Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/01049 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 15, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 15, 1994 PCT Filed May 21, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/24195 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 9, 1993A seat for a child's swing is of the type having a plate-like substantially rigid member to bear the weight of a user sitting on the seat, and resilient polymeric material secured to the plate-like member. The resilient polymeric material extends beyond the outline of the plate-like member to form a border around the edges of the plate-like member, and forms a peripheral dependent skirt of substantial thickness. To achieve greater safety in use, the border includes a hinge-like portion of the resilient material, the plate-like member in the region of the hinge-like portion is configured to provide room for the dependent skirt to hinge beneath the plate-like member, and in an impact between the edge of the seat adjacent the hinge-like portion and an object, the skirt is progressively deformed and forced to hinge inwards against the resilience of the hinge-like portion.

Abstract: A blood sampling device comprises a lancet member (11) and a sleeve member (12). The lancet member (11) is provided on one end with a button member (30) and on its other end with a projecting blade section (24) of a lancet (23). The sleeve member (12) is designed for accommodation and axial guidance of the lancet member (11). It is provided on one end with an annular flange (45) which is held at a first distance from the button member (30) by a stop, which can be mechanically overcome, in a first use position of the device, such that the blade section (24) is located inside the sleeve member (12). The button member (30) and the annular flange (45) can be brought together abruptly into a second use position, by overcoming the stop, at a second smaller distance from one another, so that the blade section (24) projects from the other end of the sleeve member (12). The stop, which can be overcome mechanically, is designed as an intended breaking point. Furthermore, for the selective adjustment of the first distance there are at least two spacers which alternatively create a different second distance in the second use position. Furthermore, a protective element is attached to the lancet member. This protective element covers the blade section and can be released therefrom by finger force. At the same time, the protective element projects from the other end of the sleeve member (12) before use of the device and can be gripped there by the fingers. Finally, the invention describes a method of producing such a blood sampling device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment a bentonite clay-based polymerization catalyst is manufactured by adhering together a plurality of smaller acid-activated bentonite clay particles, using a strong mineral acid, such as H₂SO₄, as a binder. An acid-activated bentonite clay having a particle size below about 60 mesh, U.S. Sieve Series, preferably calcium bentonite, having calcium as a predominant exchangeable action, is mixed with a strong mineral acid, preferably H₂SO₄ and water to form the catalyst. The mixture is subjected to intensive mixing, curing and drying to form strong particles capable of grinding to a desired particle size distribution, e.g., -6 mesh to +60 mesh, U.S. Sieve Series, to form the catalyst. Fines resulting from the grinding step are completely recycled to the intensive mixing stage of the process to achieve 100% yield. Some adjustment of acid content of the mix may be needed to take into account the acid carries into the mix by recycled fines.

Abstract: A method of detecting a deflated tyre on a vehicle by comparing the rolling radii of the tyres by means of comparing angular velocity speed signals C1, C2, C3 and C4 from wheel speed sensors on wheels 1-4 at the left-hand front, right-hand front, left-hand rear and right-hand rear wheel positions respectively, comprising the step of calculating an error value DEL' in normal driving by processing the four angular velocity speed signals C1-C4 in a central process unit (10) which subtracts the sum of the signals from one pair of diagonally opposite wheels from the sum of the signals from the other pair of diagonally opposite wheels and expressing the result as a percentage of the mean of the sums 
DEL' = (C1+C4-C2-C3) x 50/ 
((C1+C2+C3+C4)/4), 
 the step of sensing when the magnitude of the error value DEL' is in the range 0.05 to 0.5 and when it is carrying out the step of deciding which tyre is apparently deflated by comparison of the angular velocity speed signals C1-C4 with each other, characterised by a calibration step of determining for each wheel of the vehicle a wheel factor FAC(W) W=1,2,3,4 by a setup procedure comprising driving the vehicle in a straight line at constant speed and reducing in turn the pressure in each tyre by 0.6 bar whilst maintaining the other tyres at their scheduled pressure, calculating a wheel error value DEL'FAC(W) for each wheel W produced with the deflated tyre by the method for DEL' in normal driving, i.e. where 
DEL'FAC=(C1+C4-C2-C3) x 50/ 
((C1+C2+C3+C4)/4) 
 and calculating the wheel factor FAC(W) for each wheel W by dividing the wheel error values DEL'FAC(W) for the wheels by the wheel error value DEL'FAC of one of the wheels, i.e. 
FAC(W) = DEL'FAC(W)/DEL'FAC(1), or 
FAC(W) = DEL'FAC(W)/DEL'FAC(2), or 
FAC(W) = DEL'FAC(W)/DEL'FAC(3), or 
FAC(W) = DEL'FAC(W)/DEL'FAC(4) 
so that the four wheel factors are related to each other and in normal operation of the vehicle a step of calculating a standardised corrected error value STDDEL by dividing the error value DEL' by the wheel factor FAC(W) for the wheel having the tyre which is apparently deflated and if the value of the standardised corrected error value STDDEL is in the range 0.05 to 0.5 operating a tyre warning indicator provided in the vehicle finally to indicate that that particular tyre on the wheel on the vehicle is deflated.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are set forth for preparing and delivering bone cement from a powdered polymer component and a liquid monomer component by simultaneously injecting the powdered and liquid components, stored in separate component chambers, into an evacuated mixing chamber under the effect of the vacuum; by uniformly mixing the components in the mixing chamber (to thoroughly wet the powder); and by delivering the cement formed by the polymerization process, as needed in an operative setting, utilizing a single ready to use device. The uniform mix is achieved by simultaneously subjecting the contents of the component chambers to the effects of the mixing chamber's vacuum via separate one way nozzles, interconnecting the component chambers to the mixing chamber, which cause the powder to be broadcast and liquid to be sprayed into the mixing chamber. The nozzles are designed and oriented in a predetermined manner (depending on the type and quantity of the constituent bone cement components being mixed), to cause the components to interact at a preselected distance within the mixing chamber, to assure uniform powder saturation and a thorough mix which yields a homogeneous reaction product.
