Tire-pressure monitoring apparatus for use with either single or dual tires for signaling deterioration of tire pressure by connecting tire pressure, upon actuation of a valve device by such reduced pressure, to a cylinder device which, in turn, moves a pin member into a space between two adjacent teeth of a rotatable member affixed to the tire, rotatable therewith, and having a plurality of teeth...

An instrument for ophthalmic laser surgery is disclosed, in which lasers are mounted for conjoint movement with a slit lamp on an X-Y table. The laser beams are directed into the patient's eye by a beam-directing assembly which pivots together with the slit lamp's microscope about a common axis, and which receives the laser beams along that common axis. The resulting structure greatly improves the...

A process for the recovery of silicone oil and chlorobenzenes from a mixture containing silicone oil, chlorobenzenes, and polychlorinated biphenyls comprising: (a) introducing the mixture into a distillation zone at a temperature and a pressure, which will cause the chlorobenzenes to flash overhead and the mixture of silicone oil and polychlorinated biphenyls to pass to the bottom of the zone; a...

An apparatus for welding webs of synthetic thermoplastic material as they move around a deflecting roller comprises an elongate housing, which is movable toward the deflecting roller to assume a position in which said housing is approximately concentric to said roller and closely surrounds said roller around a part of its periphery, and said housing is provided with at least one longitudinally ext...

When bonding an element into a recess it should be ensured that certain areas of the element are not wetted by the adhesive. Customary methods utilise the propagation of the adhesive by capillary action and, for example, dispense very precise quantities of adhesive. In the method according to the invention the recesses (7) are made wider at the adhesion limits (5) by notches (6). An element (1) is...

A piezoelectric device includes a first electrode, a second electrode disposed in opposing, spaced relation to the first electrode, a ferroelectric liquid crystal interposed between the first and second electrodes, a first alignment layer formed between the first electrode and the ferroelectric liquid crystal, and a second alignment layer formed between the second electrode and the ferroelectric l...

1. Process for checking the welding time of an electrically weldable joint with two tubes (2, 2') to be assembled, characterized in that it consists of sensing the variations of one property of the material to be welded, in such a way that at the instant when welding is completed, the value of this property is used as information supplied by the sensor for controlling the interruption of the weldi...
