Inventor: VERGIN WILLIAM E
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: An electronic memory seat module (40) having integrated sensors (50, 54) is disclosed. The module (40) is mounted on a seat frame (20) which, in turn, is mounted on a fixed base member (14). Position sensors (50, 52, 54) are mounted in or on the module (40). Mechanical linkages (62, 68, 74) are provided between adjustable members belonging to the seat frame (20) and the sensors (50, 52, 54). The linkages (62, 68, 74) translate movement of the structural members into motion which can be sensed by the sensors (50, 52, 54). This sensed position can then be stored by an electronic memory unit for later recall.

Abstract: Machine de jeu servant à jouer à un jeu de type loto ou bingo et possédant des moyens d'affichage, ainsi que des moyens de commande de jeu conçus pour commander les images affichées sur les moyens d'affichage. Ces moyens de commande de jeu permettent de jouer à un jeu consistant pour le joueur à opérer une sélection sur la machine parmi une série d'indices choisis dans un groupe plus important d'indices, et de générer une série d'indices tirés au hasard depuis ce groupe plus important. Ces moyens d'affichage présente, dans un emplacement prédéterminé, les indices ayant été sélectionnés afin de les comparer avec les indices choisis par les joueurs. On obtient une récompense si des correspondances supérieures à un nombre prédéterminé apparaissent. Il est caractéristique du jeu qu'une pluralité de jeux se déroule en parallèle, les indices tirés au hasard pour chaque jeu l'étant depuis des groupes séparés correspondant initialement aux indices contenus dans le groupe le plus important mais chaque jeu mettant en application la même sélection d'indices par le joueur et que chaque jeu possède une zone d'affichage prédéterminée sur l'écran distincte des autres jeux. Ceci rend le jeu plus rapide et plus intéressant pour les joueurs.

Abstract: The invention concerns a protecting device (P) for guide and drive members of a cutting machine tool comprising an assembly mobile in translation (100) including three casing elements (300, 400 and 500) moving one inside the other to form a homokinetic telescopic structure in which the smallest casing element (300) called the first casing element is fixed to the frame (200) of the machine tool, the largest element (500) called third casing element is fixed to the assembly mobile (100) in translation, and the intermediate casing element (400) called second casing element slides on the external surface of said first casing element (300) and the internal surface of said third casing element (500) so as to form around the guide and drive members a sealed and extensible chamber along the displacement of the mobile assembly (100). The device is characterised in that the transmission or the relative movement between said third casing element (500) and second casing element (400) is produced by a double pinion/rack linking, the pinions and the racks constituting this linking being located beneath the protecting device. The invention is useful for protecting guide members of a machine-tool.

Abstract: On calcule la valeur de réchauffement d'un échantillon de gaz au moyen d'un microcontrôleur (12) à partir de la valeur de réchauffement d'un gaz de référence et à partir d'un rapport d'énergie oxydative déterminé simultanément à la combustion du gaz par un processus de combustion sans flamme. On mélange le gaz combustible avec un gaz aidant la combustion, tel que l'oxygène, dans une chambre volumique (4) et on l'injecte dans un dispositif de combustion (8, 50) dans lequel une masse de matériau inerte (26, 51, 53) est réchauffée à une température supérieure à la température d'auto-allumage du mélange de gaz. Ce matériau inerte (26, 51, 53) est conçu pour présenter une dimension de vide suffisamment limitée pour empêcher la formation d'une flamme nue pendant la combustion. On répète ce processus avec un échantillon de gaz. Pendant le cycle d'injection, le microcontrôleur (12) reçoit des signaux contrôlant la puissance de combustion. Ce microcontrôleur (12) calcule la valeur de réchauffement de l'échantillon de gaz et génère un signal de sortie vers un affichage visuel ou un autre dispositif de sortie.

