Abstract: A garment is provided, which has an energy shunting pad (4) having two arms (3,7) with an exposed interior area between the arms. The garment has mounting means for mounting the pad so that the interior area coincides with the greater trochanter at the end of a femur and the arms (3,7) overlie soft tissue at opposite sides of the greater trochanter. The mounting means may comprise short pants, belts, or adhesive means. Impact energy directed at the hip is thereby shunted to the soft tissue region for dissipation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A laser having two feedback elements (17, 11), at least one which (11) is wavelength selective, is provided with a demountable optical connector (3, 13) located between the gain medium of the laser and the wavelength selective feedback element (11). An optical waveguide (3, 13) is utilised to direct optical radiation between the demountable optical connector (3, 13) and the wavelength selective feedback element (11). The demountable optical connector, for example a mechanical fibre connector (3, 13), allows the wavelength selective feedback element, for example a fibre grating, to be exchanged cheaply, simply and quickly, and thus allows the wavelength of operation of the laser to be altered.

Abstract: Système permettant de produire des entités tridimensionnelles en liant ensemble plusieurs couches successives d'un matériau poreux au moyen de gouttelettes d'un matériau liant. Une tête d'impression projetant le liant est munie d'un ensemble de gicleurs qui d'une manière contrôlée envoient des jets de gouttelettes de matériau liant sur les couches de matériau poreux. La tête d'impression balaye ligne par ligne chacune des couches de matériau poreux selon un premier axe de balayage dans une première direction, ce qui produit un premier chemin de gouttelettes par balayage rapide. La tête d'impression se déplace ensuite latéralement à la première direction puis suit l'axe de balayage rapide de la direction opposée de façon à produire un deuxième chemin de gouttelettes par balayage rapide qui s'enchevêtre avec le premier. La projection de gouttelettes sur le matériau poreux peut être commandée de façon à réguler leur recouvrement, ce qui permet de produire les différentes caractéristiques superficielles et internes désirées de l'entité.

Abstract: The invention provides a composition (3) comprising: (i) a ferrofluid comprising a colloidal suspension (4) of ferromagnetic particles in a non-magnetic carrier liquid, and (ii) a plurality of electrically-conductive particles (5) having substantially uniform sizes and shapes, dispersed in the ferrofluid. Various types of substantially non-magnetic electrically-conductive particles (5) are described. Application of a substantially uniform magnetic field by magnet means (8) to the composition (3) causes the electrically-conductive particles (5) to form a regular pattern (9). The composition is used for providing anisotropic conductive pathways (9a, 9b) between two sets of conductors (2a, 2b; 7a, 7b) in the electronics industry. The composition may be a curable adhesive composition which bonds the conductors. Alternatively or in addition the electrically-conductive particles may have a latent adhesive property e.g. the particles may be solder particles. The ferrofluid may be a colloidal suspension of ferromagnetic particles in a liquid monomer.

Abstract: A chemical timer for a direct-reading reagent test strip changes color a predetermined time after a biological fluid is applied to the strip. The strip measures the concentration of an analyte in the fluid. The timer is a dry coating of an indicator, a reagent that when hydrated can react with glucose to change the color of the indicator, an inhibitor to inhibit the change in color of the indicator, and glucose. Preferably, the reagent and glucose are present in excess in the coating, and the time it takes for the timer color to change can be controlled by the inhibitor concentration.

Abstract: The apparatus directs a primary beam of monochromatic light (10), from a source (8) such as a light-emitting diode, through the surface (6) into the body of the liquid (7) in the column (13). Preferably this contains a freely falling and constant outflow from the base (28) of an open trough (27) which overflows (4) into an outlet (22). The light scattered from e.g. suspended minerals or micro-organisms at two different depths (25,26) is focused (17,18) on to photodetectors (19,20). If the liquid contains dissolved dye, the effect of absorption of the primary beam between the measurement points can be deduced from the Lambert-Beer Law.

Date Sep. 19, 1996A data processor is adapted, in particular with respect to the microcode, in such a way that the execution of standard commands of the processor which are loaded in a user memory area and request reading or writing access to the content of memory cells is inhibited. In the operating system memory area there is a memory area access table, in which there is stored the address area authorized per user memory area for the commands there. Finally, there is an additional program routine which is called up by a command loaded in a user memory area and requesting reading or writing access to a memory cell, and checks by means of the memory area access table (before execution) whether the requested access to a memory cell lies in the authorized address area. If it does not lie in the authorized address area, the additional program routine inhibits the execution of the command. The invention has the advantage that the "radius of action" of one or more application programs in the user program memory area can be restricted in a simple way.
