Abstract: A traditional gas burner for a hob is centrally located below a support grille and surrounded by a dish-shaped depression for spillage. Control of the power of the burner is usually only by the control of the total gas supply, even though the burner provides a large number of small flames. The invention provides efficient means of controlling each individual flame (F1a-F4a, F1b-F4b) via individual pipes to orifices, and the required space for this is provided by directing the flames from the outside and towards the center of the cooking vessel. The orifices are placed in the sides of channels providing air supply and exhaust of burnt gases. The channels are formed in what is otherwise a large flat top (A1-A9) of the hob.

Abstract: A system for automatically inspecting matter for varying composition comprises one or more detection stations 131 through which one or more streams of matter are advanced and particular materials therein are detected through their diffusely reflected IR spectra, if any, and/or through their variation of an electromagnetic field by their metallic portions, if any. A row of light sources 105 distributed across the overall width of one or more belt conveyors 104 may cause desired portions 125 of the stream to reflect light diffusely onto a part-toroidal mirror 107 extending over that overall width, whence the light is reflected, by a rotating, polygonal mirror 108 through optical filters dedicated to differing IR wavelengths, onto detectors (120) the data output of which is utilised in controlling solenoid valves operating air jet nozzles 116 which separate-out the desired portions. Alternatively or additionally, an oscillator 137 and an antenna 138 which extends over that overall width generate an electromagnetic field through the belt 104 and sensing coils 139 sense variations therein produced by metallic portions of the stream passing through the detection station 131 and the detection data produced by the sensing coils 139 is used to control the solenoid valves operating the nozzles 116 to separate-out the metallic portions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A capacitor element (10) fabricated by winding an anode foil (1) and a cathode foil (2) via a separator (3) is impregnated with a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and an oxidizing agent to form poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) by chemical polymerization. A nonwoven fabric composed chiefly of a synthetic fiber is used as a separator, enabling a solid electrolyte to be favorably formed without being reacted with the oxidizing agent. Preferably, the capacitor element is dipped in water at 80 to 100  DEG C for 1 to 20 minutes to dissolve and remove the binder in the separator in order to preclude adverse effects on the electric characteristics caused by the binder. The oxidizing agent is used at a concentration in excess of 40 % by weight with respect to the solvent, so that the degree of polymerization is high and a dense and homogeneous solid electrolytic layer is formed. To form the electrolytic layer, the capacitor element is impregnated with a monomer solution prepared by mixing 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and a volatile solvent at a volume ratio of 1:1 to 1:3. Then, the capacitor element is heat-treated and impregnated with a solution of oxidizing agent to form a dense and homogenous solid electrolytic layer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An injection device is disposable, and is designed to have a reusable firing mechanism fitted to its rear end. A syringe carrier within the barrel of the device is initially locked in a position with the needle of the syringe retracted by a locking element inserted laterally through the barrel. This element also holds an axially movable connector to which the firing mechanism connects. The device is made operable by removal of the locking element, and after use a return spring ensures that neither the syringe carrier nor the connector assume positions where the locking element can be reinserted. An adaptor may be provided to facilitate preparing a syringe with a two-component dose, and for disposal after use the adaptor with an empty vial still attached can be fitted to the rear end of the injection device in place of the firing mechanism.

Abstract: A weft thread clamp for a weft thread presenting lever is positively actuated to selectively open or close the clamp and thereby release or hold the weft thread respectively. To achieve this, a second clamp element is movable or deflectable relative to a first clamp element of the clamp. The movable second clamp element may be directly embodied as an actuator, or may be driven by an actuating motion provided by an actuator located remotely from the clamp on the lever. In the latter case, a motion transmission arrangement such as a sheathed push-pull cable or a rod linkage operatively connects the actuator to the movable second clamp element. The actuator may be a piezoelectric, electromagnetic, hybrid pneumatic-electric, or hybrid hydraulic-electric device, or an electric motor. The loom control unit is connected to the actuator for providing control signals thereto.
