Abstract: The stairway handrail consists of straight handrail sections (22.2,22.3), the end faces (40.2,40.3) of which are cut off vertically. Between them, corner pieces (25) are provided. The latter have, in their connection side faces, indentations (30.1,30.2) with a width corresponding to the thickness of the handrail sections. The indentations do not reach as far as the top cover face (31).

Abstract: A gaming apparatus comprising a plurality of gaming machines is provided. Each machine can be operated individually, the player upon each start of the machine endeavouring to reach a predetermined objective by his skill in propelling a ball into apertures to reach a predetermined total before a counting device in the machine which is started upon starting of the machine, reaches that total. The player thus competes against the machine in individual operation thereof. In the embodiment described the counting device is a clock hand (26) which sweeps across a clock face (24). The players performance is indicated by a clock hand (28) sweeping across the same clock face. The clock face and both hands are visible to the player to provide excitement. All of the machines can be ganged so that the players play against each other, but in this case the counting devices of the respective machines are rendered inoperative and the winner is the first player to make his clock hand reach the predetermined total.

Granted: 1991-03-13
Abstract: The system includes vertical posts with apertured disks secured thereto at intervals, coupling heads, wedge-like keys, scaffold pipes, coupling head extensions, and tank-link heads. Each coupling head has a horizontal slot receiving an apertured disk when the head is pushed into mounted position thereon, and has top and bottom key-receiving openings above and below such slot. A wedge-like key extends down through the top key-receiving opening, through a disk aperture, then through the bottom key-receiving opening, fastening the coupling head to the disk. Coupling heads for horizontal scaffold pipes have extensions insertable into the pipes. Diagonal scaffold pipes have tang-link heads, whose tank has an aperture for a pivot provided on an associated coupling head. Conventionally, the disks, coupling heads and pipes are all made of steel, the disks of 9 mm thickness and 122 mm diameter. The disclosed lighter-weight version employs disks and scaffold pipes made not of steel, but of light metal such as aluminum. The coupling heads although still of steel are differently designed, employing a smaller volume of material and thus lighter in weight. The disks are of 10 mm thickness and 124 mm diameter, producing a 33% loadability increase. Numerous other dimensional and configurational modifications of the standard elements compensate for any structural strength inferiority compared to the standard elements, but the herein disclosed lighter-weight versions thereof remain compatible with, and can be freely intermixed with, the heavier-weight standard elements.

Abstract: A system for generating a cryptographic key (k) shared by entities (A, B) that establish communications, which is particularly called a key predistribution system. A center algorithm (G) which the center only knows is formed under the conditions determined among a plurality of entities that establish communications under the control of the center, and discriminators (yA, yB) of the entities (A, B) are adapted to the center algorithm to form secret algorithms (XA, XB) specific to each of the entities. Then the secret algorithms are loaded onto cipher forming means (2, 3) such as IC cards. The cipher forming means (2, 3) are mounted on the individual entities (A, B), and the discriminators (yB, yA) of the other entities are applied to each other to calculate the cryptographic key (k), thereby forming the shared cryptographic key. The invention further discloses a system of communications using the above-mentioned shared cryptographic key.

Title: Method and device for measuring the eccentricity of pneumatic vehicle tires
IPC: G01M17/02
Filed: 1988-05-24
Granted: 1992-03-11
Abstract: A method of measuring the eccentricity of a pneumatic vehicle tyre which in the operating state is fastened with its beads to the radially inner periphery of a rim. So that the measurement can be carried out for a predetermined tyre contour with side walls swung out to the side to a certain extent, it is proposed that the measurement of the eccentricity at the tyre (8) be carried out with tyre side walls (9) and beads (10) swung out to the side, and that an adjustable axial force be introduced to the tyre beads (10) during the measurement of the eccentricity, which axial force is identical to the product of the annular area of bead-location rings (1) which is projected in the radial direction and the air pressure prevailing in the test space. A device for carrying out the method is characterised by a measuring rim with two bead-location rings (1) which are displaceable relative to one another in the axial direction and of which at least one is also freely displaceable during the measurement of the eccentricity. <IMAGE>

Title: Cementing oil and gas wells using converted drilling fluid
IPC: C04B28/04
Filed: 1988-12-09
Granted: 1992-12-02
Abstract: Wellbores are cemented with a cement composition formed from drilling fluid occupying the wellbore by circulating a quantity of drilling fluid mixed with a cement material and a dispersant such as a sulfonated styrene copolymer with or without an organic acid into the wellbore to displace the drilling fluid and to continuously convert the drilling fluid into the cement composition. The cement composition may be recirculated through the space in the wellbore to completely evacuate any drilling fluid not converted to cement so as to minimize any faults in the cement composition occupying the wellbore. A preflush composition containing the dispersant and being rheologoically compatible with both the drilling fluid and the drilling fluid converted to cement slurry may be used as a displacement fluid.

Granted: 1990-08-22
Abstract: The disclosed bonding pitch for electrodes, having a softening point C.I.A. comprised between 80 DEG  C. and 150 DEG  C., a concentration of quinoline-insoluble substances higher or equal to 4% by weight, a concentration of  alpha + beta  resins comprised between 28 and 40% by weight, and a fixed carbon content determined according to the standard ISO 6998, at least equal to 51% by weight, is characterized by a vitreous transition domain  DELTA Tg, determined by differential calorimetric analysis, at the most equal to 50 DEG  C. In order to produce such a pitch, a pitch having a content of quinoline-insoluble substances lower than 4% by weight is subjected to a treatment by waves having a frequency between 0.9 and 300 GHz. Such treatment makes possible the increase of the carbon content of the pitch while preserving a good affinity to the coke and significantly decreasing its vitreous transitional domain.
