Abstract: The invention relates to a seat which is arranged individually or in pairs in rows in vehicles, in particular in buses. The present invention is based on the object of providing a seat which offers the largest possible degree of leg room for the occupant of rear seats, has no hazards against which one could impact, is easier to get into and can be conveniently converted into a so-called reclining seat. This object is achieved in that the cross-member (6) of the lower frame (5) of the seat is accommodated in the front area of the seat (1) and serves as coupling base and/or support base for the seat (1) which protrudes to the rear, in that the cross-member (6) carries two counterbearing plates (8, 9) for elements (cf. 12) which are intermediate with respect to the seat (1), which plates are distanced from one another, positioned perpendicularly and lie symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis (10) of the seat (1). - Fig. 1 <IMAGE>

Abstract: PTC element comprises at least one body (10), provided with two parallel large surfaces, of an electrically conductive polymer composition with a positive temperature coefficient and two electrodes. At least one of the parallel surfaces on the body, or on one of the bodies, of polymer composition is adapted to make free contact with an electrode (11) or with a parallel surface of another body of electrically conductive polymer composition. A pressure device is provided to exert on the electrodes a pressure directed perpendicular to the parallel surfaces on the body, or bodies, of polymer composition. The pressure device is preferably provided with pressure-exerting devices (15, 16, 17, 17a, 17b) with the ability to be resilient. After changing from a low resistance to a high resistance state, the PTC element returns to the initial resistance state and is thus reusable after having been subjected to short-circuit currents. The parallel surfaces on the body, or the bodies, of polymer composition may be concentric.

Abstract: A method for producing a soil improvement material for agricultural purposes is proposed for the utilisation of animal and human excreta and is environmentally compatible and economic. The products to be processed, such as faeces, dung, slurry, sewage sludge, are treated with a mixture of polymers and acids, and subsequently gypsum, which is in any case produced as waste material, is added to the homogenised product. The mixed product is then subjected to heating. The resulting waste air is preferably biologically purified. The resulting product is outstandingly suitable as fertiliser for agricultural purposes.

Abstract: A laparoscopic trocar (10) with a selectively lockable sleeve (12) positioning means is provided. The sleeve may be selectively fixed to an abdominal wall (78) by means of a bumper (44) in cooperation with a balloon (40) mounted on the distal end of the sleeve. After the trocar and the distal end of the sleeve are inserted into the abdomen, the trocar is withdrawn from the sleeve and the balloon is inflated by a syringe through a balloon inflation duct. The sleeve includes ratchets (60) on its outer surface, and the bumper has a ratchet tooth in its inner channel. The bumper is thus free to slide over the ratchets in the direction of the balloon in order to clamp the abdominal wall between the bumper and the balloon. The ratchet tooth insures that the bumper will not move backward along the sleeve, and a hand-free conduit for insertion of surgical instruments into the abdominal cavity is thereby created. Means for releasing the bumper and deflating the balloon are also provided to permit removal of the sleeve from the abdomen.

An electrochemiluminescent embodiment is also provided where the electrochemiluminescent substance can be dissolved in the solid polymer electrolyte. A method of patterning the electrolyte layer to form relatively nonconductive borders around each of the pairs by selective exposure of the electrolyte layer in the region of the border to electromagnetic radiation to cause permanent change in the chemical composition of the electrolyte so that the exposed border regions are rendered relatively non-conductive is also provided. An electrically reconfigurable photomask having an area comprised of an arrangement of electrochromic covered electrode pairs constituting pixels, the opacity and transmissivity of which may be controlled by application of an electrical bias to yield complete control over the transmissivity and opacity of each pixel of the areas, is also provided.

Abstract: Les sels adjuvants détergents à l'oxodisuccinate-2,2' (ODS), notamment l'oxodisuccinate-2,2' de tétrasodium, sont difficiles à sécher et ont tendance à absorber de l'eau à cause de l'hygroscopicité de l'oxodisuccinate-2,2'. Cependant, on a mis au point des compositions détergentes granulées améliorées et contenant de l'ODS, au moyen d'un procédé de coagglomération aqueuse d'ODS et de zéolite, l'aggloméré ainsi obtenu étant remarquablement stable et non hygroscopique. On peut ajouter d'autres ingrédients détergents tels qu'un décolorant au perborate, des tensio-actifs ou analogue, en les mélangeant à sec aux agglomérés pour former des détergents granulés finis. On a mis au point à la fois un procédé d'agglomération, des agglomérés à l'ODS, et des compositions détergentes granulées les contenant.

Abstract: A system (10) and methods of use for determining the level of a body of liquid (16) in a storage tank, irrespective of the specific gravity of that liquid. The system (10) comprises a pressure transducer (22) and an elongated tubular, flexible sheath (24). An operating liquid (26) of lower specific gravity than the body of liquid (16) is disposed within the sheath (24). The transducer (22) is also disposed within the sheath adjacent the bottom end. The sheath (24) is immersed in the body of liquid (16) so that its top end (28) is above the surface of the liquid. The pressure applied to the sheath (24) by the liquid (16) causes the sheath to collapse to a reduced internal cross sectional area. whereupon the operating liquid migrates up the sheath to form a very thin column (44). The operating liquid forming a pool (46) is located at the top of the very thin column (44). Thus the sheath expands outward adjacent the surface (16A) of the body of liquid to retain that pool. The pressure transducer provides a signal representing the pressure applied thereto by the combined height of the operating liquid column (44) and the operating liquid pool (46). This signal may be used to calculate the height of the body of liquid (16). An air vent (52) may be provided to vent the transducer to compensate for atmospheric pressure changes.

Abstract: A low-cost, highly-responsive temperature sensor has a thermistor element surface-mounted in a circuit defined by an electrically-conducting layer of a three-layer circuit substrate to be in close thermal coupling to a metal base layer on an opposite side of the substrate. The base layer is adapted to be disposed in heat-collecting relation to a surface whose temperature is to be monitored. An intermediate layer of the substrate has a binder electrically insulating the thermistor from the metal base layer and has thermally-conducting particles dispersed in the binder to improve thermal coupling of the thermistor to the heat-collecting substrate base layer. The circuit defines terminal pads surface-mounting the thermistor element at one end of the substrate and defines interconnected terminal pads at an opposite end of the substrate which are connected to device lead wires in substantial thermal isolation from the thermistor element.
