In a laptop computer normally equipped with a removable flat panel display (2) and having the option of being equipped with an external display (3), the removal of the flat panel display (2) is detected when it is removed, thereby disabling the supply of power, control signals and data to the display (2). The supply of power, control signals and data to the display (2) is not started unless the re...

A dynamic RAM comprises a semiconductor substrate, first and second MOS transistor formed on said semiconductor substrate, each having a source, a drain, and a gate, a first insulation film formed on said first and second MOS transistors, a first electrode formed on said first insulation film, for accumulating an electrical charge, the first electrode extending through a first hole made in the fir...

A process for the production of acrylic acid by the two-stage catalytic vapour-phase oxidation of propylene with molecular oxygen, the first stage for oxidising propylene to produce mainly acrolein and the second stage for oxidising acrolein to produce mainly acrylic acid. The process comprises supplying to the first-stage reaction a raw gas containing a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having 1 to...

A magnetic tape transfer apparatus in which magnetic surfaces of master and copy tapes (M, C) are placed in direct contact, and information magnetically recorded on the master tape (M) is transferred to the copy tape (C), comprises first and second restricting members (1, 3) located within a travelling path of the master tape (M) with a predetermined distance therebetween for guiding the master ta...

The invention relates to a rotating transport apparatus for transporting objects from a first conveyor to a second conveyor, each conveyor having a longitudinal extending central axis. The apparatus includes a swivel arm with an axis, and a rotary plate rotatably mounted on the swivel arm axis, extending at least partially to the first and second conveyors. A drive is provided for rotating the rot...

Semiconductor die, pref. single crystalline Si, has a surface orientation of (100) and 4 side planes consisting of (110) planes. The edges of the die are inside (111) planes. The die contains trenches which have a rectangular cross section with 4 (100) planes as walls and a (100) plane as bottom. This makes the angle between the trench edges and a (110) die-edge plane 45 degrees. The trench has an...

A scraper/conveyor device for use in machines for picking fruits such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts and olives off the ground. It consists of a rotating brush-like device with a vertical axis and with scraper elements 1 supported on radial arms 5 which pivot vertically in order to make it easier for them to stay in contact with the ground, even if the latter is uneven; it comprises a rotary sha...

A timed device with flame control suitable for household gas furnaces. Consists of a combination of an electric valve of the normally closed type 7, a flame detector 2, a spark ignition group 3 and a control device with timer 5, by means of which the flame is kept ignited and controlled for a programmed time period.

This rear support for an ice cream whipping screw has the special features that it comprises a drive shaft provided with a hole which may have a polygonal-shaped head for the centering and rotary drive of a conjugate branch of a shaft incorporated in a spoked base of a screw, the conjunction driven in this way moving within a spacing sleeve of plastics material located between the cylinder and the...

This ice cream whipping screw has as a special feature plate-shaped scraper blades of a material other than that forming the basal structure of the screw which are fixed to that structure by being housed in seats having a dovetail cross-section acting together with a base provided centrally with a projection having an inclined plane. This plane is designed to be forced manually or otherwise into g...

The present invention implements an electromagnetic activator that responds linearly to electrical pulses that control it but naturally follow the quadratic law. This actuator is particularly suitable for controlling distribution valves for hydraulic or pneumatic systems, since it makes the response of the distributor linearly proportional to the motion of the control lever.

The present invention relates to a gauge or instrument for precisely measuring the dimensions of mechanical parts, devised and made to carry out measurements without the material contact with the elements to be measured which occurs in other cases when laser beams are used for these measurements; the said instrument is primarily suitable for carrying out measurements of elements located at a dista...
