The battery has a hollow cylindrically designed sealing plug (1) screwed securely in a tubular opening (4) of a top lid (3) of the battery. The plug extends with its lower end until it reaches a tubular opening (7) of a lower lid (6). Each cell has ventilation openings to one of the gas collection spaces. A first ventilation opening is formed by an annular gap (11, 12) between the plug wall and th...

The invention relates to a method and device for the continuous treatment of a cellular suspension, especially whole blood, for obtaining an erythrocyte concentrate which is returned to a patient by autotransfusion. According to the invention, there are three treatment steps, namely sedimentation of the cellular suspension, addition of washing solution to the cell concentrate and renewed sedimenta...

The X-ray appts. provides a transparency signal for the patient (2) using the quotient of the output signals provided by two radiation detectors (6,7) located behind the patient in the beam path with different pre-filtering. A memory (13) holds the recording parameters for different patient thicknesses. The measured transparency signal is compared with the required transparency signal obtained fro...

Multi-purpose exercise apparatus for exercising the muscles and training, having a vertical post (1) and an upper framework (3, 4) extending rearwards from the latter, a horizontal shaft (6) rotatably mounted therein, whose front end part is designed as a plug-in shaft (61) accessible from the front of the post, a cam wheel (7) arranged on the shaft (6) in a manner proof against rotation, a carria...

The control assembly for a valve module (12) uses electromagnetic control of the valves for controlling various fluids, especially compressed air. A number of valve modules are mounted on a common battery support plate (16) with a central compressed air supply and central electrical supply. The contact terminals (30,32) for the electromagnet (28) of the control system are connected directly throug...

The binding comprises a plate mounted pivotably on a ski about an axis by means of a pivot. The plate is provided with a horizontal finger, which is engaged in a bayonet groove of the pivot, with vertical play, in order to retain the plate axially on its pivot upon bending of the ski. The plate is thus not weakened by a perforation and the pivot is better protected against the formation of ice.

A monitor circuit comprises a data storage having a dummy data stored therein, buffer circuit connected to the output of the data storage, coincidence circuit for compairing the data on the I/O bus connected between the buffer circuit and I/O units with the dummy data of the data storage, and flag circuit for setting an abnormal flag responsive to the non-coincidence output from the coincidence ci...

The invention provides an apparatus for pre-processing sensor data that represent measurements of a physical parameter of a material under inspection. Sensors are employed to provide a multiplicity of data associated with a corresponding multiplicity of small areas of the material; and a multiplicity of reference data are also generated, each reference datum being associated with a particular sens...

In the invention, an apparatus having photometric part, wherein plural light receiving parts were sideways arranged with specified space, is used and both of multi-item test piece and single item test piece can be used. Multi-item test piece is fed sideways to light receiving part, and single item test piece is fed lengthways to light receiving part.

A safety ski binding, preferably for engaging the front of a ski boot. The binding includes an elastic energization mechanism for the jaw of the binding and a separate arrangement for compensating for different sole thicknesses. In a specific embodiment, the binding is formed as a monobloc and includes a deformation zone to automatically accommodate soles of different thicknesses. The binding also...

The visual paper formation control test for a moving translucent web, for use as a photographic base paper or cardboard material, has a light source (5) on one side which delivers flashes of light in illuminating time intervals (tl). The flash time (t1) is set so that, while illuminated, the length of web (1) movement is below the limit where the picture is blurred by movement. The picture is capt...
