Abstract: The bone forceps provided for osteosynthetic purposes have a lockable hinge (1), two jaws (2, 3) and two legs (4, 5). After the bone fragments have been fixed using the bone forceps according to the invention, the hinge (1) thereof can be blocked so that they can act as a permanent bone staple. The legs (4, 5) which are now superfluous and in the way can be easily removed. By means of a connection pin (9) which can be mounted on the bone forceps and which, by virtue of the nut (8), can be blocked in any desired position, it is possible to combine several bone forceps to form a stable osteosynthetic fixation device. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid-ring pump according to the invention for use as a vacuum pump, e.g. for the aspiration of centrifugal pumps, and for use in the transport of mixtures of fluids and gases or solid particles, is of the type where the distance between the internal surface (17) of the pump housing and the rotor (10) varies. Seen in section, the surface is divided into two identical, reverse-image sectors, in relation to which the rotor (10) is disposed in a symmetrical manner. The opposing forces as a result of the diametrically-opposite directed sealing pressures hereby cancel each other out, and the rotor blades (14) can have a greater pitch with a consequent increase in capacity. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The pressure supply valve (40) provides hydraulic pressure from a pressure source (20) to the system modulators (46, 46', 48, 48', 52, 52') and isolates a hydraulic boost chamber (34) of a boosted master cylinder (12). The pressure supply valve (40) includes an armature (83) operated piston valve (72) having a through opening (79), a valve seat (85) of the piston valve (72) engageable with a ball valve (68). The ball valve (68) normally prevents fluid flow from the pressure source (20) to the modulators (46, 46', 48, 48', 52, 52'), and the piston valve (72) permits fluid flow through itself during normal and adaptive braking. During traction control operation, the piston valve (72) displaces the ball valve (68) and permits the pressure source (20) to communicate with the modulators (46, 46', 48, 48', 52, 52').

Abstract: A method and apparatus for addressing faster responding liquid crystal panels (LCDs) so that video rate, high information content LCDs having time constants on the order of 50ms or less, are perceived as having brighter bright states and darker dark states by limiting peak voltage levels across the pixels. A first set of LCD electrodes are continuously driven with signals each comprising a train of pulses that: are periodic in time; have a common period T; are independent of the information to be displayed; and are preferably orthonormal. A plurality of column signals are generated from the collective information state of the pixels defined by the overlap with a second electrode pattern. Each column signal is proportional to the sum obtained by considering each pixel in the column and adding the voltage of that pixel's row at time t to the sum if the pixel is to be "off" and subtracting the voltage of that pixel's row at time t from the sum if the pixel is to be "on". If the row signals only switch between two voltage levels, the sum may be represented as the sum of the exclusive-or (XOR) products of the logic level of the amplitude of each row signal times the logic level of the information state of the pixel corresponding to that row. Hardware implementation comprises an external video source, a controller that receives and formats video data and timing information, a storage means for storing display data, a row signal generator, a column signal generator, and at least one LCD panel. Alternative embodiments provide gray scale shading and circuits to reduce the magnitude of the column signals, as well as the number of column voltage levels required to generate a displayed image. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à des agents bloquant physiquement les rayons du soleil et acceptables du point de vue cosmétique, qui restent transparents à la vue une fois appliqués sur la peau, tout en conservant leur aptitude à absorber la majeure partie des rayons UV. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, on utilise une dispersion de particules d'oxyde de zinc, réduites à des dimensions de l'ordre du micron, dont le diamètre est inférieur à 0,2 ν environ et qui ont une très faible teneur en métal-trace. Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, on utilise des cristaux sensiblement plus grands d'oxyde de zinc pratiquement pur, qui mesurent entre environ 1 et 100 microns de diamètre et qui sont formés par une technique, telle que le dépôt en phase vapeur par procédé chimique, qui permet de produire des cristaux symétriques pour ainsi dire optiquement parfaits ayant une surface externe relativement lisse et pratiquement exempts d'imperfections et de fractures internes. Des particules de verre transparentes à la vue, ayant un diamètre compris entre environ 0,01 et 100 ν peuvent également être utilisées comme agent d'absorption des UV. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on utilise des sphères de plastique transparentes à la vue, qui mesurent entre environ 0,01 et 100 microns de diamètre et dans lesquelles est incorporé au moins un additif d'absorption des UV qui sert à régler l'énergie de la bande interdite de ces sphères sur la frontière entre les longueurs d'onde de la plage du visible et les longueurs d'onde de la plage des ultraviolets. Les matériaux particulaires décrits ci-dessus sont de préférence dispersés dans une émulsion, pour faciliter leur application sur la surface de la peau. L'invention décrit en outre des compositions cosmétiques dans lesquelles sont incorporés les agents antisolaires sous forme particulaire décrits ci-dessus.
