Abstract: The invention relates to a device aimed at modifying the pressure distribution of a ski, such as, in particular, an alpine ski, over its sliding surface (surface-sole). The device is characterised in that it comprises a sensor member (60) capable of sensing the vertical stresses of the boot and, moreover, linking means (43, 44) for transmitting at least towards one of the ends of the ski in the form of a bending moment a part at least of the vertical thrust of the boot downwards sensed by the sensor (60). The linking means (43, 44) comprise calibrating means (43, 44, 55) for inducing a prestress. The linking means have, furthermore, a sensor (60) sensitive to the presence or the absence of the boot in order automatically to control the calibrating means in accordance with the presence or the absence of the boot. The invention also relates to a ski brake. The brake arms are carried by one of the levers (44) constituting the linking and calibrating means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hardware electronic ASIC prototyper which enables integrated circuits or ASICs to be emulated so that it is possible to test the chip to be created in the later hardware environment. Emulation systems are known which consist of a matrix of configurable logic blocks, configurable I/O cells and a configurable wiring. These systems only emulate the functional behaviour of the desired circuit.   According to the invention, adding programmable delay units into the logic cells and using programmable switching networks with delay units for interconnecting the logic modules formed from a plurality of logic cells has the result that the time characteristic of an ASIC is taken into consideration in the emulation so that complete emulation is achieved. By deliberately setting all inputs to a defined logic state, an error emulation can be achieved. The detection of "race" problems is possible by means of the programmable delay units. <IMAGE>

Said microspheres are characterized by the absence of surface active agents and of constituents other than the optionally present active substance and the polymer constituents. The microspheres can be obtained by using, as the polymer matrix, a poly(hydroxyacid) of high molecular weight exceeding 20,000 and a poly(hydroxyacid) having a molecular weight of less than 5,000. The incorporation of said microspheres as drugs is beneficial in preventing the induced toxicity associated with microspheres of the past caused by the residual surface active agent.

Abstract: An improved configuration of refrigerant tubing and means for attaching the tubing to the centrifuge chamber. The tubing is preformed to provide a flat contact surface against the outside surface of the centrifuge chamber. The centrifuge tubing is tightly wound around the centrifuge chamber in a continuous fashion including a flat spiral at the base of the centrifuge chamber. For the section of the tubing in contact with the vertical cylindrical wall of the centrifuge chamber, the pressure for maintaining contact pressure between the flat surface of the tubing and the chamber wall is provided by the tension in the wrapping of the tubing. For the section of the tubing at the base of the centrifuge chamber, contact pressure may be provided by a clamping mechanism. To further enhance heat transfer between the refrigerant coils and the centrifuge chamber, a high heat conductive epoxy may be applied between the tubing and the centrifuge chamber surface. Due to the tight winding of the tubing and the flat contact surface between the refrigerant tubing and the chamber wall, there is optimum use of surface area for maximum and efficient heat transfer between the chamber and the tubing.

Abstract: A shielded flexible cable includes a first shielding grid having conductive elements formed as squares. A second shielding grid is also formed as squares. The two shielding grids are positioned with respect to each other so that the vertices of the squares of the two grids are respectively offset from each other in each of two directions by one-half the diagonal distance between the vertices of the squares. Electrical signal conductors are positioned between the two grids along lines extending between the vertices of the squares to maintain a controlled impedance of the signal lines. A circuit board includes a reference plane configured as a grid having conductive elements formed as squares. Electrical signal conductors are positioned in a plane adjacent said grid. The decreased percent copper used to construct the grid increases the characteristic impedance of the signal conductors without increasing the thickness of the circuit board, without decreasing the width or thickness of the conductors and without using nonhomogeneous or nonstandard dielectrics. The circuit board provides the use of an increased range of impedance in signal conductors that permits the transfer of signals without degradation of the signal quality or loss of signal density, while providing an acceptable shielding capability.
