Abstract: Operating device for automatically unlocking and opening a window leaf (1), including a moving wing (3) and, possibly, a semi-fixed wing (4) in contact with the edge of the moving wing when the window is closed and able to be immobilised temporarily facing the fixed frame (2) of the window case which receives the two wings by means of a blocking mechanism (9). This device is characterised in that it includes, inside a housing (10) of the semi-fixed wing or of the frame, an operating knob (8) able to release an operating rod (18) subjected to the action of a triggering spring (21) and acting in vertical displacement over a cam (25) mounted so that it can pivot about a horizontal spindle (26) supported by the semi-fixed wing or the frame, this cam including a notch (27) for receiving a catch (28) carried by the moving wing, so that the pivoting of the cam inside the housing under the effect of the operating rod controlled by the knob, results in a force on the latch of the moving wing, separating it from the semi-fixed wing, itself eventually released by releasing the blocking mechanism. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method relates to the operating of a DC arc furnace provided with at least one bottom electrode comprising a metal busbar (current-supply bar) (5) passing through the bottom (3) of the furnace and surrounded by a lining (14) of compact refractory material comprising at least one shell ring (13) whose upper end comes into contact with the molten metal in the furnace. During restarting of the furnace after shutdowns, a self-contained sacrificial annular part (20) made of refractory concrete and having a flattened general shape is placed on the upper end (13') of the said shell ring, which part extends the said shell ring upwards and is intended to be placed in contact with the molten metal instead of the said shell ring. The method applies in particular to DC arc furnaces for the production of steel and aims to reduce wear of the refractory parts surrounding the bottom electrode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A mirror assembly for use in vehicles has a support bracket which provides an adjustment mechanism to position the mirror under a substantially constant clamping pressure over a wide range of ambient temperature conditions. The support bracket includes a generally spherical socket (44) which receives a ball cup (122) substantially enclosing a ball member (46) extending from the mirror. A spring (124) forces the cup and ball member into the socket and causes the cup to compress about the ball member. The bracket may be used on both header- and windshield-mounted mirror assemblies.

Abstract: Un appareil électronique miniaturisé non seulement permet de sélectionner un nombre prédéterminé d'appareils miniaturisés parmi une pluralité d'appareils miniaturisés éloignés les uns des autres, mais aussi de transmettre des informations supplémentaires aux utilisateurs des appareils électroniques miniaturisés. En même temps, il permet d'effectuer le cas échéant une sélection parmi des possibilités diverses de jeu. L'appareil électronique a la forme d'une carte de crédit ou d'une plaquette et reçoit, par une unité de téléréception de signaux constituée d'un élément piézoélectrique, des signaux acoustiques émis par un appareil de télévision et contenant au moins un jeu de données. L'appareil décode les signaux reçus et les transmet à un microprocesseur qui compare les signaux décodés à des données enregistrées de base ou d'identification. Lorsque les signaux coïncident au moins partiellement avec les données enregistrées, un signal d'avertissement et un autre signal porteur d'informations sont générés.

When the sliding body (20) is slid in a vertical direction, the entire flashlight extends or contracts. A colorless transparent plate (24) and a reflecting plate (25) are provided within a cylindrical portion (21) for an illuminating lamp, such that when the entire flashlight contracts, a bulb (40) is positioned within the cylindrical portion (21) for an illuminating lamp to permit us to use the flashlight as an upward (in the figure) illuminating lamp. When the entire flashlight extends, scattered light is provided by a cylindrical portion (22) which is for a signal lamp and is formed of a red, transparent plastics, so that the flashlight can be used as a signal lamp. The cylindrical portion (22) for a signal lamp is formed inside with a groove (22C), in which an engagement projection (13C) of a rotary switch (13) is fitted. Rotation of the sliding body (20) can cause an ON/OFF action of the rotary switch (13) to thereby turn on and off the bulb (40).

Abstract: In a radio communications system having at least one base station, the base station including a plurality of transceivers, a control method and apparatus includes the steps of comparing the number of transceivers in a call state to a first predefined number. If the number of call state transceivers is greater than the first predefined number, then all of the idle transceivers except at least one are switched off. If the number of call state transceivers is less than the first predefined number, then all excess idle transceivers are switched off. Also, after switching off the first subset of the plurality of transceivers, a second subset may be switched off after waiting a predetermined time period. The number of operational transceivers in the second subset is less than in the first subset. To further reduce the power consumption of the base station, a first group of radio communications system subscribers is designated as a high priority group, and a second group of subscribers is designated as a low priority group. The system is designed to grant service to the high priority group, while denying it to the low priority group. The control methods and apparatus are useful, for example, for reducing power consumption and/or traffic handling capacity of a base station.

Abstract: The present invention generates a fuel gas which generates limited amounts of nitrogen oxides at the time of combustion, drastically increases a combustion duration time of a fuel per unit volume and can effect high temperature combustion. A primary fuel gas generated by burning a liquid fuel such as an alcohol in a fuel layer (20) of a combustion chamber (18) is mixed with a pressure air jetted from an air nozzle (16) inside a gas stream pipe (14). At this time, surrounding air entrapped in jet air forms a swirl stream. The flow passage sectional area of the primary fuel gas is first contracted with respect to the flow passage sectional area of jet air from the air nozzle (16) and is then increased, so that eddy flows occur at portions where the changes of the flow passage sectional area occur. Hydrocarbons in the primary fuel gas are decomposed into carbon and hydrogen having high activity due to the reaction of the primary fuel gas with air, and a fuel gas capable of combustion with less nitrogen oxides at a high temperature is produced.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low-profile balloon catheter which is extremely maneuverable and capable of dilating an occluded artery with minimal risk of angina. The catheter is highly maneuverable because its distal section has substantially coaxial inner and outer tubes which are in relatively tight mechanical communication at their proximal end and their distal ends are mechanically connected only via the balloon. As a result, the inner distal tube is relatively independent of the outer distal tube. The proximal section of the catheter is relatively stiff and preferably has two lumens therethrough. One lumen, which is substantially larger, is used to actively perfuse oxygenated blood, drugs, or dyes distal to the tip of the catheter at flowrates up to about 100 cc/min. Preferably, the inner surface of this first perfusion lumen has a shape at its inner surface that permits the second, smaller lumen to "nest" adjacent to and substantially within said inner surface of said first perfusion lumen. This "nesting" relationship between the two lumens maximizes the area of the proximal section that can be used for perfusion and insertion of the guidewire and inflation fluid through the second lumen. In order to provide a flexible, more maneuverable distal tip for the catheter, the first perfusion lumen is in fluid communication with an inner, substantially coaxial tube in the distal section of the catheter. This inner tube extends through an outer tube that is mechanically connected to the catheter and to the proximal end of the balloon. The inner tube extends through the balloon, which is mechanically connected to the inner tube at its distal end, and then empties the contents from the first perfusion lumen at the distal end of the catheter.
