The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for the automatic control of a guided vehicle (2) and proposes a new safety concept which, if breakdowns and/or emergencies arise, prevents the vehicle from being stopped in tunnels, on bridges or on pathless terrain. The invention lies in that between preselected stopping regions (11, 12, 13) provided with system for evaluation of passengers and fo...

The safety ski binding has a releasable front jaw (11), which engages at one end of the ski boot (15), and a heel jaw (12) engaging at the other end of the ski boot (15), whose housing (16) is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable in longitudinal guides (13), which are fixed to the ski, at least with vertical clearance and is pressed against the ski boot (15) by at least one pressure spr...

A method and apparatus for measuring relative heading changes in a vehicular onboard navigation system is provided comprising apparatus for providing signals corresponding to differential wheel distance measurements, the velocity and wheel tracking distance of the vehicle. When front wheel distance measurements are used in a vehicle having a Ackerman-type steering system, an apparatus for providin...

O.Z. 0050/42810 The invention relates to expandable styrene polymers containing a) a styrene polymer, b) and at least one carbon dioxide absorber, mixed or copolymerized with the above, in an amount of from 0.01 to 50% by weight, based on the sum of a) and b), and c) a blowing agent or blowing agent mixture in an amount of from 0.5 to 12% by weight, where the blowing agent or blowing agent mixture...

Tags comprising resonant circuits are activated and deactivated by means of short-circuiting a cut current path line or by provoking a short-circuit between two capacitor plates, respectively, in as much as the dielectric material in special regions has a smaller thickness than outside these regions. The energy for provoking the short-circuiting is generated by discharge of a high tension pulse.

A method and means for stirring and treating liquids such as pure water and polluted water, particularly sewage, with air, the treatment and stirring being performed with a compressor immersed in the liquid bath, said compressor consisting of a rotating cylinder (6) with blades, located in and beneath a hood (5) which constitutes a pocket for the air utilized for the treatment. Fresh air is suppli...

Neuraminic acid derivs. of formula (I) and (Ia) and their salts are new. A = O, S or C in (I) and N or C in (Ia). R1 = COOH, P(O)(OH)2, NO2, SOOH, SO3H, tetrazol, CH2CHO, CHO or CH(CHO)2. R2 = H, OR6, F, Cl, Br, CN, NHR6, SR6 or CH2X. X = NHR6, halo or OR6. R6 = H, 1-4C acyl, linear or cyclic 1-6C alkyl (or a halo substd. analogue), allyl or aryl (opt. substd. by halo, OH, NO2, NH2 or COOH. R3, R3...

An article is provided consisting of an epoxy base coat and a urethane top coat which is useful in pavement marking applications. The epoxy composition is a two-part, 100 percent volatile free system containing one or more hardeners which are reacted with an epoxy component such as the glycidyl ether of bisphenol-A. The urethane composition is also a two-part, 100 percent volatile free system cont...

Thickness of sidewall of cup (17) drawn from laminate of polyester film and sheet Al or Al alloy is reduced using wall ironing ring (8,11,14) through which a punch (1) is passed, the ring having a frustoconical entry surface (24) converging at 1-4 deg.C to a central axis perpendicular to the plane of the ringlnad terminating at a land (25) of short length. A divergent exit surface (26) extends fro...

2100067 9309732 PCTABS00022 The invention includes an intraocular lens having lens element (10), haptics (11, 11') and two dissimilar metals or salt compounds thereof, each on a respective side of the lens in any of several forms such as metallic rings (14, 15) platings (A, B) or coatings (24, 25). The electrolytic action provided by the presence of these dissimilar metals in the eye impedes the s...
