To produce pattern cards, with tip-on samples of fabrics or film materials and the like, a double-sided adhesive strip with a protective film on both sides is placed on a perforated plate which is air permeable and transparent to light. An underpressure is developed under the perforated plate, and the suction holds the adhesive strip in place, and is bonded by the adhesive according to the sc...

Process for reducing discharge of exhaust gas from waste landfills with simultaneous hardening of the waste material comprises injecting a thin liquid binder-contg. pulp into the material. The pulp contains: (a) 5-50 wt.% of a latent hydraulic binder (mixture) contg. power station ash, slag, diatomaceous earth, fluidised bed ash, residues from slurry clarification, waste incineration ash, waste f...

In a chip card, the same plastic material is used for a chip support card and the dielectric layer on which the chip is located. An independent claim is also included for a semiconductor module which has a dielectric support layer with an integrated semiconductor circuit located on one face and an electrically conductive layer located on and electrically connected to the opposite face, the dielec...

the headlamp (1) has light source (2) and a reflector (3) which focusses the beam onto the lens arrangement (4), which deflects the light beam in an illumination direction out of the headlamp. Light input coupling devices (6) are arranged about the region between the reflector and the lens arrangement to couple the light beams which are not focussed onto the lens arrangement into a light conductor...

The map data distribution system uses a base station (20) communicating with a vehicle on-board navigation device (1) via a radio link, for provision of detailed map data in response to a request received from the electronic control unit (3) within the on-board navigation device, initiated by the detected journey characteristics, e.g. when a deviation from the planned route is detected.

A vertically positioned U-shaped frame (11) with the control buttons (22,23) attached and to be used as support for the disabled person is fixed with its lower ends to a horizontal rectangular base (9) and supported by two side parts. The artificial leg part (2) positioned onto the base and held in by stops has a funnel (3,4) with a soft hose (7) as a lining on top into which the stump (5) can be ...

The clamp consists of a base (11) with enlarged section (43) which increases its thickness (7). The enlarged section has, seen in plan view, a part circular shape or is V-shaped with rounded tip of 'V'. A ring (3) on a rod bent into a V-shape can hinge about a pivot point (26) in the enlarged section. One side of the enlarged section (43) has a groove (36) of part circular cross-section which matc...

An electrical plug is provided for household use by which the orientation of the prongs of the plug can be quickly and easily differentiated by means of the plug's shape and/or colour scheme.

This invention provides methods and apparatus for performing microanalytic and microsynthetic analyses and procedures. Specifically, the invention provides a microsystem platform for use with a micromanipulation device to manipulate the platform by rotation, thereby utilizing the centripetal force resulting from rotation of the platform to motivate fluid movement through microchannels embedded in ...
