With a copper-colored coating with a color-producing nitride layer for fixtures, fittings or articles of everyday use, the nitride layer is a zirconium nitride layer that is powder-deposited directly onto the substrate or a primer layer covering the substrate, preferably a zirconium layer, using an argon-nitrogen mixture as intermediate layer, where a transparent oxide hard material layer, prefera...

In a process for producing a brass-colored coating for fixtures, hardware, and articles in daily use, application of an intermediate layer to the substrate or to a base coating on the substrate is made by spraying, for which purpose a magnetron source with a zirconium target is situated in the process chamber in the proximity to the substrate and a mixture of argon and nitrogen serves as process g...

A compact power supply apparatus is favorable for a reduction in size of a mobile communication terminal having a transmitter and baseband signal processor, a transmitter and a power amplifier. The power supply apparatus includes a DC/DC converter for converting a DC voltage from a battery. In a reception mode of the mobile communication terminal, the power supply apparatus regulates the DC voltag...

The present invention is directed to novel aminooxy-cyclodextrin derivatives of the formula (1): CD-(X-Y-ONH₂)_n, wherein CD is mono- or polydeoxy alpha-, beta-, or gamma-cyclodextrin, carrying in its 6-, 3- and/or 2-position a group containing the aminooxy group, and optionally carrying substituents different from (X-Y-ONH₂). Y is a linker group between the aminoox...

A dual-mode microwave/millimeter wave integrated circuit package with low cost, high operating frequency, quick cooling, and high reliability is disclosed. More particularly, the package structure of the invention supports both microstrip and coplanar waveguide operation modes, which cannot be accomplished by any prior microwave integrated circuit package structures.

A method and a device for removal of a slug separated from a hollow profile by means of a fluidic internal pressure from a hydroforming tool. The slug is separated from the hollow profile from the inside to the outside by the retraction of a plunger integrated into the hydroforming tool and clearing a slug channel when retracted, and is forced out of the die cavity of the hydroforming tool into th...

A highly bandwidth-efficient communications method is disclosed that enables remote stations to synchronize in time and frequency to their serving base station. The invention enables a base station and its remote stations in a cell to synchronize in a noisy environment where signals interfere from other base stations and remote stations in other cells. The base station forms a forward synchronizat...

Each remote station in a wireless network cell that uses a collision oriented multiple access scheme, counts the number of retries attempted to gain access to the base station for a particular message. The accumulated value of the number of retries is then inserted in a retry count field of the access request message. After one or more retries, the base station successfully receives the access req...

A lithium secondary battery includes a cathode which can be dischargeably charged with lithium ions, an anode made of lithium metal, a lithium alloy or any other anode material which can be releasably doped with lithium ions, and an electrolyte which allows migration of lithium ions between both electrodes. The cathode contains a halogen compound which releases halogen atoms, halogen ions or a rea...

An overall valuing system is situated generally between a source of water and a habitable structure; a main valve is selectively openable and closable to permit and terminate flow from such source of water to the habitable structure; a conduit is provided for supplying pressurized air to an area downstream of the main valve when the main valve is closed.

Procédé pour le maintien à basse température d'une cryoliaison supraconductrice au moyen d'un débit d'azote liquide produit par un liquéfacteur (1) alimentant l'une des extrémités du tronçon de liaison, dont le tronçon est alimenté par un liquéfacteur (1) unique et en ce que l'on procède en un point intermédiaire au moins du tronçon de transport au soutirage d'azote.; Conductors of an e.g. 2-pole ...

A device for pivotable and slidable suspension of sheets, such as window-panes for glazed verandas or balconies. The device has an upper and a lower rail, which are arranged in parallel with each other. The rails have transversely of their longitudinal direction a hollow section with a longitudinal slot on the side facing the other rail. On each of the sheets, an upper and a lower fixing element a...

The sorting device includes a feed chamber, to which waste material is added, divided by a partition wall into at least two compartments at least partly covered with a plate. A distributor with a geometry adapted to that of the cover plate is moved between different positions where it guides the added waste into one of the compartments.

The invention relates to an arrangement in an oil filter (1) for a machine with a centralised lubrication system, for example an internal combustion engine. The filter comprises a cylindrical container enclosing a filter material (2), one end (1b) of the container having a peripheral seal (1b1) arranged in an end section of the container wall (1a), and a central threaded sleeve (1b2) serving as ou...
