Abstract: The invention relates to an optical scanning device for apparatuses for recording and/or reproducing information on optical recording media, which is suitable in particular for recording and/or reproducing information at high speed, such as, for example, the scanning of a DVD at a twelve-fold speed. According to the invention, the optical scanning device has a lens holder which is formed by a hollow body and whose side walls are arranged such that they run at an angle to a connecting point with its elastic support. The thus hexagonally formed lens holder has advantageous air chambers and an enlarged distance from the lens, and also an elastic support deviating from a parallel guide, which lead to a low degree of lens tilting, improved guidance properties and a natural resonance behaviour which is necessary for scanning at high speed. The field of application relates to the production of scanning devices for optical recording media which are provided for recording and/or reproducing information at high speed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition, especially for conducting UV dosimetry, containing at least one hydroxyl radical donor, which forms hydroxyl radicals when irradiated with UV light. The inventive composition also comprises one or more dyestuffs, which absorb in the UV and visible domain and which, during reaction, react with the hydroxyl radicals that are formed by the hydroxyl radical donor when irradiated with UV light in order to form products exhibiting an absorption characteristic that differs from the absorption of the dyestuff. The composition is to be used in a so-called sun sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a friction clutch in which the
wear in the sliding state can be reduced and an automatic transmission
of an automobile using the friction clutch and a non-stage transmission
of an automobile and a power distribution device of an automobile and
a power transmission device of a motorcycle. That is, according to
the present invention, in a configuration of making a pair of clutch
members (1,3) opposite to each other in a radial direction with a plurality
of rollers (2) held between them, an angle of a turning axis of each roller
relative to the rotation axis of a clutch member is made more than 10°
and less than 20°, and in the meantime, the angle of the turning axis
of each roller relative to the plane including the rotation axis of
the clutch member is made more than 25° and less than 90°, so that a
stable frictional force may be generated at all times. In this case,
when a load in an axial direction is added to the clutch member, each
roller generates sliding friction while turning, and therefore, a wear
is extremely smaller than that of a structure of bringing the respective
fellow clutch plates into surface contact with each other like a
multiple disk clutch.

Abstract: Biological treatment bed for liquid or gas formed by meandering plastic strips under tension within a tank. In a biological fluid treatment process the liquid or gas flows through a tank having an extended submerged fixed bed bearing a colony of micro-organisms. The fixed bed is a web of fan-folded plastic foil strip fixed at the top and bottom to create a long meandering passage between opposing foil faces. Following installation of the foil, the suspension points are moved apart from each other to place the foil strips under tension, creating a fixed bed which operates in the same way as tubes passing through otherwise solid blocks.

Abstract: Key-dependent sampling of a biometric characteristic is performed at a client, to thereby generate key-dependent biometric data samples. The key-dependent biometric data samples are then transmitted from the client to a server. By sampling the biometric characteristic at the client in a key-dependent manner, the key-dependent biometric data samples may be transmitted from the client to the server without the need for additional encryption and/or a signature. A key is preferably transmitted from the server to the client. The key is then used to perform the key-dependent sampling of the biometric characteristic at the client. The key-dependent sampling may be performed by sampling the biometric characteristic at a sampling frequency that is a function of the key. Alternatively, the key can be applied to the sampled biometric data, to thereby generate the key-dependent biometric data samples that are a function of the key. The key is preferably used to perform nonlinear key-dependent sampling of the biometric characteristic at the client, for example by using the key to determine the sampling frequency and also using the key to apply a nonlinear function to the sampled biometric data. Further encryption of the biometric data and/or the use of a signature with the biometric data need not be performed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil orthodontique tel qu'un verrou ou un tube buccal, pourvu d'un cliquet permettant de retenir un arc dentaire dans une encoche. Le cliquet libère l'arc dentaire de l'encoche chaque fois que l'arc dentaire exerce une force sur ledit appareil dans une direction généralement buccolabiale excédant une certaine valeur minimum. Cette valeur minimum est inférieure à environ la moitié de la force nécessaire dans la même direction pour désolidariser l'appareil d'une dent, réduisant ainsi la probabilité que l'appareil pourrait involontairement se désolidariser d'une dent pendant la durée du traitement orthodontique.

L'invention concerne également un circuit de commande (31, 38) servant à commander les alimentations de courant auxiliaires et principales (5, 6). L'ensemble principal de bobines (1), l'ensemble de bobines de correction B0 (2) et le circuit de commande (31, 38) sont conçus pour compenser du moins en partie l'effet de variation du champ magnétique à l'intérieur du volume de travail avec temps.
