Abstract: Support device (1) for limiting the flexibility of bedsprings and mattresses comprising a pair of substantially parallel stringers (2,3) mutually spaced by elastically flexible plate-like elements (4) interposed between the pair of stringers. The support device furthermore comprises tension elements (5) which are transversely associable with the stringers by means of their longitudinal ends and can be tightened to reduce the distance between the stringers and cause the flexing of the plate-like elements. The support device can be placed between a bedspring and a mattress so that the stringers are orientated parallel to the longitudinal extension of the bed and so that the plate-like elements flex upwards so as to limit the sagging of the bedspring and of the mattress during use.

Abstract: An adjustable optical component (1), for example an optical slit having adjustable slit width, comprises a movable member (9) for providing an optical function, for example a slit (10) and/or a shutter (11), and resilient suspension means (5a-5h, 30, 31) for connecting the movable member (9) to a frame (12). The essential parts of the movable member, of the resilient suspension means and of the frame consist of microstructures which are made of a common base material. Preferably, these parts are manufactured from a silicon chip by a micromechanical technique comprising, for example, anisotropic etching. In the case of an optical slit, the movable member (9) comprises a plurality of openings of different widths which constitute a step slit (10). In order to adjust different slit widths, the member (9) is moved along a line parallel to the center line of the step slit (10), with the force for moving the member (9) being applied at opening (13). When the member (9) is moved by an external force, the resilient silicon beams (5a-5h) are bending and the bars (30, 31) are moving. The movable member (9) has an integrated shutter position (11). A high reproducibility of the adjustment of the center positions of the openings constituting the step slit (10) during repeated movement of the member (9) is ensured.

Abstract: A mould design practice is disclosed for the gravity casting of thin-walled tubes and hollow ducts in resin-bonded sand. In accordance with the mould design, a molten metal is poured through a vertical sprue (18) into a horizontal chamber reservoir (46) underlying a mould cavity (22) defining the thin-wall structure. The thin-wall cavity portion of the mould (10) is positioned about a common horizontal level above the reservoir (46). Vertical runners (48) feed the molten metal from the horizontal reservoir (46) up into the mould cavity (22). The number and location of these runners (48) are such as to fill the mould cavity (22) from several points of entry with uniform temperature molten metal before any solidification of the metal occurs.

Abstract: A method of removing chlorophyll and other color bodies to refine glyceride oils is disclosed. The method involves, sequentially, (1) treating the oil to substantially remove phospholipids and soaps and (2) subjecting the treated oil to treatment with a silica alumina adsorbent to remove chlorophyll and other color bodies from the treated oil. The novel method permits the adsorbent to be repeatedly thermally regenerated by calcination to retain a high capacity for the removal of chlorophyll.

Abstract: This invention pertains to buried heterostructure lasers which have been fabricated using a single step MOCVD growth of an MQW laser structure over a pattern etched GaAs substrate. The wet chemical etching of grooves having a dovetailed cross-section and being parallel to the [0           11     ¯           ] direction in GaAs substrates produced reentrant mesas which resulted in isolated laser active regions (17-2) buried by the AlGaAs cladding layer (18). The 250 µm long uncoated lasers emit at about 1 µm. Lasers with coated facets have threshold currents of 20 mA and emit >100 mW per facet under room temperature operation. The external differential quantum efficiency for currents of from 30 mA to about 50 mA is found to be nearly independent of temperature in the range of 10°C to 90°C suggesting a low temperature dependence of leakage current.

Abstract: In the case of known support insulators having a capacitive voltage divider and overvoltage suppressor, the problem, inter alia, arises of indicating the disconnection of the medium-voltage or high-voltage line which is held on the support insulator. In this case, climatic factors and other factors can adversely affect the insulation of the measurement line and a disconnection which has not been carried out can possibly be simulated. To this end, the invention provides that both the coupling capacitance and the overvoltage suppressor, which is connected in series with the coupling capacitance, are installed in the insulating body. The invention can be used for support insulators of any type. <IMAGE>
