Abstract: The electronic circuit (1) samples the brake on (ta) and offsets (tb) caused by the depression and release of the brakepedal (2). It activates a relay (11) after detection of three following brake-onsets (td),(te),(tf). These three brake onsets must happen within a timewindow of T1 sec. Only under this condition the relay switches two additional brake lights (12) in parallel with the conventional brake lights (3) and this situation will remain till the moment (th) that the time between the detection of a brake puls trailing edge (tg) and the next brake puls leading edge (ti) exceeds a time limit of T2 seconds. The electronic circuit will deactivate the relay and the additional brake lights will not be operated when the brake is next applied. The driver will use additional brake lights in traffic situations where his slow moving or stationary verhicle is a potential danger for following vehicles. The use of four brake lights gives a better indication of danger than the usual two brake lights.

Abstract: A vertical shaft is drilled from the road surface to the upper surface of the buried pipe, using a cylindrical drill tube which remains in place during the inspection. The earth inside the tube is then extracted by a vacuum cleaner. A blind hole for a spreading plug is then drilled in the centre of the exposed surface of the pipe and a knob is then screwed into the hole. A hollow boring tool (17) on the end of a shaft (20) is then passed over the head of the knob and used to drill through the wall of the pipe. When the hole has been made the boring tool grips the knob allowing the bored out sectin to be removed. After inspections have been made, a suitable plastics material or rubber plug can be used to re-seal the pipe.

IPC: A61K41/00
Filed: 1988-03-04
Abstract: Described is a treatment of cancer and other disease processes, including infectious diseases through the use of external electromagnetic energy to alter electric and magnetic dipoles intracellularly to produce as in the case of cancer, death of the cancer cells in living tissue. The normal cells are not damaged. 
     The process comprises introducing minute particles into the interior of cells in living tissue. These particles are capable of affecting the intracellular conductivity, dielectric properties, dipole content and membrane characteristics of the cell and nucleus. The particles are introduced intravenously, intra-arterially, and/or intra-lymphatically and the subject is then exposed to an alternating electromagnetic field to introduce energy into the interior of the cancer cells and thereby destroy the cancer cells without harming the normal cells. Further, selectivity may be achieved by incorporating specific radioisotopes or tumor specific antibodies bound to the particles. 
     This treatment process may also be used to affect atherosclerotic lesions as well as other disease processes.

Abstract: The invention describes a method and a parallel test apparatus by which a plurality of memory cells of a semiconductor device can be tested in parallel. The information read out from the memory cells, which is passed on via the parallel test apparatus, indicates whether all the cells are defect-free or not. If there is just one defect, the parallel test indicates the address of the defective memory cell. As a test pattern, code words based on the Hamming code are used. The length of the code words corresponds to the number of memory cells to be tested in parallel. The parallel test apparatus, which is implemented on the memory chip, is to be set up in the form of weighted parity check circuits.

Abstract: The pneumatic spring consists of an outer cylinder (1), an inner cylinder (8) and an elastic tube (13) arranged coaxially between the two cylinders and connected tightly at the ends to said cylinders, by which means a cylinder space (16), an annular fluid space (15) and an annular gas space (7) are defined. Provided between the cylinder space (16) and the fluid space (15) is at least one overflow channel (19). During operation of a piston rod (17) arranged displaceably in the cylinder space, fluid is displaced into the annular fluid space (15), by which means the elastic tube (13) is expanded counter to the gas pressure in the annular gas space (7). In this case, the spring rate is determined by the tube and the gas pressure. The velocity of the piston rod movement in the pushing and/or pulling direction can be more or less braked by the design of the one or more overflow channels. The pneumatic spring can be applied for different areas of use, for example for adjusting seats or for closing doors. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The use of paints for coating targets detectable by thermal viewers and the targets obtained thereby, are described. Targets detectable by thermal viewers have hitherto had to be made detectable by the supply of energy. This is avoided by the provision of paints having a high reflective power in the thermal radiation spectrum and containing metal particles of high electrical conductivity for the coating of targets. These reflect the radiation temperature of the sky which differs from the ambient temperature of the targets. The targets can thus be detected by thermal viewers.

Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor in which a membrane is used to enable the sensitive material to be readily changed to enable tests to be carried out on a sequential basis simply by moving or changing the membrane. In one embodiment, the membrane takes the form of a continuous film (24) which lies against and is moveable across by means not shown, a transparent plate (17) which forms part of the SPR sensor. The film (24) comprises a layer (31) of flexible transparent material to which is applied a thin layer (32) of metal such as silver. Applied to layer (32) is a layer (33) of sensitive material. The final layer (34) is a preformed layer of hydrophyllic plastics material which incorporates troughs (37) and passageways (35,38) for the transfer of sample across the sensitive layer. Light from a laser (not shown) is subject to total internal reflection at the interface between the transparent layer (31) and metal layer (32), and the reflected light is collected by a light detector (not shown). Provided conditions are correct, surface plasmon resonance occurs at the area of total internal reflection, the characteristics of which resonance are sensitively dependent upon the reaction between the sample and the sensitive layer.

Abstract: A method of extracting caffeine from green coffee beans whereby an essentially caffeine-free supercritical fluid is continuously fed to one end of an extraction vessel containing green coffee beans and caffeine-laden supercritical fluid is continuously withdrawn from the opposite end. A portion of decaffeinated beans is periodically discharged while a fresh portion of undecaffeinated beans is essentially simultaneously charged to the extraction vessel. The caffeine-laden supercritical fluid is fed to a countercurrent water absorber. 
     Supercritical carbon dioxide is the preferred supercritical fluid. The rich caffeine laden water from the absorber is concentrated by reverse osmosis to obtain caffeine of 97% or greater purity and a permeate containing acidic non-caffeine solids which are added to the process to improve yield and increase the rate of extraction. The method of the present invention is more efficient than batch processes and produces an improved decaffeinated coffee.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit to control the variation of the power applied to an electrical power unit such as for example an electric motor or possibly a high-power loudspeaker. It is proposed to control the motor with the aid of a pair of two field effect transistors (Q, Q') mounted in parallel and in ballast, that is to say in series with the principal current of the motor, the control being continuous and uninterrupted; a balancing circuit (SH1, SH2, T1, T2) checks that the currents in the two parallel transistors are as identical as possible. The control is performed by a potentiometer (POT) delivering a variable, d.c. voltage to the grid of the first field effect transistor (Q). A feedback resistor (R2) limits the influence of the dispersion in the characteristics of the transistors, and a thermistor (CTP) protects the circuit against an excessive rise in temperature. The invention is intended particularly for the control of ventilator motors, and most especially for the control of air flow of an air-conditioning system of the passenger compartment of an motor vehicle. <IMAGE>
