Abstract: For covering hitch balls on the hitch systems of cars a loose covering hood is usually used, which is placed over the hitch ball (6) and which may easily be lost if it is loose, or create noise if it is suspended in a chain, when the ball is being used. By the invention is provided a covering hood by means of two semi-spherical shells (24) which are pivotally fastened to the hitch rod (4) right below the hitch ball (6), such that they are pivotal from a covering position closed about the hitch ball to opposite projecting positions, in which the hitch ball is uncovered. On already existing hitch systems the shells (24) are easily mountable by means of a simple clamp fitting, which is even well suited to be fixed on a conical hitch ball rod.

Abstract: A novel method of urine specimen preparation comprising intense centrifugation and a lipid wash mitigates or prevents loss of bacteria-containing sediment prior to examination. Modifications of the method facilitate examination of urines with interfering constituents such as glucose, phosphates, and soluble and insoluble proteins. By this method, bacteria have been found in the urine of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and essential hypertension. These bacteria were not detected in standard urine preparations. Administration of antibiotic agents effective against the bacteria detected, such as clindamycin, destroyed these bacteria and provided therapeutic relief.

Abstract: In a two-way remote control system a plurality of apparatus, including the hand-held unit, does not only comprise a transmitter but also a receiver. The receiver, inter alia, in the hand held unit is battery-fed. Since the receiver must be continuously in the operative state, this battery is exhausted very rapidly. To improve this, transmitters which deliver messages of a particular type have been selected in this system. In fact, each message comprises a series of pulses and the beginning of each message is marked by a wake-up pulse. At least the receiver which is battery-fed is provided with a wake-up pulse detection circuit controlling a switching circuit which switches the receiver from a rest state to the operative state after it has received of a wake-up pulse and which switches the receiver back to the rest state, in which state it consumes very little energy, if no wake-up pulse has been received for a certain period.

Title: Silicon-containing negative resist material, and process for its use in patterning substrates
IPC: G03F7/075
Filed: 1988-04-13
Granted: 1993-09-15
Abstract: A negative polymer resist material, used as the top layer of a multi-layer resist structure for patterning microelectronic devices, is formed as a copolymer of a silicon-containing alkyl methacrylate having a trimethylsiloxysilyl group, and a halogenated styrene. The polymer resist material is typically applied as a top layer (18) overlying a thicker organic polymer bottom layer (16), and a pattern is formed in the polymer resist top layer (18) by irradiating the surface, as with electron beam irradiation. The portion of the top layer (18) that is not irradiated is removed by developing the polymer resist material. The polymer resist material is particularly resistant to subsequent removal by oxygen reactive ion etching, a dry etching process that is desirably used to remove those portions of the organic polymer bottom layer (16) which are not masked by the top layer.

Abstract: A device (10) for winding and unwinding a waterski tow-line (21) comprises a substantially enclosed housing (20) having a spool mounted for rotation in the housing. A driven gear is mounted on the spool (22) for rotational driving thereof. A drive shaft is journaled in the housing for rotation and for axial sliding relative to the housing and the drive shaft (28) has a first end portion protruding from the housing and a second end portion extending into the housing. A drive gear (26) is rigidly affixed to the drive shaft for rotation and for axial sliding with it. A spring (36) is mounted in the housing to bias the drive gear (34) into meshing engagement with the driven gear (26). A crank lever (38) is pivotally connected to the second end portion (32) of the drive shaft by an eccentrically positioned pivot pin (46). With this arrangement, upon pivoting movement of the crank lever (38) to a first orientation generally transverse to the axle of the drive shaft (28), the yoke portion (48) urgingly contacts the housing so as to cause axial sliding of the drive shaft (28) in a first axial direction against biasing of the spring (36), so as to cause disengagement of the drive gear (34) from the driven gear (26), thereby allowing free rotation of the spool (22), and consequential unwinding of the tow-line therefrom. On pivoting movement of the crank lever to a second orientation 180 DEG  opposite to the first orientation, the yoke portion (48) is removed from urging contact with the housing (20) so as to allow the drive shaft (28) to slide in an axially opposite second direction under biasing of the spring (36), so as to cause engagement of the drive gear (34) with the driven gear (26), thereby allowing for controlled rotation of the spool (22) upon rotation of the crank lever (38), so as to wind the tow-line (21) around the spool (22).

Granted: 1994-10-12
Abstract: The device consists basically of a guide rail, an adjustment component and a spring component. According to the invention, a leaf spring 3 is to be inserted as spring component, said leaf spring extending essentially over the length and width of the adjustment component 2 and being connected to the adjustment component 2 to form a construction unit clamped onto the guide rail 1. In this arrangement, the leaf spring 3 is not only significant for locking purposes but also generally for retaining and guiding the adjustment component 2. It thus assumes a further function and permits a particularly simple shaping of the adjustment component 2 so that manufacture and assembly of the device are more convenient overall. For the connection of the leaf spring 3 to the adjustment component 2, projections 7 in the adjustment component 2 are expedient. Furthermore, the displacement is facilitated by guide noses 22 on the adjustment component 2.

Abstract: A process for production of chlorine dioxide by reacting in a reaction vessel an alkali metal chlorate, a mineral acid and methanol as a reducing agent in proportions to generate chlorine dioxide in a reaction medium maintained at a temperature from about 50 DEG C to about 100 DEG C and at an acidity within the interval from about 2 to about 11 N and subjected to a subatmospheric pressure. Thereby water is evaporated and a mixture of chlorine dioxide, water vapour and gaseous by-products is withdrawn from an evaporation region in the reaction vessel. The alkali metal sulphate is precipitated in a crystallization region in the reaction vessel. The content of formic acid in the reaction vessel is increased by addition of formic acid to a content of formic acid exceeding about 0.3 M. The gaseous by-products are condensed to obtain formic acid and the content of formic acid in the reaction vessel is increased by recirculation of the condensate.

Abstract: Selon un procédé de régulation de la quantité de carburant à fournir à un moteur à combustion interne qui n'est pas en marche à vide, même en cas de signal déficient, on utilise plusieurs temps d'injection d'urgence modifiés par la valeur de réglage d'un régulateur de lambda, de sorte qu'une durée d'injection correspond à chaque temps d'injection d'urgence. Les durées d'injection incluent essentiellement tous les temps d'injection pouvant survenir pendant le fonctionnement d'un moteur à combustion interne. Le réglage de lambda reste donc branché. Le point autour duquel il faut régler est trouvé par le procédé dit de passage des durées d'injection. Un dispositif de mise en ÷uvre de ce procédé comprend des moyens de reconnaissance des différentes étapes du procédé. Selon un procédé de régulation de la quantité de carburant à fournir à un moteur à combustion interne pendant la marche à vide, même en cas de signal déficient, une valeur de charge de remplacement est déterminée, le régime réel est mesuré et un temps d'injection est lu dans un diagramme caractéristique en utilisant ces valeurs en tant que valeurs d'adressage. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir des valeurs de gaz d'échappement réduites même en cas d'urgence. En outre, le catalyseur est protégé contre la surchauffe, étant donné que les mélanges sont rarement produits et qu'ils ne sont pas détonants.
