Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble frein à tambour qui comprend un tambour rotatif pourvu d'une piste de freinage radiale intérieure et d'un sabot de frein (102) d'une seule pièce et de forme généralement circulaire monté dans le tambour, contre un plateau de frein (111). Le sabot de frein comprend une garniture de friction (107) et au moins un rebord (126) radialement orienté vers l'intérieur. Le sabot de frein (102) comprend un dispositif de positionnement servant à positionner le sabot de frein (102) dans le tambour dans une position de repos l'empêchant de se déplacer latéralement et de venir en contact avec la piste de freinage du tambour, de façon à dégager complètement l'espace compris entre la garniture de friction (107) et la piste de freinage du tambour en position de repos. Le dispositif de positionnement comprend un dispositif de contact (131, 132) destiné à venir en contact avec un dispositif de butée (130). Le dispositif de butée (130) comprend des butées radialement intérieures et extérieures (134, 135) et le dispositif de contact (131, 132) est conçu pour venir en contact avec la butée radialement intérieure (134) en position de repos de l'ensemble afin d'éloigner la garniture de friction (107) de la piste de freinage du tambour et pour venir en contact avec la butée radialement extérieure (135) lorsque le sabot de frein (102) se déploie radialement de façon à placer l'ensemble en position de fonctionnement. L'un des dispositifs de contact (131, 132) ou de butée (130) se présente sous la forme d'un élément mobile (133) qui peut se déplacer radialement par rapport au rebord du sabot de frein (126) ou au plateau de frein (111) afin de maintenir la distance de parcours entre la garniture de friction et le tambour piste de freinage lorsque la garniture s'use. Le contact entre le dispositif de contact (131, 132) et le dispositif de butée (130) en position de repos est facilité par un dispositif de ressort (136) qui exerce une pression sur le sabot de frein de façon à le ramener en position de repos. Le dispositif de ressort peut être conçu de façon que le sabot subisse une déformation élastique et qu'il fonctionne comme un ressort de rappel ou peut comprendre des ressorts qui agissent sur le sabot.

Abstract: The invention is a radiation curable coating containing an antimicrobial agent, where upon irradiation with UV light, the radiation curable coating rapidly cures to a polymeric coating. The polymeric coating has durable antimicrobial properties, being especially effective at preventing the growth of Staphylococcus aureaus and Kleibsella pneumoniae on wood flooring and furniture. The major components in the radiation curable coating are a urethane acrylic oligomer, a radiation cure package, an antimicrobial agent, a cross-linking agent, and optionally, an additive package. The radiation curable urethane oligomer is a relatively short chain backbone urethane polymer that is end capped with a radiation curable moiety, where the moiety is an acrylic. The cross-linking agent is one or more monomers used to lower the viscosity and promote cross-linking, and include acrylate esters of mono-, di-, tri-, or tetrafunctional alcohols. The radiation cure package contains at least one photoinitiator.

Abstract: In a radio reception apparatus, a variable gain of a reception amplifier (2) is adjusted by an AGC controller (16) for each reception signal frame and the AGC operation is executed. The AGC controller (16) detects the end moment of the AGC operation and reports the detection to a digital signal processor (15). The digital signal processor (15) executes a predetermined signal processing for a digital signal obtained after the end of the AGC operation in a known signal interval. This can prevent generation of a reception error due to an invalid amplitude value of a digital signal by the AGC operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mitt and to a grooming kit for the coat of an animal. The mitt comprises at least one cleaning surface consisting of microfibres and a second cleaning surface with a brush-type covering. The microfibre side can absorb relatively large amounts of moisture by capillary action, said moisture being in turn easily transferred to the coat of an animal that is to be groomed, if the coat is treated using the microfibre side. The brush-type covering, consisting of individual bundles of bristles, is used to transfer the moisture to the interior of the coat and to simultaneously remove foreign bodies from said coat. The interior of the mitt is provided with a loop, into which individual fingers or optionally the whole hand can be inserted. The loop permits a good grip and ensures that the hand cannot slip inside the mitt.

Abstract: A marker print unit controls a printer to print a marker at a predetermined position of an adjustment medium (AM) on which a base line (BL) is previously printed to determine the amount of misalignment and which has a shape identical to the electronic information recording medium. An input unit is adapted for inputting from a user at least two portions specifying information for specifying portions where the base line and the marker have a predetermined positional relationship. A misalignment amount determination unit determines the amount of misalignment based on the positional relationship between an absolute position at which the base line should be located and the portions specified by the portion specifying information. An independent claim is also included for a computer-implemented method for determining an amount of misalignment of print position on directly printing on a label surface of an electronic recording medium.
