An event detection device consists of a sensing means 1 e.g. a PIR sensor generating an output signal in response to the detection of an event and a fault monitoring system comprising a two stage amplifier 2, a comparator means 4 for comparing the output signal with a threshold signal and able to activate a timed sequence processor 5 when the output signal exceeds the threshold on a first occasion...

Absorption mat lead-acid batteries poorly dissipate heat from the internal components of the battery (10) due to the air gap (35, 37) which exists between the plates (20) and the inner wall of the container (12). Improved thermal management of the battery (10) is achieved by filling the air gap (35, 37), an insulating gap, with a thermally conductive gel (40), such as a gel formed of fumed silica ...

The present invention relates to a large-sized totally-enclosed maintenance-free lead-acid accumulator for starting at ultra-low temp. Its positive plate-grid alloy is composed of Bi, Na, Se, Al, Sn and the rest Pb, and its positive active substance is made up by using Pb and adding H2SO4, acrylic fibre and unlike graphite; and its negative plate-grid alloy is composed of Ca, Sn, Al, Bi and the re...

A composite material with high resistance to impact energy, comprising an expanded polymer selected among polystyrene, polypropylene, copolymer of polyphenylene oxide and polystyrene and mixtures thereof, dispersed in a resin chosen among melaminic resin, phenolic resin and polyurethane resin and mixtures thereof.

Panels on a vehicle frame are inspected by irradiation, eg with a scanned laser beam, and detection of reflected light, eg by camera. The resulting profile data is differentiated to produce linear differential data which is processed to measure the degree and range of distortion. The central point of the distortion is determined from the linear profile data and a smoothed version thereof, and the ...

Bedding with good dust mite control comprises a mattress 1 and a removable, washable pad 10. The mattress has a continuous impervious internal layer 7 which extends over the top surface of the filling and down the mattress sides 4. This impervious layer isolates the sleeper from the body of the mattress and any dust mites contained therein. The sleeper lies on the pad which can be removed from the...

A method is provided for producing bismuth and bismuth alloy shot particles by a procedure whereby molten bismuth at a temperature less than about 100 DEG C. above the melting point of the bismuth is used to form drops of molten bismuth which fall through a vessel containing a material more viscous than water with the method having a Reynolds Number less than about 100. Preferred materials are po...

Date Mar. 7, 1996A process is for the continuous production of beer having a diacetyl content below 0.1 mg/l from a cooked, unfermented, fermentable wort with an oxygen content of 0.5 to 3.0 mg O2 per liter.

A test strip is provided for determining the presence or quantity of an analyte in a liquid by inserting the strip into an optical reading apparatus. The test strip is provided with an orientation index zone having a reflectance that contrasts with the reflectance of areas contiguous thereto and such orientation index zone is employed to affirm that the test strip has not been inserted upside down...

A test strip is provided for having liquid applied thereto and for determining the presence or quantity of an analyte in such liquid. Specifically, the test strip comprises a reaction zone which varies in reflectance as a function of the quantity of analtye present in the applied liquid. The strip is to be inserted into an optical reading apparatus. A standard zone is positioned on the strip so as...
