Title: Unsupported, braced arch element and protecting roof with such an element
Inventor: GERIG THOMAS
IPC: E04B1/32
Filed: 1996-08-07
Abstract: An arch element (1") for protecting roofs has at least one tubular arch (2) held in the curved state by at least one brace (4). The ends of arch and brace (2, 4) are interconnected by end connectors (3). In order to keep the brace (2) out of the direct connection between both end connectors (3) and to guide it along the arch (2) at a certain distance thereof, a flat connecting part (5) is arranged between and joined to arch and brace (2, 4). By using three arches (2), two braces (4) designed as bracing booms, four fabric or plastic connecting surfaces (5) that join the braces (4) to the arches (2), and three spacers (10) that keep the outer arches (2) apart, an unsupported, dimensionally stable three-dimensional arch element (1") is obtained that may be used directly as a shade or associated to other arch elements to carry roof surfaces. By using arches (2), spacers (10) and end connectors (3) that can be plugged into each other, the arch element (1") may be dismounted.

Title: Material for osteosynthesis and composite implant material, and production processes thereof
Inventor: OKUNO MASAKI
IPC: C08L67/04
Filed: 1996-09-13
Abstract: A high bending strength and high density material for osteosynthesis, which comprises a biodegradable and bioabsorbable crystalline thermoplastic polymer material, and a high strength implant material, comprising a composite material in which a bioceramics powder of from 0.2 to 50 µm in particle size is dispersed in the polymer material, wherein crystals of the polymer material are pressure--oriented not in a uni-axial direction but basically in parallel with a plurality of reference axes; and a production method by pressure orientation, which comprises preparing in advance a biodegradable and bioabsorbable crystalline thermoplastic polymer material or a dispersed mixture of the polymer material and a bioceramics powder and melt-molding it into a pre-molded material which is then press-charged at a cold temperature into a cavity of a closed type forming mold, thereby obtaining an oriented molding. Since the osteosynthesis and implant materials are dense and high strength oriented moldings having less anisotropy in which crystals are oriented in parallel with a plurality of reference axes, excellent ideal biomaterials can be provided which have appropriate hydrolysis property, can maintain sufficient strength during a period required for bone union and are degraded and absorbed at such a rate that they do not induce inflammatory reactions after healing of the fractured bones so that re-operation is not required.

Filed: 1995-05-12
Abstract: L'invention porte sur une balle non toxique (25), constituée essentiellement de zinc, dont les surfaces circonférentielles sont lisses sur tout leur pourtour, l'arrière (26) étant de forme cylindrique et l'avant (27) de forme conique intérieurement et vers l'avant. Lorsqu'elle est employée à l'état nu, sans douille, ou bien placée dans une douille de nylon ou encore plaquée de cuivre, elle remplit bien son office en tant que projectile d'entraînement, peu onéreux et non toxique. Utilisée comme noyau auquel on associe une douille en cuivre (59), enfermant le nez (58) et le reste à l'exception de la surface du fond arrière, cette balle non toxique répond aux critères exigés en matière de balle non toxique et ne se désintégrant pas à l'impact. Utilisée comme noyau, son fond arrière étant fixé dans l'extrémité ouverte d'une douille en cuivre en forme de godet, elle remplit bien son office en tant que balle non toxique ne se désintégrant pas. Si le noyau est fabriqué avec des zones fragilisées sur l'arrière, et s'il est monté avec le même type de douille en cuivre en forme de godet, il se comporte comme un balle désintégrante améliorée.

Title: Detection of suface amomalies in elongate conductive members by pulse propagation analysis
Inventor: BURNETT GALE D
IPC: G01R31/11
Filed: 1996-03-13
Abstract: Pulse propagation analysis to ascertain whether an anomaly such as surface corrosion exists on a section of conductive member (22) such as pipe. Anomalies such as surface corrosion result in localized velocity chances of pulses propagating along a conductive member. These localized velocity changes exhibit themselves in changes in waveform, rise and fall time, amplitude and time delay of a pulse with respect to a fixed time reference. To allow such anomalies to be located, two pulses are generated (28, 30) such that they intersect at intersecting locations along the conductive member. The resulting modified pulses are analyzed (24) for perturbations indicative of localized velocity changes.

Inventor: HASELHUHN TIMOTHY H
IPC: A47B21/03
Filed: 1997-12-05
Abstract: An adjustable support assembly for a digitizer device, such as a track ball or mouse, mounts between a computer keyboard support tray and an articulating arm normally attached to the tray for supporting and adjusting the tray. The support assembly includes a right-hand support pad and a left-hand support pad that are slidable underneath the keyboard support tray in a stored position. One of the pads can be selectively exposed for use, while the other pad is stored underneath the keyboard support tray. The upper surface of the support pads are textured to enhance the tracking movement of a mouse ball. The exposed mouse pad is rotatably adjustable about an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the keyboard support tray to provide a horizontal surface for the mouse to ride on, even if the keyboard support tray is tilted away from horizontal. The support pads additionally include a slot extending inwardly from an outer edge thereof. The slot has opposing inner faces and a cord of resilient material with a high coefficient of friction material projecting from the faces toward each other to create a gap. The gap resiliently and frictionally holds a data cord associated with the digitizer device. The yieldable nature of the resilient material prevents damage to the data cord while securely retaining the data cord in the slot.
