CONSTITUTION:In a foot part located at the lower part of positive and negative plates constituting a plate group, a negative plate foot 3 is positioned outside a positive plate foot 2 a...

An activating magnet having two coaxial pole tube portions which are spaced from each other, have the same inner and outer diameters and are connected with each other by means of a connecting ring of solder. In order to create an activating magnet in which the pole tube portions need only be machined on the outside or inside diameter, a spacing ring of a non-magnetizable material is arranged betwe...

PURPOSE:To obtain an automatic change gear of a simple mechanism by using a system in which a normally engaging type transmission is used, an electromagnetic clutch is used as a clutch, and these are all automatically controlled. CONSTITUTION:A normally engagving type transmission 3 is shifted by an actuator 5. In a control box 7, rotation number and suction negative pressure are taken out in the ...

The appts to open out a yarn end, to prepare it for splicing after a yarn break, has a beating wheel (4) with blades (6) with straight opening edges (8) alternating with blades (6) with sawtooth opening edges (9). ADVANTAGE - The appts. gives an improved action to open out a broken yarn end, when the yarn is composed of strong fibres such as of polyester, or long fibres such as Egyptian cotton.

A continuous marine pipe laying system utilizes two rollers to overbend and straighten pipe as it is unwound from a reel. A support arm is pivotally connected to the axis of rotation of said reel and first and second roller arms are pivotally connected to the support arm at a point spaced from said axis of rotation. During use, the first roller is positioned at a point adjacent the pipe substantia...

Certain relief parts (11, 13) of a tread (1) for a radial tyre, are provided at least with incisions (41, 42, 43) having, in cross-section, outlines in the form of forks, and at least two prongs (41B, 41C) extending from a single portion (41A), the number of incisions (41) on the relief part (12, 13) being multiplied by a factor of at least 1.5 from the depth (h1) of the two-pronged incision (41)....

A transparent dressing (200) for substantially sealing a wound consisting of a semi-rigid frame (214) for defining an opening and a resilient transparent membrane (218) substantially covering the opening in order to form a transparent window. The transparent material (218) allows air and vapor to permeate the material in a first direction and prevent contaminants and fluids from entering the wound...

The invention concerns a toilet seat with a protective overlay, in which at least the seating surface of the toilet seat is covered by the protective overlay, the protective overlays being stored in a compartment above the level of the toilet bowl. Operation of the toilet is fully automatic, the seat being covered automatically with the protective overlay and swung down automatically from the rais...

A fiber guide includes a sleeve having a longitudinal slot therealong a first member, having a notch, is fixed in the sleeve with the notch substantially aligned with the slot. A second member, also having a notch, is rotatably disposed in the sleeve. Thus, a fiber can be positioned in the notches of the first and second members and secured therein by rotating the second member. The fiber can also...

A multipolar electrode catheter includes a central and four side electrodes at its distal end. The catheter is actuable from a retracted or collapsed mode wherein the side electrodes are arranged around the tubular catheter outer surface to an expanded mode. A plurality of longitudinal slits in the catheter wall enable radial expansion of the distal end so that the side electrodes are moved to an ...

A dental laser assembly is disclosed for use in eradicating carious lesions in teeth, the treatment of sensitive teeth, as well as the removal of soft tissue. The laser assembly includes a housing having a cavity in which a pulsed laser is contained. The laser is excited so that the laser emits a laser beam along a predetermined axis that is in line with a fiber optic delivery system and at a puls...

A foam laminate comprising a polyurethane foam core sandwiched between two facing material, wherein said foam core has: a flamespread as determined by ASTM E-84 of 25 or less, a smoke density as determined by ASTM E-84 of less than 450, a dimensional stability measured as a % volume change as determined by ASTM D-2126,after 28 days (1) at -30 DEG C of no more than 1, (2) at 100 DEG C of no more th...

Error rates above a given threshold are detected by initiating a counter to count a group of n bits on each occurrence of an error bit. The counters are inspected on each occurrence of an error to see whether the counter initiated x error bits earlier is still counting. If the counter is still counting the error rate is above a threshold of x error bits in a group of n bits in a serial stream.

Fuel briquets containing binding agents and additives are obtained by briquetting of approximately 80 to 99% by weight of an essentially solid fuel, approximately 0.1 to 19% by weight of a natural or synthetic binding agent and approximately 0.1 to 10% by weight, calculated on a dry basis, of a cationic resin obtained by reacting polyamines with halohydrin.
