Abstract: A polarized electromagnetic relay is designed to have a minimum height as less as that of an electromagnet block (50) constituting one major part of the relay. The relay includes a base (10) which is formed to receive the electromagnet block and to have a set of fixed contacts (41,42). The electromagnet block includes a generally U-shaped yoke with a pair of opposed legs (51,52) connected by a center core and at least one excitation coil wound around the center core (53). An armature block (70) is mounted within the base together with the electromagnet block and comprises an elongated armature (80) extending over the opposed pole legs and pivotally supported for movement between first and second positions about a pivot axis. The armature block carries a movable contact (83) for contact selectively with one of the fixed contacts in response to the armature movement between the first and second positions. The armature is magnetically coupled to the pole legs by means of a permanent magnet (90) such that the armature block responds to polarity change in the current energizing the excitation coils (61,62) to move between the first and second positions. The permanent magnet is disposed in the bottom portion of the base within the plane of the pole legs. The armature block is disposed above the permanent magnet in such a manner that the armature block and the permanent are stacked within the height of the electromagnet block.

Abstract: A hearing aid (figs. 1,3) includes a filter (27) in an electrical feedback path (k-m), the characteristics of which filter (27) are calculated to model acoustic coupling between the receiver (11) and microphone (5) of the aid. A limiter (15) is inserted in the main electrical pathway (b-c-d-e-f-g) between the microphone (5) and the receiver (11) to provide stability in the presence of sudden sound bursts. A noise signal (N) is injected continuously into the electrical circuit and is used to adapt the characteristics of the filter (27) to accommodate changes in the acoustic coupling. The level of the noise signal (N) can be varied to match changes in residual signal level to maintain signal to noise ratio and to optimise the rate of adaption commensurate with satisfactory hearing function whilst the noise itself is unobtrusive to the user.

Abstract: A method of protecting a bare overhead conductor wherein a grease composition containing a plastics agent cross-linkable under the influence of ultra-violet radiation is applied to the conductor during its fabrication. The conductor when secured in place overhead is exposed to the ultra-violet radiation present in sunlight which causes cross-linking of the plastics agent present at the surface of the grease composition exposed to the sunlight, and thereby hardening of the grease composition at this surface. Such hardening prevents denudation of the conductor of the grease composition.
