Abstract: A flat balance forms a wheel load measuring device for the wheels of road vehicles. It has a flat weighing plate (1) in the shape of a circular disc. The weighing plate (1) is connected at its periphery via an internal circular bending joint (flector) (2) having a concentric bending ring (3). The bending ring (3) is supported on the edge of a disc-shaped balance lower part (8) via an outer circular bending joint (6). On the underside (4) of the bending ring (3) and in the vicinity of the plane of the neutral fibre (9) of the weighing plate (1), strain gauges (5, 11), which are counterconnected in a full bridge circuit, are applied in each case. As a result, a compensation of the fault influences caused by the sagging of the weighing plate (1) is achieved. <IMAGE>

Date Dec. 8, 1994The invention relates to a paper roll holder with a brake for dispensing use of paper rolls or the like. The paper roll holder comprises a heavy base to which two column-like parts are fixed, against which the paper roll rests and in between which the paper runs and which at their ends have suitably shaped cutting edges or serration, if the paper web is not perforated. A split ring member including ring and wedge-shaped parts as well as a cover with a spring fixed to it are mounted in bearings to the column-like parts and a spring fixed to the base are all pressing the paper roll against the column-like parts. The form, roughness and weight of the cover and column-like parts the split ring member and the the spring forces of the springs are chosen so that by pulling the paper it easily unwinds but the paper breaks off with a little jerk using only one hand. In the roll holder also, paper rolls without a core can be used and then springs in the cover and base are not needed, or the holder can be built without the split ring member, in which case only the springs press the paper roll against the column-like parts. The holder is normally placed on the table but can also, by transforming the base, be fixed to the wall.

Abstract: A printed circuit board inspection system acquires images for purposes of inspection from viewing fields defined along the surface of the printed circuit board to be inspected which can be varied in size to accommodate the density and tolerance of components associated with the printed circuit board under inspection. To this end, the cameras of the inspection head associated with the printed circuit board inspection system are provided with zoom lenses, which are capable of controlled operation responsive to the existing microprocessor systems of the printed circuit board inspection system. This allows the magnification of images acquired by the cameras to be varied, as desired, in turn varying the size of the viewing fields defined for inspection purposes. The inspection head is then operated at a rate commensurate with the size of the viewing fields which have been selected. Such operations can be varied automatically, by the printed circuit board inspection system, to effectively inspect printed circuit boards of different type and configuration. The printed circuit board inspection system can also perform successive inspections of a printed circuit board, at different magnifications.

Abstract: Ethylene oxide is removed from exhaust gases of sterilisation plants and/or from outgoing air from storehouses for sterilised products. A catalyst-containing adsorbent (for example active coal or silica gel) binds the ethylene oxide, forming glycol. Two or more adsorptive filters (4a, 4b) allow the outgoing air to be cleaned without interruption, as the filters are alternatively switched off and regenerated. Regeneration is carried out by extracting the adsorbent with a liquid (for example boiling water). A gas wash may be used as a pre-washing process, an ethylene oxide concentration of about 15 mg/m<3> being achieved in the washing gas and residual amounts lower than 1 mg/m<3> being then ensured in the adsorber. The glycol contained in the waste water from the pre-washing process may be decomposed into CO2 and H2O in a downstream biological trickling reactor (7). The ethylene oxide-free pure air from the installation is used for aerating the biological trickling reactor (7)

Abstract: Un faisceau primaire d'un microscope électronique à balayage (MEB) libère des électrons secondaires dans l'échantillon à examiner. Ces électrons reviennent vers la lentille de focalisation dans le sens opposé du faisceau primaire, leur détection ayant lieu à proximité de la lentille. Un détecteur connu comprend un filtre de Wien utilisé pour faire dévier les électrons de l'axe optique vers le détecteur en question. Selon l'invention, un détecteur MEB est pourvu d'un double dipôle électrique qui a l'avantage de ne pas perturber fortement le faisceau primaire, mais fait dévier très efficacement les électrons secondaires vers le détecteur en question.

Abstract: DNAs encoding glutamate and avermectin-sensitive chloride channels have been cloned and characterized. The individual alpha and beta subunits are capable of forming homomeric and heteromeric channels selectively opened with either avermectin or glutamate. The cDNA's have been expressed in recombinant host cells which produce active recombinant protein. The recombinant protein is also purified from the recombinant host cells. In addition, the recombinant host cells are utilized to establish a method for identifying modulators of the receptor activity, and receptor modulators are identified. Receptor modulators are useful as insecticides and anthelminthic agents.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour mouler un produit non homogène, tel qu'un coussin ergonomique de siège de véhicule, à partir d'un matériau brut, dans un moule (10) perméable aux gaz. Le moule comporte deux parties principales (12, 14) se déplaçant l'une vers l'autre, et une alimentation en gaz agencée pour que l'écoulement de gaz chaud (30) circule à travers le moule (10) et le matériau brut (28). Avant le refroidissement de la masse, on peut distinguer au moins deux zones différentes dans le moule (24, 26, 44, 46, 48, 50). Dans la première zone (26, 44, 48), le matériau brut a une densité plus élevée que dans la seconde zone (24, 46, 50). Ceci est réalisé soit en pressant les parties opposées du moule (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 38) l'une contre l'autre sur une plus grande distance au niveau de la première zone qu'à celui de la seconde zone, soit en assurant un écoulement plus important du gaz transportant le matériau à travers les ouvertures (52) dans les parties (54) du moule renfermant la première zone qu'à travers les ouvertures dans les parties du moule renfermant la seconde zone, ce qui produit un remplissage de la première zone (48) du moule avec un matériau plus dense que dans la seconde zone (50).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a stencil for the depositing and gauging of more or less thick, point-base coats of a viscous product.To remedy the problems found with a serigraphic screen made of polyester or metal cloth and a metal stencil, the present invention proposes use of a solid sheet of uniform composition made of synthetic material and, preferably, polyester without the inclusion of wires. This polyester solid sheet is bored mechanically or thermally at the places desired. Since the polyester cloth is solid, it admits of tension forces greater than those of wire mesh cloths or at least equal to those of metal stencils.
