Abstract: There is disclosed a damping coefficient switching-type hydraulic damper that may automatically switch a damping coefficient without needing supply of energy from the outside at all, and also may always surely exert an energy absorption capacity greater than that of a typical hydraulic damper. While a piston (3) is moving in a direction A, a mechanical drive means (30) composed of a straight gear (31) and a crank mechanism (31) allows an on-off control operation valve (11), that is, a flow regulating valve (10) to be placed in a closed state, and a damping coefficient is switched to a maximum value Cmax. When a movement of the piston (3) is turned in a direction B at a left-side maximum point of amplitude, the mechanical drive means (30) works to once open the flow regulating valve (10) to perform elimination of a load, so that the damping coefficient is switched to a minimum value (Cmin). When the piston (3) further moves in the direction B, the mechanical drive means (30) works to close the flow regulating valve (10) again, and the damping coefficient is returned to the maximum value (Cmax). Similar working to the above is also applied to a right-side maximum point of amplitude, and seismic response control is attained with repetition of the above operations.

Abstract: The heating blanket comprises a conducting metal band (3) serving as a resistance heater, supplied with current at its ends (C,D). This is embedded between two flexible insulating sheets of material (1). The supporting band may be cut to a required length, since the metal band has a periodically repeating pattern.  The flexible heating blanket includes a fine, conducting metal band (3) which is intended to be supplied with electric current at its ends (C,D), embedded between two flexible insulating sheets of material (1). The conducting band is made up from at least two elements (3a, 3b) running in a serpentine fashion, parallel to each other but spaced apart, from one end of the sheet (A) to the other. The conducting band is fastened to at least one of the supporting sheets by adhesive, and has a periodically repeating pattern extending longitudinally down the sheet. This allows the sheet to be cut at one of a sequence of positions, in order to provide a pair of conductors with accessible connections (C, D; E, F). The supporting sheets may also have apertures (30) cut at repeating intervals along their respective edges.

Abstract: The invention relates to control of an electric incandescent filament lamp
whereby the initial power load of the lamp after switching on is limited so
that the expected service life of the lamp will be relatively long. During an
initial phase (T wu ) after a switch-on signal is received, the lamp is supplied
with a pulsed driving current (I). The incandescent filament of the lamp is
thereby gradually warmed up without any need to limit an initial current
peak (I pk ). The result is that the lamp is not subject to unnecessary stress
associated with switching on. At the same time, a simple modification of
an existing device for control of an electric incandescent filament lamp is
possible so that said device functions according to the proposed principle.

of the first and second sensors by the respective markers. One of the sensors is then
moved to a position where substantially simultaneous triggering of the sensors by the
markers can be resumed. The distance the sensor has to be moved is measured to
