Abstract: Unnecessary consumption of power of an auxiliary primary battery 2,
and other problems have been inherent in a conventional battery system.
Such problems have occurred because of frequent switching from a main
battery to the auxiliary primary battery 2 when power is supplied from the
main battery loaded on a vehicle to emergency call devices 6 and 7.
According to the present invenfaion, a novel battery switching device is
disclosed, capable of executing automatic switching at a voltage for making
operable the emergency radio signal generation circuit 6 of an emergency
call device, and executing switching based on the starting signal of a
manual switch 17 or an air bag at a higher voltage.

Abstract: A constant gas flow regulating device includes an inlet chamber, an outlet chamber and a movable wall that delimits the inlet and outlet chambers from each other. The moveable wall carrics a body comprising an opening that permits communication between the inlet and outlet chambers. An elongate element extends centrally in the opening of the body in the moving direction of the wall. The opening within the body surrounds a portion of the elongate element. In a first position the opening in the movable wall is placed in the vicinity of a first end of the elongate element. The element has a sectional size that gradually increases from the first end to a second end thereof. The size of the opening in the movable wall is larger than the sectional size of the elongate element. A helical spring biases the movable wall towards a first position.

Abstract: When modifications in a process control system are made, the software modifications must be made in the camera linked to the system, too. Both a programmer skilled in the process control system and a programmer skilled in camera programming are needed. This can be avoided when a adaptation program (710) is made for a smart camera (71). This program is able to transform the tasks given by the programmable logic (11) to a language understood by the camera software as well as to send the task results to the programmable logic. The command tasks are transmitted from the programmable logic to the smart camera, and correspondingly, the test results are transmitted to the programmable logic in messages of a known field bus protocol (e.g. Modbus), wherein the adaptation program acts as an interpreter between the bus protocol used and the specific camera software. In addition to the adaptation program another program is made for the programmable logic; this program may include any tasks to be given to the camera image-processing program provided that the tasks are incorporated in the adaptation program. The logic (11) program can now be modified at any time on the condition mentioned above, it can be included new tasks or the parameters of the existing tasks can be modified without any need for modifications in the camera (71) software or in the adaptation program.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for emulsifying, without grinding, a silicone in water in the presence of a surfactant, at a temperature less than 60 °C and under shearing at less than 100 s-1, comprising steps which consist in: a) preparing a primary oil-in-water emulsion including said surfactant and said silicone under shearing at less than 100 s-1 by adding an aqueous phase to an oily phase comprising said silicone, the proportion of oily phase in the primary emulsion being less than the maximum proportion p¿max? above which the addition of the aqueous phase to the oily phase does not enable the preparation of an oil-in-water emulsion, and the weight ratio of surfactant to water in the primary emulsion being such that a mixture in the same ratio of water and surfactant leads to a controlled phase excluding an inverse phase; b) enriching the resulting emulsion with an enriching oily phase comprising said silicone by mixing, under shearing at less than 100 s?-1¿, said enriching oily phase, the amount of enriching oily phase being less than the maximum amount  above which the addition of said emulsion to said oily phase does not enable the preparation of an oil-in-water emulsion, whereby an oil-in-water emulsion is obtained; and c) if required, repeat one or several times the operation at step b) until the desired concentration in surfactant and/or silicone in the final emulsion is obtained and/or until the desired particle size distribution is obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a high-quality insulation for conductors or conductor bundles. According to the inventive method, the inner corona shielding, insulation and outer corona shielding are mounted on the conductor or the conductor bundle in successive steps by means of thermal spraying. The mounting thickness per spraying process amounts to up to 0.2 mm. A flawless layer is thus guaranteed and partial discharges are prevented. Moreover, thermal loading capacity is significantly improved by using high-temperature synthetic materials with fillers consisting of inorganic matters as the coating powder.
