Abstract: An optical spray paint optimization system can be removably mounted to a spray paint gun, thus enhancing the ability of the user to guide the direction of the spray and also locate the nozzle at an optimum spray distance from the surface being painted. The preferred apparatus uses a diode laser, a beam splitter and a reflecting mirror to generate a reference beam and a gauge beam. The reference beam propagates in a fixed forward direction, but the direction of the gauge beam is adjustable by adjusting the attitude of the reflecting mirror. The reference beam and the gauge beam intersect at a convergence point which can be repositioned to a selected distance from the nozzle of the spray painting system by adjusting the path of the gauge beam, thus allowing the user to spray at the optimum spray distance by locating the convergence point on the surface being painted. The beams also aid in aiming the spray.

Abstract: A fat obtainable by subjecting the fat mixture of a vegetable fat and an animal fat, for example bovine tallow or a bovine tallow fraction, to an interesterification. This considerably improves the crystallization rate of the fat mixture. The interesterification also increases the solid fat content at room temperature of 20 to 25 DEG C, whereas the solid fat content is decreased at temperatures of 35 to 40 DEG  C. The fats thus produced are outstandingly suitable, in combination which binders such as flours and starches, for use in the industrial production of dry soups and dry sauces.

Abstract: An electrotransport system (20) for delivery of a drug through the skin (63) of a patient includes a tactile signal generator (36) for generating and transmitting a tactile signal to the skin of a patient upon the occurrence of an event associated with the operation of the system. The tactile signal may be an electric AC signaling current (Sr, Sp) applied through the skin, ie, an electric current different from the therapeutic electrotransport drive current. The electric signaling current is preferably a pulsed current of sufficient frequency and amplitude to allow the patient to feel it. The tactile signal may alternatively be generated by an electromechanical device in contact with the skin such as a piezoelectric vibrating element or magnetodynamic element such as a solenoid driven pin. The waveform of the tactile signaling current preferably has a zero average current component such that no net therapeutic drug is delivered by the tactile signal current. In certain cases, the tactile signaling current may contribute to electrotransport drug delivery.

Abstract: In an externally controlled electronic ballast, a driving circuit which requires a dedicated supply voltage is provided for the purpose of driving an inventor half bridge. The driving circuit is constructed such that the inventor half bridge blocks when the supply voltage Vcc falls below a threshold value UVLO. Via a self-holding controllable electronic switch and a Z diode DZ2, a voltage monitoring circuit draws the supply voltage Vcc below the threshold value UVLO when an excessively high lamp voltage is detected. The ballast is thereby inactive. A current sensing path which leads via at least one filament of the low-pressure gas discharge lamp serves to detect a change of lamp. The current sensing path controls a further electronic switch, which is likewise connected to the supply voltage Vcc of the driving circuit and can, when it conducts, draw said voltage further to frame than the first switch. The second electronic switch connected to the current sensing path thus permits automatic restarting of the ballast after the change of lamp by bringing the first switch into a non-conductive state again by firstly further lowering the supply voltage Vcc below the value prescribed by said switch.
