Abstract: The glass bottle (100) has a neck (10) and a collar (11) at the bottle opening (20). A protuberance (30) is formed on the bottle in the collar space. A cutter (50), activated by opening the bottle cap (60), breaks the protuberance on first opening the bottle. A gripping ring (40) made with the bottle is located preferably on the other side of the protuberance. The cutter frames the collar zone which contains the protuberance and breaks the protuberance when rotated. The cutter has a window (51) which partially surrounds the protuberance. The window comprises a transparent film of material which allows verification of the state of the protuberance. The broken part of the protuberance is retained in the housing formed by the gripping ring, the collar, the cutter and the film.

Abstract: The converter has a three decision range conversion algorithm using ternary values. The converter has a single unipolar reference voltage source (Vr) and computing method (MC) to establish a voltage value. The voltage value is determined by determining a sum value from the voltage calculated during the previous iteration, and a value which is the product of the ternary value during the preceding iteration and the reference voltage. Computing is by switched capacitors (Cr, C1, C2) connected to a single operational amplifier (11). This provides a more compact circuit with less surface integration having a smaller current requirement whilst having a good conversion quality for applications such as hearing aids.

Abstract: A reading head (HO) has two magneto-resistive elements (MR10,MR20) whose resistivities vary in opposite senses for the same variation in a magnetic field. The elements are connected to supply the associated terminals (VCC,GND), and a differential amplifier (A0) which supplies data (DATA0). The reading head is also connected to a thermal disturbance detector (DET). The detector (DET) has two resistances (R) which are connected to the magneto-resistive elements (MR10,MR20), and to a common node (NC). The sign al at the node (NC) represents the base of the magnetic signal plus any thermal disturbance effect. There are capacitors (C) to eliminate the constant magnetic signal base, and a comparator compares the thermal disturbance with a reference voltage (Vref), and if necessary produces a logic 1 at the output (TA).

Abstract: An igniter nozzle, adjoining the main burner, is equipped with two electrodes connected to the spark generator (20). An oscillator (21) and a discharge circuit (22) produce a 15 kV beak-down lasting 5 microseconds. Operation is associated with an ionisation detector (11) using the same electrodes, which ascertains whether a flame is present. Its signal is compared with a preset value; if a flame is detected the oscillator is suppressed. The circuitry also includes boost amplifiers for opening (27) and for maintaining open (24) the gas admission valve (25); their output voltages exceed that of the power supply battery, which is insufficient to open the valve. Accidental opening is thus averted. The equipment is further described in European Patent 0 821 199 (q.v.).
