The apparatus has a support post (13) upon which a positioning collar (30) is disposed on a lower portion, with the collar having a threaded central opening and a raised plateau (31). A supporting bracket (20) with a central opening (21) is rotationally enveloped onto the raised plateau of the positioning collar and a number of spokes (40) are connected to the peripheral of the supporting bracket ...

The controller has one detector or data collecting section (1), for the environment or conditions which determine movement of the vehicle e.g. sensors, CCD camera, navigating information, radar. Data on the road curvature (2) are also used. Another detector (4) determines the opening, as the angle in degrees, of the choke flap. The calculator (5) then derives the journey control signal on the bas...

Device containing an element for detecting and collimating the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the flame of a burner, and containing an element formed by a bundle of optical fibres for transmitting and separating the radiation components having different wavelengths, which components are recorded and evaluated by separate sensors.

A blood separation system operates in a first mode to convey whole blood into the inlet region (48) of a blood processing chamber (38) for centrifugal separation into packed red blood cells, a plasma constituent, and an interface, which carries mononuclear cells, between the packed red blood cells and the plasma constituent. The system removes packed red blood cells and the plasma constituent from...

Systems and methods rotate a chamber (14), in which whole blood is centrifugally separated into an interface between the packed red blood cells and the plasma constituent. The interface carries platelets and mononuclear cells. The systems and methods include an interface control unit which is operative in a first state to enable removal of platelet-poor plasma (PPP) in a first container for use as...

The invention concerns a hair-drier or the like, combining a heat source in the form of an electric resistor with a fan generating a hot air flow for treating hair. The device comprises a series of pins (7 and 7') for electric connection via a base (3) whereon the device can be placed and an electrically rechargeable battery (9, 9') for powering a fan (15) motor (13) and a heat accumulating elemen...

An apparatus for biological tissue treatment utilizing high frequencies, which can dispense with counter electrode plates and treat biological tissues by means of discharge between a discharge electrode and the biological tissues and Joule heat generated by a current flowing locally through the biological tissues. The apparatus is provided with an electromagnetic radiation electrode (1) that radia...

A tyre has a reinforcing carcass consisting, at least in the walls, of a series of bands (4) wound circumferentially and placed so that when observing a radial section the bands have a certain overlap. The bands comprise strands laid side by side of a length less than the height of the tyre wall, embedded in an elastomeric material matrix. The overlap of the band l is dependent on: the dia. of t...

The tyre mould includes a shell (1) for the moulding of the side walls, which shell (1) comprises a laminated assembly consisting of lamelliform elements (20) oriented substantially parallel to the axis, the moulding surface for the said side wall being constituted by the juxtaposed edges (24) of the said lamelliform elements (20).

A method of controlling interlinked vehicles in mining and tunnelling operations with at least one of the vehicles having a travelling mechanism is disclosed. Distance measurements to adjacent wall surfaces which define a path of movement are taken on opposite sides of the vehicles, and on each side at least two ultrasonic sensors are arranged to be offset in the direction of movement in determini...

Polymerizable saccharide monomers are made by the reaction of a saccharose and a (meth)acrylate. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic and thermoreversible gels and foams are formed upon polymerization of the saccharide monomers. Hydrophilic sucrose monomers are synthesized by reaction of sucrose with an epoxy acrylate. Hydrophobic sucrose monomers are synthesized by reaction of sucrose with methacrylol chlori...
