal unit (61, 87) is arranged in the cyclone chamber (11, 79) around the outlet opening (15) near the upper wall (49), by means of which unit a short-circuit flow running directly from the inlet opening (13) to the outlet opening (15) in the cyclone chamber (11, 79) is prevented. The efficiency of the separator device (3) is considerably improved thereby. In a first embodiment, the centrifugal unit (61) comprises a rotatable annular disc (65) positioned adjacent and parallel to the upper wall (49). In a second embodiment, the centrifugal unit (87) comprises a rotatable rim of blades (89) which is partly countersunk into a recess (95) in the upper wall (49). The separator device (3) can be used in a cyclone vacuum cleaner (1).

摘要： A vacuum cleaner with a suction nozzle (11) which is coupled to a handle (15) on which a user of the vacuum cleaner can exert a pushing or pulling force (FG) for moving the suction nozzle (11) over a surface (5) to be cleaned. The suction nozzle (11) is provided with electrical drive means (29) for exerting a driving force (FD) on the suction nozzle (11), such that the pushing or pulling force (FG) to be exerted by the user is limited. According to the invention, the vacuum cleaner comprises a detector (51, 81) capable of measuring the pushing or pulling force (FG) exerted on the handle (15) and an electrical controller (57) for controlling the driving force (FD) as a function of the measured pushing or pulling force (FG). The controller (57) controls the driving force (FD) in such a manner, for example, that the measured pushing or pulling force (FG) remains substantially zero. It is thus possible for the user to move the suction nozzle (11) effortlessly over the surface (5) to be cleaned. In a special embodiment, the handle (15) is coupled to the suction nozzle (11) by means of an elastically deformable coupling member (41, 69), while the detector (51, 81) comprises a position sensor (53, 83) for measuring a position of the handle (15) with respect to the suction nozzle (11).

摘要： An engine throttle is controllably positioned by an electric motor which is coupled to the throttle through engaged, first and second, variable-radius scroll gears. The motor works against the force of a throttle return spring, and this force increases as the throttle is driven away from a fail-safe position. By choosing the variation of the ratio of the scroll gear radii to match the variation of the force developed by the spring with throttle position, a constant driving torque produced by the motor will overcome the increasing torque produced by the spring.

摘要： A device (1, 101) for the exchange of information with an electronic memory card (7) which can be placed into a read position in the device (1, 101) through an insertion opening (5) along an insertion track (47), in which position electrical contacts (59) of the memory card (7) are in contact with electrical contacts (33) of the device (1, 101) provided on a carrier (31) which is displaceable transversely to the insertion track (47). In the absence of the memory card (7), the contacts (33) are situated in the insertion track (47) under the influence of a pretensioning force. The carrier (31) has an abutment surface (61) which extends obliquely relative to the insertion track (47) so that the carrier (31) can be displaced out of the insertion track (47) by the memory card (7) against the pretensioning force during the passage of the memory card (7). In the read position of the memory card (7), accordingly, the carrier (31) is in a position which is adapted to the thickness of the memory card (7), so that the device (1, 101) is suitable for cooperating with memory cards of various thicknesses. The device (1, 101) may be used, for example, in a car radio (77, 103) for cooperating with a safety card protecting against theft of the car radio (77, 103). In a special embodiment, the device (1, 101) is fastened to a printed circuit board (85) of the car radio (77, 103), the carrier (31) being arranged in an opening (27) in an upper plate (17) of the device (1, 101) and in an adjoining further opening (93) in the printed circuit board (85), so that the compartment space required by the device (1, 101) in the car radio (77, 103) is negligibly small.

摘要： A control unit (75) for controlling a first state variable of a system, for example an angle of rotation ζ of a throttle valve (7) in a throttle device for use in an internal-combustion engine, the system being influenced by a disturbance variable during operation, for example an oscillating loading torque caused by air-flow fluctuations in the throttle device. The control unit (75) comprises a disturbance observer (125) for calculating a value of the disturbance variable on the basis of a mathematical model of the system, and a disturbance predictor (128) for predicting a value of the disturbance variable for a second point in time which follows a first point in time at which said value in calculated by the disturbance observer (125) by a predetermined time interval. In this manner, a phase shift between the disturbance variable actually influencing the system and a compensation for the disturbance variable realized by the system is prevented at high frequencies of the disturbance variable. In a particular embodiment, the disturbance predictor (128) comprises an artificial neural network (207) having a learning phase and a test phase. In a further embodiment, the disturbance predictor (128) supplies a signal corresponding to the value of the disturbance variable calculated by the disturbance observer (125) when the neural network (207) is in the learning phase, and a signal corresponding to the value of the disturbance variable predicted for the second point in time when the neural network (207) is in the test phase.
