Abstract: Un procédé et un appareil (10) permettent d'introduire un gaz sous haute pression partielle dans un liquide. L'appareil possède un dispositif de transfert de gaz (12) comportant une enceinte (14) laquelle comprend une région amont (16) et une région avale (18) entre lesquelles se trouve une région (20) de contact entre le gaz et le liquide ayant des éléments de contact (22) tels que des fibres microporeuses creuses.

Le réservoir (36) de gaz a une pression hydrostatique afin de pousser le liquide au travers des éléments de contact (22) et de propulser le gaz autour des éléments de contact afin que le gaz ne se diffuse pas au travers des éléments de contact. Le liquide enrichi par le gaz est ensuite conduit vers un canal (44) d'écoulement à haute résistance pour amener l'écoulement vers un site d'interêt sans effervescence, sans formation de bulles ni disruption importante de l'écoulement laminaire.

Abstract: A power transmission system comprises planetary gears including: first and second integrated pinion gears made of helical gears of different diameters; a carrier bearing the first and second pinion gears rotatably; a ring gear made of a helical gear meshing with the first pinion gear; and a sun gear made of a helical gear meshing with the second pinion gear. The power is transmitted, by using one of the carrier, the ring gear and the sun gear as a reaction element, between the remaining two elements through the first and second pinion gears. The relation between the angles of torsion of the tooth traces of the first and second pinion gears is so set on the basis of the ratio between the diameters of the two helical gears that the first and second pinion gears may not exert a thrust force upon another member.

Abstract: A casing of a device has a pair of vertical side
walls, and a plurality of vertically arranged optical
discs. Each side wall has a vertical guide slit. A
disc player has two pins projected from opposite sides.
Elevation plates are horizontally slidably mounted on
the vertical side walls at outsides thereof. Each of
the elevation plates has a V-shaped guide slit
comprising an upper diagonal slit and a lower diagonal
slit. Each pin is slidably engaged with vertical guide
slit and with the V-shaped guide slit so that disc
player is held at a vertical position. The elevation
plates are driven in a horizontal direction which is
changed to an opposite direction at a joint between the
upper diagonal slit and the lower diagonal slit. Thus,

Abstract: An improved messaging system for transmitting message information to a
plurality of recipients comprises the steps of: sending a first message including the
predetermined message information to a first recipient address of a first recipient on a
list of recipients; updating, after the completion of the step of sending, the list of
recipients to create an updated recipient list, the updating being implemented
independently of the first recipient at the first recipient address; and sending a second
message, including the predetermined message information to an address
corresponding to a next recipient selected from the updated recipient list. The method
can iteratively repeat the steps of updating and sending the message to thereby
transmit messages to a plurality of recipients with the list of recipients being
dynamically updated after each message is sent. The recipients may have an
opportunity to modify or add to the message before the message is sent on to the next
recipient.

Abstract: A pucker free garment seam providing a garment with a tailored and
wrinkle free appearance. The pucker free seam and method for production
utilizes a bonding strip which contains at least a thermal adhesive component
which is inserted between first and second garment components along the
seam and a sewing thread is used to bind the components together into a
seam. A sufficient amount of heat and pressure is applied to the seam which
causes the adhesive of the bonding strip to flow onto the surfaces of the
garment components thereby creating a compressed seam and permanently
bonding the first and second garment components together along the seam to
eliminate puckering associated with shrinkage of the sewing thread.

Abstract: In the case that impelling of a supply connector 2
is stopped before the supply connector 2 is completely
fitted to a vehicle inlet 1, the supply connector 2 is
returned to a half fitting position by a biasing force
exerted in a compression coil spring 20. In this position,
plunger balls engage with recesses 72 to temporarily
maintain the supply connector 2 at the position in the
vehicle inlet. Thus, an operator finds that the supply
connector is under an incomplete state. Since the supply
connector 2 is temporarily held in the vehicle inlet 1,
the connector 2 is prevented from falling down from the
inlet 1. 
     A connector housing 3 is provided on its upper
face with a flap lid 8 to close an opening of the connector
housing 3. A torsion spring 11 is mounted on a support
axle 10 of the flap lid 8 to normally bias the flap lid 8
in an open direction. The connector housing 3 is provided
on a lower portion with locking means 100 which holds the
flap lid 8 at a closed position. The flap lid 8 is opened
when the locking means 100 are released and the flap lid 8
is closed when the locking means 100 are actuated. 
     A connector housing 19 is provided on an area
around a central lower earth terminal 213 with a reversed
U-shaped groove 231. The groove 231 prevents a water
film from spreading on a fitting face 215a of the supply
connector 2, even if rainwater adheres to the face 215a,
thereby preventing short circuiting between terminals. 
     A cylindrical cap 320 is attached to a connecting
mouth 304 of a cavity 302. A positioning hole 323 in
the cap 320 encloses a front end of a terminal 310 with
a little clearance. Even if an external force is applied
to the terminal 310, it is held coaxially in the cavity 302
without shifting the end of the
terminal 310 in the cavity
302. A mating terminal can be smoothly coupled to a
fitting portion 311 on the front end of the terminal 310.

photo-electric elements arranged one- or
two-dimensionally to obtain image information with a
high S/N ratio by solving the problem that errors

correction and the conditions set for actual
photographing operation. The image sensing apparatus
includes a means for storing a photographic output in
the photographic mode, a means for storing photographic
conditions in the photographic mode, means for
obtaining a correction output in the correction mode
which is activated by using the stored photographic
conditions, and a means for correcting the photographic
output by using the correction output. With this
