Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP97/00605 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 25, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 25, 1999 PCT Filed Feb. 10, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/41709 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 6, 1997A sound reproduction arrangement having at least one sound transducer and a holding means carrying the at least one sound transducer, for support on the body of a user is disclosed. Such an arrangement has been known hitherto as a headset. The headset has two ear caps, in each of which is arranged at least one respective sound transducer. The headset is supported on the body of the user by virtue of it being fitted on to the head so that a respective ear cap bears with its open side directly on an ear of the user or encloses same, and thus the sound transducer or transducers disposed in the ear cap output the acoustic signals directly to the ear (the known headset would therefore in itself be more correctly identified as a |earphone|). It is characteristic of a headset that the left ear receives only the left audio signal and the right ear receives only the right audio signal of the headset. The disclosed sound reproduction arrangement makes it possible to achieve high-quality sound reproduction with improved spatial association, in particular in the case of multi-channel sound reproduction, in a structurally simple manner and without involving the need for a relatively large amount of space, without the installation problems which occur in relation to loudspeaker systems and without being influenced by the acoustics of the roan, while reproduction is also to be possible with relatively high sound volumes, without disturbing the environment. This is done by making the holding portion of such a configuration that it can be supported on a part of the body of the user, which is different from the head, and in that situation the at least one sound transducer can be positioned adjacent and at a spacing relative to the head of the user so that the head of the user remains freely movable with respect to the holding means and thus with respect to the at least one sound transducer.

Abstract: Disclosed is an adjustable static umbrella with a static mast (2) to which an arm (10) is secured by means of a hinge (12) allowing for the arm to be either adjusted into a use position or collapsed into a rest position and to be tipped about the hinge (12) tilting axle (14) perpendicular to the mast axis. The hinge (12) has toggle head (80) and a pair of shells (82, 82') symmetrically inverted one to each other, encompassing the toggle head (80) therein and rotatably mounted about the tilting axle (14), while the pair of hinge shells (82, 82') is provided with a length guide perpendicular to the tilting axle (14), in which the arm (10) is inserted. A locking device (90) includes a tilting hinge (92) parallel to the tilting axle (14) and a fastening device (94) allowing for the hinge shells to be pressed one against the other and against the toggle head (80) so that, when said fastening device in the length guide (84) is pulled, the arm cannot be displaced, while the hinge shells (82, 82') encompassing the toggle head cannot be twisted due to pairs of interactive contact surfaces. Releasing the locking device (94) loosens the arm (10) length guide (84), thereby enabling adjustment of the arm, in the area of a tilt angle (alpha) limited by two end-stops (116, 116', 118, 120), between a rest position and a use position.

Abstract: In a ferroelectric data processing device for processing and/or storage of data with passive or electrical addressing a data-carrying medium is used in the form of a thin film (1) of ferroelectric material which by an applied electric field is polarized to determined polarization states or switched between these and is provided as a continuous layer in or adjacent toelectrode structures in the form of a matrix. A logic element (4) is formed at the intersection between an x electrode (2) and a y electrode (3) of the electrode matrix. The logic element (4) is addressed by applying to the electrodes (2, 3) a voltage greater than the coercivity field of the ferroelectric material. Dependent on the polarization state and the form of the hysteresis loop of the ferroelectric material a distinct detection of the polarization state in the logic element (4) is obtained and it may also be possible to switch between the polarization states of the logic element, which hence may be used for implementing a bistable switch or a memory cell. The data processing device according to the invention may be stacked layerwise if the separate layers are separated by an electrical isolating layer and hence be used for implementing volumetric data processing devices.

A coupling support (6) is arranged in the middle of the motor transverse beam (2). Supports (5) which diagonally extend forward are firmly connected to said coupling support and the buffer elements (4). This results in forming a more compact nose of the inventive front section. The nose can be strengthened above and below by firmly connecting said nose to floor panels (7). The floor panels can have stabilizing reinforcing elements (8). The rear part of the front section extends from the motor transverse beam (2) to a horizontal crossover transverse beam (9) in a direction toward the middle of the car. Both crossover transverse beam ends are firmly connected to the longitudinal supports (10). In addition, horizontally extending floor panels (7) are provided above or below said rear pan and the floor panels can have stabilizing reinforcing elements (8).

Abstract: A system and method for scrolling in a picture which is larger than MPEG standard in length or width or both in a video system, such as an interactive television system. In the preferred embodiment, the interactive television system comprises a video delivery system for providing video content, and at least one subscriber television including a display screen, wherein the subscriber television is coupled to the video delivery system. The video delivery system provides the compressed picture. The compressed picture has a length and/or a width which is larger than MPEG standard or alternatively is larger than the desirable viewing size. The compressed picture is subdivided into slices and possibly groups of slices such that the image may be smoothly scrolled. The subscriber television receives the compressed picture and operates to scroll in the compressed picture as desired by the user. The scrolling operation preferably includes providing additional compressed picture slices for decoding in place of slices in a previously viewed image of a portion of the compressed picture. The subscriber television then decodes the resulting picture and displays a next portion of the scrolled picture.

Title: Device for washing-out the bladder
Inventor: BIEBER ROLF
IPC: A61M3/02

Granted: 2003-05-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for washing out the bladder using a wash catheter which has been introduced into the bladder. Said device comprises a supply line (10) which leads into the bladder and is connected to a reservoir for the washing medium, and a discharge line leading out of the bladder. The aim of the invention is to provide a simple means of effectively increasing the washing pressure during the washing process without interrupting the closed supply of washing agent. The washing pressure entering the supply line (10) can therefore be briefly increased by activating a pump body (12, 15) between the supply container and the wash catheter. Washing medium constantly flows through said pump body (12, 15), which has a defined volume and which can be compressed with a single manual operation. A seal (14) is positioned in front of the pump body (12, 15) in the direction of flow of the washing medium. During the manual operation of the pump body (12, 15) this seal (14) alone blocks off the supply of washing medium into the pump body (12, 15) without any other seals or valves.
