Abstract: A road surface marking strip (22) comprises spaced transparent protruding elements containing light-emitting diodes -LEDs- (18), and a photosensitive device (12) located on said strip (22) and adapted to cause, when excited by light from the headlights of an approaching vehicle, switching on of the LEDs (18)-Illumination of the marking strip can also be activated by traffic lights, light from the traffic light being transmitted to the photosensitive device via optical fibres. 
<??>Retroreflective elements, e.g. catadioptric prisms, alternate on the strip with the LED containing elements. Further the strip is provided with solar converters located thereon and with storage means for the electric energy generated. 
<??>To better cope with fog conditions, a series of halogen type micro-lamps (20) can be provided on the marking strip (22), in addition to the elements containing the LEDs (18). On the strip a second photosensitive device (14) monitors the light coming from a dedicated LED (16) and causes the fog condition lamps (20) to be switched on when the intensity of the illumination perceived drops below a safe level. 
<??>To provide a warning of potentially icy road conditions, the surface of the marking strip can contain cholesteric liquid crystals to change color when temperature drops below a certain point, a LED illuminating the warning surface.- Alternatively, the strip can be illuminated by a colored ice alert LED controlled by a temperature sensor.

Abstract: A method of forming a gasket in situ between two components which comprises injecting into a groove in at least one of said components a curable composition comprising:   one or more free-radical polymerizable vinyl esters, and ingredients of a rapid free-radical cure system therefor, the cure system being inactivated prior to injection of the composition, and the composition having a viscosity at 25 DEG C in the range from 200 to 500,000 mPas;  and permitting the composition to cure. The composition can be a two part composition wherein the first part contains a prepolymer, monomer and activator and the second part a prepolymer, monomer and activator. The composition can also comprise two expansion reactants, each in a separate part of the composition prior to injection, which react to form a gas in situ in the composition. The gasketing composition is suitable for use in engines and other machines e.g. in industrial manufacturing plants.

Abstract: An apparatus for the conservative treatment of persons having acute and/or chronic pain in the lumbar region of the vertebral column has a frame consisting of two pairs of supports (1, 2) and carrying splints (3) arranged parallel to one another, in which a lower leg support is displaceably guided. The inclination of the splints (3), and hence of the lower leg support (4), is such that this lower leg support encloses an angle (z) of between 120 DEG  and 130 DEG  with a vertical. By adjustment of the lower leg support (4) in the splints (3), this lower leg support can be brought into position, as a function of the size of the person to be treated, in which the distance (x) of the pelvis of this person from the resting surface formed by the floor of a room is between 10 and 30 cm. The upper body (y) of the person to be treated rests on a mattress or the like (w). The lower leg of the person to be treated is secured by means of a shin restraint (5). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flow collector/distributor for a water treatment tank comprises a housing proportioned to communicate through a wall of the water treatment tank to provide flow communication between the tank interior and the tank exterior. The collector/distributor defines an inner end to project inwardly from the tank wall and an outward end to face outwardly from the tank wall. A plurality of slots are defined in the tubular housing, positioned to communicate with the tank interior when the collector/distributor is seated in the tank wall. The slots are of a width which is narrow enough to permit water flow therethrough while substantially preventing passage therethrough of water treatment material present within the tank. One or more one-way valves are provided to permit water flow through all of the slots from the tank interior through the collector/distributor to the tank exterior, but to prevent water flow through some, but not all, of the slots from the tank exterior through the collector/distributor to the tank interior. Also, a novel slot design is disclosed having improved flow characteristics. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A switch is provided for selectively routing digital information packets received from at least first and second external sources to at least first and second external destinations. At least one of the first sources generates an information packet including a datum (or a request therefor) and a corresponding descriptor. First and second routing interconnects have inputs for receiving packets from respective sources and outputs for transmitting packets to respective destinations. The interconnects are also coupled for transferring packets between one another. Directories within the interconnects store descriptors corresponding to data associated with the first destination, as well as requests routed from the other interconnect. A controller routes packets based on the correspondence, or lack thereof, between the descriptor in that packet and an entry signal allocated to corresponding directory.

Abstract: In the encoding of a frame (P3) in a digitised motion picture sequence, the frame is divided into blocks (A) of pixels and a motion vector (VA) found to predicts the contents of each block A from a block (A') in a previous frame (IO). Rather than evaluate many thousands of candidate vectors to find the best motion vector (VA), relatively few candidate vectors are evaluated, based on starting vector which is the estimated motion vector for a neighbouring block (LB(A)) in the same frame. To allow parallel processing of several pixel blocks, all the blocks of one row in the current frame are assigned to one processor (DSP), and a starting vector is obtained from a block (LB(A)) previously processed by the same processor. Further starting vectors are obtained if desired from neighbouring blocks (UR(B),DR(B)) in neighbouring frames of the sequence. The candidate vectors based on a starting vector may be very few in number, or may fill an area a few percent of the full search area. The method may favour candidate vectors which are more economical to encode. <IMAGE>
