A ski binding system is adaptable to both alpine and cross-country/telemark skiing modes. A base plate is pivotably connected about a transverse axis to the boot by an upwardly extendable transduction hinge, at or just to the rear of the ball of a skier's foot, to provide torsional stability with either rigid or flexible-toed boots. The boot heel and point of connection may be freely raised from t...

A brake system intended for automotive vehicles provided with a brake pressure transmitter (1) which is linked to the wheel brakes through pressure medium lines, and with sensors (19 to 22, 24) which are responsive to the brake pressure or to the behavior of rotation of the wheels and by means of which the braking effect at the wheels brakes is detectable. Furthermore, separating valves (SO1, SO2,...

The invention provides an improved surgical snare having an operating cable freely rotatable while the handle is maintained steady, having a rotating assembly mounted in the handle so that the axis of rotation of the assembly is essentially coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the handle and having a quick disconnect-connect means for attaching the operating cable to the rotating assembly without...

A method and apparatus for automatically removing an annular grooved tread from an initially closed segmented mold is described. The segmented mold has an annular cavity and a central core, and has both an axial direction and a radial direction.

A silicon crystal evaluation method includes the step of measuring, at room temperature, an intensity of an oxygen impurity infrared absorption peak of each of a plurality of silicon crystals at a wavenumber of 1107+/-3cm<-><1>. Each of the silicon crystals contains oxygen impurities, the silicon crystals including an evaluated silicon crystal having an unknown thermal history and reference silico...

There are provided a method of and an apparatus for guiding a self-steering or driverless vehicle along an optical guideway. The hitherto known systems, which relate to optical scanning of an optical guideway by means of a light beam and which only transmit the signals "light" and "dark" with respect to detection of the optical guideway, are liable to disturbances and result in a too coarse or non...

A single sided reflectance sensor having an optical arrangement which permits accurate measurements of select physical properties of a moving sheet. The sensor comprises a protective enclosure, positioned adjacent to a sheet surface, containing an electromagnetic radiation source disposed to project an incident beam onto the sheet surface, a reflectance sensing means for sensing the intensity of t...

A method and apparatus are disclosed for reading a test element and a reference element in an incubator to insure that a) they are both read at the same wavelength and b) the reading at this wavelength of the reference element used to compare the test element reading, is the closest in point of time to the reading taken of the test element. In some cases, this requires the comparison with a refere...

A radiation hardened or fail safe circuit is coupled between a peripheral data storage device, for example a disk drive, and its associated controller. The circuit includes an AND logic gate with two inputs: a write enable signal from the controller; and a sensing input logic signal normally high, but driven low responsive to the sensing of unacceptably high levels of radiation. A delay means is i...
