Abstract: A liquid discharging method comprises the step of displacing the free end of the movable member following the creation of air bubble in the air bubble generating area. For this method, the fulcrum of the movable member is positioned on the side different from liquid discharging side with respect to the displacement area for the free end of the movable member to be displaceable, and at the same time, the free end thereof is arranged to face the effective bubbling area positioned on the downstream side of the central portion of the length of the effective bubbling area that forms the bubble generating area in the direction of the movable member from the fulcrum to the free end thereof, and a part of the effective bubbling area positioned to face the free end of the movable member on the downstream side of the effective bubbling area is arranged to face the displacement area directly. Thus, the initiation of the displacement of the free end of the movable member is effectuated quickly and reliably, and the pressure exerted by the air bubble creation is led to the discharge port side and the fulcrum side of the movable member sufficiently at the time of bubbling, and the development of air bubble that follows is directed to the discharge port side more reliably and efficiently.

Title: Detection du niveau de matieres
Inventor: HEWELT SCOTT M
IPC: G01F23/284
Filed: 1997-11-19
Abstract: Système pour détecter le niveau ponctuel de matière dans un récipient. Ce système se compose d'une sonde à ligne de transmission (36, 134) conçue pour être montée sur une paroi du récipient (24) de manière à se prolonger à l'intérieur de ce dernier pour entrer en contact avec les matières (22) lorsque ces dernières atteignent un niveau prédéterminé dans le récipient. Des composants électroniques (32a) sont couplés de manière opérationnelle à une extrémité de la sonde pour envoyer de l'énergie hyperfréquences le long de la sonde. Les composants électroniques sont sensibles à une modification de l'énergie hyperfréquences réfléchie par l'extrémité libre de la sonde dans le récipient lorsque la matière est en contact avec la sonde, et utilisent des techniques de réflectométrie en domaine temporel, pour indiquer que la matière est en contact avec la sonde. Ce changement dans l'énergie hyperfréquence réfléchie peut être une modification de phase ou, de préférence, une modification de la longueur apparente de la sonde résultant du contact avec une matière présentant une constante diélectrique plus élevée que celle de l'air lorsque l'air entoure la sonde. Les composants électroniques sont de préférence également sensibles à une diminution de la longueur apparente de la sonde indiquant une défectuosité de la ligne de transmission, de la sonde ou des composants électroniques.

Abstract: The invention is a PERFECTED ECOLOGICAL CAGE-TRAP of the type
used in nature parks and private game preserves to catch animals. It consists
of a parallelepiped structure on a suitably extended rectangular base, open at
the two smaller sides, where there are two doors with a perpendicular
retention lug on one of their edges. the doors move vertically like a guillotine.
Inside the cage, in the middle, there is a bar placed perpendicular to where the
animal enters on which a platform balances. That bar has an "L" shaped lug
which serves as a stop on the vertical part of a second "T" shaped bar, the
connection between the doors and the platform which perpendicularly
branches out in the upper part of the cage till reaching the two sides. The
ends are "L" shaped and provide support for perpendicular lugs of both side
doors. 
     Adjacent to the parallelepiped structure is another structure of similar
dimensions sharing a common wall, in which the bait is placed. 
     The bait to attract the animal is placed in this structure.The prey, attracted
by the bait, goes into the cage, upsets the balanced platform and the doors
come down trapping the animal. The distance to the doors prevents the animal
from escaping before they fall. The animal can be freed by manually lifting the
doors up through the runners.
