A radio arrangement and method allows a portable (210) and a mobile (212) to uniquely communicate on a radio system having at least one remote system site (114). The portable (210) has at least one information set (such as the radio's identification information and repertory dialing information) (356 or 360), and the mobile (212) is intercoupled therewith via a connector (214). The connector is us...

A method of making a diamond coated insert includes, obtaining a substrate of durable and diamond adherent material having a substantially smooth surface on which is coated a diamond layer using any known CVD technique, and partitioning the diamond covered substrate with a laser beam into multiple inserts with desired geometries. If desired, the insert edges and corners may be thereafter machined ...

A stand is disclosed for supporting, in a central cavity (8), a substantially vertical, central column (1) for a chair or the like, comprising at least three, preferably five supporting legs (2). Each supporting leg is formed at one end like a coupling element (3), the coupling elements being so designed, that they coupled together form a central body (4), supporting said column (1). The stand is ...

A low temperature ion-beam assisted deposition process, comprising the steps of cleaning at least one substrate, subjecting the substrate to a vacuum of at least 2x10-4 Torr, heating the substrate to a temperature of at least 280.degree.C, and directing an ion beam at the substrate, wherein the ion beam comprises ion-associated gas molecules of Si or Ge, so as to grow a thin epitaxial film of Si o...

The pressure measuring guide wire comprises an elongated flexible shaft 1 with a lumen 4 extending therethrough. The lumen is surrounded by a wall 5 forming the shaft and the distal portion (6) of which is provided with slots 10 for pressure medium entry. The distal portion 6 has a thickness 8, greater than the thickness 9 of the proximal area of the shaft. A coil 13 surrounds the proximal area of...

A shredder is provided for shredding agglomerated metal scrap from a machining process. The shredder includes a rotatable shredding tool mounted on a drive shaft that is rotated using conventional power transmission devices. The axis of the shredder drive shaft is approximately in-line with the drive shaft of a feed device that delivers metal scrap to be shredded to the rotating shredding tool. Th...

In a paper sheet conveying operation for a plotter, a roller paper sheet 29 supported on a feeding roller 35 is slackened by way of rotation of the feeding roller. The suspended portion of the paper sheet is pulled up onto the platen 34 due to rotation of the drive roller 10. Then, the suspended portion of the paper sheet 29 passes through a pair of tension rollers 27 and 28 and receives weak tens...

A process for increasing the rate of plant growth. Plants are treated with one or more acids, which are condensation products of glycolic and/or L-lactic acid. These acids also increase the concentration of chlorophyll, increase the rate of new plant formation when plants are propagated by tissue culture, decrease the amount of added nutrients required for plant growth, and protect plants against ...

An elastomeric multifilament yarn whose fibrils are not bonded together is made into an elastic bulk yarn with a degree of crimping of at least 40 % and a crimp resistance of at least 50 % by friction texturing. The bulk yarn so obtained is particularly suited to the manufacture of stockings, as well as woven goods, other hosiery and knitted goods, sportswear and outerwear.

A semiconductor device for detecting radiation includes a plurality of quantum well layers, each of which has bound ground and excited states, interleaved with a plurality of superlattice barrier layers, each of which has a miniband of energy states. By selection of the thicknesses and compositions of the layers, the excited states of the quantum wells have energies that are approximately equal to...

The invention described herein pertains to an air-conditioning unit contained in a single and compact enclosure, the same unit being able to carry out the functions of a heat pump, a de-humidifier, and an air exchanger with energy recovery capability. The unit is comprised of a compressor, two heat exchangers (either one of which has to function as both condenser or evaporator), a refrigerant flow...

Organic pressure-sensitive adhesives are combined with silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives from water based emulsions.

An emulsified hair cosmetic for providing easy combing and a feeling of smoothness to hair, and for protecting hair against heat and brushing, which comprises (i), a dimethylsilicone rubber of the formula: wherein R<1> and R<2> are methyl or hydroxyl; and n is an integer of 4000 to 9000, (ii) one or more specified polyalcohols, and (iii) one or more specified nonionic surfactants, the weigh...

La prothèse selon l'invention, destinée à former la partie mâle de l'articulation du fémur, comprend une tête (1) reliée par un col (2) à une tige (3). Dans la zone de transition (4) entre la partie extra osseuse et la partie intra-osseuse de prothèse, on réalise une surface annulaire (5) en une matière poreuse réhabitable, permettant la formation naturelle d'un joint d'étanchéite fibreux entre l'...

In a cellular mobile access communications system each mobile terminal registers its location at intervals. From the registration history of each mobile, a probable group of cells within which a mobile terminal may be located is predicted. When a mobile is to be paged, the paging message is transmitted to the predicted cell group. If no response is received from the terminal, the page message is t...
