Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de corriger la forme de l'oreille (1) externe humaine de façon non invasive. Ce dispositif comprend un bâti (4) plat muni d'un adhésif (12) destiné à coller ce bâti avec deux parties repliées (7, 8) sur une oreille (1) qui est pliée autour d'une ligne de pliage (5-5) le long d'une zone qui doit être corrigée avec une déformation permanente. Ce bâti peut être facilement fixé sur l'oreille sans inconvénient. En position attachée, il est difficilement visible, et le patient ne ressent pas ce bâti comme quelque chose de désagréable et d'irritant à porter. On peut avantageusement utiliser ce bâti sur l'oreille en feuille de chou d'un enfant à laquelle on peut particulièrement facilement donner une forme permanente dans les premières semaines postnatales durant lesquelles la concentration d'oestradiol est au maximum.

Abstract: A diagnostic system for a valve (2) that can be actuated by a position controller via a drive. The diagnostic system includes a device (14) provided for recording, storing, and evaluating, body sound spectra on the valve. In order to enable a valve to be diagnosed in a particularly reliable manner, a body sound spectrum which is recorded when the intact valve (2) is slightly open is stored in the device (14) provided for recording, storing, and evaluating, whereby the valve can be closed for diagnostic purposes and the resemblance of the recorded body sound spectrum to the stored body sound spectrum is used as a criterion for evaluating a non-sealing condition of the valve.

Abstract: An electrical machine comprises a rotor without windings, a stator having an armature winding 24, 25 and a field winding 10 for generating a magnetomotive force in a direction extending transversely of the magnetomotive force generated by the armature winding. An electronic circuit 40 is provided for controlling the current in the armature winding 24, 25 such that periods in which a magnetomotive force in one direction is associated with a first current pulse alternate with periods in which a magnetomotive force in the opposite direction is associated with a second current pulse. A position sensor is provided for monitoring the rotational position of the rotor and for supplying output signals at a rate dependent on the speed of rotation of the rotor. Furthermore a control system supplies control signals to the circuit 40 to control the current in the armature winding 24, 25 in response to the output signals. The control system uses a control signal of extended duration at the beginning of the first current pulse on start-up of the motor from rest as compared with the duration of the control signals produced over the remainder of the first current pulse during acceleration of the rotor. Such an arrangement produces efficient starting from rest, and enables control of acceleration, no-load speed, loaded torque-speed characteristics of the machine to be achieved with simple on-off control of armature and field switching devices, so that the control circuitry can be produced at relatively low cost. Simplification of the control circuitry is further ensured by the fact that such control can be effected without current sensing.

Abstract: A ceramic heater element and a glow plug incorporating the novel heater element. The heater element has a base portion and a heater portion. Conductive, insulative and resistive layers extend through both the base and heater portions. An outer conductive layer is applied to the outside of the base portion to provide a highly conductive return path. This tends to limit the heating of the resistive layer in the base portion and results in better and more reliable heat concentration in the heater portion. The heater element is further provided with a waterproof non-electrically conductive outer layer. The heater element can be assembled to form a glow plug for a diesel engine.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and devices for regenerating activated carbon
mainly used in air-treating devices of means of transport, in particular for passenger compartments
thereof. The invention can be also used for regenerating activated carbon for
air-treating devices in other areas.

in the passenger compartment of the means of transport consists in a regeneration, which
is performed with the help of water vapor obtained from condensate of humidity in the
atmosphere. Said condensate is pre-adsorbed on silica gel during air cleaning. The regeneration
is carried out at the atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of up to 160°C followed
by cooling with the help of the fan with an air flow of no less than 25 min -1 . The inventive
device for regenerating the activated carbon with the aid of water vapor comprises a sorption
cartridge wherein silica gel and activated carbon are placed, a heating element for
heating the sorption cartridge during regenerating process and the fan connected to the
sorption cartridge for cooling said cartridge and emitting regeneration products into the
atmosphere.
