Abstract: Strap tensioning devices of the kind with a spring-loaded clamping element which in its effective state presses a strap running through the tensioning device against a holding bar, with a friction effect, frequently consist of a plurality of parts which means that such strap tensioning devices are complicated to manufacture, and are therefore expensive. The object of the invention has been to provide an effectively-acting strap tensioning device consisting of a minimum number of parts. The tensioning device according to the invention is made from a plate of sprung material with cut-outs positioned so that both the holding bar (5, 11; 25, 31; 51) and the clamping element and their mutual connecting parts are formed in one continuous piece from the plate which also forms the framework of the tensioning device, and wherein moreover the clamping element is pressed up out of the plane of the frame so that when a pinching effect is applied it can be made to release the strap against the said spring effect.

Abstract: 57 A device for countering the deposition of hard water scale comprises a cathode and an anode defining a passage for water passing through the device and connected in an electrical circuit including the water as an electrolyte. The anode is a sacrificial anode which releases salt particles and ions into the water during operation of the device. At least a substantial proportion of such particles and ions are non-adherent to the anode, and thereby form sites for crystal formation in the water and reduce deposition of scale. An external electrical potential may be applied across the circuit to cause an externally generated currant to pass through the device. Means may be provided for generating a magnetic field downstream of the anode and cathode.

Abstract: A method of preparing a multiplicity of controlled, long-acting release pharmaceutical tablets, each containing a therapeutic agent and a cellulosic ether carrier base material is shown. The method includes the steps of adding a quantity of cellulose ether base material such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and an active therapeutic agent to form a mixture, thoroughly and uniformly mixing that mixture, discontinuing the mixing, permitting the uniform mixture to stand for a period of time, typically two to twenty-four hours or longer, sufficient to cause the therapeutic agent to become bonded to the carrier base material and compressing portions of the mixture to form the solid unit dose tablets. The advantage of the method is that the time release of each tablet from a given batch of formulation and the time release characteristics of tablets prepared in different batches, will be substantially more uniform and comparable.

Abstract: A computerized translation method with universal application to all natural languages is provided. With this method, parameters are changed only when source or target languages are changed. The computerized method can be regarded as a self-contained system, having been developed to accept input texts in the source language, and look up individual (or sequences of) textwords in various dictionaries. On the basis of the dictionary information, sequences of operations are carried out which gradually generate the multiplicity of computer codes needed to express all the syntactic and semantic functions of the words in the sentence. On the basis of all the codes and target meanings in the dictionary, plus synthesis codes of such meanings, translation is carried out automatically. Procedures which generate and easily update main dictionaries, idiom dictionaries, high frequency dictionaries and compound dictionaries are integral parts of the system.

Abstract: An installation for the surface treatment of workpieces has a housing with a treatment chamber. The workpieces are conveyed through the chamber by an apparatus which continuously advances the workpieces while simultaneously tumbling the same. The apparatus includes an elongated, generally horizontal cage-like receptacle which extends through the chamber and a motor for rotating the receptacle on its longitudinal axis to thereby tumble the workpieces. The receptacle has an end wall to either side of the chamber and the end walls are joined to one another by a tubular shell made up of a series of elongated components such as rods or wires. The elongated components, which are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle, are circumferentially spaced so that a medium for the surface treatment of workpieces being tumbled in the shell can penetrate the latter. The end walls of the receptacle can be pivoted so that the normals to the end walls make an acute angle with the longitudinal axis of the receptacle and this results in lengthwise movement of the elongated components as the receptacle rotates. Such lengthwise movement causes the workpieces to advance through the treatment chamber as the workpieces are tumbled. The elongated components are connected to one another, at least in the portion of the shell which is located in the chamber, in order to strengthen the shell and to allow the latter to confine flat workpieces.
