Abstract: The illustration shows an upper part for the drainage fitting of a shower bath, consisting of a cylindrical baffle (41) having moulded-on radial webs (42) by which the upper part is supported in a pot (not shown) into which it is inserted. The upper part is covered by a cover (43). The latter is kept at a distance from the pot by means of the webs (42), so that the water can run under the cover into the pot. Whereas baffle (41) and webs (42) are composed of a hard plastic for the sake of stability, the cover (43) is composed of a soft plastic to avoid injury to people slipping in the shower bath. The cover (43) is stabilised by a surmounted moulded-in metal plate (44) which does not reach as far as the edge of the cover. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Tunable high-frequency antenna which has, over its length dimension, a number of built-in switches by means of which antenna sections are defined and frequency tuning takes place through antenna length tuning by disconnecting and connecting said antenna sections. The antenna comprises a pair of parallel wire conductors, incorporated in series with the switches, which form a dipole antennas and which are used both for the high-frequency antenna current conduction and for feeding the switches. The antenna is provided at its central feed point with a control circuit for the frequency tuning. Each switch is formed by a bistable relay with an associated drive circuit which no longer requires power after switching, the disconnected antenna sections with the switches associated thereto being electrically isolated from the remaining part of the antenna after completion of the length matching. The control circuit is so designed that, in each frequency interval corresponding to a particular antenna length, an impedance matching at a freely selectable number of tuning frequencies is achieved with the aid of a circuit containing reactances. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a superconducting device used to measure temporally and spatially varying magnetic fields generated by sources inside the object to be investigated. The invention consists of a body divided into separate and easily interchangeable self-supporting modules, interconnected by connectors. The superconducting magnetometer or gradiometer elements (12) have been attached by means of connectors (11) to the cross-connection/support element (6); this element (6) is attached to a connecting element (4) by means of connectors as well. The connecting element (4) contains also the electric components (5) necessary for connecting the SQUIDs to the room temperature electronics (14). The connecting element (4) is attached to the neck plug (3), comprising a stiff thermal isolation preventing convection and a ribbon cable made of parallel twisted pairs. The element (3) is self-supporting and it forms an integral part of the magnetometer support structure. The cables in the neck plug have been made out of wires having a relatively high resistance in order to minimize the heat leak between the room temperature and the cryogenic environment of the magnetometers; the excess noise caused by the resistive leads has been compensated, for example by increasing the SQUID gain using positive feedback. <IMAGE>
