Abstract: A whirlpool bath with an inverter-controlled circulating pump (P) comprises a bathtub body (1), a circulating pump (P) driven by a power-operated motor (M), a hot water circulation path (D) disposed between the bathtub body (1) and the circulating pump (P), the hot water circulation path (D) comprising a hot water suction path (10) and a hot water forced-feed path (11), the hot water forced-feed path (11) having at least one terminal end which is open into the bathtub body (1), at least one injection nozzle (3) which is mounted on the terminal end of the hot water forced-feed path (11), an air intake portion (5) connected to the hot water forced-feed path (11) to permit blowing of bubbling hot water into the bathtub body (1) from the injection nozzles (3), an inverter (E) interposed between a drive circuit (C) of the power-operated motor (M) of the circulating pump (P) and a power source and an electricity insulation means protecting the transfer of high frequency components of inverter-produced current to the hot water in the bathtub body (1). Due to such construction, the circulating pump (P) can be controlled such that the revolution of the motor (M) is readily and smoothly varied by way of a frequency modulation effected by the inverter (E) to provide the injection of hot water in various modes which are different in the injection amount and pressure of the injected hot water, while assuring a maximum degree of safety of a bather.

Date Sep. 21, 1989.Process for charging accumulators and circuit versions for implementing said process. The charging state of a 100% charged accumulator is determined by the detection of an extreme value in the trend of a parameter (S), which is related to the inner voltage or the inner resistance of the accu. The extreme value can be detected by means of electronic analog-digital or computer circuits. These circuits can be produced by discrete or hybrid technology and can be integrated on a monolithic substrate. Besides an improvement in reliability, the process is applicable for charging undetermined accumulators directly out of unstable sources like solar generators, dynamos, weak supplies, or similar.

Abstract: A method for decomposing and disposing of asbestos compounds through the use of a two part chemical process. The first step in the chemical process involves the decomposition of asbestos through the use of sulfuric acid. The second step of the process involves the solidification of the products resulting from the decomposition step. The efficacy of the invention process is enhanced by the use of a lubricating agent, an accelerating agent, and a cementitious or pozzolanic substance. The asbestos treated with the invention process is decomposed and forms a solidified mixture which can be easily handled and safely disposed of at a disposal site.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a member to be charged for carrying an electrostatic image, a contact-charging means for charging the member to be charged in contact with the member to be charged, and a developing means for developing the electrostatic image carried on the member to be charged. The developing means includes a developer for developing the electrostatic image comprising a toner and hydrophobic inorganic fine powder. The hydrophobic inorganic fine powder not only improves the fluidity of the developer and adjusts the chargeability of the developer but also prevents difficulties due to interaction between the member to be charged and the contact charging means in the presence of residual developer, such as damages of the member to be charged and toner-sticking onto the member to be charged. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A noninvasive method is described for performing accurate and controlled reshaping of the anterior surface of the cornea in order to correct ocular refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The invention uses a light source emitting a wavelength or wavelengths with correct optical penetration depth(s) to induce changes in corneal stromal collagen without damaging the corneal endothelium, together with a light delivery and control means for producing the required irradiance, exposure time, and geometric pattern, in order to achieve the desired change in corneal shape. Corneal shape is monitored before, during, and after the procedure by a corneal topography system. Anterior corneal surface cooling by a transparent heat sink is used to prevent damage to the epithelium and to Bowman's layer.
