Abstract: L'agencement décrit sert à assurer le blindage d'unités électroniques individuelles en vue de les protéger contre le rayonnement indésiré de micro-ondes ou d'ondes millimétriques, tout en permettant la transmission de signaux d'entrée et de sortie et du courant d'alimentation à travers la paroi de blindage. Une boîte métallique (12) emprisonne une unité électronique (14). Les signaux d'entrée et de sortie et le courant d'alimentation peuvent être acheminés dans l'unité électronique et transmis depuis cette unité électronique à travers la paroi de blindage au moyen de liaisons optiques (16, 21 et 42) et de composants photo-émetteurs (20, 24, 40) et photo-récepteurs (22, 30 et 46). Dans une autre variante, le courant d'alimentation peut être transmis à travers la paroi de la boîte de blindage au moyen de cristaux piézo-électriques (120, 150) fixés au côté extérieur et au côté intérieur de la paroi de la boîte de blindage et au moyen d'une tige diélectrique (170) connectée entre les deux cristaux piézo-électriques à travers un trou ménagé dans la paroi. L'énergie électrique nécessaire peut être convertie en énergie mécanique transmise à travers la paroi de la boîte vers le cristal piézo-électrique, dans lequel elle est reçue et reconvertie en énergie électrique. Des passages métalliques pour le courant d'alimentation ne sont donc pas nécessaires, ce qui élimine les voies par lesquelles le rayonnement pourrait pénétrer dans la boîte de blindage.

Abstract: A foamed aerosol preparation for use as the base of cosmetics, quasi drugs, medicines, and so forth, which comprises 0.1 to 5 w/v% of a surfactant, 0.05 to 10 w/v% of a lower alcohol and/or a glycol, 3 to 25 w/v% of water, and 60 to 95 w/v% of n-butane gas. Despite of the use of n-butane gas as the propellant, this preparation lathers very well and is excellent in cracking sound when applied to the skin. Furthermore it is particularly useful from the viewpoint of environmental protection, because it is free from the problem of the depletion of the ozonosphere by virtue of the use of liquefied petroleum gas as the propellant instead of fluorocarbon gas heretofore used.
