Inventor: HOUDEAU DETLEF DR
IPC: G06F3/02
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: The appts. has a make and break contact (18) on the middle section beneath the sensor element (2). A leaf spring (15) holds the element off the base (6) apart from the contact. When the button is pressed, the contact is closed and the sensor element is activated. When the button is not pressed, the contact is open and the sensor element is therefore deactivated. The user can feel the middle of the sensor field and there is a mechanical or acoustic acknowledgement of successful touch. The sensor (1) consists of the biometric sensor element with an upper sensor surface (3) formed so the details of a finger pressed on the surface are detected. A flexible circuit board (4) provides current to the element and connects the upper surface to an electronic processing unit. The board is in contact with contact locations (5) on the upper sensor surface. The sensor is located in a housing with a cup shaped base (6).

Abstract: A polymer battery is herein disclosed which
comprises a pair of electrodes for carrying out the
receipt and release of electrons in accordance with an
oxidation-reduction reaction of a compound to take out an
electric energy, and an electrolyte, a solid electrolyte
or a gel electrolyte, wherein as a compound constituting
the electrodes, a π-conjugated polymer including a
nitrogen atom and/or a quinone compound is used; as the
electrolyte, the solid electrolyte or the gel electrolyte,
a compound containing a proton is used; and the receipt
and release of the electrons in accordance with the

Abstract: A method and system for fumigating a region with a non-flammable gaseous mixture
including phosphine. A sensor (74a-c) senses the concentration of phosphine for
atmosphere of the region (44a-c) and a flow controller (38) controls flow to the
region (44a-c) in response to the sensed concentration. A recycling passage (42)
removes a portion of the atmosphere from the region and returns the atmosphere to
create a recycle flow through the region. In addition, a gas mixing system (20) is
provided to supply the non flammable mixture by mixing phosphine from a
phosphine source (24) and an inert substance from an inert substance source (22).

arithmetic array, comprises: a rectilinear array of logic cells (10) pitched with first
and second general cell pitches P 1 , P 2 , respectively, in first and second axial
directions, respectively, of the array; a first array of wires (12) each extending

Abstract: Pneumatic tire
with block-shaped land portions (18) that are divided by main
grooves (14) and lug grooves (16) on the tread (12) of a studless tire (10)
and a plurality of transverse sipings (20) are formed on each of the
block-shaped land portions (18). Each siping (20) is formed from a first
linear portion (20A), a second linear portion (20B), and a sloping line
portion (20C). The first linear portion (20A) essentially extends in a
direction perpendicular to the surface (18A) of the block-shaped land
portion (18) and contacts the surface (18A), the second linear portion
(20B) essentially extends in a direction perpendicular to the surface
(18A) and is separated from the surface (18A), and the sloping line
portion (20C) inclines to connect the ends of the first linear portion
(20A) and the second linear portion (20B). In each of the sipings (20), the
position (D1) of the sloping line portion (20C) is set to 10% to 60% of
the siping depth (D). As a result, deterioration of ground-contacting
performance when the number of sipings is increased is prevented.
In this way, wet grip performance, braking performance on ice,
traction performance, and irregular wear resistance can be improved.

Abstract: An implantable cardioversion/defibrillation device includes a
cardioversion signal generator and a defibrillator signal generator. Heart beat
rates are classified into a first an intermediate an a second range. A ventricle
state determinator is also provided to determine the current status of the
ventricle. At the low and high rates cardioversion and fibrillation signals are

the ventricle is stable, cardioversion signals are generated and applied. If the
ventricle is unstable, then defibrillation signals are applied. Ventricle stability
is determined from the variability of the ventricular rate.

Abstract: The treatment of used coolants comprises the addition of an alkali or acid to the oil to give a pH ≤ 3 or ≥ 10. By means of two electrodes the solution is then electrolysed using a voltage of 10-20 V, a current of 15-25 A and a current density of 1-5 A/dm<2>. The consumption (C) is 15-25 wh/l. The emulsion is destabilised and the separated oil can be withdrawn. 1-3 g/l of iron chloride (FeCl2) is added to the remaining liquid and the solution is electrolysed at 9-14 V and a current density ≥ 4 A/dm<2>. The consumption is 60-100 wh/l and the final pH is ≤ 3 or ≥ 10. Alkali is then added to a pH of 8-9 and a muddy precipitate is obtained which is separated from a residual water effluent only slightly polluted by oil and organic compounds.

Abstract: On a source side, piezo-electric elements (34) are
arranged such that vibration direction is
perpendicular to a wall of a bore hole (12), and then
an anvil (42) arranged on the piezo-electric elements
in a bore hole wall side is pressure-contacted to the
wall of the bore hole by a clamping mechanism (64).
On a receiver side, upper and lower portion of
another bore hole (112) are closed by a packer (182)
and a shut-off valve (180), respectively, thereby
preventing the fluid from flowing, and a cable (150)
above a vibration receiver is fixed to the wall of
said another bore hole (112) by a clamping mechanism
(164), thereby reducing noise propagating through the
cable. This increases measuring depth and crosswell
distance of petroleum exploration and soil
investigation by acoustic tomography, which causes
applicability to be spread.
