Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for the electric welding of at least two sheets (2, 5) having a multilayer structure, called sandwich sheets, each formed by at least two metal sheets joined together by a polymer film. The method consists in bringing into contact the inner surfaces (3a, 7a) of the sandwich sheets (2, 5) over a partial overlap zone, in applying, to the opposite surfaces (4a, 6a) of the sandwich sheets, at least two wheels each formed by two parts and placed facing each other in line with the overlap zone, in supplying electric power to at least a second part of each wheel (9, 10), in exerting, by means of the wheels (9, 10), a clamping force on the overlap zone of the sandwich sheets (2, 5) in order to bring the second part of each of the said wheels into contact with the inner surface of the sandwich sheet arranged opposite it and in moving the said wheels (9, 10) along the overlap zone. The subject of the invention is also a device for implementing this method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A given column line and a bit line adjacent to it are selected from a plurality of string lines (102-1 to 102-3) and bit lines (101-1 to 101-2) by the string selection signals (Y1 to Y3); and a given row line is selected from a plurality of row lines (103-1 to 103-n) by the row selection signals (X0 to Xn). The data stored in the memory cells (104-01 to 104-n4) which are connected to the selected column line and row line are read out on the selected bit line. The selected column line is made to be at a first potential level (the potential level supplied from a constant-voltage circuit (160)). Substantially at the same time, the selected bit line is made to be at a second potential level (the potential level provided by a sense amplifying circuit (150)) which is lower than the first potential. The column lines which are not selected are made to be at a third potential level (the ground potential level or the potential level provided by a potential supply circuit (190)) which is lower than the second potential level. Then, the data are read out. Therefore, it is possible to read the data at a high speed, and further, to materialize a low power consumption because no reactive current flows.

Abstract: The receiver has one or more photodiodes (D1...) whose signal is amplified and passed onto a conditioning part (2). The conditioning part is based on a commercially available remote-control IC (U1) which can condition a remote-control signal. Remote-control ICs, however, are not constructed for being controlled by an electric signal. Their input is rather designed for being connected directly to a photodiode. By connecting an equivalent load (dummy load) (D1') to the input of the remote-control IC it is possible, however, to inject (couple in) any electrical signal. In this way, the detector signal can at first be filtered and amplified, resulting in a substantially increased sensitivity of the receiver. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A composition incorporating a chlorine dioxide generating compound such as sodium chlorite into a polymer or oligomer film is coatable onto various substrates. Controlled release is accomplished by absorption of moisture from the environment. The chlorine dioxide so released acts as a biocide and a fumigant. To form the composition, the chlorite is dissolved into a hydrogen bonded phase containing a monomeric or polymeric amide or a monomeric or polymeric alcohol. This hydrogen bonded phase is then mixed with an incompatible apolar phase consisting of anhydride such as a polymer such as a maleic anhydride copolymer with olefin, or a grafted maleic anhydride-polypropylene polymer. Chlorine dioxide is released by direct reaction of the anhydride or hydrolzed anhydride with the chlorite anion across the phase boundary. Increasing the molecular weight of the phases, increasing the phase incompatibility and decreasing the concentration of anhydride will all decrease the chlorine dioxide release rate.

Abstract: A molded cured product obtained from a kneaded material using hydraulic powdery material, latent hydraulic fine powder, compounding water and if necessary, fine aggregate is hot aged under a specific condition so that silicic acid anion of at least a trimer is formed in calcium silicate hydrate formed in the texture of this molded cured product. This molded cured product has a compressive strength of at least 1,000 kgf/cm<2> and a bending strength of at least 150 kgf/cm<2>, and can suitably improve strength characteristics, particularly the bending strength as characterising drawback of cement type products, without using a specific reinforcing material and a compounding material such as a fiber, or even when these reinforcing material and compounding material are used, by drastically reducing their quantities. Accordingly, the present invention can advantageously provide a unique and novel cement type product. Incidentally, beautiful mortar or concrete products by glost firing, which has not been able to be practised due to unavoidable drop of strength characteristics, can be produced and provided as products having desirable bending strength, compressive strength and elastic modulus. <MATH>

Abstract: The locking system includes a blocking and electronic releasing device by means of different codes for each one of the keys, it also being possible to modify the memory of the control circuit by means of an operating key to refuse access to a lost key, also allowing access to other new copies of the key. This electronic blocking is done by means of an independent pin of the locking pistons of the mechanical part of the cylinder, the latter being inside as well as outside the same. The key (4) communicates to the cylinder (1) its code by means of an electric contact (9) through which the energy required for its operation will be supplied to it. The transmission of data of the key to the cylinder is done by the electric contact itself (9). A rotary-type electric motor (10) acts on a blocking pin (6) by means of an eccentric (11) and connecting rod (12.) The control circuit of the cylinder (1) has a memory in which the codes of the keys (4) that have access to the lock appear. The control circuit will launch its reading process of the code of the key to allow or refuse retraction of the blocking pin (6.) <IMAGE>
