Abstract: A tool for breaking a vacuum in a preserving jar closed with a circular lid. The tool is provided with an oblong handle (1), which at one end has a portion (5) for engaging the cap (7) of a preserving jar (8), and a jaw (2) for engaging the lower edge of the cap. The mouth of the jaw is turned away from the other end of the handle, and between the free end (3) of the jaw and the portion (5) for engaging the cap (7) a concave, circular cylindrical guide slot (6) is provided for guiding the tool into position against the rim of the cap in such a way that the jaw grips the lower edge of the cap, after which a slight lifting of the handle brings about an elastic deformation of the rim of the cap allowing the vacuum in the preserving jar to be broken.

Abstract: Certain squaric acid derivatives and sulfonate esters are useful for the thermochemical generation of acid. The thermal acid generators may be used in imaging media in conjunction with acid-sensitive materials which undergo a color change when contacted by the acid generated. Preferably, the acid-sensitive materials undergo an irreversible color change, so that the image can be fixed by neutralizing all the acid generated with excess base, thereby preventing further color change in the image during long term storage.

Abstract: In the case of a driver-side airbag restraint system for vehicles a pressurised gas container (12), for filling the airbag (18) arranged on the steering-wheel hub, is arranged outside the steering wheel. At its transition to the steering wheel the gas inlet is sealed off by an annular sealing gap (30), between a gap-limiting surface formed on the steering-wheel hub and an opposite gap-limiting surface on a wall, which is fixed with respect to the vehicle body, without these gap-limiting surfaces coming into contact with each other. By virtue of its dimensions and arrangement relative to the flow direction of the gases, the sealing gap (30) makes it possible for external air to be sucked in by the action of the gas flow in the interior of the gas inlet. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device according to the invention comprises a presser which acts on the printing cylinder (R) with the interposition of a strong membrane (4) of elastomeric material, securely fixed, at least with its longitudinal edges, to corresponding supports of the presser bar (1). During the active phase of the operation of the presser, the membrane (4) is subjected to composite compressive, bending, tensile and other stresses, as a result of which the membrane acts on the printing cylinder (R) with a distributed pressure. On the cessation of contact with the cylinder (R), the membrane (4) returns by its own elasticity to its extended resting state. In combination with the elasticity of the membrane, advantage is preferably taken of the effect of pneumatic counter-pressure (110) to which the membrane is subjected when it is mounted with an air-tight seal on a corresponding chamber (3) of the presser bar (1).

Abstract: A fiber optic sensor includes a generally cylindrical housing including a fiber optic transmitter in one end connected to a source of light, a sensor within the housing attached to the cylindrical wall of the housing exposed to the transmitted light and responsive to a sensed condition such as acoustic pressure waves to modulate the light, and a fiber optic receiver for receiving the modulated light and supplying it to an external circuit. The sensor may be a thin film fastened to the wall or it may include a diffraction pattern on a reflective inside surface of the wall which will produce a modulated light output with movement of the wall. The thin film may be fastened to the wall directly or suspended by means of Euler struts. The thin film may include a reflective spot and/or a moire' pattern for modulating the light. Another embodiment includes a resiliently mounted mass fastened to a thin film which may have quadrature or other patterns which would alter the light modulation pattern depending upon the direction of a sensed acceleration.

IPC: C04B35/45
Filed: 1994-10-24
Abstract: The hole density of an oxide superconductor having holes as carriers is higher than the hole density to bring the highest value of the superconductivity critical temperature Tc thereof, and it can be made higher than the optimal density to bring the highest Tc value by treating the oxide superconductor with heat in an oxidizing gas atmosphere, or by replacing positive ions constituting the oxide superconductor except for copper with ions of a low valence number. Accordingly, it is possible to substantially reduce the rate of decrease of the critical current density owing to an applied magnetic field when the magnetic field is applied parallel to the crystal c axis, and to allow a current conductor produced by using the oxide superconductor to have high critical current density.

Inventor: WELLINGHOFF STEPHEN T
IPC: A61L2/20
Filed: 1994-02-11
Abstract: A composition incorporating a chlorine dioxide generating compound such as sodium chlorite into a polymer or oligomer film is coatable onto various substrates. Controlled release is accomplished by absorption of moisture from the environment. The chlorine dioxide so released acts as a biocide and a fumigant. To form the composition, the chlorite is dissolved into a hydrogen bonded phase containing a monomeric or polymeric amide or a monomeric or polymeric alcohol. This hydrogen bonded phase is then mixed with an incompatible apolar phase consisting of anhydride such as a polymer such as a maleic anhydride copolymer with olefin, or a grafted maleic anhydride-polypropylene polymer. Chlorine dioxide is released by direct reaction of the anhydride or hydrolzed anhydride with the chlorite anion across the phase boundary. Increasing the molecular weight of the phases, increasing the phase incompatibility and decreasing the concentration of anhydride will all decrease the chlorine dioxide release rate.

Abstract: A swash-plate machine includes a hollow-spherical work chamber which is divided by a partition into at least one high-pressure chamber and one low-pressure chamber, into which an operating medium can be carried through a conduit system. The partition extends up to a piston carrier and cooperates with a plate-like sealing strip. A circular piston is adapted to the diameter of the work chamber and communicates with the exterior through a supported drive shaft which effects a tumbling motion of the piston. The piston has at least one radial slit extending from the circumference to approximately the piston carrier. A guide journal which is inserted in the slit cooperates with the partition. End surfaces of the piston are in contact with opposed lateral surfaces that extend at right angles to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft and laterally define the work chamber. The guide journal disposed in the radial slit is guided in a guide groove disposed in the partition. The radial slit is provided with angled sides having an opening angle being adapted to a swiveling stroke of the piston. The guide journal cooperates with a sealing segment disposed in the piston carrier. The segment is adapted to the opening angle of the radial slit of the piston.
