This safety-binding assembly for fastening a boot (4) to a ski (1) comprises at least one front binding or stop (2) and a rear binding (3). The front stop (2) includes a sensor for sensing the longitudinal force (F2) exerted by the boot (4) on this stop (2). This sensing operation acts on the locking mechanism of this stop (2) by reducing the resistance thereof to lateral release in order to compe...

A method for generating prime powder from a material having a high melting point and apparatus for generating the powder is taught. The apparatus includes a melt delivery tube. The melt of the high melting material is introduced into the tube and exits from the tube into an atomization zone. Gas is delivered to the zone at high pressure as a stream to atomize the melt. Pursuant to the present inve...
