Abstract: L'invention concerne un fer à vapeur ayant une semelle (2) chauffée électriquement, un générateur de vapeur (6) comprenant un résevoir d'eau (8), une pompe à eau (10) et une chambre à vapeur (12) fournissant de la vapeur à des ouvertures (20) dans la semelle (2). La production de vapeur dépend de la température du tissu, laquelle est mesurée par une sonde de température (24) logée dans la semelle (2). Un tissu froid déclenche la production de vapeur. La production de vapeur est arrêtée aussitôt que la température du tissu atteint la température de condensation de la vapeur. Comme plus aucune vapeur n'est absorbée par le tissu quand on atteint la température de condensation, on évite toute production supplémentaire de vapeur qui constituerait une perte d'eau et d'énergie. Après arrêt de l'émission de vapeur, la sonde de température (24) peut être utilisée d'une manière avantageuse pour ajuster la puissance de séchage de la semelle (2) afin d'éviter de brûler le tissu et de gaspiller du courant.

Abstract: Replacing silicone paper release sheet of known adhesive-backed roll-feed 50 micron polyester curable marker product with 90+ (pref. 100) micron plastics release sheet 12 enables A4 sheets to be printed in sheet-fed printers with reduced curling or multi-sheet feeding and enables release sheet to be made from economically desirable non-stress-relieved plastics, whereas thinner plastics release sheets (and the polyester marker backing 10) need stress relief to survive heat-curing of the printed material without unacceptable distortion. Preferred versions have spacing means 14, preferably a strip of adhesive tape, projecting from the surface of the release sheet 12 facing away from the printable marker 10 to facilitate separation of sheets from a stack thereof by maintaining air gaps between adjacent sheets in the stack.

Abstract: In the present invention, there is disclosed a method for measuring temperature T through the mediation of a temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2), wherein the method is characterized by measuring values of such temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2) as well as values of a first reference resistance (3) and a second reference resistance (4) as a discharge time in such a manner that a first capacitor (6) is charged and subsequently it is discharged by its connection through the temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2), optionally through the first reference resistance (3), optionally through the second reference resistance (4). A relative resistance is then computed from three discharge times and using this relative resistance value, there is then computed temperature of the temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2). The method is conducted so that a connectible third reference resistance (5) is used, whereby the first capacitor (6) is parallel-connected to a second capacitor (7). Times of the temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2) discharge, the first reference resistance (3) and the second reference resistance (4) measured only with the first capacitor (6) are used for determination of the relative resistance only when time of the temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2) discharge is greater than or equal to the time of the second reference resistance (4) discharge, whereby otherwise the discharge times of the temperature-dependent resistance (1, 2), the first reference resistance (3) and the second reference resistance (4) measured with first capacitor (6) and the second capacitor (7) are used for the determination of the relative resistance. When changing the measurement in which both the capacitors (6, 7) are connected in parallel to measure with the first capacitor (6) only, the connection is carried out only when the first capacitor (6) is good as discharged.

Abstract: The invention proposes a quick-change attachment so that a transportation container can be moved as quickly as possible from a stationary unit to a vehicle. The change-over platform has a short-travel lifting and lowering device (16) and is rigidly connected to the chassis. The change-over platform is used to carry out the change which is made by a single person without the additional aid of a crane or a fork-lift truck. The invention also solves in particular the difficult problem of the mounting, for example, of a fully laden container on the chassis. Trapping and centring devices and also lifting and pushing units are also used with the result that the container is trapped and pushed by its own weight, and positioned precisely on the chassis. It is particularly preferable to manufacture the system using prefabricated modules.

Abstract: This apparatus is for testing valves, particularly those adapted for controlling incontinence. Microprocessor computer equipment and programs use specialized test programs and interface equipment to permit the operator to control, display and record a sequence of valve tests using screens, icons and keyboard entries. The tests are either directly computer controlled or computer directed. A manual mode permits the user to enter a specific valve test pressure versus time profile, while an automatic mode permits the user to have the profiles tests repeated automatically by the computer. Both modes provide liquid at controlled pressure to the valve under test and determines the valve's corresponding liquid output rates.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un contenant en plastique revêtu présentant une faible perméabilité au gaz et à la vapeur. On décrit un procédé et un système de revêtement de contenants en plastique qui consiste à appliquer une couche mince d'oxyde inorganique sur la surface externe des contenants, par la méthode de dépôt par plasma. Par exemple, le revêtement peut comprendre de la silice fixée sur la surface externe du contenant. Ce revêtement est souple et peut être appliqué indépendamment de la pression interne dans le contenant ou de son absence. Il adhère fermement au contenant et possède des propriétés améliorées d'isolement du gaz après pressurisation, même lorsqu'il est égratigné, fracturé, plié ou allongé. En outre, le remplissage du contenant ne présente pas d'inconvénient notable pour lesdites propriétés améliorées d'isolement du gaz. L'invention concerne également un procédé de recyclage de contenants en plastique revêtus, ainsi qu'une méthode et un système d'emballage de boisson mettant en oeuvre lesdits contenants revêtus.

Abstract: A self-locking screw in which a deep slit is formed without requiring sophisticated machining techniques or skills, and of which the locking effect is enhanced because the flanks of the screw thread are easily deformed. A slit is cut into the top of the screw thread (2) between the two flanks (21), and the root of the thread groove is a wide recess (22, 23) of a shape scraped inward from the extended faces of the flanks. By providing the wide recess, the slit at the top of the screw thread can be deep, and the flanks are easily elastically deformed, resulting in an enhanced spring-back effect. Accordingly, the effect to prevent the screw from loosening is enhanced. <IMAGE>
