Abstract: Une unité émettrice (11) est montée sur un skieur ou un sportif (U) pratiquant un sport analogue où la propulsion n'est pas assistée, de façon à se déplacer avec lui et émet des ondes ultrasonores ou électromagnétiques en direction du milieu fixe sur lequel se déplace le skieur ou autre sportif (U). Un élément de la même unité émettrice (11) détecte les ondes réfléchies par le milieu fixe. Un ordinateur calcule la vitesse du skieur ou autre sportif (U) à partir de la variation de fréquence (due à l'effet Doppler) des ondes réfléchies et actionne une unité d'affichage (24, 29), afin d'indiquer au skieur ou autre sportif la vitesse à laquelle il se déplace. Le système d'affichage comprend un écran porté sur la tête et comportant un générateur de caractères et un réflecteur semi-transparent dans lequel on peut voir le générateur de caractères, de sorte que l'indication de la vitesse apparaît superposée au décor normal dans la direction du regard de l'utilisateur.

Abstract: A shut-off valve for liquids and other substances to be attached to the outlet flange of a container, with a cylindrical valve body (2) which extends through the valve housing inclined at an acute angle to the vertical and whose cylindrical guide (14) ends in an upper elliptical opening of the inlet flange (12), with the face (18) of the valve body also exhibiting an elliptical circumference adjusted thereto. Connected to the lower side of guide (14) is a generally vertical cylindrical downpipe (16), and the valve body (2) is turned from its closed position blocking the valve passage by 180 DEG  via actuating means and then shifted axially until completely open. During the closing process, which involves the above process in reverse, the circumferential edge of the valve body shaves all material off the sealing ring (3) and the sealing surface (20) prior to reaching the closed position.

Title: Collecting means with fill indicator for lawn- or garden-maintenance apparatus
IPC: A01D43/063
Filed: 1989-03-13
Granted: 1991-03-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a collecting or catching device 2 for a landscape maintenance unit, for example a lawnmower 1, which is closed off on its rear discharge orifice 3. The side faces 6, 6a, rear face 7 and covering face 5 of the collecting or catching device 2 are made permeable to air. The abovementioned faces, but preferably the likewise air-permeable covering face 5, are assigned an indicator element 9 as a filling-level indicator. This is a sheet-like piece of fabric which is fastened, for example in the manner of a vane, to the covering face 5 by means of a lateral edge 10 functioning as a fastening point 11. As long as air flows through the trap bag 2, that is to say the latter can still receive material to be collected, the indicator element 9 lifts off from the covering face 5. It is thus deflected by the air stream, whereas when air can no longer enter the trap bag 2 it lies on the covering face 5 and thus indicates that the trap bag 2 is filled. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'appareil de sécurité électrique décrit est destiné à être connecté entre une source de courant électrique et une charge pour assurer une protection contre les chocs électriques dus par exemple à l'introduction par un enfant d'objets pointus ou d'aiguilles dans une prise potentiellement sous tension et contre les chocs provenant de conducteurs exposés (par exemple lors du sectionnement du câble d'un appareil électrique) connectés à la source de courant. Lorsqu'il est connecté à une source de courant électrique et ensuite à une charge, l'appareil applique d'abord une tension test ou un courant test faible pour déterminer si l'impédance de la charge est comprise dans une plage sûre qui exclut celle du corps humain, avant de connecter la charge au réseau ou à la source de courant électrique normale. Après qu'il ait été connecté à une charge d'impédance appropriée, l'appareil contrôle le courant prélevé par la charge, de sorte que, au cas où l'impédance de la charge varie vers une valeur non sûre pendant le fonctionnement d'un appareil électrique (à cause, par exemple, du sectionnement du conducteur amenant le courant à l'appareil électrique), l'appareil fonctionne de façon à déconnecter la charge de la source de courant électrique.

Abstract: The invention describes and claims the use of 1 alpha -Vitamin D2 as a medicament in the treatment of osteoporosis. Active Vitamin D3 compounds are ineffective or minimally effective at dosage ranges which can be tolerated by the human. At dosage ranges which are required to effectively restore lost bone mass, active Vitamin D3 compounds present a serious amount of toxicity in the form of hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. The inventors have found that 1 alpha -Vitamin D2 which is equally as active as 1 alpha -Vitamin D3 in stimulating intestinal calcium absorption can be safely administered at dosages above 3.0  mu g/day without stimulating bone reabsorption.

Abstract: A 3,000-10,000 angstrom thick cobalt-platinum (CoPt) magnetic film is deposited onto a chromium (Cr) or tungsten (W) overlayer on a substrate (16), or is deposited directly onto the substrate (16). The deposited film has an appreciable component of its C-axis, which is parallel to the [00.2] direction, lying in the plane of the film. The component of the C-axis lies in the plane of the film throughout the entire thickness of the CoPt film, and the resultant magnetic film has a coercivity from 1,300-2,000 oersteds, depending upon which, if any, overlayer is included. The method for producing the magnetic film of the invention teaches sputtering the overlayer onto a substrate (16) maintained approximately at room temperature in an atmosphere of inert gas. After adjusting the pressure of the gas and controlling the distance (40) between the CoPt (34) sputtering target and the substrate (16), CoPt is sputtered such that the depositing Co and Pt atoms are thermalized while traversing the distance between the target (34) and the substrate (16). The film as deposited is magnetically isotropic in the plane, and may be configured as a permanent magnet having a resultant magnetization in the plane by exposure to an external magnetizing field oriented along the film plane.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for editing half-inch tape used for home recording of video material applies pulse-width modulation to prerecorded synchronizing pulses in predetermined time intervals. The interval is started with an eleven-bit header that is compatible with that of a commercially available system known as the VASS system. Time blocks are then encoded by pulse-width modulation with information identifying the particular recording session and the number of elapsed seconds minutes and hours since the beginning of the session. A check code completes the modulation during the interval for television systems such as PAL and SECAM that are adapted for fifty-Hz operation. For systems such as NTSC that operate at sixty Hertz, a ten-bit dummy code is added to complete the two-second interval. The code is entered without writing over the leading edge of the prerecorded synchronizing pulse, allowing the timing of those pulses to continue without interruption. Using this system, an editor can locate any desired interval and can then locate an individual frame within that interval by counting synchronizing pulses. The apparatus of the invention inserts and detects the header, inserts and detects the address code, inserts time signals in sequence, and detects a selected time interval and frame within that interval. An electronic circuit processes signals derived from the tape for input to a microprocessor which controls displays, insertion of codes, and advancing to a chosen edit location.
