A household slicing machine wherein a disc-shaped knife is rotatable in a vertical plane in response to starting of an electric motor as a result of depression of a trip which is mounted in the housing of the slicing machine. The trip can be depressed only when a detachable guard for the knife is held in an intermediate position in which the guard and an abutment for the foodstuff to be sliced def...

A bobbin tube support in the form of a framework fitting inside the tube and a resilient clamping element engaging the external surface of the tube.

A device for pocketing plates for accumulators in separators has a supply coil (1) from which a separator strip (6) is drawn and conveyed in a vertically running channel (10) to an end stop (20). In the channel (10) there is provided a slot through which a folding plate (40) (on which a plate is placed by a plate layer (24)) can be pushed, folding and pushing out the piece of separator strip. The ...

A plate (1) mountable on the base of a bin-type container (2) and advantageously profiled with transverse projections (3,4,5,6) to provide the first layer of bobbins with stability against rolling, and also ensure that the subsequent filling takes place in accordance with precise storage configurations in order to obtain a considerable storage density. The profiling of the removable plate (1) is u...

The invention relates to a method for thin needle biopsy in connection with mammography, wherein a stationary target is radiographed from two angles by means of a rotating picture head, the pictures are placed on a separate measurement table, and the x-, y-, and z-coordinates of the desired site in the target are calculated on the basis of the two pictures in a known manner. In the method, measuri...

Dual flexible plastic pouches and a method of making the pouches where the pouches are reuseable and reclosable and have a double fastener strip arranged along the center between the pouches, the double strip is formed with a lower layer and upper pull flanges folded in from the edge of the lower layer with the pull flanges having reclosable rib and groove elements between the flanges and lower la...

In accordance with a laser-optical navigation method a rotationally pulsed beam of light (8) in the form of a vertical disc is emitted from a sensor unit (6, 10, 11). Light reflected from reflectors (9) is registered by the sensor unit (6, 10, 11) and is computer processed for position determination purposes. In a device designed to perform the method the sensor unit (6, 10, 11) comprises means (6...

A product and process for imparting decorative appliques to the sidewalls of tires during the curing operation are presented. Rubber-based appliques are precured and maintained upon a substrate for application to the sidewall of the tire during the curing operation for the tire. The precure provides integrity and definition to the applique while the curing operation allows for complete and total b...

To produce sintered rings with thin walls, the material is pressed in a thin layer into a mould round a core. The core is removed from the ring by shrinkage or melting. The core material has a greater coefft. of expansion than the sintered ring, to shrink on cooling for removal, or the core is a ring which is expanded mechanically on insertion into the form so that it contracts for removal. ADVANT...

The safety ski-binding has a sole plate attached to the ski and slewing parallel to its top surface. At the rear end of the plate is a spring-loaded holder (10) securing it in the middle position and allowing sideways deflection when a predetermined torque is exceeded. - The holder has a lever (17) swinging out of the engaged position in opposition to the spring, and which when engaged is alongsid...

A method of detecting bodies in the path of a motor vehicle involes the continuous illumination of the road in the direction of travel, acquiring images of the forward field with a CCD-camera and evaluating them with software. The field is illuminated by two differently coloured sources mounted apart on the left and right of the vehicle. When the reflected light from one source is intercepted by a...

In a method for detecting malfunction in microcomputer system, in which a given job is processed in a multiple task processing manner, it is discriminated whether or not each of tasks was executed normally after the each execution thereof, and each count of counters provided for all of the tasks except for a prescribed task is changed in response to result of the discrimination. Each count of all ...

A system for information transmission among plural stations, in which each station can transmit image signals not only to a printer as its own station but to another station for printing, and in which the transfer of communicating right among the stations is achieved in a smooth manner for realizing uniform distribution of the right to communicate among all stations.

A laser endoscope includes a micro-thin optic cable assembly which may be inserted into a body cavity by micro-surgical or non-surgical procedures. A coherent jacketed fiber optical bundle is provided in the center of the assembly having a diameter of no more than 3.5 mm. with an optical lens system at the distal end for reflecting an image of a portion of the interior of the cavity. A pair of sin...

The present invention is directed to the use of a mixture of specific chlorofluorocarbons and methyl formate or specific hydrocarbons in the production of rigid, closed cell foams.

The condition of hair or other keratin fibers can be evaluated by measuring the force required to obtain a first value of elongation of the fiber in the yield region of the force-elongation curve, and the force required to obtain a second value of elongation of the fiber in the yield region. The ratio of these two measured forces is then determined as a damage index for the fiber. It is found that...

A buoyant article which can be used for floatation and/or insulation comprising a fibrous structure of a multiplicity of resilient, shape reforming, elongatable, nonlinear carbonaceous fibers and a coating for said carbonaceous fibers comprising a water insoluble, hydrophobic, cured or set material.
