Abstract: The chassis of the vehicle which is powered by an internal combustion engine has a self-bearing, longitudinally ventilated tunnel (10) which forms the load-bearing connection between the front axle (4) and rear axle (5). For the purpose of suppressing noise, the engine (20) and the power transmission elements - e.g. a hydrostatic pump (21), a hydraulic motor (22) driven by the latter, a remotely actuated load gear box (23) and the articulated shaft or shafts (28) - are arranged inside the tunnel (10) and at least some of its wall area is provided with a sound-damping coating (18). The longitudinal ventilation from the front (15) to the rear tunnel opening (16) is supported by the blower of a cooling unit (24) arranged upstream of the engine (20) in the tunnel cross-section. The tunnel is detachably connected at the front and/or rear end preferably in each case to one interchangeable axle support (8, 9). <IMAGE>

Title: Wood impregnation agents
IPC: G01N3/42
Filed: 1990-04-09
Granted: 1993-10-06
Abstract: A wood impregnation agent contains, as active ingredient, a mixture of at least two of the substances mentioned below: sodium fluoride, tannin (C76H52O46), 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid, benzenecarboxylic acid and fungichromin (C35H58O12.H2O), in amounts of 0 to 50 % by weight of sodium fluoride, 0 to 90 % by weight of tannin, 0 to 50 % by weight of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid, 0 to 40 % by weight of 2-hydroxybenzenecarboxylic acid, 0 to 40 % by weight of benzenecarboxylic acid and 0 to 10 % by weight of fungichromin. For impregnation in a boiling vessel, the agent can be treated with a diluent (water), and for impregnation by injection, it can be treated with a binder. The agent can also be used for testing the state of wood, where the power required for inserting a hollow needle into the wood is recorded. To facilitate insertion of the needle and to protect the wood in the area of the insertion channel against an attack by putrefactive bacteria, a preferably pasty wood impregnation agent is squeezed from the hollow needle during the insertion process through an opening arranged in the front end area of the hollow needle.

Biasing means (66) are provided to bias the lever (64) into the lock position toward obstacle means (68) provided on the outer wall (28).

Abstract: Method and apparatus for measuring nanometer or picometer surface displacements in a target surface. A laser beam is directed against the target surface, and time-dependent variations in laser output power are measured. These variations, which are due to non-specular reflection of the incident beam by the target and reentry of the retroreflected light into the laser cavity, are used to determine time-dependent displacements at the target surface, based on a linear relationship between the measured power variations and surface displacements. The invention is useful for determining microscopic surface features of a surface, for high-density laser optical disc data storage and retrieval, and as an ultrasensitive transducer for sound or mechanical vibrations.

Abstract: An inductive flow meter is used to measure the flow of electrically conductive liquids through an electrically isolating section of a flow channel, provided with diametrically opposed punctual electrodes and crossed in this area by a transversal magnetic field. In order to reduce the influence of the path of the current concentration in the area next to the electrodes when the flow is unevenly distributed across the channel cross-section, which could falsify the measurement signal, magnetic return branches separated by gaps are arranged outside the flow channel. The gaps are located, in relation to a cross-section, in areas next to the punctual electrodes at the periphery of the flow channel, so that the magnetic field lines of the magnetic return, that extend across the gaps, extend across the inside of the flow channel as well, in areas next to the electrodes or in marginal areas downstream and upstream of the latter.

Abstract: An enhanced quantitative assay for chiro-inositol concentration can be used to determine insulin-resistance, or a predisposition to the development of insulin-resistance, in type I and type II diabetics. Spot urine or serum samples reflecting concentrations of chiro-inositol below about 1.0 micrograms/ml in urine or 0.1 micrograms/ml in serum are indicative of a predisposition to the development of insulin-resistance, while concentrations below about 0.3 micrograms/ml or 0.03 micrograms/ml in serum are associated with actual insulin-resistance symptoms. The assay can be employed for patient diagnosis, insulin therapy monitoring, and family screening.
