Abstract: An improved process for producing integral, composite
handles (10) having cushioned comfort grips, for
appliances such as electric steam irons, comprising a
first step of injection molding a one-piece handle
substrate (11) of strong, rigid, resinous composition
having the desired predetermined shape and design,
including a recessed, wrap-around area (14) corresponding
to the area of the handle which will be gripped by the
hand of the eventual user of appliance. The present
process comprises a second step of injection molding an
integral, outer, soft, contoured layer (20) of foamed
resin into the recessed, wrap-around area of the rigid
plastic handle substrate (11), to form a smooth,
compressible, comfort grip surface area of the composite
handle (10) for engagement with the hand of the user.

Abstract: In a tuning method, a commanded-tuning loop (CTL) tunes a receiver (REC) on the basis of a tuning command (TC) and a self-tuning loop (STL) tunes the receiver on the basis of a reception signal. To resolve a tuning conflict between the loops, one of the loops (CTL or STL) is calibrated (CAL) with respect to the other loop (STL or CTL). Preferably, the commanded-tuning loop (CTL) is in an active state when the self-tuning loop (STL) is in-lock. This allows good reception under dynamic reception conditions.

Abstract: L'invention concerne la production de corps noirs produisant des leurres thermiques. On décrit des compositions, lesquelles, une fois brûlées, produisent un rayonnement de corps noir. Ces compositions comprennent généralement de 40 à 70 % environ de métal tel que du magnésium, de l'aluminium, de 10 à 40 % environ de polytétrafluoroéthylène, et de 8 à 30 % environ de liant. Ce qui est important au bon fonctionnement de la présente invention, c'est la production de carbone lors de la combustion de la composition. En conséquence, on utilise en tant que liant des thermoplastiques polyaromatiques, tels que du polystyrène et du diméthylphtalate. L'invention concerne également des procédés de production de leurres thermiques à base de corps noir.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for CD
reproduction with variable speed or direction, in
particular devices compatible with a CD player, such as,
for example, DVD players which are likewise suitable for
the playback of CDs, or corresponding CD-ROM drives.
The invention is based on the fact that the data or
information read from the CD are read into a buffer
memory at a rate which, as a rule, is higher than is
required for real-time reproduction. Data read into the
buffer memory (RAM) in a continuous sequence are then
used for CD reproduction with variable speed by means of
subsampling or oversampling. For the purpose of reverse
reproduction, groups of subcode words are successively
read from the buffer memory by changing the order within
the groups and are reproduced as a continuous
reproduction data stream. Preferably, assemblies present
in a reproduction device are used for CD reproduction
with variable speed or direction and an improved
comprehensibility of the reproduced information and also
more accurate finding of a desired reproduction position
are achieved.

Abstract: A power-assisted wheelbarrow applies an assisting
function using an electric motor. Handle shafts connecting
to the rear end portions of two handles are covered with
grips which are allowed to move axially relative to the
handle shafts. More than one steel balls are fitted between
the handle shafts and the grips. At the sides of the grips
or the handles, pushing force detecting sensors are disposed
for detecting the axial movements of the grips relative to
the handle shafts in accordance with the pushing forces
applied to the grips. The operation of the electric motor
is controlled on the basis of the detected values of the two
pushing force detecting sensors. As a result, the assisting
force by the electric motor can be effectively applied to
the wheel of a manual-push type single-wheeled carrier so
that manual labor can be reduced while minimizing the
consumption of a battery.

Abstract: A heavy oil emulsified fuel combustion apparatus is
provided in which steam bubbles generated in the pressure
reduction operation for dewatering a heavy oil emulsified fuel
before combustion are prevented from mixing into a dewatered
heavy oil side resulting in lowering of a dewatering
efficiency. 
     In a heavy oil emulsified fuel combustion boiler, a
heavy oil emulsified fuel 101 is heated by a heater 110 and
dewatered by a flusher 120 and then introduced into a boiler
10 for combustion, and water 152 obtained by the dewatering is
sent to a water utilizing system of the boiler. The heavy oil
emulsified fuel 102 is heated in a high pressure and then
introduced into a pressure reducing device 200 to be applied
by a pressure reduction by multi-stage orifices 201 for
dewatering. The pressure reduction is done with a pressure
reduction per stage of 1 to 3 ata.

Abstract: A cocking trigger mechanism is disclosed. The cocking trigger mechanism includes a hammer element that is moveable between a front position and a rear position, and a drive part that is moveable between an uncocked position and a cocked position. The drive part is arranged to entrain the hammer element during its movement into the uncocked position. A striker spring biases the drive part into the uncocked position. A trigger causes movement of the drive part against the force of the striker spring from the uncocked position to the cocked position and actuates its release. When the drive part is moved independently of the trigger into the cocked position, it is held in this position until subsequent operation of the trigger. The hammer element is connected to a return spring that forces it into a rest position that is situated near its front position as long as the trigger is not operated so that it always assumes a defined position.

external base station in which at least one set of
transmitter and receiver is communicating those RF signals,
converting their frequencies and/or protocol, and said radio
PBX is connected to one common antenna communicating with
the subscriber unit and/or one common antenna communicating

to convert said RF signals into base band signals and
modulate them into new RF signals by adapting said base band
signals between said transmitter and receiver. Moreover,
each transceiver is tailored and/or automatically assigned
for one of the Control trunk, Communication trunk, Local
Line trunk, Service trunk, and/or Incoming and Outgoing Line
trunk within a radio PBX. 
     The control trunk is provided to synchronize with an
external base station, and to control the control channel to
and from an external base station and/or subscriber unit
within a serving area. The communication trunk is provided
to connect the communications between said base station and
said subscriber units, and/or between the control trunk and
said subscriber units. The local line trunk is provided to
connect the communications between said subscriber units.
The service trunk provides 3-way call bridge, voice mail,
etc. The incoming and outgoing line trunk is provided to
connect the communications between telephone lines and said
subscriber units, and/or between telephone lines and
communication trunks. 
     The incoming and outgoing line trunk can be located
remotely and can be connected to said radio PBX and/or
communication trunks through open air propagation and/or
existing CATV cable network and/or coaxial cable network. 
     By the present invention, very cheap and higher traffic
capacity of a radio PBX can be realized. And moreover, the
higher efficiency in the channel usage can be ensured.
