A canopy for protecting an individual from adverse weather when positioned in front of a grill. The inventive device includes an inclined canopy and support assemblies for securing the canopy above and in front of a grill.

The present safety ski binding is characterised in that it has a first tipping member which is mounted between a rear end part of the force-transmission member and the front parts of the two lateral holding wings or the transversely running support of these wings, and a second tipping member in the form of an angled-off lever which is articulated on the housing or the base-plate about a horizontal...

The binding has upper and lower housing parts attached to the ski and at least one release spring. To preset the distance (a) between the lower edges (5a) of the two sole holders (5) and a bearing face (3a) for the sole of the ski boot (4) being inserted an intermediate member (6) is mounted selectively on the upper part (2) or lower part (3) of the housing with at least one stop face (6a) which i...

Disclosed is a blown film or sheet material comprising a broad molecular weight distribution propylene polymer material having a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of about 4 to about 60, a melt flow rate of about 0.5 to about 50 dg/min, and xylene insolubles at 25 DEG C of greater than or equal to 94%. A mixture of the broad molecular weight distribution propylene polymer material and a heteroph...

To avoid a relatively high outlay in terms of construction and to improve accuracy in the determination of the laundry quantity, during the drum start-up phase (t0-t1) the drive torque (ML) on the drum drive motor is determined in order to operate the drum at a treatment speed (n1) at which the laundry is not held against the drum casing by centrifugal force. The invention can be used in washing m...

In a method for biological purification of waste water, especially industrial effluent, the water which has to be treated is introduced together with oxygenous gas through a nozzle device into a reaction tube located in a closed reactor tank (1), in which the liquid is circulated. In order to intensify the treatment and permit the treatment of large quantities of liquid, extra air or gas is suppli...

An anti-displacement device and method are disclosed for implantation of a prosthetic bone joint in a bone. A biode- gradable biocompatable antidisplacement device comprising a biodegradable biocompatible polymer is directed through an orifice, defined by a cup of a prosthetic bone joint, and into interfering contact with bone tissue of the bone. Displacement of the cup is thereby sufficiently lim...

Procedimento per l'applicazione di un foglio di finitura ad un substrato, particolarmente per parti di carrozzeria di ciclomotori, motociclette, autoveicoli e simili, comprendente le fasi che consistono nel:- stampare un disegno grafico su quel lato di un foglio di finitura trasparente destinato ad essere rivolto verso il substrato su cui esso verrà applicato;- applicare un adesivo in pellicola al...

A method for handling failures in an electronic price label (EPL) system (10) automatically diagnoses failures, and may additionally automatically contact a remote support system (32). The method includes the steps of wireless transmitting a status request to a communications base station (CBS) (15) and to an EPL (18) by a computer (12), receiving a status reply from the CBS (15) and the EPL (18) ...

A method of manufacturing blunt tip surgical needles (10). Taper point needles having conventional piercing tips are placed into a vessel (20) containing a grinding media (40). The needles are maintained in the vessel for a sufficient amount of time to convert the piercing point into a blunt tip. $$

A modular prosthesis system having generally planar bone contact surface with an undercut edge around the periphery of the surface and includes augmentation devices which can be attached to the planar surface with a cam locking mechanism secured to the undercut edge to increase the thickness of the prosthesis.; @

In einem elastischen Auftrittskörper (3) eines Gehstoppels (1) für einen Gehgips bei einem Knochenbruch ist eine Ausnehmung (4) vorgesehen, die bis knapp an den Auftrittsbereich heranreicht und in der einander zwei Kontaktstücke (8, 9) mit Abstand gegenüberliegen. Ein Kontaktstück (9) ist beweglich angeordnet, sodaß sich die Schaltstrecke bei Belastung des Gehstoppels infolge der Verformung des el...

A process for the chlorination of sucrose-6-esters to produce 6 min ,4,1 min -trichlorosucrose-6-esters which comprises the steps of: (a) adding at least seven molar equivalents of an acid chloride to a reaction mixture containing a sucrose-6-ester and a tertiary amide to form initially a chloroformiminium chloride salt which subsequently forms a complex with the hydroxyl goups of the sucrose-6-...

The invention relates to a connection component equipped with an electrical resistor for the welding of elements made of heat-fusing plastic. According to the invention, the resistor takes the form of a single wire coated with an electrically insulating layer and having points of intersection, the coating layer fusing at a temperature between the fusion temperature of the components to be joined t...

The pressure sensor has a housing (6) containing a measuring device separated from the housing by a radial gap. The measuring device includes a pressure transfer part (2), a measuring part and e.g. tubular springs for applying axial tension to the measuring part. The sensor also has a seal membrane which provides a sealed, rigid connected between the housing and the pressure transfer part. At leas...
