Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting element (1) having a base body (2) which is connected at least to two spring webs (5) which project beyond said base body and, at their end regions which can move elastically with respect to one another, exhibit latching hooks (6) for engaging behind a fastening opening (7) in a sprung-out locking position, it being possible to insert, into the base body (2), a joining part (4) which, in order to secure and/or spread apart the spring webs (5) in the sprung-out locking position, can be screwed, pressed or pushed into the region thereof. The connecting element (1) according to the invention is characterised in that the latching end side (28), facing the fastening opening (7), is, in the sprung-out locking position of the latching hooks (6), angled off outwards counter to the screwing-in or plugging-in direction of the joining part (4), and in that an angle of less than 90@ is enclosed between the longitudinal axis (L) of the joining part (4) and the latching end side (28) of the latching hooks (6). The connecting element (1) according to the invention can be used for a wide variety of applications. By virtue of the oblique position of the latching hooks (6) on their latching end sides (28), the connecting element according to the invention can be subjected to high loading even if the joining part (4) has not yet been screwed or inserted into the region of the spring webs (5). Simple premounting of the various fastening parts is possible as a result of the high loadability of the connecting element (1) according to the invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The data disc type can be discriminated in utilizing a part of control information or using through holes (52-54) of disc cassette (51), and even in the case where the magneto-optical disc is loaded erroneously, the desired data can be recorded/reproduced on the corresponding disc selectively by shifting the operation as occasion demands. And thus, even in the case where this type of magneto-optical disc is used for data recording, the magneto-optical disc device and the magneto-optical disc which are capable of simplifying the disc control can be obtained. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A videosignal recording arrangement for recording a videosignal representing pictures having a first or a second aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9) on a record carrier (13) comprises a first terminal (6) for receiving the videosignal for recording on the record carrier (13), recording means (12,15) having an input (11) coupled to the first terminal (6), for recording the videosignal on the record carrier, and a second terminal (10) for receiving in a recording mode of the arrangement a first or a second control signal (0V, 6V) dependent of the videosignal received at the first terminal (6) representing pictures of the first aspect ratio (4:3), or representing pictures of the second aspect ratio (16:9) respectively. Detection means (25) are provided, having an input coupled to the second terminal (10), for detecting the first or the second control signal, so as to enable the recording of the videosignal representing pictures having the first or the second aspect ratio respectively on the record carrier. Viewed in time, the second control signal is such that for repeated concatenations of a first and a second time interval (T1,T2), the second control signal is present during the first time interval (T1) and is absent during the subsequent second time interval (T2), and the detection means are adapted to detect the absence of the second control signal during a time interval which is longer than the second time interval so as to enable the arrangement to switch to a recording of a videosignal representing pictures having the first aspect ratio (4:3). Further, the detection means (25) are adapted to detect the occurrence of the second control signal so as to enable the arrangement to switch to a recording of a videosignal representing pictures having the second aspect ratio (16:9). The invention is equally applicable in a picture display unit (35), so as to determine the aspect ratio of the videosignal to be displayed on the picture screen (39). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Adjustable dampers using electrorheological (ER) fluids comprise one or more annular ER fluid transfer ducts in fluid communication with fluid chambers on opposite sides of the damper pistons. Each duct (10) has one or more contoured surfaces or bands (46) along a portion of the length of one or both walls of the ducts providing one or more annular constricted working areas through which the ER fluid is forced when displaced by movement of the pistons. By selectively applying a voltage/electric field across the primary working areas, the flow resistance of the ER fluid passing through the primary working area is increased which increases the damping force of the dampers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A number of octapeptides were generated from the sequences encoding the 60 kDa Ro/SSA peptide, the La/SSB autoantigen, the 70 kD nuclear ribonucleoprotein (nRNP), and the Sm B/B' polypeptide, which represent linear epitopes for autoantibodies present in the sera of SLE and SS patients. These peptides are useful in solid phase assays for patients characterized by the presence of these autoantibodies, and can be used to categorize patients as to the likelihood of developing certain conditions associated with SLE. The peptides are also potentially useful in treatment of these patients using immobilized peptide to remove autoantibody and to block binding of the autoantibodies with patient molecules reactive with the autoantibodies.

Abstract: The tool has a head (1) tapering in steps to an end face (7). Each step of the head (1) has a cylindrical area (4) for calibrating a tube end (3) followed by a conical area (6) for deburring the tube end (3). Each step of the head (1) corresponds to a conventional tube size. When the head (1) is pushed into a tube end (3) to be worked, the tube end (3) is first calibrated and then deburred in one operation. By the calibrating at the cylindrical area (4), the tube end (3) is centred with respect to the longitudinal axis (11) of the head (1), which guarantees exact deburring at the conical area (6). Each conical area (6) has several cutting edges (5) which are formed by flutes (8). The tool is especially suitable for producing press joints on compound tubes. <IMAGE>

The material possesses good dispersion properties and swelling properties, which are meaningful to the function of the product. A high surface dryness is obtained, among other things. In addition to cellulose fibers, the absorbent structure may also include superabsorbent material and/or binding fibers, among other ingredients. The pulp mat is very thin, therewith obviating the need to compress the mat further in the product. In the case of certain product applications, the material is softened mechanically prior to its use as an absorbent material.
