Abstract: In the rear shaft part (20) of the ski boot, the threaded rod (30), which runs parallel to the sole and transversely to the longitudinal direction (36) of the boot, is mounted rotatably but not longitudinally displaceably. The threaded rod (30) has two opposite- running threads (38, 38'), on which the holding elements (28) with corresponding internal threads (42, 42') are located. By means of the toggle (32), the distance (B) between the holding elements (28) is adjustable. The holding elements (28) act on the inner boot (24) and thus on the heel bone in the region of the Achilles tendon and afford the skier a painless snug fit in the ski boot. After adjustment of the distance (B), the toggle (32) is pivoted into the recess (48) in the rear shaft part (20) in order that it does not project. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a biograting for use in a light diffraction immunoassay is disclosed. The process comprises adhering a uniform layer of binding reagent on a smooth, solid surface and exposing the surface to UV radiation through a shadow mask with diffraction grating lines to selectively deactivate the binding reagent leaving a biological diffraction grating design of lines of active binding reagent. The method comprises applying the binding reagent to a surface selected from the group consisting of polysilicon and single crystalline silicon surfaces having on said surface, a biological diffraction grating design of lines of active binding reagent, and casting a precise focused shadow on the binding reagent layer without physically contacting the binding reagent layer with the shadow mask. With the biograting of this invention, the binding reagent is preferably chosen to bind selectively the organic analyte such as a microbe or fragment of a bacteria, virus, Mycoplasmatales, spore, parasite, yeast, enzyme, carbohydrate, antigenic protein such as an immunoglobulin, or organic compounds and substances having lower molecular weights. 
     A diffraction binding assay method for determining the presence or quantity of an analyte in an aqueous sample comprises contacting a diffraction binding assay surface with the sample for a time sufficient to permit conjugation of binding reagent and analyte, the diffraction binding assay surface being selected from the group consisting of polysilicon and single crystalline silicon surfaces having on said surface, a light disturbing design of substantially non-light disturbing binding reagent thereon, the binding reagent being selected to bind selectively with the analyte; separating the surface from the sample; and illuminating the diffraction binding assay surface with light from a light source, and determining the light diffracted by the diffraction binding assay surface.

Abstract: Composite breathable film comprising a breathable polyolefin film heat laminated to a nonwoven HDPE fabric. Preferably, the breathable film is prepared by melt embossing a highly filled polyolefin film to impose a pattern of different film thickness therein, and stretching the embossed film. The nonwoven fabric is made by cross-laminating HDPE fibers at the crossing points to form a thin open mesh fabric, and coextruding a heat seal layer thereon. The composite is made by heat laminating the breathable film to the heat seal layer of the fabric. The resulting laminate has excellent water vapor transmissibility, air resistance and strength and is particularly adapted for use as a housewrap.

Abstract: Ultra-rapid annealing of grain oriented electrical steel to a temperature prior to the final high temperature anneal results in improved texture and smaller secondary grain size. The ultra-rapid anneal requires heating the strip to a temperature above about 677°C (1250°F) at a rate above 100°C per second (180°F per second). The ultra-rapid anneal is performed after the first stage of cold rolling and prior to or as part of the decarburization anneal. The material will survive a subsequent stress relief anneal and may be further improved by various domain treatments. The ultra-rapid anneal increases productivity and produces improved core loss properties.

Abstract: An electrorheological fluid torque transmission and conversion system provides for variable control of torque in clutch and brake applications. Communication of mechanical energy between the drive elements (30,18) is accomplished by magnetic coupling to eliminate the need for a dynamic fluid seal for interface of moving parts to the interior portion of the electrorheological fluid containment chamber (16). Permanent magnets (44,46) are associated respectively with each of a first member (36) and a second member (38) which are magnetically coupled through a surface (34) with low magnetic permeability such that the first member (36) and second members rotate (38) in unison. A variety of permanent arrangemnets may be utilized. Further, the drive element (42) internal to the electrorheological fluid chamber (16) may be both mechanically and electrically decoupled. A floating electrode may be capacitively coupled through the fluid to the power supply. Inner and outer conductive plates (56,58) are provided for increased fluid surface contact area. Spacing between the inner and outer plates (56,58) is determined by the thick­ness of inner and outer ring members (60,62) therebetween, which may be easily removed and replaced for simplified assembly and adjustment. Condition responsive control of the electrorheological fluid torque transmission and conversion system is provided by closed-loop feedback of a   signal indicative of rotational speed between the drive elements to the control system. The control system (12) may also incorporate internal power generation (80) to provide a self-contained system which does not require an external power source.
