Abstract: A connector plug ( 10, 20 ) for making electrical connection to the terminal assembly ( 40 ) of a hermetic compressor for an air conditioning or refrigeration system. The plug has a flexible skirt ( 15 ) that extends axially downward to fit snugly over the shoulder ( 43 ) of the body ( 41 ) of the terminal assembly when connected. An ear ( 16, 26 ) extends from the side wall ( 13 ) of the plug and has an engaging slot ( 17 ) which is sized and configured so that the engaging slot engages a stud ( 52 ) that extends from the compressor shell ( 51 ) in the vicinity of the terminal assembly when the plug is correctly installed on the terminal assembly. The ear may also include a cavity for receiving a thermal overload sensor ( 71 ) that may be associated with the compressors.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DK96/00002 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 7, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 7, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 4, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/20873 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 11, 1996In carton boxes of that particular dispenser type, where the broad front side (2) of the box exhibits a dispenser opening, which is internally covered by a slide panel (18) with an opening (20), the slide panel is displaceable into a dispensing position by an outward pivoting of an associated end flap (26) of the box. The slide panel is prevented from falling into the box in that it has laterally projecting side flaps (28) which ride on the top edges of inner, upright side wall portions (8) of the box, this riding engagement being secured by the side flaps being folded down along the upper, exterior area of the side wall portions (8). Outer side wall portions (12) folded own from the front or top panel (2) are at their lower edge area welded or glued to the root zone of the inner, upright side wall portions. The associated folding of the said side flaps (28) may result in an inward pivoting of the inner side wall portions (8), which in turn disables a perfect face-to-face engagement in the lower joining zone (A, B) between the side wall portions. According to the invention this drawback is eliminated in arranging for a longitudinal cutting line (C) near the middle of the inner side wall portion (8), such that by the folding down of the side flap (28) it will only be the strip area above this line which is forced inwardly, while the remaining lowermost strip area can be joined safely face to face with the outer side wall portion (12).

Abstract: In a pair of replaceable blade type scissors having a handle portion (2) and a blade portion (3) which are freely connectable and disconnectable, a plurality of fitting apertures (5) are provided in one of overlapping portions (4) (9) of the handle portion (2) and the blade portion (3), a plurality of protruding members (10) are provided to the other overlapping portion (9), and the plurality of the fitting apertures (5) and the plurality of the protruding members (10) are fitted, respectively, so that the handle portion (2) and the blade portion (3) are coupled to each other. Since the fitting apertures (5) and the elastically deformable protruding members (10) are fitted at a plurality of separate positions, unsteadiness between the handle portion (2) and the blade portion (3) is positively prevented. At this time, since tolerances in the positions and dimensions of the fitting apertures (5) and the protruding portions (10) are absorbed by the elastic deformation of the protruding members (10), machining accuracy of these parts is not necessarily increased so much.

Inventor: WALTERS GLENN J
IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 1996-04-29
Abstract: A conductive structure for use in microwave food packaging which adapts itself to heat food articles in a safer, more uniform manner is disclosed. The structure includes a conductive layer disposed on a non-conductive substrate. Provision in the structure's conductive layer of fuse links and base areas causes microwave induced currents to be channeled through the fuse links, resulting in a controlled heating. When over-exposed to microwave energy, fuses break more readily than the conductive base areas resulting in less absorption of microwave energy in the area of fuse breaks than in other regions where fuses do not break. The arrangement and dimensions of fuse links compensate for known uneven stresses in the substrate, giving uniform fuse performance. In addition, by varying the dimensions of the fuse links and base areas it is possible to design and fabricate different fused microwave conductive structures having a wide range of heating characteristics. Thus, a fused microwave conductive structure permits food heating temperatures to be tuned for food type.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un raccordement en angle pour une unité d'arbre (29) mobile verticalement et permettant de faire tourner un outil de coupe (4) dans une orientation sensiblement horizontale. Le raccordement comprend un système d'arbre (43) ayant un train d'entraînement (44) qui est mécaniquement indépendent du train d'entraînement de l'unité d'arbre mobile verticalement et un bloc de raccordement pour raccorder d'une manière détachable le système d'arbre à un angle transversal par rapport à l'unité d'arbre mobile verticalement. Le bloc de raccordement (105) peut comporter un mécanisme d'ajustement angulaire (107) qui permet au système d'arbre d'être orienté à un angle au-dessus ou en dessous de l'horizontale, ainsi qu'un système d'ajustement en rotation qui permet au système d'arbre (43) d'être ajusté par pivotement autour de l'axe de rotation de l'unité d'arbre mobile verticalement. Le train d'entraînement indépendant du système d'arbre peut être actionné électriquement, hydrauliquement ou pneumatiquement et permet à l'outil de coupe d'être tenu plus rigidement, de fonctionner avec moins de mouvements excentrés, et de tourner à des vitesses qui ne sont pas limitées par le train d'entraînement de l'unité d'arbre mobile verticalement.

Abstract: An optical spray paint optimization system can be removably mounted to a spray paint gun, thus enhancing the ability of the user to guide the direction of the spray and also locate the nozzle at an optimum spray distance from the surface being painted. The preferred apparatus uses a diode laser, a beam splitter and a reflecting mirror to generate a reference beam and a gauge beam. The reference beam propagates in a fixed forward direction, but the direction of the gauge beam is adjustable by adjusting the attitude of the reflecting mirror. The reference beam and the gauge beam intersect at a convergence point which can be repositioned to a selected distance from the nozzle of the spray painting system by adjusting the path of the gauge beam, thus allowing the user to spray at the optimum spray distance by locating the convergence point on the surface being painted. The beams also aid in aiming the spray.

Abstract: Use of an intact bispecific or tri-specific antibody to prepare a medicament for inducing tumour immunity in humans and animals is claimed (an intact bispecific antibody is a hybrid antibody comprising two different Fab fragments and an Fc fragment; the term "intact tri-specific antibody" is not defined). The intact bispecific or tri-specific antibody must: (a) bind to a T cell and mediate a first activation signal therein, (b) bind to tumour-associated antigens on a tumour cell, (c) bind through its Fc fragment (in the case of bispecific antibodies) or through "a third specificity" (in the case of tri-specific antibodies) to the Fc receptors of Fc-receptor positive cells and (d) activate the Fc-receptor positive cells by binding to the Fc receptors, whereby expression of cytokines and/or co-stimulatory antigens is initiated or enhanced, the cytokines and/or co-stimulatory antigens transmitting to the T cells a second activation signal necessary for physiological activation of the T cells, this activation being manifested in up-regulation of activation markers, destruction of tumour cells and/or proliferation of the T cells.
