Abstract: A device for the closure of doors or the like, especially in electrical domestic appliances, comprising cooperatine engaging means (2,5) for immobilising at least one door leaf (1) or the like in a closed position and for opening the same. The engaging means (2,5) are associated with the door leaf (1) and the stationary portion (3) bounding the opening and the said means (2,5) act together with electrical switch means (9) switching the latter to a make or break condition corresponding to the closed and open positions of the door leaf (1). In accordance with the invention the engaging means (2 or 5) are slidably mounted in a slide (6) which moves against a predetermined force (7) and provides control means (404,205) in a disengaged position of the associated engaging means (2,5) and control means (205) for a switch (9). When slide (6) is in the extended condition switch means (9) are in the break condition and engaging means (2,5) are disengaged, while when slide (6) is in the retracted position switch means (9) may be in either the make or break condition and engaging means (2,5) may be in the engaged or disengaged position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé visant à obtenir un meilleur emballage et garder frais un produit agricole, ceci par un meilleur écoulement d'air sur le produit, et à un appareil destiné à réaliser ce procédé. Selon cette invention, des paniers pour l'emballage de fruits sont pourvus de voies d'aération agencées sur leurs surfaces inférieures. Des trous d'aération communiquent entre les voies d'aération et le produit rangé dans les paniers. Après emballage des paniers renfermant le produit, ceux-ci sont chargés sur des plateaux. Les plateaux sont pourvus d'évents s'alignant sur les voies d'aération. De cette façon, toutes les palettes de paniers remplies de produits peuvent être efficacement refroidies par l'introduction d'un écoulement d'air de refroidissement dans les évents des plateaux, cet écoulement traversant les voies d'aération et par conséquent le produit emballé à l'intérieur. Les plateaux et les paniers sont dimensionnés de façon à occuper toute la surface d'une palette d'expédition standard, et à minimiser le déplacement des paniers dans les plateaux ainsi que celui des plateaux les uns par rapport aux autres.

Date Feb. 26, 1998The collection of household refuse using multichamber refuse containers poses problems if automatic container grippers are used since the section lids of the container can no longer be opened manually before the container is tipped into the vehicle. In particular in the case of multichamber refuse containers having a partition which is attached perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the container lid in the container, there is the risk that as the refuse is being tipped into the vehicle, the section lids of the container will collide with the partition of the vehicle and therefore will not open completely. The patent specification proposes various means, such as changing the geometry of the axis of rotation of the section lids, or curved control means attached to the refuse container.

Abstract: A rail pad that is formed from elastomeric material has an upper face adapted to underlie a lower face of a rail. The lower face is adapted to overlie a concrete rail foundation member. The elastomeric rail pad generally has a rectangular plan configuration. The elastomeric pad includes a reinforcement member, which is generally parallel to its mean plane and which extends at least between dispositions associated with generally opposing comers of the generally rectangular pad. The reinforcing member has a tensile strength sufficient to resist forces from traffic passing across the rail, which tend to stretch the pad in the mean plane.

Abstract: An automated system and method for testing circuitry utilizes robotics to place probe leads at selected points on a circuit board with extreme precision. The robotics includes motors and associated control software. The control software can process user input and direct the motors to place the probe leads. The control software also directs the probe to perform the testing and provides the test results to the user. Three motors position the probe leads as directed by the control software. The motors utilize a polar coordinate positioning system. A rotational motor positions a second probe lead in a rotational direction relative to a first probe lead. A radial motor positions the second probe lead in a radial direction relative to the first probe lead. A Z-direction motor positions both probe leads in a Z-direction relative to the circuitry and engages the probe leads with the circuitry.

Abstract: The effect of a detonated warhead on an incoming projectile is countered by a blast from a munition detonated prior to the impact of the warhead. This explosion deflects the explosion of the warhead of the projectile. The optimum time of impact between the incoming projectile and fired munition is calculated on board the object protected by the armor using sensors that extrapolate the time relation between the projectile and munition, so that the latter is detonated at a time when it will affect the rear of the projectile and deflect its path away from the object.

Abstract: A sorting apparatus is disclosed which allows automatic handling of, for example, baggage to be examined by an X-ray system. The apparatus comprises a conveyor belt system (30) which carries baggage through an X-ray unit (70) to allow monitoring of the contents of the baggage as it passes therethrough. Downstream of the X-ray unit (70) is a turntable (140). If an operator of the apparatus decides that further, manual investigation of the baggage that has passed through the X-ray unit (70) is not necessary, then the turntable (140) drives the baggage onto a collection bench (170). If, on the other hand, the operator decides that further investigation of the baggage is necessary, then the turntable (140) is rotated through 90 DEG , and baggage thereon is driven off onto an inspection bench (200) at right angles to the collection bench (170). The amount of lifting and carrying of baggage during examination is thereby reduced. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gas detector comprises a laser transmitter (10), a laser receiver (16), and a gas reference cell (26) formed of a sealed encircling wall defining an interior volume. A liquid partially fills the gas reference cell, and a reference gas dissolved in the liquid forms a vapor within the interior volume. At least a portion of the sealed encircling wall is transparent to electromagnetic radiation emitted by the laser transmitter to permit electromagnetic radiation to enter the gas reference cell, traverse a path through the vapor and exit the gas reference cell. The laser transmitter, laser receiver and gas reference cell are coupled together with light guiding elements to form light paths that pass from the laser transmitter to the laser receiver through the gas reference cell and from the laser transmitter to the laser receiver through a target zone. A method of detecting a target gas comprises the steps of directing laser light from the laser transmitter to the laser receiver through a target zone and through the gas reference cell containing a sample of the target gas; detecting light from the laser transmitter that has passed through the target zone and light from the laser transmitter that has passed through the gas reference cell; and analyzing the detected light for the presence of the target gas in the target zone.   <IMAGE>
