Abstract: Laser bonding of plastic workpieces (4, 5) to one another or to other materials, using a structured laser opaque mask (3) between a moving linear laser beam source (1) and the workpieces (4, 5), is new. Plastic workpieces (4, 5) are laser bonded to one another or to other materials by (a) positioning a laser opaque workpiece (5) below a laser transparent workpiece (4) facing the laser source (1); (b) positioning a laser opaque mask (3), having structures (9) larger than the laser beam wavelength, between the laser source (1) and the workpieces (4, 5) for bonding the workpieces in a certain joint region (6) of the workpiece contact faces (7); (c) directing the laser source (1) at the contact faces (7) to form a line (8); and (d) moving the laser beam (2) and the mask (3) relative to the workpieces or the laser beam (2) relative to the mask (3) and the workpieces (4, 5). An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for carrying out the above process, comprising a laser source (1) and a mask (3) of laser opaque material between the workpieces (4, 5) and a mechanism (21, 22) for continuous relative motion between the laser beam (2) and the workpieces (4, 5). Preferred Features: The laser beam (2) is directed perpendicularly onto the joint region (6) and pressure is applied to the workpieces (4, 5) during bonding. One of the workpieces may have a projection adjacent the joint region so that, during compression of the workpieces, a cavity is created between the contact faces. The laser source (1) and the workpieces (4, 5) are moved relative to one another at a high speed dependent on the maximum laser power necessary for achieving the requisite melting temperature, the relative motion optionally being produced by swiveling or rotating a mirror about an axis parallel to the contact faces (7). The laser beam (2) is produced by a semiconductor laser and produces a focal line of constant width and of length determined by the distance of the laser source from the contact faces (7) and corresponding matching of the laser power to the requisite melting temperature.

Abstract: Desk container, in particular for notepads, paper clips, staples and the like, comprising a roughly box-shaped container (2) and a lid (4). The said lid is subject to the action of elastic systems (17) which, on opening, cause said lid and said container it to rotate the one with respect to the other, so that the lid rests on the desk top and raises the rear part of the container. The lid is divided into two(5,6) parts hinged to one another, one of which is hinged to the said base in such a way as to counteract elastic systems (17), while the other presents a closing assembly consisting of suitably shaped elastic arms or the like, designed to engage the walls of the container and keep the lid in the closed position, counteracting the said elastic systems. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a furnace for drawing an optical fibre from a preform comprising a control system that controls the heating of the preform which is partially melted by the furnace and controls the drawing of an optical fiber from the preform by a drawing device (e.g. capstan). The control system features a controller that responds to a furnace power consumption control signal from the preform heating device in the furnace, for providing a furnace heating control signal to the preform heating device in the furnace and responds to a sensed fibre tension signal (e.g. from a non-contact device) for providing a draw control signal to the drawing device (e.g. capstan) to maintain a desired fiber draw tension. In one embodiment, the device controller is a programmable logic controller. One advantage of the present invention is that it eliminates the need for an optical pyrometer port in the draw furnace, which results in a symmetrical temperature profile around the circumference of the preform and also helps eliminate induced stresses that can cause defects in an optical fiber drawn from the preform. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A block-resistant film is described which comprises a core layer of a thermoplastic polymer having a first side and a second side; a functional layer which is printable or sealable or treatable for printing or sealing is on the first side of the core layer, and a block-resistant layer is on the second side of the core layer. The block-resistant layer comprises a thermoplastic polymer and an amount of a polydialkylsiloxane, based upon the entire weight of the block-resistant layer, sufficient to inhibit blocking of the block-resistant layer to the functional layer when they are in contact and which polydialkylsiloxane deposits silicon onto the functional layer but the amount of silicon deposited is not substantially detrimental to the printing function or the sealing function.

Abstract: Novel compositions of matter containing aromatic compounds and terpenoids which are present in and may preferably be derived from the plant Alpinia galanga (Zingiberaceae) show synergistic effects with respect to immunomodulation, and they significantly suppress hypersensitivity reactions. Thus they are used for preparing medicaments for these purposes and, more specifically, for the treatment or prevention of IgE mediated allergic reactions and conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic eczema or anaphylaxis, and autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, as well as for the alleviation of pain. They can for example be formulated into pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or dietary supplements. A method of preparing such compositions from Alpinia galanga is also described.

Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency opening device for a preferably automatic two-panel sliding door having an energy storage element embodied by a rubber belt (6). Said rubber belt (6) is on one side irremovably fixed in a support (9) and on the other side removably fixed to a holding device (7) by means of a slide (8). During normal operation of the sliding door the pretensed rubber belt (6) has no effect. The holding device (7) releases the slide (8) with the rubber belt only in an emergency, such as a fire or power failure. The slide (8) interacts with the pulley carriages (5b) of the sliding door and by means of the energy stored in the rubber belt (6) moves the sliding panels (1a, 1b) into the fully opened position. To prevent a sudden, severe impact of the slide (8) against the pulley carriage (5b) the slide (8) comprises a friction brake (82, 83, 84). This brake (82, 83, 84) is released by a control device (56) only after the slide has contacted the pulley carriage (5b) so that the entire energy stored in the rubber belt (6) is then able to act upon the pulley carriage (5b). When the emergency is over the rubber belt (6) is tensed during the first closure of the sliding door by the movement of the pulley carriage (5b) and again fixed to the holding device (7).

Abstract: An anvil of a set of secateurs can be displaced in relation to a supporting limb on a swivel axis to permit alignment of the anvil with an edge of a cooperative cutting blade. A bolt and nut are arranged in a hole of the secateur limb to prevent rotation of the nut. The bolt and/or nut has an annular blade facing towards the anvil. The annular blade becomes embedded in the anvil as the bolt is screwed into the nut, thereby forming a positive fit. The bolt shaft is guided through an arched slit in the anvil that extends concentrically in relation to a swivel axis about which the anvil pivots during adjustment. The anvil pivot angle is approximately 2°.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for the three-dimensional representation of scenes and/or objects from planar layer images which are obtained from scaled representation planes in the spatial depth of the scenes and/or objects. To this end, a plurality of adjacent representation elements are provided, wherein said elements are perpendicular to the vision direction of an observer or a camera. The representation elements are arranged relative to each other so as to define a flat raster comprising a plurality of lines and columns. Two at least of these adjacent representation elements, in a line and a column of this raster, have different focal distances. The number of different focal distances corresponds to the number of scaled representation planes in the spatial depth. The representation elements having the same focal distance are always associated with the same representation planes. A portion of a planar layer image is placed in the optical axis of each representation element. Portions of this same planar layer are further provided in the beam path of the representation elements having the same focal distance.
