A method of guiding the travel of golf carts, wherein a marker line is formed of cart guides and is sensed by the golf carts through guide sensing means. The carts are advanced to trace along the marker line and each of the carts is automatically steered so as not to repeatedly pass over the same route. A travel switching detector or sensing element is laid at an arbitrary part of, or in the vicin...

A method of moving and guiding the travel of a golf cart between a plurality of marker lines by steering the cart, when sensing one marker line, toward the other marker line. A plurality of parallel lines to be sensed is formed by linearly disposing magnetic elements between the marker lines such that the extended parts of the parallel lines traverse the marker lines. An angle of the golf cart goi...

The subject of the invention is a releasing device for ski bindings, having a carriage which is movable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the ski, forms a support for the heel of the ski boot and is held in its position of use by the interaction of a carriage guide and a lock operating under spring force until the forces exerted by the ski boot exceed an adjustable threshold. According to t...

In order to determine whether in the case of a plastic bottle there are present in the region of the base of a bottle fatigue cracks which exclude the further use of the bottle, the measuring beam of a laser distance measuring device is applied to the base of the bottle in the region of the crack. The quantity and depth of the cracks can be detected from the output signal of the said device to the...

The device uses a magnetic field produced by a system placed along the direction of the track to be followed. The device comprises two magnetic sensors (2, 3) mounted on the vehicle which receive and detect the field. The system producing the field is a waveguide (1) which, for the determination of any sideways deflection with respect to the direction of the track, is connected to a radio transmit...

A circuit for detecting disturbances for an electronic assembly and for storing this state for subsequent evaluation, in which a sensor for non-line-conducted electrical and/or magnetic disturbances is provided which outputs an output signal when a disturbance exceeding a predetermined level is detected, the sensor being mechanically connected in a permanent spatial allocation with the assembly, t...

To repair or join sections of a metal article, matching metal powder is sintered in the solid state to form a porous structure in the joint. A layer of matching powder, modified to incorporate melting point depressants such as boron and silicon is subsequently added to the surface of the sintered region. The joint is processed at a temperature where the modified layer melts while the sintered laye...
