Inventor: ROLLER JOSEPH A
IPC: E01F15/04
Filed: 1998-08-13
Abstract: An apparatus for protecting structural supports from damage when impacted by an object such as a moving vehicle is provided. The apparatus has a shaped component which in the preferred embodiment is a semi-cylindrical component having a body defined by a wall, a top, and a base. The wall has at least one flat wall face and surrounds a hollow interior. An indentation for receiving a structural support is present in at least one flat wall face. A means for securing the shaped component to the structural suppport and for firmly seating one component at its flat wall face against the second component at its flat wall face when two components are present. Preferably, each component has a plurality of impact absorbing indentations, each having an aperture, a base and a wall extending from the base to an aperture mouth. These indentations function to re-distribute the energy of impact when a collusion occurs between the apparatus and a moving object. Preferably, each component is formed by rotational molding from a plastic resin.

Abstract: The invention relates to compression tubing (1) for producing water-impermeable or only slightly water-permeable, gastight and/or friction-locked building joints. These joints are made in particular using workable, thermosetting materials such as concrete. The inventive tubing has at least one casing which encloses at least one inner area for conveying injection materials both in the direction of extension of the tubing, and transversely to the direction of extension of the tubing beyond (outside) the interior area. The casing has openings (13) which connect the inner area to the outer area surrounding the compression tube (1), thus enabling the transverse conveyance of fluid. The casing also has valve elements which largely seal the openings (13) against the penetration of liquid or other material into the inner area, while permitting the passage of pressurized injection material from the inner area(s) to the outer area.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif pour mesurer les propriétés des fibres dans un ruban (16). Le dispositif est construite avec une première (12) et une deuxième (14) pièces guides incurvées en aluminium comportant un revêtement en TéflonTM ou en céramique. Les guides compriment le ruban de fibres. Une lampe à xénon (30) projette à travers une première fenêtre transparente située dans la première pièce guide une lumière qui traverse le ruban de fibres et sort par une deuxième fenêtre transparente (28) située dans la deuxième pièce guide incurvée. Cette lumière est focalisée ensuite par un dispositif optique sur une caméra équipant un dispositif à transfert de charge (18), laquelle caméra utilise un réseau de pixels pour créer une image du ruban de fibres comprimé. Un générateur d'impulsions (38) tansmet des signaux à déclenchement simultané à la lampe à xénon et à la caméra de sorte que l'image du ruban de fibres soit créée en même temps que l'émission de la lumière. Des moyens de traitement (36) identifient dans le réseau des configurations de pixels sombres considérées comme des déchets, des noeuds, des boutons de l'enveloppe de la semence ou d'autres impuretés dans la fibre. Cette identification s'effectue par comparaison des configurations de pixels dans le réseau avec des configurations stockées dans une table à consulter.

Abstract: For correction of the position of a faulty toe (2.1) a flange (1.1) is used, engaging through the space between the faulty toe and that next to it and on that side of the faulty toe towards which it is inclined. The flange is so arranged and/or inclined that it acts against the faulty position, causing the faulty toe to pivot into the correct position. The corrective flange is supported by a base (1.2), which in use runs parallel to the sole of the foot of the user. The base is, in fact, a baseplate. Holding flanges (1.3,1.4) are formed on the base, with which it is of one-piece structure. They impart a hold to the foot by exerting forces (B,C) on the side of the foot against the force (A) of the faulty toe.

mounted at each end of the tube bodies. An ink ribbon
cartridge (24) includes side plates (51) formed with supporting

facsimile machine (1), the spools are freely rotatable within
the supporting openings (55). On the other hand, when the ink
ribbon cartridge (24) is dismounted from the facsimile machine (1),
engagement protrusions (46) formed to the spools catch on the
edges defining the cutout portions, thereby preventing the
spools form rotating. As a result, the ink ribbon (27) will not

Abstract: A diagnostic method is disclosed which utilises an
antigen complex comprising a carrier to which is attached
a plurality of  Borrelia  OspC peptides and optionally
other  Borrelia  peptides. The antigen complex is used for
determination of IgM antibodies against  B .  burgdorferi
sensu lato  . The antigen complex comprises a sufficient
number of peptides having affinity for a relevant epitope
on the IgM antibody to be detected to allow the antigen
complex to bind to the IgM antibody without being removed
during a washing step. The  Borrelia  flagellum is another
important immunodominant antigen. The simultaneous
determination of antibodies against  Borrelia  OspC and
flagellum is also disclosed. The method is particularly
useful for diagnosing Lyme borreliosis in the early
stages.

Abstract: Un affichage présente des caractéristiques améliorant le contraste des images affichées, et comprend une structure de pixels qui définit une zone de pixels actifs et une zone de pixels inactifs. L'affichage peut être un dispositif du type photoémetteur tel qu'un dispositif électroluminescent organique (OLED) ou un autre dispositif électroluminescent, un dispositif phototransmetteur tel qu'une photovalve à cristal liquide bistable de type BRC (Bistable Reflective Cholesteric). Le rapport de la superficie de pixels actifs est inférieur à 50 % de la superficie totale de pixels. L'affichage comprend un cache transparent et porte sur son côté apparent une matrice noire. Cet affichage peut être un affichage par pavés, dans ce cas, la matrice noire est formée sur une plaque d'intégration à laquelle sont reliés les pavés individuels de manière à former un affichage complet. Dans les matériaux d'affichages émissifs ou réflecteurs, l'affichage comprend une partie électronique comportant une plaquette de circuit qui produit des signaux pilotes pour les pixels de l'affichage. Cette partie électronique est reliée à la partie d'affichage par un adhésif. Pour fournir aux pixels actifs un fond absorbeur de lumière, on teint en noir la plaquette de circuit ou l'adhésif. Chaque pixel comprend quatre composants sous-pixels séparés par des parties de la surface de pixels inactifs, ces sous-pixels formant ensemble la surface active des pixels. Un système de lentilles monté sur la surface visible de l'affichage sert à concentrer la lumière émise par la surface active des pixels pour aboutir à une superficie plus petite, réduisant ainsi l'ouverture de l'affichage. Des surfaces situées entre les lentilles sur la surface visible de l'affichage sont recouvertes d'une matière noire pour former une matrice noire. On dépose sélectivement une matière noire sur le cache frontal avant d'appliquer la rangée d'électrodes métalliques, de manière à empêcher que la rangée d'électrodes ne forme une face de réflexion tournée vers l'observateur.
