Abstract: A device for straightening the body and the structures of a damaged vehicle, includes a master cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid, wherein moves a master piston under the action of a rotary member actuated by a motor. A slave cylinder is connected to the master cylinder through a flexible conduit extending from said master cylinder, and is designed to be connected by some means to the body or to the structure to be straightened. The slave cylinder receives a slave piston, driven in translation inside the slave cylinder under the action of the hydraulic fluid, so as to be urged to strike the neighbourhood of the end of said slave cylinder connected to the body or to the structure, by being subjected to a return force tending to bring it back to its initial position.

Abstract: A power management method is disclosed which provides power management for a hardware based Java accelerator. Initially, a Java mode signal is provided from a host processor in response to initiating a Java application. Thereafter, power to the host processor is reduced, and power to a Java processor is increased in response to the Java mode signal. Then, when execution of the Java application halts, a Java completion signal is generated from the Java processor, thus signaling the system to return control back to the host processor.

Abstract: A process for forming a coating on a conductive substrate, including the steps of: establishing a fluidised-bed of a powder coating composition, thereby effecting tribostatic charging of the powder coating composition, the fluidised-bed including a fluidising chamber at least a part of which is conductive, applying a voltage to the conductive part of the fluidising chamber, immersing the substrate wholly or partly in the fluidised bed, whereby charged particles of the powder coating composition adhere to the substrate, the substrate being either electrically isolated or earthed, withdrawing the substrate from the fluidised-bed and forming the adherent particles into a continuous coating over at least part of the substrate. The process offers advantages in terms of coating substrate areas which, because of the Faraday cage effect, are inaccessible in conventional electrostatic powder coating processes, and also enables the formation of thinner coatings than are obtainable by conventional fluidised-bed processes.

Abstract: In a dehumidification unit comprising alternate laminations of an adsorption element (1) which supports an adsorbent and which is provided with a first air ventilation passage (3) and a cooling element (2) which is provided with a second air ventilation passage (4), the first air ventilation passage (3) of the adsorption element (1) and the second air ventilation passage (4) of the cooling element (2) are adjacently formed, with a single plate member (P) lying between the first and second air ventilation passages (3, 4). As a result of such arrangement, as compared with a structure in which the air ventilation passages (3, 4) are adjacently formed with two plate members lying therebetween, the performance of heat transfer between the air ventilation passages (3, 4) is further improved, and the action of absorbing and removing heat of adsorption is promoted, whereby the dehumidification capability of the dehumidification unit is maintained at high levels over a long period of time. Furthermore, the dehumidification unit is made compact relative to its height direction by an amount corresponding to reduction in the number of plate members lying between the first air ventilation passage (3) and the second air ventilation passage (4), and cost savings are provided because of reduction in the number of component members. <IMAGE>
