Abstract: The device is used to protect telescopic shafts, which are especially articulated shafts on the drives of agricultural equipment, and has inner (9) and outer (8) tubes which can slide relative to one another, and which are made from a synthetic material. The outer tube has at least three grooves on its inner surface (12), which open towards its longitudinal axis (5), and which are bounded by pairs of longitudinal ribs (13,14) which project from this surface, and which are distributed around its circumference. The outer tube also has at least one guide web (15) which projects longitudinally from its inner surface between each pair of ribs. The inner tube has guide ribs (16) which project radially from its outer surface (17), and whose number corresponds to that of the pairs of ribs on the outer tube. The ribs on the inner and outer tubes engage with one another with radial and circumferential clearance.

Abstract: The audio transmission system samples and digitizes the audio input and separates it into subbands defined for psychoacoustic factors. The signals are pre-amplified (46) and then quantized (48) and combined for transmission. The pre-amplification if performed by using a multiplier having a relationship with 2 k>.g(p). The g(p) function has binary patterns for different values of p=0,1 and 2. The pre-amplifier also generates an n-bit binary scale value identifier of 3k+p.

Abstract: Porphyrazine compounds having moieties substituted at the eight peripheral  beta -pyrrole positions are disclosed. The porphyrazine compounds have the general structural formula:   <IMAGE>   wherein M is H2 or a metal capable of complexing with the pyrrole nitrogen atoms, and A, B, C and D are independently selected from the group consisting of a thio moiety, an amino moiety, an oxo moiety, a phospho moiety, a seleno moiety, a telluro moiety and a non-coordinating moiety, like a hydrocarbon moiety, with the proviso that not all of A, B, C and D are a thio moiety and that not all of A, B, C, and D are a hydrocarbon moiety. The porphyrazine compounds, depending on the identity of A, B, C and D, are capable of complexing one to four metal ions to the periphery of the porphyrazine to form a multimetallic porphyrazine. Multimetallic porphyrazine compounds can be linked by the peripherally-complexed metal ions to form a linear, i.e., ribbon, polymer or a two-dimension, i.e., sheet polymer. The porphyrazine compounds, and the multimetallic complexes and polymers derived therefrom, are useful in, or as, magnet materials, molecular metal conductors, pharmaceuticals, imaging agents, and dyes.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for modelling a dynamic process having a transfer component (2) with a linear dynamic behaviour. In order to model a non-linear dynamic process, e.g. a cock or a flap valve in a flow control system, a neuronal network (1) is connected in series with said transfer component (2). The neuronal network may be designed in such a way that it images the static, non-linear characteristic of the process. Here, the learning capacity of neuronal networks is an advantage. The invention is used in adaptive regulators.

Lorsqu'on chauffe la surface de paroi interne à une température inférieure au point de fusion de la couche interne, l'extrémité du tube fin subit une déformation orientée vers l'intérieur; lorsqu'on chauffe la surface de la paroi interne à une température supérieure au point de fusion, l'extrémité du tube fin subit une déformation vers l'extérieur.

Abstract: The invention refers to a prosthetic device for the application of simultaneous axial and transversal prestressing to obtain stable and elastic osteosynthesis of fractures. The device focuses on the concept of internal fixation with consideration for the natural frequency of the bone. The device for fracture fixation comprises a "tendon" (i.e, a tensionable wire) least one deformable element at the focus of the fracture, with the tendon and the deformable element being disposed almost parallel, whereby the device further comprises compression means to apply a compression force to the deformable element(s), so that the deformable element(s) deform(s) laterally. The device described can be used for fractures of long bones as well as for proximal femoral fractures. When used for long bone fractures, the device is an intramedullar flexible bar, with which we apply adjustable and measurable axial prestressing in order to compress the bone fragments and preload the bone. When used for proximal femoral fractures, the device is the same intramedullar flexible bar, with which we apply adjustable and measuring lateral prestressing while anchoring it on the femoral shaft exterior. By doing so we compress the bone fragments in order to neutralize the tension forces on the fracture and to avoid interfragmentary motions. The terms "axial prestressing" and "lateral prestressing" refer to axis long bone. The device allows us to achieve predetermined and measurable intramedullar transversal prestressing, which is a prerequisite for the application of axial prestressing.
