Abstract: A floor cleaning device consists of a flat, elongated-rectangular frame (1) which holds a soft, skin-like cover and on which a handle (9) is fixed by means of a universal joint (7). A support (13) for the handle (9) can be pivoted by the base out of a tilted-up normal position on the handle (9) to an oblique supporting position between the frame (1) and the handle (9), in which it is supported, with the handle (9) slightly inclined, against an abutment (23) on the frame (1). The supporting arrangement is designed to be of such a stiffness that the cleaning device can be erected with a free-standing handle. If the cleaning device is lent against a wall by the handle, the handle is unable to slide to either side. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention involved the discovery of novel polymers and a process for their preparation. The polymers were prepared by the nucleophilic substitution, at room temperature, of PVC with substituted alkyltrialkoxysilanes, which can be cured at room temperature to give adhesion of PVC to hydrophilic substrates. These polymers are particularly useful as adhesion promoters in ion-selective electrodes. The invention also involved the application of these adhesive primers to planar electrode substrates to give greatly improved performance in the response of ion-selective electrodes.

Abstract: A stackable three-dimensional multi-chip module (MCM) (59) can be manufactured where one chip carrier (42) is interconnected to another chip carrier (48) by solder joints (29). The top chip carrier (42) has solder balls (23) on a lower surface of the substrate (46). The lower chip carrier (48) has solder balls (16) on a top surface of the substrate (52) and solder balls (15) on a lower surface. A lid (60) can be used to seal a device (50), and the lid height would serve as a natural positive stand-off between the level of carriers, giving rise to hour glass shaped solder joints (29) which maximizes the fatigue life of the joints. Heat sinks to further enhance heat dissipation of the MCM can be easily accommodated in this stacking approach. Furthermore, each substrate is capable of carrying multiple chips, so the module incorporates planar chip density growth concurrently with the three-dimensional growth.

Abstract: The splice verification system (10) of the present invention verifies the efficiency of an optical splice by measuring the scattered light escaping from the splice. Specifically, the preferred embodiment performs such scattered light measurement within a photodetection area which is substantially free of all ambient light. Furthermore, the verification system includes a reference power module (12) which, prior to creating an optical splice, measures the level of the optical signal being transmitted out of the end of an active fiber. The present invention then provides means to correlate the level gauged as a reference signal level relative to the amount of scattered light lost from the optical splice. The ratio of these two measured light levels may then be used to determine whether the amount of scattered light lost from the optical splice is acceptable given the particular constraints of the optical system in which the splice is employed.

Abstract: The system proposed relates to the supply of power to the rotor of an asynchronous generator with a wound rotor by an INVERTER. The INVERTER supplies a three-phase alternating voltage to the rotor, with variable frequency and voltage. The frequency has a value such that the generator always produces voltage at the same frequency as that of the mains (50 Hz). The principle of the operation of the system is the creation of electrical signals for firing MOSFET power transistors. The creation of these signals is based on the scanning of the photocells by a rotating luminous area, with frequency equal to the difference in two frequencies:  Frequency of the mains - frequency of rotation of the rotor The invention can be applied to wind generators of all types since the system can supply the rotor with an alternating three-phase voltage at complementary frequency for a wide rotational frequency range. The invention can also be applied to the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy, that is to say to the conversion of DC voltage to three-phase alternating voltage with negligible harmonics. <IMAGE>
