Abstract: A process for manufacturing artificial marble having stripe patterns, comprising: injecting a liquid resin containing a heterogeneously dispersed coloring agent into a molding cell; forming more than one layer of a liquid resin of a different color on the liquid resin containing the heterogeneously dispersed coloring agent; moving a comb-shaped tool in the layered liquid resins with the teeth in contact with the bottom face of the molding cell; and subsequently setting the liquid resins. It is possible to simply produce artificial marble having stripe patterns, a natural straight grain and a delicate color that natural wood has, or an appearance of good texture and depth like natural marble.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided, which enable an air modifying agent such as an insecticide, pesticide, insect repellant, fragrance, perfume etc. to be disseminated into an atmosphere. The air modifying agent is entrained in a flammable liquid carrier (2) which is less volative than the agent, which is held in a container (1). A wick (3) draws the agent/carrier (2) up to an igniting station provided at the rim (5) of a metal collar (4) which closely encircles the wick (3). The collar (4) is provided with a pair of diametrically opposed elongate slots (8), which expose part of the wick (3) to the atmosphere and thereby provide a vaporisation station spaced below the igniting station and disposed in the path of the flammable liquid carrier. In use, heat from a flame (6) passes along the collar (4) and warms the wick (3) in the vaporisation station, thereby assisting the preferential evaporation of the air modifying agent from the vaporisation station, away from the flammable liquid carrier prior to the latter's combustion in the flame (6). An angled deflecting plate (10) is also provided to deflect the evaporated air modifying agent away from the flame (arrow A).

Abstract: The present invention provides a broad band, multi-band radar detector which may be configured so as to have two or three down conversion stages. There are three mixers in the circuit, the second of which has a frequency synthesized local oscillator which is governed by a phase lock loop feedback circuit under the control of a microprocessor, so that the output frequency of the second local oscillator may be varied by an amount equal to +/-fadj. The first local oscillator is also under the control of the microprocessor, so that a specific intermediate frequency signal from the first mixer may be derived. By varying the frequency of the second frequency synthesized local oscillator, the tuning range of the radar detector may be increased in each frequency band of interest by an amount equal to +/-fadj for all frequency values in each respective frequency band of interest. The radar detector is a self-calibrating detector, so that the output frequency from the first swept local oscillator may be accurately controlled by determining the specific tuning voltage for a specific first local oscillator frequency at which a particular incoming radar signal may be detected. This is accomplished by bypassing the second mixer, and controlling its output frequency so that an harmonic frequency will mix with the first local oscillator frequency to give a calibration response for any predetermined input radar frequency. Accordingly, the problem of drift of the tuning capability of the radar detector may be accurately controlled.

Abstract: There is disclosed a probe for facilitating the execution, as an endoscopy, of a haemostatis (sclerosis or binding of varices) in case of bleeding varices of the oesophagus, which is the predominant cause of death for cirrhotic patients. The probe which may be controlled by an operator other than the operator who manages the endoscopy allows the operating area to be isolated from the gastric cavity and the proximal end of the oesophagus by inflating two pneumatic bladders. This allows the operation to be executed in several more favourable circumstances: easier cleaning of the operating area from the considerable quantity of blood through the suction channel which the device is provided with; blocking of the reflux of the blood from the stomach to the oesophagus; prevention of the reflux of the blood to the upper respiratory tract and reduction of ab ingestis pneumonias; more effective suction of the blood in the gastric cavity; and keeping of a desired pressure in the operating area.
