A telephone has a card reader with a slot (2) into which a credit card (1) for operating the telephone can be inserted. The slot has a "lead-in" pocket (8) of roughly hemispherical shape to facilitate card insertion. The slot (2) can be closed by a slide (3) with a stud or knob (14) for manual operation, but once the card has been put in for a call the slide is locked by a stud (18) controlled by ...

Polyurethane foam is modified by a post-treatment process comprising the steps of contacting the polyurethane foam with a swelling agent for the polyurethane foam and interpenetrating the swollen foam with a chemical additive, then shrinking the interpenetrated foam by removing the swelling agent under conditions where the chemical additive remains trapped in the polymeric structure of the foam.

Steering control means for automatic steering correction in an agricultural machine, especially a harvester for maize or like crops, comprises a change-over switch (7) in an electrical circuit between a regulator (12) and a measurement value transmitter (4) or a feedback transmitter (15), the signal voltages of the two transmitters being summated in the regulator. The switch (7) includes at least ...

An electromechanically reciprocable load has a driving spring tending to displace it from a retracted position into a working position upon the release of a locking brake. The spring force is opposed by the countervailing force of an electric motor which, during the working stroke, is progressively reduced in keeping with the diminishing force of the relaxing spring. When the load includes a calip...

A process is provided for making a solution of cellulose in an amine oxide. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a solid precursor of a solution of cellulose in a tertiary amine oxide in the form of a chip or the like which has been prepared by suspending cellulose in a mixture containing a tertiary amine oxide and water is heated in the barrel of an extruder to dissolve the cellulose, ...

A fluidized bed furnace for consuming a liquid fuel in which there is a fluidization zone of increasing cross-sectional area adjacent to and downstream of the liquid fuel injection nozzles. This arrangement allows better dispersion of the oil and bed material giving more efficient combustion.

PURPOSE:To provide fine particles capable of being imparted with various functions in high efficiency after pulverization, by curing epoxy-type fine particles with an amine hardener, and adsorbing a compound having an anionic group to the particle by ionic force. CONSTITUTION:A compound having an anionic group (one or more compounds selected from sulfonic group, carboxyl group, organic acid OH gro...

The invention relates to a process for accelerating hardening of cement in fibre-reinforced and cement-bond plates and solids respectively. The essence of the process lies in that a composition known in itself containing water, fibrous material and cement is placed between the pressure plates of a press, compressed, simultaneously with pressing a flange of increased density is formed on the profil...

PURPOSE:To enable a seated person to open and close easily and smoothly without losing his/her seating posture by securing such a constitution where the side support is opened and closed by means of a motor-driven mechanism with operation of an open/close indicating switch means. CONSTITUTION:The opening amounts of side supports 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b are controlled by a control indicating switch means...

A marking device for marking a sheet mounted on a digitizer board includes a measuring coil inductively coupled to the digitizer board when the coil is operatively positioned relative to the board. A switch on the marking device is operable to cause current pulses to be applied to the conductors on the digitizer board producing magnetic flux which couples the conductors on the board to the coil. A...
