Patent EP-0292869-B1 (EP)
Title: Folding leaf
IPC: G09B29/04
Filed: 1988-05-19
Granted: 1990-12-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a folding leaf which can be assembled from a rectangular blank by means of multiple folding edges (1, 1', 2, 2', 3, 3', 4, 10) intersecting at right angles and cuts (1, 2', 2'', 3'), starting from the sides (3, 4) with a rectangular central part which is surrounded by folding sections in the direction of the edges and corners. In the unfolded state of such a folding leaf, different folding sections can be assigned to each other, some of which belong to the front and some to the back of the folding leaf. In order to increase these possibilities of assignment, the invention provides that the central part possesses folding edges (1, 2), intersecting in the middle thereof, between two opposing cuts (1', 2'), and that one of the two folding edges of the folding sections (3') near the corners is cut open. In this manner, book-like foldings can be formed, in which the individual leaves can be combined with each other in an alternating, and hence varied, manner by appropriate folding and refolding.

Abstract: The invention relates to a housing for an electrical apparatus for insertion in mounting openings (10) of switchboards (27) having an essentially cuboid-shaped housing body (2) which can be pushed into the mounting opening (10). At least on two mutually averted side walls (narrow side walls 13), this housing body has in each case elastically sprung spreading fishplates (14) which stand proud towards the outside from the corresponding side walls at an acute angle (16), opening against the insertion direction (15).

Title: Fibre-optical sensor
IPC: G01D5/26
Filed: 1988-02-26
Granted: 1993-08-04
Abstract: An optical sensor includes an optical fibre (1), a polychromatic light source (2) and a detector (3). The optical fibre is disposed such that a change in the parameter to be measured causes a movement of the fibre to vary the amount of microbending such that the portion of the polychromatic light which is no longer constrained within the fibre is varied. The detector (3) detects the intensity of the polychromatic light transmitted by the optical fibre (1) at a plurality of different wavelengths, and a microprocessor (6) interprets the output of the detector (3) in terms of the parameter to be measured.

Granted: 1992-02-26
Abstract: A seeding machine has a drum (8) and roller (10) urged together to define a seed trough (22). Bristles (26) close one end of the trough (22) and a hopper (24) adjacent that end feeds a continuous supply of seeds to the trough (22). The seeds flow along the length of the trough (22) and are discharged at the opposite end of the trough (22) which is open. A funnel (30) collects the discharged seeds and returns them to the hopper (24). The drum (8) is provided with a series of axially extending rows of holes which are coupled to a vacuum source as each row passes through the tumbling seeds in the trough (22). A single seed is attracted to each hole and is carried by the drum to a discharge location where the hole in question is disconnected from the vacuum source and instead connected to a source of pressure which then acts to eject the seed from the drum (8).

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the electrolytic preparation of a mother alloy of iron and neodymium by the reduction of a mixture comprising at least one reactive oxygen-bearing compound of neodymium in a bath of molten halides with at least one metallic cathode, preferably of iron, and a carbon anode. In accordance with the invention, the bath is primarily formed by a mixture of molten fluorides whose decomposition potential is close to that of NdF3 or more negative, such as for example NdF3, MgF2, ScF3, CeF3, LaF3, BaF2, CaF2 and SrF2, and permitting solubilization of the oxides by a complexing effect, the solute to be reduced is formed by a mixture of salts primarily containing a reactive oxygen-bearing compound of neodymium which is very rapidly soluble in the molten electrolyte. The working temperature is in a range of from 640 DEG  to 1030 DEG C., the anodic current density is from 0.1 to 1.5 A/cm2, and the cathodic current density is between 2 and 30 A/cm2.

Abstract: A dental floss applicator (10) comprises a fork having a pair of legs (14 and 16) projecting from a handle (12), a container (20) on the handle (12) for storing a supply of dental floss (22), and a reel (34) on one side of the handle (12) for being rotated to withdraw a continuous string of floss (22) under tension from the container (20) and pass the floss (22) from the container (20) along the length of one leg, across the distance between the tips of the legs (14 and 16), after which the floss (22) extends along the other leg and is wound on a rotatable post (40) on the underside of the handle (12). The reel (34) and post (40) rotate in unison so that as they rotate, the floss (22) is fed from the container (20) across the distance between the tips of the legs where the floss is held under tension for teeth cleaning. The diameters of the post (40) and reel (34) provided a differential tensioning arrangement for applying a controlled tension to the floss (22) across the tips of the legs. Further controlled tension can be applied to the floss (22) by a movable clip (54) for engaging a stop (62) over which the floss (22) passes before being wound on the reel (34).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of bleaching cellulose pulp with ozone. Ozone bleaching has been extensively studied in laboratory and pilot scale. It has been proved that at low consistencies, i.e. less than 5 %, ozone dissolves well in water and thus good transfer of substance between the ozone and the fibers in the water is achieved. On the other hand, it has been discovered that the ozone, being a gaseous substance, reacts well also directly with a fiber surface which, however, presupposes that the consistency of the suspension is over 25 %. Further, it has been discovered that in the intermediate range between said consistencies ozone cannot satisfactorily contact the fibers. However, both environmental and pumping factors determine the operation to be carried out at that particular intermediate consistency range of 5 to 25 %. A characteristic feature of the method of the present invention, which avoids the disadvantages of prior art methods and permits operation at the consistency range of 5 to 25 %, is that cellulose pulp is pumped with a high-consistency pump to a fluidizing mixer in which O2/O3 gas is introduced and mixed into the pulp so as to generate foam in which the fibers in the pulp and the ozone used as the bleaching agent are brought to contact with each other, and that the pulp is discharged from the mixer to a reaction vessel.
