Title: Appareil pour effectuer un test d'acuité auditive
IPC: A61B8/00
Filed: 1979-02-09
Granted: 1981-07-08
Abstract: Un test d'acuite auditive et un appareil pour effectuer un tel test sont fondes sur la constatation un fait que l'arrivee du son sur l'oreille donne lieu a une onde de retour qui depend des conditions dans lesquelles se trouve l'oreille interne, cette onde pouvant etre detectee comme un echo emis par le tympan. L'appareil comprend de preference une sonde (1) obturant le conduit auditif et renfermant des transducteurs (2, 3) pour projeter un son de courte duree et repetitif a l'aide d'un generateur d'impulsions (4) et pour capter a des fins de detection (5) les echos successifs par signaux de deblocage en fonction du temps. Les valeurs moyennes des echos sont etablies pendant le traitement (6) pour affichage. L'echo se produit 5 a 20 ms environ apres le son qui lui a donne naissance et une frequence de fonctionnement maximum d'environ 50 Hz convient. On peut utiliser une emission sonore continue, avec les interferences qui en resultent avec l'echo, qui sont detectables comme changements rapides d'impedance acoustique avec la frequence d'emission sonore. Une autre variante consiste a detecter les mouvements du tympan par le biais des ondes reflechies.

Granted: 1985-05-08
Abstract: In a metal container having at least one seam by which two overlapping metal edges are joined together, at least one of the edges (58) has a resilient polymeric layer (56) bonded firmly to the metal, so that when that edge (58) is seamed to a second edge (60) the polymeric layer deforms without destroying the bond, and becomes bonded to the second edge, so creating a seal against leakage. A layer of latex no greater than 0.10 mm thick may optionally be included. Seams to which the invention is applicable include swaged seams, interlocked double seams or longitudinal side seams. In the latter case the polymeric layer may provide the bond to secure a single lap seam.

Abstract: The method of mounting a radar reflector on an artillery shell contemplates providing a body constituted by a functional element and a sleeve element formed rotationally-symmetrical about a lengthwise axis of said body with at least one explosive device arranged at least at the neighborhood of an outer surface of said sleeve element near to one end of said sleeve element and remote from the functional element. The body is mounted on the artillery shell and the explosive device is detonated in order to establish a form-locking connection of the sleeve element with the shell. The detonation of the explosive device severs the sleeve element at the region of said one end of said sleeve element in order to provide a substantially straight-lined closure of the sleeve element about the artillery shell in order to avoid undesirably altering ballistic characteristics of the artillery shell.

Abstract: A portable electric drill has a printed circuit board assembly (40) mounted in a motor compartment (2) and attached to a stator lamination stack (38). A motor reversing switch (50) is mounted on the printed circuit board assembly (40) and has an operating pin (52) which cooperates with an actuating lever (12) that is mechanically interrelated to a trigger-switch (8) for energizing the drill. The trigger-switch remains inoperative until the actuating lever (12) is positioned to allow the motor (6) to be energized to drivingly rotate in either one or other rotational direction. The printed circuit board assembly (40) also has mounted thereon brush holders (44), noise suppression elements (122, 124), brush terminals (48), and field coil terminals (114, 116, 118, and 120). The pivoted lever (12) for operating the reversing switch pin (52) may be disposed inside or outside the motor compartment (2). The arrangement of the reversing switch (50) as a discrete integral component of the printed-circuit board assembly (40) reduces the required wiring between the handle and motor compartment and simplifies overall assembly of the tool.

IPC: G01B3/00
Filed: 1983-03-01
Granted: 1986-01-02
Abstract: An improvement is disclosed for an encapsulated measuring device used for measuring the relative position of two objects. The improvement comprises a pair of sealing lips, each secured at one edge to a housing for the measuring device, and together covering an opening in the housing. The lips each define regions of greater flexibility adjacent to regions of lesser flexibility. A follower passes through the opening between the sealing lips. The sealing lips operate to maintain a seal for the opening while permitting the follower to pass between them. The lips are constructed such that openings adjacent to the follower are minimized or eliminated, and little frictional force is exerted on the follower if it moves in the opening along a measuring direction. The result is that accurate measurement is possible while intrusion of debris into the housing is largely prevented due to the seal.
Patent EP-0097233-B1 (EP)
IPC: H04B3/44
Filed: 1983-04-29
Granted: 1987-01-07
Abstract: For remote feed of a group of electrical users connected in series in a closed loop, a dc voltage is applied to the loop in a polarity opposite to a normal feed voltage in order to determine whether interruptions are present, even if a human body is shunting the loop at the interruption. Each of the users has a diode connected in parallel to its inputs which is polarized such that when the test voltage for creating a test current is applied, substantially only a resistance of the loop is measured exclusive of the users. A loop resistance is determined from a measurement of the test current and the loop resistance is compared to a test resistance set lower than a human body resistance. If the loop resistance is lower than the test resistance, then normal remote feed current is applied to the loop since no interruptions exist. If the loop resistance exclusive of the users is of a same magnitude or greater than the human body resistance, then shunt arms are employed in the loop comprised of resistors and diodes to lower the loop resistance during feed of test current so as to reliably detect whether an interrupt location is present.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for detecting the identifying microbial cells in a sample that may contain several differing micro-organisms. The method comprises isolating one or more portions of the sample, combining respective sample portions with one or more materials known to be inhibiting reagents for the microbial cells to be detected, introducing an electrical potential across the respective sample portions to induce an electrical charge across the surfaces of those microbial cells present, passing a beam of laser light through the sample portion for a period of time sufficient for the light to pass through the sample portion and be optically detected, measuring the birefringence effect of the sample portion, and comparing the birefringence effect with a control sample portion containing the microbial cells under investigation. The respective sample portions may be mixed with a series of different inhibiting reagents for the microbial cells under investigation, to develop a profile that can accurately identify the particular cells and segregate them from other bacteria that may appear in the same sample material.
