IPC: A61B19/04
Filed: 1991-05-20
Abstract: Appareil et procédé de détection d'altération ou d'un état proche de l'altération d'un gant utilisé dans une application d'emploi critique tel qu'en chirurgie où les gants sont usés par le chirurgien et sont exposés aux liquides biologiques d'un patient. L'appareil et le procédé comprennent la détection non seulement d'un niveau particulier de conductivité qui peut être dû à un trou ou une mince tache dans le gant mais également la détection d'un changement soudain de conductivité pouvant être provoquée par un changement brusque de l'état du gant, tel que l'ouverture d'un trou ou un amincissement subit du gant. Ainsi, l'appareil et le procédé permettent la détection non seulement de l'état réel du gant mais également d'un changement de l'état du gant. De plus, le circuit est de faible impédance, ce qui décharge automatiquement et de manière continue l'accumulation d'électricité statique sur le chirurgien.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a device for damping or controlling the jack-knifing between two sections of an articulated vehicle. The two ends, facing one another, of the sections of the vehicle are connected to one another via a rotary joint, one live ring being assigned to one section of the vehicle and a second live ring being assigned to the other. Relative movements between the two live rings are damped or controlled in order to damp or control the relative movements between the two sections of the vehicle about a vertical axis. The outer one (1) of the two live rings (1, 3) has an outer toothing (13) which engages with a counter toothing (14) which is assigned to the other live ring (3) and whose adjustability is to be released, braked or prevented. The counter toothing is a toothed rack (14) on a piston-cylinder unit (15, 18, 19) which is swivellably mounted on the section (4) of the vehicle to which the inner live ring (3) is assigned. <IMAGE>

IPC: B23K35/38
Filed: 1992-11-27
Abstract: A lead-acid battery is filled with electrolyte in two portions, the first of which consists of sulphuric acid free of gel formers and is proportioned in such a way that only the pores are filled of the active material in the electrodes and the separators, as far as the latter are able to retain the absorbed liquid by virtue of capillary activity, and the second portion is formed from a thixotropic SiO2/sulphuric acid mixture which fills the remaining electrolyte compartment. The state of the electrode plates employed, whether formed or unformed, determines the density of the sulphuric acid in both portions: in the case of formed plates it corresponds to the normal operating acid density of a charged battery, in the case of unformed plates an acid should be chosen which has been diluted to the extent that upon subsequent formation it attains the final acid density normal at that stage. Said formation can be a monobloc container formation.

IPC: F16H41/26

Abstract: An impeller for a torque converter embodying the concepts of the present invention utilizes a substantially semi-toroidal shell (40). The shell has a radially inner periphery which defines an inlet portion (44) and a radially outer periphery which defines an outlet portion (48). The shell is radially curved between the inlet portion and the outlet portion to define a concave annular recess (50). A plurality of full vanes (55) and a plurality of splitter vanes (70) are presented from the shell within the concave annular recess. The impeller vanes are disposed circumferentially about the concave annular recess at spaced intervals. Each vane has a leading head portion (56,72), an intermediate body portion (58,74) and a trailing end portion (60,76). The leading head portions of both vanes are disposed in opposition to the inlet portion -- the leading head portion of the full vanes being disposed in proximity to the inlet portion. The leading head portions of the splitter vanes are disposed in radially outwardly spaced relation to the inlet portion. The trailing end portions of both the full and the splitter vanes are disposed in proximity to the outlet portion. The leading head portions on both the full and the splitter vanes are bulbous (62,78) with curvilinearly opposite surfaces (64,66,80,82) converging along the intermediate body portions to terminate in the trailing end portions. The impeller vanes each have a radial dimension, but the radial dimension of the splitter vanes is substantially less than the radial dimension of the full vanes. The splitter vanes alternate with the full vanes about the circumference of the shell housing. The full vanes extend substantially fully between the inlet portion and the outlet portion.

Abstract: The devices according to the invention essentially comprise a control box (1) and a measurement sensor (2). The measurement sensor detects the alcohol content in the breath of the person tested, in order to deduce therefrom his alcohol blood level. Means (12) are provided in the control box for controlling the actuator elements (3) as a function of the detected value of the alcohol blood level. These devices are principally characterised, on the one hand, by the presence of inhibition means (1200, 1201) for authorising deactivation, for example in the case of emergency, and, on the other hand, by a gradual response as a function of the condition of the person. First, depending on the condition of the person, a device according to the invention allows normal use of the machine under surveillance, limited use, or prevents any use of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A blank for use in making an envelope has areas 6, 7 and 8 for forming a front panel, a rear panel and an intermediate panel of the envelope. The area 6 is formed with a window 20 through which an address, on the area 8, for a second use of the envelope can be seen. In a first use of the envelope, a piece of paper bearing an address for the first mailing is interposed between the window and the area 8, whereby the address thereon is obscured and the address on the piece of paper can be seen through the window 20. At one end of one of the areas 6 and 7, there is joined to that area, along a line of weakness 21, a tear-off strip 11 and at the corresponding end of the other of the areas 6 and 7 there is joined to that area, but not along a line of substantial weakness, a fold-over area 10 which can be used to seal the envelope, for its second use, after the tear-off strip 11 has been removed. 
     In some examples a sheet of transparent material is stuck by adhesive 14 to the area 7, covering the window, the sheet having a second line of weakness which lies along the first line of weakness 21. The sheet has a major portion joined along the second line of weakness to a minor portion which is stuck by adhesive to the tear-off strip 11 so that it comes off the envelope therewith.

Abstract: Un agencement servant à accorder des modules de résonance comprend une cavité et un corps de résonance qui est orienté vers la position de résonance par un moteur, lequel est commandé par une tension aussi longtemps qu'il existe une différence de phase entre le signal d'entrée dans le module de résonance et le signal de sortie (appelé le signal de mesure) hors du module. Le signal d'entrée est de haute fréquence, et l'on souhaite à présent transposer les signaux à une basse fréquence afin d'éviter toute interférence avec le signal de mesure. L'agencement comprend ainsi un oscillateur de haute fréquence commandé par une tension et dont la plage de fréquence comprend la fréquence du signal entrant. A partir du signal de sortie de l'oscillateur et du signal d'entrée, un dispositif mélangeur produit la différence entre les signaux, et un second dispositif mélangeur produit la différence entre le signal de sortie de l'oscillateur et le signal de mesure de façon à produire deux signaux de basse fréquence. Ceux-ci sont comparés dans un détecteur de phase par rapport à la position de phase. S'il existe une différence de phase, le détecteur produit une tension, mais s'il y a égalité de phases, le détecteur produit une tension de valeur zéro.
