Abstract: Une installation de sports et loisirs comprend des tribunes à gradins situées autour d'une aire de jeu (2), et une surface de jeu en pelouse (12) pouvant être retirée de l'aire de jeu. L'aire de jeu est définie à l'intérieur d'une extrémité d'un bassin peu profond (16), le bassin s'étendant sur l'aire de jeu (2) et également suffisamment à l'extérieur de l'aire de jeu dans un sens donné afin de définir une aire extérieure à l'aire de jeu et des tribunes à gradins présentant des dimensions au moins égales à l'aire de jeu. Une barge peu profonde (14) flotte à l'intérieur du bassin (16) et porte la surface de jeu (12) afin de permettre son mouvement à l'intérieur de ladite barge entre l'aire de jeu et l'aire extérieure. L'eau (18) destinée à être introduite dans le bassin est stockée à l'intérieur de la barge. Le bassin s'étend au-dessous d'une tribune à gradins (8) d'un côté de l'aire de jeu, ladite tribune pouvant avoir la forme d'une unité mobile, la barge (14) assure le stockage d'un volume d'eau supplémentaire allant au-delà des besoins pour faire flotter la barge dans le bassin, l'eau pouvant être expulsée de la barge jusque dans le bassin de manière à élever le réservoir au-dessous de ladite tribune à gradins mobiles (8) soulevant ainsi la tribune à gradins sur la barge (14) afin de la déplacer avec ladite barge entre au moins deux emplacements par rapport aux tribunes restantes de gradins et à l'aire de jeu (2).

Title: Process for producing polymeric films for use as fuel cells
Inventor: SANSONE MICHAEL J
IPC: H01M8/10
Filed: 1997-09-29
Abstract: A method for producing polymeric, e.g., polybenzimidazole (PBI) films, is provided by forming a porous membrane by coagulating a polymeric dope solution in a liquid coagulation bath containing a non-solvent alone or a mixture of a non-solvent and solvent; submerging the resulting membrane into a non-solvent bath to remove any residual solvent; placing the membrane into an acid solution, whereby the pores become filled with the acid solution; and drying the membrane to remove residual non-solvent which collapses the porous structure entrapping the acid and forming a dense film. An alternative method involves coagulating said polymer solution directly into an acid/solvent/non-solvent mixture to produce a porous membrane which imbibes the acid solution, followed by drying.

Abstract: Es wird ein Sensor vorgeschlagen, der zur Bestimmung der Konzentration oxidierbarer Bestandteile in einem Gasgemisch, insbesondere zur Bestimmung eines oder mehrerer der Gase NOx, CO, H2 und vorzugsweise ungesättigte Kohlenwasserstoffe durch Messung der Spannung zwischen einer Meßelektrode (1, 2) und einer Referenzelektrode (3) oder durch Messung der Spannung zwischen zwei Meßelektroden [(1) und (2)] dient. Durch einen porösen Festelektrolyten kann auf eine Referenzgasatmosphäre verzichtet werden und somit eine erhöhte Miniaturisierung und konstruktive Vereinfachung erreicht werden. Die Selektivität für einzelne Meßgaskomponenten kann durch die Auswahl der Meßelektrodenmaterialien, insbesondere durch den Einsatz von Halbleitern verbessert werden.

Abstract: A scalable high performance ATM cell/packet switch (HiPAS) element for a shared memory switch fabric application. The switch element includes a PAC Bus (Packet/ATM Cell Bus) and the Switch Fabric Controller bus (SC Bus). The HiPAS switch element receives and transmits the ATM cells/packets through the PAC Bus. The PAC bus provides independent parallel datapaths for the receive port and transmit port. The PAC Bus provides a unique structural feature to the HiPAS switch element and allows expansion to the switch capacity in a manner similar to a bit-slice processor. Multiple number of HiPAS switch elements can be concatenated to expand the capacity. In the concatenated configuration, the datapaths of the receive port and transmit port are interleaved so that the interconnection remains point-to-point. As the result, all of the switch ports in the switch execute the cell transactions concurrently on the PAC bus. In addition, each switch fabric port has a dedicated serial ports to exchange status information between the switch fabric and the switch port adapter.

Abstract: Disclosed are antiperspirant stick compositions that exhibit substantially no visible residue (whitening) upon application to the skin or after drying. The compositions include both emollients that are silicone materials and emollients that are not silicone materials, these materials having a refractive index of at least 1.4460, in addition to including a vehicle (for example, cyclomethicone), a gelling agent (for example, stearyl alcohol and hydrogenated castor oil) and the active antiperspirant material (for example, particulate antiperspirant metal salts). These compositions reduce the necessity of using expensive silicone materials, while still achieving antiperspirant compositions with substantially no visible residue.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor-driven brush device with a drive shaft (8) on which can be fitted an essentially hollow cylindrical interchangeable brush head, where the drive shaft (8) has an essentially circumferentially operating dog (19) operating in conjunction with a radially inwardly directed drive projection on the brush body, where the dog (19) widens towards the drive projection in the direction of the shaft to achieve a wedge action in co-operation with the drive projection and the dog (19) if formed in the shaft direction opposite a bearing surface (29) to operate together with an inner supporting ring on the brush body. To improve the handling of a motor-driven brush device of this kind while maintaining its reliability, it is proposed that the dog (19) be not or only partly integrated into the bearing surface (29) but, from one plane of the resting surface (29), form a guide surface (23) which projects back from the resting surface (29) viewed in the direction of the shaft.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE97/00793 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 21, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 21, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 21, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/39702 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 30, 1997The invention concerns a screw-in type artificial hip joint socket with a special thread for implantation in human beings. Hip joint sockets of this type usually have a flat thread with parallel teeth flanks or a triangular thread with a neutral teeth position, the axial pitch being conventionally constant. However, such embodiments are unfavourable because they do not take sufficiently into account the forces which arise during implantation as well as during the intended use, or they cause an unnecessarily extensive bone bed destruction during an eventually required explantation. With the invention a purposefully optimization of the hip joint socket thread is provided, wherein the thread profile, the angular orientation of the thread teeth and a non-linear thread pitch is utilized, in order to ensure an effortless screwing, a stable seat in the long term and an unproblematic explantation (FIG. 3).

Abstract: A modular link conveyor including a plurality of modular link assemblies made up of links of an improved design assembled to create a closely interdigitating conveying surface is disclosed. The improved links eliminate undesirable gaps or openings in the conveying surface. Particularly, the improved links include a forwardly extending tongue, projecting from the leading apex of the link, which occupies an open space between the trailing apexes of the legs of the next forward link, thus minimizing the tendency of foreign objects from falling into the open space. The topside of the tongue is tapered downward so as to lift free any objects present in the open spaces primarily while the conveyor is maneuvering through a turn. A forwardly projecting finger, positioned between adjoining links, is also provided for filling a void between the adjoining links. The finger aids in dislodging any foreign objects present in an opening between the legs of the next forward adjoining link, also primarily during turning.
