Abstract: An electronic bus system comprises a bus wire (BW) with at least two signal transmission wires (W1, W2) and a left and a right end, which are each defined by a terminating resistor connecting the signal transmission wires to each other. A plurality of electronic control units (ECU-ECUn) are between the two ends of the bus wire (BW) connected to the signal transmission wires (W1, W2) and are adapted, via these, to transmit and receive electric signals. The bus wire (BW) is divided into a plurality of sections (S1-Sn), which are interconnected by means of connecting circuits (CC1-CCn), and forms an annular unit. Each connecting circuit (CC1-CCn) comprises relay means, by means of which each connecting circuit, coordinated with the other connecting circuits, can connect at least one terminating resistor integrated therein, in order to define the left and/or right end of the bus wire (BW).

Abstract: A housing (10) has a cavity (18) to which fluid product can be fed, and which opens into a terminal neck (20) adapted to be inserted over a bag straw. A hollow bolt (28), having a bore at its tip, is slidable in the housing between a neck-shutting position and a position in which its tip is remote from the neck mouth. A needle (34) is axially slidable in the bolt and protrudes with an enlarged head (35) within the terminal neck through the terminal bore. The needle is biased by a spring (38) to a position where the enlarged head abuts against the tip of the bolt. A drive cylinder (44) is provided for moving the bolt and the needle away from the terminal neck, for connecting the bolt to the internal cavity of the housing, for subsequently bringing the bolt near the neck in order to break the connection and to push the needle and so that its enlarged head moves away from the bolt. The portion of the needle adjacent to its enlarged head is smaller than the bore, so that gas fed to the hollow bolt is allowed to flow through. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The retaining mechanism for a roller shutter with metal slats, is able to roll onto one or more reels (6) turning on a fixed shaft (7) with the aid of spiral compensating springs (12) equipped with retaining members designed to stop the shutter dropping in the event of compensating spring failure. The outer end (17) of each compensating spring is connected to a locking member (20) which moves on the corresponding reel. Each locking member is able to move in the direction of a static component (30) fixed to the shaft (7) and engage with one of its teeth (35). The locking member is held at a distance from the static component by the compensating spring and moves in a direction which is substantially tangential to the reel's axis of rotation.

Abstract: The method entails using a rotatable device, on which the bending bars (6) are suitably arranged (one for each corner of the winding of the spiral being produced). A bar (7) of suitable length and cross-section is used and an ejection device pushes away the already produced windings of the spiral (14) in a suitable manner from the production plane around at least a diameter of the wire, concrete steel or the metallic tube (1) per rotation of the rotatable device. In this way, the production plane is cleared of the already produced windings. The bending pins (8,9) of the bending units (6) are arranged in a suitable manner so that they can move simultaneously and parallel to each other for angle-halving of the corners of the spiral winding during production.

Abstract: The present invention relates a temperature-controlled pH-dependant formation of ionic polysaccharide gels, such as chitosan/organo-phosphate aqueous systems, and methods of preparation thereof. While chitosan aqueous solutions are pH-dependant gelating systems, the addition of a mono-phosphate dibasic salt of polyol or sugar to a chitosan aqueous solutions leads to further temperature-controlled pH-dependant gelation. Solid organo-phosphate salts (1-20% w/v) are added and dissolved at low temperature (10° C.) within 0.5 to 4.0% w/v chitosan in aqueous acidic solutions. Aqueous chitosan/organo-phosphate solutions are initially stored at low temperatures (4° C.), then endothermally gelated within the temperature range of 30 to 60° C. Chitosan/organo-phosphate solutions rapidly turn into gels at the desired gelation temperature. Gelation can be ex vivo within any receivers or molds, or in situ in animals or humans (in vivo) so as to fill a tissue defect or cavity.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a gating device, a feedback device and a control device. Soliton pulses are received by the gating device, which detects and monitors a dispersive-wave between adjacent soliton pulses using a timing circuit. The timing circuit typically provides a gating signal offset in phase from the soliton pulses in order to trigger the gating device. Triggering the gating device allows the dispersive-wave to be accessed and monitored between adjacent soliton pulses. The feedback device, typically using detectors and processing circuitry, measures the energy of the soliton pulses and the energy of dispersive wave. The feedback determines a ratio of the energy levels as an indication of soliton-pulse transmission performance. The indication is provided to the control device as a feedback signal so that the control device can appropriately adjust characteristics of the soliton pulses and improve or optimize transmission performance. <IMAGE>
