Abstract: De-icing or anti-icing compositions for aircraft, essentially containing glycols, crosslinked polyacrylic acid, a nonionic surfactant composed of alkoxylated C10-C20-alcohols, corrosion inhibitors, a mixture of NaOH and KOH, an oxidation stabiliser and water. The compositions effect a smaller loss of lift owing to an improvement in the flow behaviour on the wings while maintaining a holdover time against refreezing of at least 30 min.

Abstract: A one-way valve (22) positioned between the nozzle (14) and container of a disposable douche, which is opened and closed by axial movement of the nozzle (14) relative to the container, permits discharge of the douche contents (24) without permitting backflow. The neck (18) of the container opening has an intermediate cap (16) with axial discharge holes (40) and a flexible valve disk (22) overlying such holes (40) all within the bore (54) of the base (20) of the nozzle (14). In the closed position, the inner shoulder (56) of the nozzle base (20) sits against the flexible valve disk (22) preventing discharge of the contents (24) through the discharge openings (40) of the intermediate cap (16). With the axial displacement of the nozzle (14) away from the main body of the container, the valve disk (22), freed of the internal restraining shoulders (56) of the nozzle base (20), can flex to permit flow of the contents (24) of the container into the nozzle (14). The nozzle base's bore (54) and the intermediate container cap (16) have slidable inner fitting surfaces to prevent fluid discharge therebetween, such that all fluid is discharged out of appropriate nozzle openings in the free end of the nozzle (14).

Abstract: In a thermal drop-on-demand ink jet print head having an array of resistive heater elements (12) connected between a common electrode (15), and an individual one of an array of control electrodes (16), each of the resistive heater elements comprises a plurality of portions arranged so that a small elongate opening (25) is provided at the middle of the heater element where no resistive material is present. When each of the resistive heater elements is energized, a bubble is formed at each of the plurality of portions.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a first interconnect assembly and a second interconnect assembly which detachably connects to the first interconnect assembly. One of the interconnect assemblies includes a shutter for blocking an optical path. The first and second assemblies have surfaces which mechanically co-act to drive the shutter away from the optical path. An optical fiber is connected to one of these assemblies. 
     In the preferred embodiment, the first assembly (13) forms a plug and the second assembly (15) forms an adapter, such as a socket. The socket assembly includes a shutter (183) which is spring-biased to a normally closed position. In this normally closed position, the shutter blocks passage of laser light to an optical fiber (79). The plug assembly includes an appendage (25) having a camming surface (73) which co-acts with a camming surface (142) on the socket assembly so as to drive the shutter to an open position which permits transmission of laser light to the optical fiber.

Abstract: A cable attachment assembly for coupling and uncoupling a cable (52) to a throttle control system partially encased within a housing (20). The housing (20) includes an opening (32) aligned with a cable drum (26) and a protrusion (36) adjacent the opening (32). A cable cover assembly (48) includes an integrally formed collar (86) having a resilient member (92) formed thereon with a first flap (96) at its end. A second flap (110) is integrally formed on the collar adjacent the first flap. During rotation in an assembly process, the resilient member (92) is compressed as the first flap (96) rotates along the protrusion (36). As the first flap (96) passes the protrusion (36), the resilient member (92) is outwardly deflected thereby locking the protrusion between the first and second flaps (96,110) and, accordingly, locking the cable cover assembly (48) to the housing (20).

Abstract: The motor-driven kinetic splint for treating the lower limbs and the hip joint is characterised in that the carriage is mounted to be freely displaceable and the lower leg support with foot-rest is pivotably connected to the carriage. 
<??>In this arrangement, the pivoting of the lower leg support and the foot-rest is undertaken via a spindle which engages directly on the foot-rest. The carriage is freely displaceable on guide rails of the sub-frame, the guide rails expediently extending towards the patient in an inclined manner. The calf support of the lower leg support is adjustable, so that the correct support can be selected for each patient. The heel support, however, is fixed. In this manner, the mechanical treatment approximates most closely to the kinetic exercise performed by hand, as the foot is held still and the limb is bent by pressure on the calf.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oil-sealed pre-vacuum pump on which the receiver is protected against aeration in the event of the pump being shut down in that in this state its expansion chamber is sealed vacuum tight on the atmosphere side. In order to achieve shutting off of the oil supply by the simplest possible means when the vacuum pump stops and at the same time to be able to precisely meter and shut off the gas supply necessary for silencing, an auxiliary pump 2 on the pump shaft is proposed which draws in oil through separate intake ducts 4 and 5, mixes it and forces it into the expansion chamber of the vacuum pump via a spring-loaded valve 7. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an optical disk reproducing apparatus for reproducing digital data from an optical disk, such as an audio compact disk and, above all, with such apparatus in which a continuous playback output may be produced even when track jump should occur due to vibrations or the like. With the optical disk reproducing apparatus according to the present invention, digital data detected from an optical disk are sequentially written in a RAM for subsequent reading so that data stored in the RAM continue to be read even on the occurrence of the track jump to provide a continuous playback output. On the other hand, the optical disk is reproduced at an increased speed for a predetermined time period after the light spot irradiating the optical disk resets to its original position from track jump to replenish the RAM with digital data.
