A safety binding is provided which is mounted on a ski and serves to retain a ski boot. The safety binding has a cheek which, with the aid of an elastic device, is retained in a predetermined position bearing against a bearing part directly or with the aid of an adapter, specifically at three points in the position of rest, that is to say an upper middle and two lower bearing points arranged symme...

A self-monitor system for a microprocessor has one or more specific terminals of an IC package. Predetermined dummy loads are applied to each of the specific terminals in response to the onset of power supply, i.e., during cold start. A self-monitor program is provided among the elements of the microprocessor. The self-monitor program is executed during cold start of the microprocessor to check th...

A high-frequency surgical cutting instrument has a high-frequency oscillator (14) whose output signal is applied via a control stage (16) and a driver (15) to a high-frequency generator (23), it being possible to switch the oscillator (14) on and off by means of a switching arrangement (11, 12) actuated by the operator. The control stage (16) can be bridged for a short time after each switching-on...

The safety ski binding has a plate that can be pivoted about a vertical axis and a first and second retaining device to retain the front and rear part of the boot. The first retaining device is mounted on the ski and has a pivotable jaw.
