The invention relates to the structure of a profiled element (1) in a vehicle tire tread (2). A conventional profiled element is provided with narrow fine slits (3), oriented mainly in the axial direction of the tire, in order to improve the grip between the tread and the road surface. However, said fine slits make the profiled element wobbly and the driving instable. The object of the invention i...

A pouch containing a flowable material and films and processes for making the pouch are disclosed. The pouch is made from a sealant film having at least two heat-sealed edges and made from a material comprising a copolymer of ethylene and at least one C4-C10 alpha-olefin manufactured in a polymerization process using a single-site polymerization catalyst.

A retractable speaker assembly for a partition, such as a ceiling, having a housing containing a speaker, a cavity, an actuator and a panel. The housing is concealed by the panel when the assembly is in a closed position, and is exposed when the assembly is in an operable position. The actuator moves the assembly between the closed and operable positions. The panel is positioned in such a way that...

The invention relates to an exercise device capable of entirely supporting a person's head, back and buttocks (seat) through the use of a carriage (located and moving on the inclined semi-circular tracks) and the feet through the use of the foot rest. The semi-circular tracks and the foot rest are mounted on vertical posts which are connected to a solid rectangular frame. The movement of the carri...

The invention relates to a mobile telephone holder (1) adapted to be connected to and held in position in a power outlet, for example the cigarette-lighter current outlet (15) in a car. The holder (1) comprises a support portion (2) and a nose portion (3) connected thereto. Said nose portion (3) can by means of a mounting mechanism (4), in the shape of an expansion device, be held in position in t...

The invention relates to a method for transmitting information to the DVB network (15) as an information stream according to the DVB standards, in which method the information to be transmitted is sent from the information producer (11a) or transmitter to the operator (19) of the DVB network (15) for transmission to the DVB network (15), and the information producer (11a) transmits the information...

The present invention provides methods for determining the bound fluid volume (BFV) of a formation utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques in which less than full polarization occurs and in which less than a complete NMR distribution is acquired. The effect of the polarizing static magnetic field is shortened in time by applying a shortened wait time between NMR measurements so that ...

Protecteur d'aiguille hypodermique constitué d'une pièce. monobloc venue de moulage en résine de synthèse, cette pièce comportant une partie distale qui forme un capuchon (1) dans lequel est logée la partie d'extrémité distale (3a) de l'aiguille (3), et une partie proximale qui forme une embase (4) dans laquelle est encastrée la partie d'extrémité proximale (3b) de l'aiguille, ces deux parties éta...

Compositions comprising a polyester resin and a polyamide derived from a dicarboxylic acid with 6-22 carbon atoms and from m-xylylene diamine having high-level gas barrier properties, obtained by mixing in the melted state the polyester resin premixed with a dianhydride of a tetracarboxylic acid and the polyamide, operating under conditions such as to render the polymeric components rheologically ...

A multipurpose rope clamp may be attached to a support or suspended from a rail as desired. The clamp provides clamping channel in an open channel between a back plate and a front tongue. Rope is prevented from slipping out of the mouth of the channel by rope guides defining open rope guide channels which open in a direction opposed to the rope gripping channel to form a partial cover for the rope...

The nest box is assembled from a thin panel (9) with roof and base sections (10, 11) at opposite ends and wall sections (12) in between, the roof and base sections being foldable relative to the wall sections.

Two filter units (12.A.a-12.C.b) are arranged per level, forming flow channels (S1-S4) that ensure pressure drop and air flow rate are uniform throughout the filter device. - An air filter device comprises a parallelepipedical housing whose side walls (2-4) define an air flow path between its two ends (6, 7), and a number of identical, rectangular, planar, parallel filter units arranged one above ...
