Abstract: Cylindrical tap selector for step-down transformers, in which fixed contacts (4) are arranged in at least two circular paths (I,...,VI) situated above one another,  and in which there is provided for each circular path a contact bridge (5), the inner end of which slides on a contact ring (6) situated in the plane of the circular path, and the outer end of which comes into contact in steps with the tap contacts of the corresponding circle. The contact bridges of different planes are guided by means of two tubular actuating shafts (7, 8), which are actuated at their upper ends by means of intermittent gearing (2). One actuating shaft (8) - the inner one - extends at least partially inside the other actuating shaft (7). In its region situated outside the outer actuating shaft (7), it is widened to the diameter of the outer actuating shaft and guided with the widened lower end in a central bearing (11) of the tap selector. At its lower free end, the outer actuating shaft is mounted on the inner actuating shaft by means of a plurality of guide blocks (12), which are arranged between the two actuating shafts.

Abstract: Product for activating the operation of a system for anaerobic digestion of organic residues and especially of a septic tank or similar while being placed in this system and especially the septic tank. Its distinguishing feature is that, owing to the qualitative modification of the hydrolysis process taking place in the system and especially the septic tank, its function is to fractionate the cellulose fibers and to densify the lightest flocs which it contains, the effect of this being to decrease the volume of the sludge present in the system and especially the septic tank, at an equal solids content.

Abstract: Said device (AFG) comprises two separate partial devices (A, B) interacting through antenna arrangements (1, 11). The first partial device (A) includes a high-frequency generator (4) for producing a carrier frequency, a high-frequency line (3) leading to the antenna (101) and a high-frequency demodulator (56). The latter includes a directional coupler (5) and a detector diode (6), both connected upstream from a discriminator and signal-processing unit (8). Power is supplied to said partial device (A) by a supply unit (58). The second partial device (B) includes a high-frequency direct current converter (14), a voltage-controlled resistance (16), a modulator (62) and a signal transmitter (19). Four-wire networks (102, 112) make the antenna arrangements (1, 11) self-resonant as regards carrier frequency; said arrangements are located in each other's near fields. The carrier frequency emitted by the first antenna (101) is received by the second antenna (111) and converted to direct current (i). The signal (S) produced by the signal transmitter (19) modulates the direct current (i) by means of a corresponding subcarrier frequency (f), resulting in an absorption modulation which retroacts on the first antenna (101) and on the high-frequency demodulator (56). The latter delivers the corresponding subcarrier frequency (f), from which the discriminator and signal-processing unit (8) derives an output signal (SS) corresponding to the signal (S) emitted by the signal transmitter (19). Said device can be used wherever signal transmitters which cannot be accessed by direct transmission, in particular measuring probes, are to be interrogated, for example in the case of signal transmitters implanted in living organisms.

Abstract: A ladle is used in the manufacture of metals and for receiving molten metal for further chemical processing or for transportation. The ladle comprises a glass-cement outer shell (18), refractory linings (20,22) and trunnions (30). The ladle is transparent to a wide range of electromagnetic radiation wavelengths which allows the metal to be heated or stirred by induction without heating the ladle itself. As the ladle is made of glass fibre and an inorganic cement, strength is provided along with high temperature resistance. The ladle is manufactured by winding glass fibre around a mandrel, and incorporating an inorganic cement. The cement may be coated on the fibre as an aqueous slurry, and the product allowed to air cure after winding. Alternatively, the cement may be adhered to the fibre by electrostatic attraction. After winding is complete, additional cement may be added and the product placed in an autoclave supplied with steam whereby the cement takes up water; it is then allowed to cure. After curing, the moulding is preferably sawn in half to form two inductively transparent ladles.

Abstract: The cylindrical pill dispenser has two main constituents which have concentric walls (1, 2) and are displaceable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction. 
<??>The inner concentric wall (2) has at least one recess (3), in which an inwardly directed counter-piece (4) on the inside surface of the outer concentric wall (2) fits. The two concentric walls (1, 2) have the correct angular position relative to each other and the pill dispenser can be actuated only when the counter-piece (4) is aligned precisely above the recess (3). Upon actuation in a different relative angular position of the two main constituents, the counter-piece (4) strikes against the upper edge (5) of the inner concentric wall (2). The pill dispenser is thus child-resistant.
