Abstract: La lampe (10) objet de l'invention est alimentée par énergie solaire par l'intermédiaire de cellules photovoltaïques (14) qui chargent une batterie (12) afin de fournir un courant à une ampoule fluorescente (18) à cathode froide, en l'absence de lumière solaire. L'ampoule fluorescente (18) à cathode froide offre un éclairage plus intense et sa durée de vie est plus longue. La lampe (10) alimentée par énergie solaire comprend un circuit (16) destiné à transformer le courant faible fourni par la batterie en un courant alternatif suffisant pour faire fonctionner l'ampoule fluorescente (18) à cathode froide, cela permettant d'allonger la durée de vie de la lampe et d'obtenir un éclairage de plus grande intensité. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, une lentille (20) dotée de nervures verticales (22) autour de sa surface intérieure (24), entoure l'ampoule fluorescente (18) à cathode froide, ladite ampoule étant placée verticalement à l'intérieur de la lampe pour améliorer encore l'éclairage.

Abstract: Implant utilisé en thyroplastie (10) comportant une base en couches (12) permettant sa fixation dans une découpe en forme de fenêtre pratiquée dans la membrane thyroïdienne et un élément en saillie (14) provoquant un déplacement médian d'une corde vocale. La bse en couches comporte une couche inférieure (16), une couche intermédiaire (18) et une couche supérieure (20), la couche inférieure et la couche supérieure ayant une surface plus grande que la couche intermédiare afin de faciliter l'ancrage de la base dans la fenêtre. La base est faite d'un matériau biocompatible rigide facilitant un anchrage solide de l'implant, et l'élément en saillie est fait d'un matériau biocompatible plus souple qui évite d'endommager la corde vocale. L'élément en saillie (14) est généralement de forme triangulaire et comporte une partie (26) qui s'étend après l'implantation depuis la base. Un instrument de mesure (44) comportant un élément en saillie (46) de forme similaire à celui de l'implant et un élément d'arrêt amovible (60) est utilisé pour déterminer la taille d'implant optimale.

Abstract: Lubrifiants à base d'hydrocarbures possédant un indice de viscosité (V.I.) élevé et un point d'écoulement bas. On produit ces lubrifiants par hydroisomérisation d'un lubrifiant cireux tel que la paraffine non déshuilée ou un gazole cireux sur un zéolite bêta. Après cette opération, les composants aromatiques sont enlevés par extraction, par exemple à l'aide de furfural. Le raffinat est alors déparaffiné, de préférence par déparaffinage par solvant, jusqu'au point d'écoulement désiré et ensuite hydrotraité. L'hydroisomérisation combinée à l'extraction de composants aromatiques et au déparaffinage accroît la gamme de bruts qui peuvent être transformés en lubrifiants à indice de viscosité (V.I.) élevé tout en maintenant des qualités équivalentes du produit.

Abstract: Normally hydrophobic foams, such as polyurethane foams and polymerized water-in-oil emulsion foams, are rendered hydrophilic by means of treatment with simple surfactants and hydrophilizing agent salts. Thus, a surfactant-containing foam is treated with a solution of, for example, calcium chloride, and is dried to leave a substantially uniformly distributed residue of hydrated or hydratable calcium chloride on the surfactant-containing internal foam surfaces. In-use, the combination of surfactant and calcium chloride hydrate provides a hydrophilic surface to the foam. Other hydratable calcium or magnesium salts such as magnesium chloride can be used. The resulting hydrophilized foams are suitable for use in absorbent devices, including diapers, sanitary napkins, bandages, and the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting, in particular for the connection of panels by a connecting member 3 which can be pushed into an insertion pot 1, a clamping screw 2, which is rotatably mounted in the insertion pot 1 obliquely with respect to the push-in direction 13, acting, with its screwing-in end 16, on the front inner edge 17 of a cutout 9 in the connecting member 3. In order also, in the case of a fitting of this type, to permit temporary latching of the fitting parts, the clamping screw 2 is mounted with a slight degree of play in the insertion pot 1, and the front edge 19 of the connecting member 3 exhibits a run-on slope 20 for the clamping screw 2. Before the parts are assembled, the clamping screw 2 is, then, screwed in until the screwing-in end 16 comes to bear a little way beneath the surface of the connecting member 3. When the connecting member 3 is pushed in, the clamping screw 2, arranged with play, is then pushed back by the run-on slope 20 and subsequently engages in a latching manner behind the front inner edge 17, this resulting in a temporary connection. The clamping screw 2 may then subsequently be screwed in further. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Optical image transmission systems are described in which all image defects (image errors) can be corrected and which have no lenses which are difficult to centre. They consist of at least two partial systems, at least one partial system having one lens of positive refractive power and one lens of negative refractive power. For the refractive indices it holds true that n(+) > n(-) and for the focal length that F > O. Such systems can be used as modular systems for example in endoscope-like devices, the objective and/or the eyepiece not having to be exchanged if the number of such modular systems in the device is changed. <IMAGE>

Date Sep. 30, 1993The timber (2) passes in a direction of movement (3) between successive clamping roller pairs (27, 26), between which a test roller (48) imposes a flexible bending fD on the timber (2). The imposed flexible bending fD is maintained at least approximately constant by controlling a setting drive (70) by means of a computer (83). Any possible natural curvature of the timber (2) is measured by measuring elements (80, 81) and is taken into account. The thickness (d) of the timber is also measured without contact by measuring elements (81, 82). The restoring force is measured by a force measuring device (68) and the position of the test roller (48) transversely to the direction of movement (3) is measured by a distance transducer (77). From this the commuter (83) calculates the local modulus of elasticity in flexure and combines this, for the final evaluation of the timber (2), with information about strength and density of the timber (2) which results from an irradiation of the timber with a fan shaped beam of radiation (75).

Abstract: A method for the production of moulded articles having a width dimension greater than their thickness, e.g. building panels and doors, comprises charging into a mould a foamable composition containing a phenol-formaldehyde resin, an acid catalyst and a filler having a neutralising effect, causing the composition to expand to fill the mould and the resin to cure, and thereafter removing the moulded article from the mould, wherein the mould cavity has a depth substantially equal to the width of the resulting moulded article and a width substantially equal to the thickness of the resulting moulded article, the temperature of the mould surface at the commencement of charging of the foamable composition is in the range of 60 to 90  DEG C, the temperature of the foamable composition during curing is at least 90  DEG C, and the pH of the final cured foam is not less than 2. The neutralising effect filler is preferably aluminium hydroxide, which allows the pH of the curing/foaming reaction to rise to 2 to 4. The resin may be glycol-modified.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for heat stretching a synthetic fiber rope. The rope is buoyed in a vessel containing a liquid medium, and this is heated to a predetermined stretching temperature. Tension is applied to the heated portion of the rope so as to stretch this to a predetermined increase in length. The process may be batchwise, or it may be continuous. In the batch process, a length of the rope is stretched in the heating vessel by a draw rod. In the continuous process, feed and take-up capstans pass the rope through a heating chamber, and then through a cooling chamber. The capstans are operated at different speeds so that the rope is tensioned and stretched between them within the vessel.

Abstract: Shaped articles are produced from foam metal by a procedure wherein the foam is formed by heating a composite of a metal matrix and finely divided solid stabilizer particles above the solidus temperature of the metal matrix and discharging gas bubbles into the molten metal composite below the surface thereof to thereby form a stabilized liquid foam on the surface of the molten metal composite. According to the novel feature the stabilized metal foam in liquid form is shape cast by being pressed into a mould and permitted to cool and solidify. The density of the cast part is essentially unchanged from that of the starting liquid foam.
