Abstract: Disclosed is a key sheet efficiently diffusing local heat generated by a device mounted on a board. A base sheet (13) of a key sheet (12) is provided with a heat diffusion sheet (6, 23). The heat diffusion sheet (6, 23) is provided with a graphite sheet (7) and a resin film (8a, 8b) and, in some cases, a thin metal plate (22). The base sheet (13) itself thus constitutes the heat diffusion sheet (6), so even if no member for heat diffusion is provided between a board (15) and the key sheet (12), it is possible to diffuse local heat generated by a semiconductor device (15b) in the face direction of the base sheet (13). Thus, with the key sheet (12), it is possible to meet the requirement for heat diffusion to eliminate local heat storage in electronic apparatuses and to meet the requirement for a reduction in the thickness and further in weight of electronic apparatuses.

IPC: H04H20/00
Filed: 2006-11-01
Abstract: When updating a data record identified by a version number, the problem exists that a simple not equal to comparison or greater than comparison is often insufficient for ascertaining the up-to-date nature of the newly received data record, particularly if the data record is transmitted to a receiving station via an unsecured data link and the version number originates from a limited range which is repeatedly run through periodically. 
     The invention solves the problem by virtue of the fact that it divides the range of values of the version number into the ranges "old" and "new", on the basis of the current value of a version number. The periodicity with which the range of values is run through is taken into account in this case, however. That is to say that the range "old" or the range "new" may perfectly well include the jump from the highest value in the range of values to the lowest value in the range of values. If the version number of the newly received data record lies in the range "new", the new data record is accepted as a current data record, and if not it is correspondingly rejected.

Abstract: The nozzle beam is arranged on a device for generation of liquid streams for the treatment of fibres of a material web running along the nozzle beam. The nozzle beam comprises an upper piece ( 4 ), running across the working width of the web and a lower piece ( 5 ), which runs out into a liquid outlet slot ( 10 ). According to the invention, a nozzle strip ( 14 ) is arranged below the liquid outlet slot ( 10 ) and an easily detachable so-called masking strip ( 18 ) is mounted directly above the above in a liquid-tight manner, when viewed in the flow direction of the water jet. A part of the nozzle outlet opening on the nozzle strip is covered by the masking strip ( 18 ) and a part is left free, whereby liquid jets emerge from the part left free and form a continuous liquid curtain. According to the invention, a nozzle strip ( 14 ) with a maximum stream width is fitted to the nozzle beam. When a reduced stream width is required, a corresponding masking strip ( 18 ) is fitted which covers the non-required nozzle drillings in the outer regions of the nozzle strip ( 14 ). A simple and economical adjustment of the working width is thus possible, only that energy required for the process is used and the components guiding the material web are protected. Furthermore, the splash water flow into the plant is avoided.

Abstract: Dans les appareils aéronautiques où un fluide tel que l'air glisse sur une surface (1) pour créer une levée ou une poussée, on peut obtenir de meilleures performances en énergisant une « couche limite » (10) du flux du fluide à proximité de la surface. On sait que cela permet d'éviter la séparation du flux du fluide de la surface, ce qui maximise la levée ou la poussée obtenue. L'invention concerne un dispositif (7A) permettant le contrôle des mécanismes (7) utilisés pour énergiser la couche limite de manière à augmenter ou diminuer de façon sélective l'effet 10 dans différentes zones. Lorsque ce dispositif est utilisé sur différents endroits d'un aéronef par exemple, il devient un mécanisme efficace pour le guidage du véhicule. La Figure 2A est à rapprocher de l'abrégé 15.

Abstract: A protective fabric with a weight/area ratio of less than 300 g/m2 that is intended to form the outer layer of a garment for protection from fire, such as a garment for firefighters for example. It is composed of warp and weft threads that come from at least two types of thread that are resistant to fire, namely a first thread type of the meta-aramide type, a second high-modulus para-aramide type thread with colour variations over its length, and if necessary, in the warp, a third para-aramide type thread that does not display colour variations but is sensitive to ultraviolet light. It includes 15 to 50% of threads of the second type, and if necessary of the third type. Its weave, preferably of the warp double-sided type, is determined so that, on the outer face of the fabric, the warp threads of the second type, and if necessary of the third type, are almost totally masked.

Abstract: The primary object of the invention is to provide a method of producing novel phosphate and potash (PK) containing compound fertilizers in the form of powders showing good handle-ability by which method the phosphate components contained in an incinerated ash residue of chicken droppings is improved in solubility and thus rendered effective or available and, at the same time, the free CaO-derived alkali is neutralized, as well as such novel phosphate and potash(PK) containing compound fertilizers. 
     The above object can be accomplished by adding an alkaline earth metal compound to the powdery incinerated ash residue of chicken droppings, adding a mineral acid to the resulting mixture, allowing the reaction to proceed and raising the reaction system temperature by utilizing the heat of reaction of the powdery alkaline earth metal compound with the mineral acid to thereby promote the reaction between the free CaO contained in the incinerated ash residue of chicken droppings and so forth with the mineral acid and convert the phosphate components to citric acid-soluble and, at the same time, maintaining the product neutral or weakly acidic.