Title: Screening device for a motor vehicle headlamp and process for manufacturing the same
Inventor: HELBIG PETER
IPC: H01J61/04
Filed: 1997-06-04
Abstract: A screening device, in particular a low beam shield or screen, is disclosed for screening the luminescent body of a motor vehicle headlamp. The screening device (1) consists of a sheet metal part and has a welding lug (3) shaped at the edge of the screening surface (2, 4a, 4b) of the screening device (1). The welding lug (3) has a recess (5) whose shape is substantially determined by the shape of an area (4a) of the wall of the screening device (1) opposite the welding lug (3). These screening devices (1) are shaped and stamped in series out of a metal sheet. The distance between two successive screening devices (1) is smaller than the longest dimension of each screening device (1). This screening device (1) enables about 15 % material savings without impairing its operation.

Filed: 1997-05-27
Abstract: Dans un système de commande de processus, un utilisateur sélectionne un objet affiché. L'utilisateur demande ensuite que lui soient montrés des documents relatifs à l'objet sélectionné. Une liste de documents relatifs audit objet s'affiche automatiquement et l'utilisateur peut alors y sélectionner un document en vue de son affichage. L'association de documents avec des objets de commande de processus affichés est facilitée par un bibliothécaire de documents. Au sein de ce bibliothécaire de documents, un utilisateur tire des documents d'une hiérarchie de documents au-dessus d'objets désignés hiérarchiquement au sein du système de commande de processus, et les laisse tomber sur lesdits objets. Des liaisons sont ainsi établies entre les documents et les objets de commande de processus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (62) permettant de redresser les fils métalliques, destiné à être utilisé dans une machine (60) à traiter les fils. Le dispositif comprend deux unités de déflexion (72, 74) de fil, disposées de façon à défléchir le fil dans deux plans perpendiculaires afin d'éliminer ses tensions. Chaque unité de déflexion comprend un premier élément (90) portant un ensemble de rouleaux supérieurs (92, 94, 96) et un second élément (110) portant un ensemble de rouleaux inférieurs (112, 114, 116, 118) montés rotatifs. Les deux ensembles de rouleaux peuvent être rapprochés et éloignés de manière réglable l'un par rapport à l'autre, de façon à entrer en contact de déflexion avec un fil (78) à redresser. Le fil traverse l'unité de déflexion en suivant trajet (80) de fil depuis un côté entrée (132) jusqu'à un côté sortie (134). L'écartement des rouleaux (92, 94; 112, 114) adjacents au côté entrée (132) est supérieur à celui des rouleaux (94, 96; 116, 118) adjacents au côté sortie (134), de façon à diminuer progressivement depuis le côté entrée jusqu'au côté sortie. Une came (200) actionnée manuellement permet d'amener les rouleaux en position ouverte, dans laquelle le fil est inséré, puis en position fermée, dans laquelle le fil est défléchi.

Title: Shunt valve
Inventor: GRUNDEI HANS
IPC: A61F2/20
Filed: 1997-12-09
Abstract: A shunt valve is provided for insertion into a surgically produced connecting canal between the trachea and the esophagus. The valve has a tube-like section (1) with an open lumen (11) to be turned towards the trachea and a closable lumen end (14) which is to be turned towards the esophagus and which can be closed by a flap valve (2) functioning on one side. The flap (3) of the valve is spring loaded in such a way that the flap valve (2) remains in closed position during insufficient counterforce and allows a flow of air from the trachea to the esophagus during inhalation and opening of the flap (3). The tubular section (1) is provided with a physiologically compatible plastic sleeve (4). The pivoting area (7) of the flap (3) of the flap valve (2) is substantially completely covered by a roof-like protuberance (10) of the plastic sleeve. An elastic force acting upon the flap (3) is produced by a restoring spring (8) formed in the roof-like covering area of the plastic sleeve (4) and coming into direct contact with the flap (3) at one of its ends (9), thereby forcing the flap into the closed position.

Abstract: A powder of magnetized material is added to an aeration chamber, and
aeration is conducted. The mixture is then sent to a sedimentation chamber, and
solid-liquid separation is conducted. A portion of the precipitated sludge is
