Title: Bouches d'incendie equipees d'une seconde vanne
Inventor: DAVIDSON THOMAS DEWEY
IPC: E03B9/16
Filed: 2003-11-25
Abstract: L'invention concerne des bouches d'incendie comprenant une structure supplémentaire permettant de réduire la pollution éventuelle de systèmes municipaux d'approvisionnement en eau par des personnes mal intentionnées par introduction de toxines et d'autres matériaux dans lesdites bouches d'incendie. Dans différents modes de réalisation, des vannes ferment des parties de prise d'eau autrement disponibles pour recevoir des matériaux toxiques ou autres lorsque le bouchon de buse de la bouche d'eau est dévissé et ouvert. Ces vannes sont ouvertes, de préférence, manuellement ou automatiquement, lorsque l'eau s'écoule de l'alimentation d'eau à travers la buse, condition qui rend difficile au mieux l'introduction de toxines à travers la bouche dans l'eau d'alimentation, mais ferment des parties de la colonne lorsque la buse est ouverte et que l'eau ne s'écoule pas à travers ladite buse.

Abstract: A mobile cellular telephone including an incline sensor arranged to detect inclination of the mobile telephone in a first plane. The mobile cellular telephone has an inclinometer mode, in which a processor receives an indication of the detected incline in the first plane from the incline sensor and controls a display to display an item at a position dependent upon the received indication. A mobile cellular telephone including first incline sensor means for detecting inclination of the mobile telephone when in a first orientation and second incline sensor means for detecting inclination of the mobile telephone when in a second orientation. The mobile cellular telephone has an inclinometer mode, in which a processor determines an approximate orientation of the mobile telephone from inputs from the first and second incline sensor means and automatically controls the display to display an item at a position representative of the incline for the determined orientation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gap adjusting device that
allows gap adjustment with a small torque and also allows more
gap positions to be set. The gap adjusting device (50) rotates bushing
members (67,68) so as to change level (PG, paper gap) of carriage guide shafts (11,12)
for guiding a carriage (13). An intermediate gear (65) that engages with
the bushing members (67,68) has a boss (65c) to be inserted into a cam groove (53)
formed in a slidable member (51) that can slide. In accordance with
a sliding operation of the slidable member (51), PG is changed.
The weights of the carriage (13) and the carriage guide shafts (11,12) are
transmitted to the boss (65c) via the bushing members (67,68) and the
intermediate gear (65) and therefore the boss (65c) is pushed against a
sidewall of the cam groove (53) to be in contact with the sidewall,
thereby PG is maintained. Therefore, the slidable member (51)
can be caused to slide with a small torque.

development of such isolated cone cells. 
     The means of the invention are applicable to adult mammalian cone cells, and more
particularly to adult human cone cells. They have the advantage of being applicable to
pathologic or otherwise altered cone cells, and thus give access to the screening of
compounds capable of showing neuroprotective activity on adult cone cells.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for continuous filtering of particles out of a contaminated liquid by means of a number of separate filtering units ( 14 ) in order continuously to feed purified liquid to a consumer. Each filtering unit ( 14 ) comprises a rotatable, perforated drum ( 16 ) with a particle-catching filter means ( 18 ) on the outer surface of the drum. A first predetermined degree of coating with particles is created on the filter means of the drums, and purified liquid inside all the drums of the filtering units ( 14 ) except at least one, which is kept inactive in a standby state by shutting off the associated pump ( 26 ), is then fed to a consumer. The feed of purified liquid from a drum to the consumer is interrupted when a second predetermined, higher degree of coating with particles has been reached on the filter means on an individual drum, at least one filtering unit kept in standby state being activated as replacement for the filtering unit(s) from which the feed of purified liquid has been interrupted. The filter means of each filtering unit shut down is cleaned, and liquid in the tank is made to pass through the cleaned filter means and to circulate back to the tank until the first predetermined degree of coating with particles has been reached on the filter means of the drum. The cleaned shut-down filtering unit is put in a standby state by shutting off its pump. The second, higher degree of coating is detected by means of a respective pressure sensor coordinated with each filtrate outlet pipe ( 24 ).
