Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Komponentengemisch auf der Grundlage eines Polyurethanprepolymers mit wenigstens einem Wirk- oder Füllstoff, zur Herstellung einer geschäumten Dichtungs- und Isoliermasse bzw. eines Einkomponenten- oder Zweikomponenten-Sprühschaumstoffes. Dieses Komponentengemisch kann einzeln oder als Gemisch in einem Druckbehälter abgefüllt werden. Nach Verlassen des Druckbehäl...

A method of, and an apparatus for, smoothly controlling the operation of a moving mechanism, particularly a wheeled one, along a target route. The deviation of the moving mechanism from the target route is calculated, and an operation quantity for controlling the operation of the moving mechanism is decided on the basis of the calculation and a target speed. A steering angle is determined by using...

A label to be secured around a container and whose length is equal to at least twice the perimeter of the container, includes a leading end which is first applied to the container and a trailing end. The face of the label which is to make contact with the container includes a first coating of adhesive extending from the leading to the trailing end of the label, and the opposite face includes a sec...

The binding has a body with a base (21) made in plastics material. This is reinforced by two side plates (23,24) joined by an upper plate (29) which are made in metal. These fit over the body and extend between the axis of articulation of the binding and the runners (36). The lower part of the reinforcing has horizontal edges (31,32) which are engaged along the lateral edges of the runner. The hor...

The operational fitness of a vehicle-mounted magnetic sensor (90) for detecting buried magnets which identify zones of operation of the vehicle can be tested from time to time by an electromagnet (92) installed in proximity to the sensor. The electromagnet is a small coil of wire mounted near the sensor, such as a Hall effect device, which when energized, generates a test magnetic field. The analo...

The control unit 2 of an automobile includes: a ROM 2b for storing predetermined values representing normal (i.e., warmed-up) operating states of the engine, and a RAM 2c for storing cumulative values of outputs of various sensors. The cumulative values are continually compared with the predetermined values, and failure diagnosis of the engine is effected only when the cumulative values exceed the...

An apparatus and method is disclosed to resect and remove tissue. The apparatus is particularly suited for operation on the prostate for treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
