Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif de mesure d'un courant de faisceau associé à un nouveau procédé permettant de soustraire le courant de repos traversant les transistors émetteur-suiveur du courant total traversant ces transistors émetteur-suiveur dans le but d'obtenir une mesure du courant de faisceau réel. A la place de deux miroirs de courant, on utilise deux circuits cascodes repliés. Le courant de faisceau mesuré représente ainsi le courant réel augmenté d'une valeur de décalage engendrée par la différence entre les courants issus des deux sources de courant utilisées avec les cascodes repliés.

Abstract: A synchronizing signal generator produces a PAL standard horizontal synchronizing signal using a PAL standard subcarrier signal as a timing reference. The synchronizing signal period is not an even multiple of the subcarrier signal period. To produce the synchronizing (sync) signal, the generator first frequency multiplies and divides the input signal to produce a reference signal having a period that is a rational multiple of the subcarrier signal period but smaller than the desired sync signal period. The generator then delays each successive pulse of the reference signal by increasingly longer delay times to produce the sync signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a depilation apparatus, comprising a housing which accommodates a pinching member for consecutively pinching hairs growing from human skin and twisting the pinched hairs about their longitudinal axes. According to the invention, the pinching member holds the pinched hairs in a substantially constant position relative to the housing while twisting the hairs. In this manner, the pinching member does not pull at the hairs and, therefore, does not cause any pain while twisting the hairs. The hairs are twisted by the pinching member until the adhesion between the hairs and the skin tissue is broken or until the hairs are broken beneath the skin surface. After having been twisted in this manner, the hairs can be removed from the skin substantially without pain. The pinching member of a preferred embodiment of the depilation device comprises at least two co-operating pinching elements which are periodically movable from a hair trapping position to a pinching position and from the pinching position back to the hair trapping position, the pinching elements sliding along one another in the pinching position at speeds which are equal but oppositely directed relative to the housing.
