The invention provides a dispenser for dispensing atomized fluids under pressure, provided with a shut-off element operated by the pressurized fluid. The dispenser comprises a compression chamber housing a movable piston from which there projects an appendix which, when in the rest state, is urged by a spring to seal a discharge hole provided in a body closing said chamber, which communicates with...

A corner element of a puzzle game that constitutes a three-dimensional pictorial representation of a building-like structure. The corner element comprises first and second backing members bonded to a flexible lithographic film. A hinge area separates the first and second backing members, allowing to bring them in a corner configuration by folding the lithographic film at the hinge area. The film h...

An ear-piece for a telephone receiver or ear defender which includes an ear receiving enclosure having a periphery for juxtaposition to the regions of a user's head surrounding his ear which conforms to the cranial region of a user around his ear.

The system includes a first assembly with several sectors (S1-S4) positioned around a node (N). Each sector is made up of a central sector (C1-C4) with two outer transition zones (AR1,AV1) positioned at the side edge of each sector. A control station is located at the node and can detect when a unit which is being communicated with has entered the transition zone. A dynamic list is compiled of the...

The device applies an agent, eg adhesive or surface treatment agent, to one or both sides of a web of material, e.g, paper being conveyed continuously through or past a trough. The trough is provided with upper and lower tubular mouthpieces extending into the trough from its side and opening out in the trough centre. A receptacle is provided for collecting the agent dispensed from the mouthpieces....

A data transfer system in an information processing system includes a plurality of storage devices (30a-30n) and a plurality of information processing portions (70a-70n) connected to the storage device. The information processing portions (70a-70n) includes a vector instruction divided portion (102) for dividing an instruction for reading out a plurality of element data from the storage device int...

A water cooler having a container with a reservoir for storing water has a thermoelectric module operable to cool a conductor plate and form ice in the reservoir. A temperature sensor connected to the plate senses the temperature of the plate and activates a timer when the temperature is below the temperature at which water freezes. The timer operates a selected period of time to allow a block of ...
