Abstract: A thermal detector arrangement includes a number of channels, each including a collimator for collimating incident radiation to a respective optical filter. Each optical filter has a respective radiation passband characteristic with one having a passband spanning the passbands of all of the other optical filters. The radiation passed by each optical filter is passed to a thermal detector, which preferably is in the form of a thermally isolating membrane acting as a radiation absorbent cavity and supported by a semiconductor substrate. The output signals from the thermal detectors are multiplexed, amplifled by an amplifier having voltage offset compensation and digitally processed to provide an indication of a fire to be sensed.

Abstract: The body of this hydrant is composed of a tubular lower support (2), with an outer upper flange (7), and of a tubular raising element (3) which is mounted so as to slide in the support (2) and fitted, at the upper end, with an outer flange and means of locking a plug. These means for holding the hydrant raising element are of the type using, between a longitudinally adjustable element in a body and a groove (15) made in the body (2), a seal (14) gripping the adjustable element. According to the invention, the seal (14) is constituted by a toroidal ring made from synthetic material which has a Shore hardness of between 60 and 70 and is mounted in the tubular body (3) of the raising element with a diametral pregripping interference of between 3 and 7 %, allowing it the possibility of rolling on this portion for adjusting its vertical position, whereas the groove, with which this ring interacts, is made at the upper end of the body (2) of the hydrant, emerges vertically from this end in order to receive the seal and has a groove-bottom diameter (15a) able to exert on the ring (14) a complementary diametral gripping interference for sealing of between 0.5 and 0.1 . <IMAGE>

Abstract: A hand-held fluid power-operated shears characterized by a body including a pistol grip handle portion, a blade-receiving recess and a cylindrical cavity with a removable cover over the blade-receiving recess. One of a variety of different size and design pairs of interchangeable shear blades may be installed in the blade-receiving recess. The blades are pivotally connected and each has a forward cutting section projecting forwardly of the housing and a rearward extension, the extensions being removably received in the blade-receiving recess to hold one blade fixed while permitting relative movement of the other. One end of a piston rod is fixed to a piston provided in the cylindrical cavity for reciprocal movement therein. The other end of the piston rod is in direct detachable engagement with the rearward end of the extension of the relatively movable shear blade. Fluid flow passages are provided within the body, being adapted for connection to a source of fluid under pressure and in communication with the cylindrical cavity on opposite sides of the piston for introduction of fluid thereto and exhaust fluid therefrom. Valve mechanisms are provided for controlling flow of fluid through the shears. Power trigger mechanisms which are operable from the pistol grip handle are provided to actuate the control valve mechanisms and safety trigger mechanisms are provided operable from the pistol grip handle to prevent accidental operation of the power trigger.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) 20 is mounted on the surface of a header 42 and a photodiode 41 is mounted on an orthogonal extension 43 of the header such that some of the light emitted by the LED 20 falls directly on the photodiode without having undergone reflection from other surfaces. The photodiode is used to sense the output intensity of the LED. The direct optical path between LED and sensor means that the photodiode output is insensitive to movement between the assembly and its surroundings, which movement can give rise to errors in prior art arrangements involving reflection from a further surface. The assembly may be used in an exhaust gas sensor in conjunction with a further photodiode. <IMAGE>

The force required to displace the primary shape on the guide wire serving as an insertion aid amounts to 0.5N to 10N. The invention describes an implant (1) which can be used in vascular surgery or vascular radiology in order to achieve selective blood vessel occlusion. Insertion of the implant (1) into a blood vessel is brought about by means of an insertion catheter (16), with the implant being held in a rectilinear shape by a guide wire (14) slid therein. After the implant has reached the correct position in the organ pathway (18) it assumes a pre-formed spiral shape on the withdrawal of the insertion wire from inside it, thereby ensuring fixation of the implant in the organ pathway.

Abstract: A novel thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which comprises (i) polymeric A blocks in which there are side chains comprising crystallizable moieties having a melting point Tq, and (ii) at least one amorphous polymeric B block having a glass transition point, Tgs, which is less than (Tq - 10) DEG C. The relative proportions and molecular weights of the A and B blocks can be adjusted so as to produce desired physical properties with comparatively little change in Tq, which depends chiefly upon the nature of the crystallizable moieties, which may be for example n-alkyl groups containing 12 to 50 carbon atoms. The novel TPE's show a sharply reduced viscosity in the region of Tq, and can be melt-processed at temperatures close to Tq. The novel TPE's are useful in the form of compositions, shaped articles and assemblies which comprise one of the novel TPE's and a second component which is mixed with, or surrounded by, or surrounds or otherwise provides a substrate for, the TPE. Preferred second components are explosives and other energetic materials, pharmaceuticals, seeds, perfumes, deodorizers, pest control agents, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, biologically active materials, agrichemicals, and disinfectants. Second components can be released from such a composition or shaped article by a natural increase in the ambient temperature or by heating the composition or article to a temperature at least equal to Tq by means of heat which is (i) generated artificially or (ii) generated by a mammalian body and/or (iii) is conveyed artificially to the composition, article or assembly.
