Abstract: The fastener for a wristwatch band comprises two hollow elements (1, 2) which are arched to follow the curve of the wrist and each fixed to the end (9, 13) of one of the standard-length sides of a band. The element (1) is twice as long as the element (2). The latter can slide freely in the element (1) on a shoulder (19) of the flanks of the latter. The element (2) is usually locked in the element (1) by a leaf spring (21) carrying a row of ratchet-teeth (24) in its front part and whose rear end (22) is fixed to the bottom of a channel (4). The front end of the leaf (21) is folded so as to form a gripping element. With the aid of conventional spring bars (10, 14), the ends (9, 13) of the sides of the band can be fixed more or less deeply into the elements (1, 2) of the fastener by engaging the bars (10, 14) in those of the pairs of holes (7, 11) made through the flanks of the elements (1, 2) which match the dimensions of the wristwatch-wearer's wrist. According to the diurnal variations in the dimensions of his wrist, the user can make a fine adjustment to the length of his band by raising the end (23) of the leaf (21) which releases the element (2), as if to open the band, and makes it possible to place it in the desired position. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Une roue (10) possede une jante (14) sur laquelle est monte un pneu (12). Le pneu (12) possede une partie de contact avec la jante (28) et un talon ou un bandage resistant au roulement (32). Un organe de renforcement (38) sensiblement inextensible et s'etendant sur la circonference est monte dans le pneu (12) a proximite de la partie de contact de la jante (28) pour accroitre le frottement par interference entre la partie de contact de la jante (28) et la jante (14) et pour rigidifier la partie de contact de la jante (28). Dans bon nombre de pneus existants l'on remarque un glissement de la partie de contact avec la jante (28) par rapport a la jante (14). Dans beaucoup de cas cette abrasion n'est pas prononcee et/ou localisee. Elle se traduit par une usure de la partie de contact avec la jante (28), une augmentation de la resistance au roulement du pneu, et produit un echauffement. En rigidifiant la gomme a proximite de la jante (14) et en accroissant le frottement par interference entre le pneu (12) et la jante (14), ainsi que le permet la presente invention, ce deplacement relatif est reduit ou elimine.

Abstract: Une structure tubulaire laminee (10) est obtenue par un procede dans lequel une chemise en tissu (12) est appliquee autour d'un tuyau (11) de polymere thermoplastique, apres quoi des chevilles (16, 17) sont inserees dans les extremites opposees du manchon interieur (11). Un liquide, tel que de l'eau, est introduit dans le manchon interieur (11), et l'on fait tourner le manchon interieur (11) autour d'un axe horizontal tout en appliquant de la chaleur a la surface exterieure du manchon interieur, ce qui provoque la fusion de la surface. La chaleur provoque aussi la vaporisation d'une partie du liquide contenu dans le manchon interieur (11) et la pression de vapeur resultante provoque une dilatation radiale de la surface en fusion du manchon interieur (11) dans les interstices de la chemise en tissu (17). La surface interne du manchon interieur reste solide et garde sa forme, en raison du liquide a l'interieur du manchon et de la chaleur absorbee lors de la vaporisation du liquide. Lors du refroidissement, on obtient une bonne liaison entre le manchon interieur (11) et la chemise (12). Le composite manchon interieur-chemise peut etre renforce ulterieurement en l'entourant d'une couche (13) de resine thermodurcissable contenant des fibres de renforcement, la couche de resine etant liee au composite au moyen de la chemise.

Abstract: A modified activated sludge system is provided wherein wastewater containing BOD and phosphate values is admixed with biomass-containing recycled sludge under conditions effecting sorption of BOD in the biomass (A), then said wastewater is subjected to aeration in an oxidation zone (B) under conditions effecting oxidation of BOD, including a dissolved oxygen level in said zone of less than one part per million. By such operation, considerable savings in power requirements for oxygen transfer to the mixed liquid are had, while developing and maintaining a dense non-bulking biomass having the properties of good removal of phosphate from the waste-water influent. By operating the system at high influent throughput rate (F/M), external oxygen requirement for BOD removal is minimized.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for performing X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis where the physical relationship between the source / detector and the object being examined is not controlled. This technique and apparatus is particularly advantageous in performing an in situ analysis of the concentration of one or more elements present in a matrix of a material such as rock. in accordance with this aspect of our invention, such a mineral assay is performed by drilling a borehole into the matrix, inserting into the borehole a probe containing a suitable XRF source detector, irradiating the matrix, detecting the spectrum of radiation that is produced and analyzing this spectrum. Preferably, the concentration of the assayed element is determined from the following formula:
     where S is the number of photons counted having energies in a signal range where the X-ray spectral line of the assayed element is observed, C is the number of photons counted in a range where a radiation peak is observed, B is the number of photons counted in a background range, E is the number of photons counted in a range adjacent that where said radiation peak is observed, and K, through K 6  are empirically determined constants relating to the performance of the probe.

Abstract: A flush valve of the flapper type is arranged to provide either a low volume or a high volume flush. A float (8) is provided with two holes (22, 23) located below the level of an encircling seal (6) which is normally engaged with a valve seat (5) on the upper end of the cistern water outlet pipe (1) to prevent water flow. The float (8) is pivoted at (14) on a support (16). Prior to flushing the float is full of air, but after the float has been manually lifted to remove the seal (6) from the seat (5) and initiate flushing the float begins to fill with water until, if permitted by the user, the float will fall to terminate the flush and thereby give a low volume flush. Water then drains from the lower hole (22) and the float is replenished with air in readiness for the next operation.

Abstract: A control apparatus for combine harvester is described which includes a microcomputer for correlating the rate of intake of the crop with the measured grain loss taking into consideration the transit time of the crop through the harvester, and on the basis of this relationship controls the ground speed of the harvester so that a predetermined grain loss is maintained. The crop intake rate is ascertained from the thickness of the mass of crop being fed into the harvester by the crop elevator at the front of the harvester. Other ways of ascertaining the crop intake rate may be employed. The grain loss is ascertained from the number of grains striking grain detectors in the path of the straw and chaff blown out of the rear of the harvester. The crop intake rate and the grain loss are averaged over short periods of time before correlation so as to enable the correlation to tolerate the dispersion of the crop in its passage through the harvester.

Abstract: A fail-safe optical T-coupler (21) for coupling a local terminal having at least one light source (25) and at least one photodetector (26) to a segmented optical data bus (22) comprises an optically transparent acousto-optic cell (42), a pair of collimating lenses (41) for coupling adjacent segments of the data bus to opposite ends of the acoustic-optic cell symmetrically with respect to the optical axis of the coupler so that there is a fail-safe path for transmitting remotely injected light from one segment the bus to the next, and at least one acoustic driver (45) for coupling acoustic bulk waves into the acousto-optic cell to selectively establish or intensify an ultransonic grating along an acoustic axis. For interfacing the terminal with the data bus, the collimating lenses couple each light source and adjacent segments of the data bus to opposite ends of the acousto-optic cell symmetrically with respect to the acoustic axis of the coupler so that the ultransonic grating Bragg reflects locally injected light from each light source into the data bus. A similar relationship may be maintained between each photodetector and a corresponding segment of the data bus for Bragg reflection of remotely injected light from the data bus segment to the photodetector. Alternatively, the coupler may include a means for passively reflecting remotely injected light to the photodetector or photodetectors.
