A lamp has several pivoting battens (5) used as a screen. The battens are pivoted eccentrically relative to their cross-section. In fact their shape is circular with a screening lip (6). They are parallel to each other and are spaced apart so that on adjustment they can touch or have a space between them. There is a handle to operate them. Several or all the battens have the same range of movemen...

A device for the ablation of biological substances by laser radiation, especially for stomatologic treatment, comprises a pump laser and a laser converter for converting the pump laser radiation into a laser radiation having the wavelength range of 3 mum±0.2 mum, wherein the laser converter is accommodated in a treatment head which is separated from the pump laser by a fiber-optic device. There is...

Line patterns are applied by means of at least one laser beam which is directed to the surface of the enamel layer (12) of the metal-covered board (11) to alter this surface in such a way that the line pattern optically differs from the rest of the surface. Independent claims are also included for a device for carrying out the method. The device includes a support table for the board (11), and a r...

Rotation of the head (2) replaces the full tube (9) with an empty tube (8). Guides on the swing arm (20) control the path of the yarn (1) during the changeover. The arm carries a movable guide (23) to take the yarn out of the traverse guide (17) to the entrainment region (11) on the tube (8) and a fixed guide (24) to wind a bunch to secure the yarn end on the full bobbin. An Independent claim is a...

The regulator has a microprocessor (13) programmed to derive the minimum necessary torque on the drive shaft using the vehicle speed and accelerator pedal (3) depression, to derive a demand input shaft speed for the minimum drive shaft torque for minimum fuel consumption, and controls the transmission (2) to regulate the input shaft (7A) speed to equal the demand speed.
