Abstract: The invention relates to a retainer assembly for holding a door of a vehicle in an opened position, which retainer assembly comprises a frame member (2') to be supported by the body of the vehicle and to be fastened below said door, and an arm (1') which comprises a support part (4') for holding said door of the vehicle, which arm is turnably fastened to the frame member (2') by means of a joint means (5') and which, when the retainer assembly is in a locked position, is by means of a stop part (3') of the retainer assembly arranged to be at a first angle to the frame member in such a manner that the stop part prevents the arm (1') from turning to a second angle and thus holds said door of the vehicle in the opened position, which retainer assembly comprises releasing means (50', 51') for releasing the arm (1') from the stop part (3') in such a manner that the arm can be turned to the second angle with respect to the frame member (2') for setting the retainer assembly in a second position, in which it is when the door of the vehicle is closed. So as to make the retainer assembly easy to use and structurally simple, the stop part (3') is positioned in the frame member (2'), the support part (4') is arranged for a free support of said door of the vehicle, and the releasing means (50', 51') comprise a spring (51') whose springback power is arranged to hold the arm (1') against the frame member (2') and stop part (3'), whereby when the retainer assembly is in the locked position, the arm can be turned away from the frame member (2') against the springback force of the spring (51') to release the arm from the stop part (3') and to allow the turning of the arm from the first angle to the second angle for setting the retainer assembly to a second position which is a storage position of the retainer assembly. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A blade assembly for a microkeratome for performing a LASIK operation has a cutting blade (4) with a cutting edge (5) and a sled (3) with an arm. The blade (4) is mounted on the arm (46). The sled (3) is configured for displaceable mounting in an opening of a slide of the microkeratome such that the cutting edge (5) is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the opening and such that the blade (4) is mounted in the slide for oscillating movement in a direction parallel to the cutting edge (5). The arm is configured to elastically preload the blade (4), in a state of the sled (3) being mounted in said opening, against two guide surfaces of the slide, which form an angle with each other and are parallel to the cutting edge (5). By elastically preloading the blade (4) against the two guide surfaces, it is possible to keep the spacing between the cutting edge (5) and a plane contact surface (4) for contacting the cornea of an eye (13) accurate within a few micrometers.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method and system for transmitting information in a network. The network includes at least one buffer unit for buffering the information to be transmitted. The buffer unit includes one or more first and second buffer stages. The information to be transmitted is buffered in one of the first buffer stages and then transferred to the second buffer stage from which it is transmitted to another network element. The first buffer stage is adapted to receive control data from the second buffer stage which control data influences the transferring of subsequent information from the first to the second buffer stage. Thereby, the necessary maximum buffer capacity of the second buffer stage can be kept small without danger of data loss caused by overflow. Moreover, the transmission delay caused by the second buffer stage can be reduced.

Abstract: A sensor platform for use in sample analysis comprises a substrate (30) of refractive index (n1) and a thin, optically transparent layer (32) of refractive index (n2) on the substrate, (n2) is greater than (n1). The platform incorporates one or multiple corrugated structures in the form of periodic grooves (31), (33), which defines one or more sensing areas each for one or more capture elements. The grooves are so profiled, dimensioned and oriented that when coherent light is incident on the platform it is diffracted into individual beams or diffraction order resulting in reduction of the transmitted beam and an anormal high reflection of the incident light thereby creates an enhanced evanescent field at the surface of the or each sensing area. The amplitude of this field at the resonant condition is greater by an order of approximately 100 than the field of prior art platforms so that the luminescence intensity created from samples on the platform is also increased by a factor of 100. Also disclosed is an apparatus incorporating the platform and a method of using the platform.

Abstract: A fiscal electricity meter is described for measuring the energy supplied to a load. The load current flows through the primary winding of a transformer and induces an EMF indicative of the current flowing in the secondary winding. The secondary winding comprises a sense coil, arranged to couple more strongly to the primary, and a cancellation coil which have equal and opposite turns area products so as to provide a null response to extraneous magnetic fields. The coils are arranged so that their magnetic axis are co-located and aligned together so that they also provide a null response to extraneous magnetic fields having a field gradient.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing the probability of successful data frame transmission from a transmitter to a receiver. When a data frame is generated by a processor, it is stored in a transmit queue and a copy of the data frame is stored in a secondary queue. An elapsed time device tracks the elapsed time that the data frame copy has been stored in the secondary queue. When no data frames are generated by the processor, data frame copies from the secondary queue are placed into the transmit queue, thereby increasing the redundancy of transmitted data frames and thus the probability of successful transmission to the receiver.

Abstract: The present invention provides an earplug having a plurality of visual zones. In one embodiment, the earplug includes a first visual zone, a second visual zone, and a third visual zone. The first, second, and third visual zones each comprise continuous longitudinal color bands each of which extends completely around the circumference of the earplug. In one embodiment, at least the second visual zone intermediate the first and third visual zones is formed of a color which is distinctly different from the colors of the other visual zones. In another embodiment, the first, second, and third visual zones each have one color which is distinctly different than the other colors. Accordingly, the first, second, and third visual zones comprise visual zones which permit an observer or the wearer to immediately ascertain the depth of insertion of the earplug by simply viewing the earplug. In one aspect, this permits a safety officer or other individual, including the wearer, to easily determine whether the wearer is complying with existing safety rules and regulations. In another aspect, this permits the wearer to determine whether a proper fit exists between the earplug and the ear canal because each of the visual zones indicates the degree of insertion into the ear canal.
