An automatic braking control system is capable of automatically maintaining a braking force once a vehicle has been stopped by the driver. The braking force is maintained until the clutch of the vehicle is engaged, at which time the force is automatically released so that the vehicle can be restarted. This system is especially useful for restarting a vehicle which has been stopped on an upward slo...

The invention describes an energy extractor for extracting energy from waves in the sea. A ring spine is disclosed and on the spine, spaced circumferentially thereof are flexible membranes which flex back and forth under the influence of the waves. The back and forth flexing deflects air back and forth and the air movement is used to drive air turbines and electrical generators. Arranging for the ...

This invention relates to a fluorescent mono, di- or polyamide of an aminodicarboxylic acid and a tetrapyrrole containing at least three carboxy groups of the structure: wherein Z is the amino acid residue and X is the tetrapyrrole residue and "n" is an integer from 1 to 4 inclusive.

A disc shaped bearer (1) is fitted with a ring of crusher segments (2). These crushers are held in place by inwardly gripping cams (4) on the crushers and tracks (5, 7) on the bearer. The crushers (2) are designed to be inserted in the track (5) from the inside, one at a time. In order to be able to insert the last crusher segment, the last track (7) is made wider than the cam (4). At least one...
