The disclosure relates to an article, suitable to be worn unobtrusively and with comfort by a woman in the last stages of pregnancy, which is positioned to receive and retain the amniotic fluids when released. The article may conveniently be in a form similar to a sanitary napkin belt, or may be constructed into a hospital garment, for example. Although the fluid receptacle is capable of containin...

A continuously operating screw ejection centrifugal separator. The drum and the screw are driven by an epicyclic gear train. Changes in torque between the screw and the drum of the centrifuge are measured and the differential speed of the screw and drum is controlled so as to obtain substantially steady state operation of the separator. For the control, a second epicyclic gear train is associated ...

According to a method and a device for determining the orientation of a vehicle relative to a guidance loop (L) a loop signal (SL) is generated by a signal generating device. The loop signal has at least two main electrical states. The vehicle may exhibit a first and second orientation, the second orientation being opposite to the first, relative to the guidance loop (L). The loop signal (SL) is s...

A toe piece for holding a ski-boot in a safety ski binding, which toe piece is pivotable against a biasing force when excessive side forces occur. The toe piece includes a base plate and a pair of elongated, generally parallel side members, each of which is pivotally mounted at one end of the base plate. A coupling member pivotally connects the other ends of the side members to each other to form ...

An electrosurgical meniscal cutting device including an elongated probe adapted for insertion into an incision and first and second electrode supports carried by the probe. The electrode supports are movable relative to each other to vary the spacing between them. A variable length electrode extends between the electrode supports so that the length of the electrode can be varied by varying the spa...

PURPOSE:To enhance the bonding strength and the airtightness by a method wherein a conductive circuit, a wire-bonding part and a small through hole, to be used for inserting and fixing a pin, are formed at parts, on a substrate, where a semiconductor element is not mounted and a heat-conducting plate is installed inside a big through hole in the central part of the substrate while the parts exclud...

PURPOSE:To attain smooth output change by providing a loop control means bringing any of unit power amplifiers to a reference output level and setting an output level of each unit power amplifier to the same level. CONSTITUTION:A part of the output of the unit power amplifier 31 is extracted as a monitor signal by a monitor circuit 33. The monitor signal is compared with a reference signal sent fr...

A method of bonding a bioglass layer to a metal substrate comprising heating the metal substrate having a roughened, oxidized surface to about a temperature at which the expansion of the metal is substantially equal to that of the bioglass at the temperature above which the thermal expansion of the bioglass is non-linear, immersing the heated metal surface in molten bioglass, the time of immersion...
