A device is described for sensing volatile materials, the device comprising: a) a plurality of sensors each comprising a pair of spaced-apart electrical contacts (12) and a semi-conductor polymer extending between the contacts, wherein the polymer is such that its electrical resistance can change when exposed to a volatile material; and b) means for measuring the electrical resistance (or a parame...

The visual testing system consists of polarisation spectacles (14) having different polarisation axes with or without quarter-wave foils of the two polarisation lenses in front of the eyes of the person being examined, and a visual testing instrument for generating light having a specific polarisation direction, or specific direction of turning or rotation of the circularly polarising light. The v...

A sealant or mastic composition comprises a dispersion of a finely divided particulate solid in a silicone resin formulation which contains a dispersant containing at least one group of the formula - ( O - A - CO )n- The dispersant may be derived from a hydroxycarboxylic acid and preferably has a -COOH end group. The dispersant modifies the shear properties of the sealant.

An apparatus for erecting folded carton blanks has a picking assembly for grasping a carton blank from a magazine. The picking assembly is disposed for rotational movement from a first position proximate the magazine to a second position proximate an abutment that engages a corner of the carton blank. A gate disposed for rotational movement is driven in a timed relation with the picking assembly. ...

The invention concerns the use of indoline derivatives of the formula (I), in which R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, R<4> and R<5>, independently of each other, may be hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups with 1 to 4 C-atoms, or R<4> and R<5> together with the oxygen atoms to which they are bound may be an alkylenedioxy group with 1 to 4 C-atoms, or salts of such indoline derivatives, as additives to hair-dyeing agen...

Pressure cooking vessel with pot and lid parts (10, 12) which can be screwed one onto the other and are to be connected to one another in the manner of a bayonet closing system, and pot and lid handles (14, 16) which can be latched to one another, with a residual pressure-locking device with a diaphragm (28) which is sealingly inserted into the pot or the lid part (10, 12), the diaphragm movement ...

The present invention is directed to the use of bandwidth efficient OCDMA in a multipath environment (10, 11-2 and 11-1). The high rate PN code greatly attenuates multipath components that are delayed enough to have significant impact on the degree of orthogonality that may be achieved. By offsetting the carriers by the RW chipping rate and using precise network timing to align all accesses to a s...
