Date Jul. 13, 1995The invention relates to a tensioning system for an orthodontic outer brace, comprising resilient means, and coupling means for transmitting a tensile force exerted by the resilient means to the outer brace. The resilient means comprise a resilient element. The tensioning system comprises an arc-shaped guide path, along which the resilient element is freely movable. Coupling means can be fixed on one side to the outer brace and are connected to one another on the other side via the resilient element, in such a way that the resilient element moves along the guide path when the patient turns his or her head. The guide path can comprise a tube or an arc-shaped strip of metal or can be formed in some other way. Preferably, the guide path is so flexible that the arc shape thereof can be adjusted to the curvature of the patient's neck. The resilient element preferably has a spring constant which decreases or is zero on further extension after a specific spring force or extension is reached. The resilient element is preferably a helical spring.

Abstract: Processes for producing wholegrain food products are described. Wholegrains comprising 20 % to 100 % waxy grains are cooked in the presence of moisture so as to gelatinize the grains. The gelatinized grains are formed into a dough of suitable size and shape, dried to a water content from about 4 % to about 25 %, and thereafter expanded by heating. Also described are food products produced by these processes.

Abstract: Des unités mobiles radio (11, 21) communiquent avec leurs stations de base respectives selon un débit binaire inférieur au rythme de commutation d'un réseau fixe. Lorsqu'une communication est établie entre un usager mobile (11) et un abonné classique sur un système RTPC à 64 kbit/s ou entre un tel abonné classique et un récepteur (21), ces appels sont identifiés par des dispositifs de reconnaissance mobile/mobile (17 et 27) identifiant des trains binaires caractéristiques et traitant les appels de manière appropriée. Le premier dispositif de reconnaissance mobile/mobile (17) se situe sur un coté fixe de l'interface air (14) et, dans le cas d'un appel normal, achemine l'appel vers le décodeur numérique/loi-A (15). Le dispositif de reconnaissance mobile/mobile (27) identifie des appels provenant du commutateur à 64 kbit/s et, dans le cas d'un appel normal, achemine l'appel vers le décodeur numérique à débit binaire élevé/loi-A (26) comme décrit ci-dessus en faisant référence à la Figure 2. S'il est établi une communication entre deux usagers mobiles (11, 21), le dispositif de reconnaissance mobile/mobile (17), qui identifie cet appel, par exemple par reconnaissance de chiffres lors de la phase d'établissement de l'appel, dévie le signal reçu sur l'interface air (14) vers un dispositif d'insertion de bits (18). Celui-ci crée des trames à 64 kbits à partir de trames à 16 kbits en prévoyant trois bits nuls pour chaque bit reçu sur l'interface air. Les bits nuls, qui peuvent être des nombres aléatoires, comportent, de préférence, une configuration reconnaissable pouvant être décelée par un deuxième dispositif de reconnaissance mobile/mobile (27). Par insertion de bits, il est ainsi possible de produire un signal à 64 kbit/s à partir de signaux à 16 kbit/s avec un traitement minimal du signal et sans qu'il ne soit nécessaire de décoder en loi-A et en sens inverse. Le dispositif de reconnaissance mobile/mobile (27) qu'il est possible de commander soit par reconnaissance de l'identité du numéro demandeur, soit par reconnaissance de la configuration caractéristique de bits nuls dans un signal à insertion de bits émis par un dispositif d'insertion de bits (18), achemine le signal vers un dispositif d'enlèvement de bits (28) au lieu de l'acheminer vers le décodeur numérique à débit binaire élevé/loi-A (26). Le dispositif d'enlèvement de bits retire les bits nuls et ne transmet que les signaux ajustant le signal originel à 16 kbit/s. Ceux-ci sont alors transmis sur l'interface air (24) vers le décodeur numérique à faible débit binaire/loi-A (23) et, ainsi, vers le convertisseur A/N (22) et l'auditeur 21.

Abstract: Machine for competition and entertainment through impulse of an object with three-dimensional freedom of movement where two teams of participants play a game, one team on either side shooting an object with three-dimensional freedom of movement (1.3) to one another. The object moves on a gameboard (1.1) until one team fails to repel it, thus scoring points for one of the participants. Repulsion of the object originates from a repulsion sector (1.9) from which, by working a group of controls (1.7 and 1.8), movement can be provoked. The mobile object (1.3) has freedom within a zone where it is controlled by a mechanical system (1.6) where the movements are produced as a result of the action of motive elements which are governed by a control unit according to the position of the mobile object, the position of the repulsion sector and the operation of the controls.

Abstract: In order to detect conductor breaks, it is suggested that, in a first embodiment, a tuning circuit (15) with a dielectric constant be inductively coupled with a conductive loop located between two photovoltaic cells adjacent to each other in the solar module. The inductive coupling of the conductive loop (11) with the tuning circuit (15) causes the characteristics of the latter to change in the event of conductor breaks in the conductive loop (11). Such conductor breaks can be detected and displayed due to a measured value converter (19). In a second embodiment, the coupling elements are designed as printed circuits forming with the photovoltaic cells in the solar module an efficient capacitor. The changes occuring with the capacitor, resulting from conductor breaks and detectable as compared with conductors in good state, can be assessed for the purpose of detecting such breaks.
