Abstract: An undercoat composition is prepared by mixing in water 80 - 95 parts by wt. of an oil-absorbable pigment, preferably of oil absorption (JIS-K5101) of 70 ml / 100 g or more (e.g. kaolin), 5 - 20 parts of a binder, e.g. a water-soluble polymer (e.g. starch), and 1 - 5% of the wt. of the pigment of carboxymethyl cellulose of etherification degree 0.6 to 0.8 and mean mol. wt. 20,000 to 200,000, and optionally 0.5 to 10% by wt. of the pigment of a wax (e.g. paraffin wax); the mixture is blade coated preferably by an on-machine coater, in an amount of 1 - 20 g/m² on a paper support (e.g. of base weight 30 - 70 g/m²) which has a Stöckigt sizing degree (JIS P-8122) of 5 to 10 seconds; and the undercoated layer has excellent surface smoothness and high proportion of voids. 
     On the undercoat is coated a known thermosensitive layer, e.g. containing an electron-donating dye precursor and an electron-accepting color developer in a binder, e.g. in an amount of 2 - 7 g/m². The resulting thermosensitive recording material has high sensitivity, high image quality and low adhesion to a thermal head when used for thermosensitive printing.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuation assembly for a hydraulic circuit of a vehicle having an engine compartment and a passenger compartment separated by a bulkhead (22), the assembly comprising:     - a vacuum servomotor (16) having an axis (18) and including:     * an actuation rod (20) projecting into the passenger compartment, * a shell (14) intended to be fastened in the engine compartment, by its periphery, to the bulkhead (22) and to which a master cylinder (10) is fixed, and * a cover (26) closing the shell and bearing circumferentially on the bulkhead (22) in the engine compartment,   - a pedal mechanism for actuating the servomotor including at least one pedal (30) mounted on a lever (32) whose pivot (34) is held captive in a bearing component (36) integral with the cover.   According to the invention, the projection of the pivot (34) into the plane in which the assembly is fastened to the bulkhead (22) is situated inside the perimeter of the opening of the bulkhead, so as to transmit substantially all of the force exerted by the lever (32) on the pivot (34) in a direction substantially parallel to the axis (18) of the servomotor (16) so as to oppose the tearing-out force generated between the assembly and the bulkhead (22) when the pedal mechanism is actuated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a precharge and reading circuit for an integrated circuit memory. 
<??>Basically, this circuit comprises a precharge transistor (Tp) and an inverter (I1) which is looped back between the source and the grid of the precharge transistor to form a feedback-control circuit imposing a precharge-voltage setpoint on the bit line. To accelerate precharging without impairing operation during reading proper, the invention proposes to modify the characteristics of the feedback-control circuit during a precharge phase so that the setpoint voltage imposed during precharging is higher than the setpoint voltage imposed during reading. A sequencer employs a transistor N'1 or a transistor N1 as the invertor's N channel transistor, depending on whether the phase is one of precharging or one of reading.

Abstract: La fabrication de générateurs de caractères pour des imprimantes non-mécaniques requiert le soudage de puces à diodes électroluminescentes (DELs) dans des positions précises sur des plaques modulaires. La précision requise dans les trois dimensions se situe dans des limites comprises entre U 3 et 10 mum. Un nouveau dispositif comprend un dispositif d'ajustement (4) relié de manière détachable à un dispositif de soudage (3) qui peut effectuer en tant qu'unité séparée une opération de soudage. Une rangée de DELs à souder sur une plaque modulaire est temporairement positionnée et fixée sur un support auxiliaire (5) et rapprochée pendant le soudage de la surface enduite de soudure de la plaque modulaire (support (6)) de sorte que les pièces à souder ne se rejoignent que lorsque la soudure (2) est fondue. A cet effet, on utilise des joints à ressort blocables dans deux positions prédéterminées, ainsi que des plaques fusibles intermédiaires qui se fondent sur la plaque modulaire immédiatement après la soudure (2), ce qui permet de maîtriser la jonction des pièces à souder. On évite ainsi des dommages mécaniques des rangées de DELs et on obtient une précision élevée de positionnement des rangées de DELs par rapport à la plaque modulaire.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de produire facilement et en grande quantité des tubercules de solanacées, dans lequel le stolon et le feuillage, qui ont poussé pendant une phase liquide, sous l'application de dioxyde de carbone pendant la période d'exposition à la lumière du stade de croissance du feuillage, sont exposés à une phase gazeuse pendant le stade de formation des tubercules pour former des tubercules en grande quantité. La culture durant le stade de formation des tubercules se fait par aération de la phase gazeuse dans un bac de culture pour obtenir la formation d'un grand nombre de tubercules non seulement près des limites du milieu de culture, mais aussi durant la phase gazeuse en dehors du milieu. Ce procédé accroît la formation de tubercules et la qualité de ceux-ci.

Abstract: Un réacteur à jonction (50) dans lequel deux capillaires (513, 514) sont disposés bout à bout et substantiellement dans la même axe, de telle sorte qu'un léger espace (512) soit ménagé entre leurs extrémités. Une différence de potentiel appliquée entre les deux extrémités opposées de ces deux capillaires produit dans cet espace (512) des lignes de champ électrique qui se propagent à travers celui-ci (512). L'expérience révèle que l'espace (512) n'atténue que faiblement la résolution dans une séparation électrophorétique ou électrochromatographique. L'espace (512) autorise la continuité du flux du liquide d'échantillon entre des capillaires (513, 514) de sections intérieures différentes et permet des réactions sur capillaires telles que l'apposition d'une marque fluorescente sur les composants d'un échantillon.

Abstract: Two shearograms, taken while an object (3) is unstressed and stressed, respectively, are compared electronically to yield a composite interference pattern. Each shearogram is formed by the interference of pairs of distinct rays of coherent light, reflected from different points on the object (3). The first ray of each pair is reflected from the object, strikes a mirror (5) spaced from the object (3), and is reflected from the mirror (5). At the same time, the second ray of each pair is reflected from the object (3) and strikes a beam splitter (7) positioned beside the mirror. The beam splitter directs a portion of the second ray in the same direction as the reflected first ray, and a portion of the first ray passes through the beam splitter without being reflected. Since the two rays have the same polarization angle, and are mutually parallel, the rays interfere. A detector (9) is positioned to receive light from the beam splitter (7). The detector observes the interference between pairs of rays over the entire field of view, and the result is an interference pattern, i.e. a shearogram, formed from the optical interference of the two laterally-displaced images of the object.

Abstract: A vibration damping support leg (1) for a motor vehicle has an absorber mass (3) axially movable in a cavity (2a) of the piston rod (2) extending in the longitudinal axis for the absorption of natural frequencies of the vehicle body, which mass is supported at either end by way of a spring element (4) arranged in a free space (10) of the cavity and these free spaces have a medium filling and are connected to one another by way of a passage (11) in the absorber mass. This design brings about an absorption effect on the torsional natural frequency of the body in that an absorption of the high energy, equal frequency impact components introduced from the power unit by way of the piston rod is brought about by means of which the impacts exciting the body are then largely absorbed. <IMAGE>

After the received object (167) has been dropped at the second position into the drop tube (173), but before another such object can be received, the drum (157) is rotated from the second position back to the first position wherein the indentation (161) is at the foot of the ramp (163). The used object (167) is ejected, by an appropriate force, from the proximal location (113) back into the supply tube (187) and thence to another container (183) for disposed or used objects.
