Abstract: A method and equipment for assessing the suitability of support surfaces such as mattresses and chairs is disclosed. The method comprises applying a load to each of two such support surfaces with a first indenter having a given profile and a substantially rigid form and measuring the interface pressure, applying the same load to each said surface with a second indenter having substantially the same profile as said first indenter, but having a viscoelastic form and measuring the interface pressure and deriving information as to the characteristics of the supporting surfaces by comparing said measurements. The invention also includes a human phantom for use in testing or comparing support surfaces which comprises a buttocks portion representing the human buttocks and comprising substantially rigid pelvic and femoral parts and a viscoelastic member covering said pelvic and femoral parts, said buttocks portion being pivotably linked to a torso and head portion and the phantom includes means to maintain the torso portion in a plurality of angular positions with respect to the pelvic and femoral parts while making interfacial pressure measurements.

Abstract: The nib of a writing pen is produced in metal and has a capillary slot (5) formed that provides transfer of ink from an entry point (A) to the tip (K). The rib is formed using a laser, e.g. CO2 laser that is controlled to direct the beam along a controlled path. The localised heating effect of the laser generates a plastic state leading to a change in form. The transmitter and receiver act as a triangulating sensing system which continuously monitors the profile to ensure that the correct size is achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a color cathode ray tube apparatus which attains high resolution throughout the entire screen area, and which ensures excellent withstanding voltage characteristics of an electron gun and high reliability, wherein a multi-pole lens for generating a potential difference between two electrodes connected by a resistor device is effectively formed to correct astigmatic aberration of a deflection magnetic field. 
     This is provided by a seventh grid (G7) applied with an anode high voltage, a sixth grid (G6) applied with a dynamic voltage, and a fifth grid (G5) are provided in a main electron lens section (ML) of an electron gun. The dynamic voltage is obtained by superimposing a DC voltage lower than the anode high voltage by a voltage which changes in synchronization with deflection of electron beams. The fifth grid (G5) is connected to the sixth grid (G6) through a resistor device (22) provided in the tube so as to be adjacent to the sixth grid (G6) in the side of the electron beam generator section (GE). The fifth grid (G5) and the sixth grid (G6) form a multi-pole lens (QL) for correcting deflection aberration within the focus lens region of the main electron lens section (ML). As a result, the withstanding voltage of the electron gun (21) using a dynamic focusing method, the resolution of the color cathode ray tube apparatus, and the reliability are improved. Furthermore, an electrostatic capacitance between certain grids is created.

Abstract: A hardened load carrying device (10,100,150) includes a unitarily constructed container for holding the load. The container (10,100,150) has an opening (14,106) which is partially bordered by a slot (40,136) that includes opposed crooked thumbs (46,48) which project into the channel of the slot (40). A door (28,112) for covering the opening (14,106) of the container has a pair of opposed crooked fingers (46,48) which are attached along part of the edge of the door to establish a bite. To enclose the load in the container (10,100,150) the bite of the door (28,112) is slidingly received into the slot bordering (40) the opening to cover the opening and engage the crooked fingers (46,48) of the door (28,112) with the crooked thumbs (58a,58b) of the slot. In an alternate embodiment the crooked thumbs of the slot are replaced by opposed lips which extend inwardly to establish a T-shaped or rounded slot (40b), and the crooked fingers and the door are replaced by a flange (61) which is slidingly received into the T-shaped or rounded slot. Any joints which are established between panels (152,154,156) of the container (150) are reinforced using a double thickness of material. Further, the panels can include reinforcing fibers (160,166,168) which extend from one panel to another with the fibers oriented substantially parallel to the joint (158,160,162) between the panels. In response to an explosive blast inside the container (10,100,150), the bite (44) on the door (28) interlocks with the slot (40) on the container (10,100,150) to grip the bite (44) with the slot (40). Together, this action and the reinforced joints (158,160,162) with reinforcing fibers (160) resist a rupturing of the load carrying device.
