Abstract: A fluid discharge apparatus for imparting a stream configuration to a current of fluid. The fluid discharge apparatus includes a nozzle containing a passageway having at least a receiving portion with a substantially rectilinear cross-section and an issuing portion with a substantially curvilinear cross-section, such that a fluid current passing through the passageway emerges therefrom in a stream configuration. The nozzle may be pivotably connected to a second nozzle. The second nozzle is adapted for incorporation into a sprayer-type fluid dispenser, and contains a second passageway. Pivoting of the first nozzle towards, and its consequent attachment to, the second nozzle brings the first and second passageways into sealed communication. This permits the fluid current generated by the sprayer apparatus to be dispensed as either a spray, when the first nozzle is not attached to the second nozzle, or as a stream, when the first nozzle is so attached.

Abstract: Afin d'assurer qu'aucune bulle d'air ne soit renfermée dans la pompe d'un système antiblocage automatique, la pompe (4) est montée dans le conduit principal (2) du frein, de sorte qu'elle est rinçée lors de chaque freinage. Dès qu'une pression de freinage d'environ 5 bars est atteinte, la soupape d'inversion (28) est commutée, de sorte que le conduit principal (2) du frein est bloqué dans le sens d'accumulation de la pression. Toute amenée supplémentaire de fluide sous pression se fait par le conduit secondaire (26) et par la soupape (27) d'admission de pression. La réduction de la pression se fait par le conduit direct (13). Pendant la régulation du glissement au freinage, la pompe aspire à travers la soupape d'aspiration (25) du fluide sous pression contenu dans le réservoir (25).

Abstract: Monitoring of a sportsperson's technique is described, particularly by recording stages of play, during matches or practice periods, so that they can be analyzed. A device for recording a series of moves made on a playing area includes a touch-sensitive keyboard (11) representing said playing area (12) and provided with keys (15, 16A, 16B) corresponding to various playing moves, at least some of said keys (15, 16, 16A, 16B) being located in the portions of said playing area where these playing moves are likely to take place, in order to allow a coded representation of a given stage of the game to be recorded by pressing a key or a sequence of keys corresponding to the moves involved in said stage of the game in the corresponding portion of the playing area. The essential purpose, therefore, is to link the position of the keys on the keyboard with specific geographical locations in the playing area, particularly a sports field. The device is designed mainly, but not only, for tennis.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the evaluation of the virus-removing capability of a porous polymericic membrane module for removing viruses by filtration, which comprises testing I in which a transmembrane pressure lowering from predetermined value Ph a predetermined period of time after the termination of the supply of a gas is measured with respect to the porous polymericic membrane module, wherein the value Ph satisfies the formula: d < Ph < c, wherein d and c are respectively the transmembrane pressures at points (d) and (c) in Fig. 1 hereof. By the method of the present invention, it has become possible for the first time to effectively and efficiently select a module which can be suitably used for removing viruses from a virus-containing fluid and to obtain a fluid substantially free of the virus. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Beneath each key and carried by the keyboard support there is a basically round-shaped elastic or elasticized element, the base of which lies on the keyboard support, such a round-shaped surface, which may be achieved by hot-pressing a rubber sheet, and on top of which there is a collar the aim of which is to provide a certain resistance to the key, thus distributing the deformation resistance to the key, thus distributing the deformation caused by the pressed key over the entire surface of the round-shaped element. In other words, the top collar, under the effect of the pressed key, moves parallel to itself, thus causing the uniform deformation of the entire rubber element. The keyboard support consists of a board or plate on which a layer of plastic material is injected in such a manner as to cover the edges and the ends of the board or sheet, while leaving the middle parts uncovered, thus forming a sort of grid.

Date Jul. 9, 1992.The present invention concerns a process and a device for carrying out the process for weight determination of the contents of containers (5), for example for garbage. Two swivel arms (2) that are lifted by hydraulic devices (3) are mounted on a garbage collecting vehicle (1). The container (5) is carried by a fork (4). Integrated into the swivel arm (2) is a force measuring apparatus that comprises two flexural members (7) supporting the main load, two spring tongues (8), and a force transducer (11) that is installed between two stilts (12) between the spring tongues (8). The flexural members (7) and the spring tongues together form an elastic stepdown; the force transducer (11) thus only measures that part of the total load flowing through it as given by the stepdown. Further, a gradient meter (16) is mounted on the swivel arm (2), that has the same action line W as the force measurement device integrated in the swivel arm (2). In this manner, the measurement of the weight of the container (5) is very extensively independent of the gradient. The weight of container (5) is calculated in known manner by two "total weight-tare=net" weighings. In order to exclude the influences of elastic prestresses, the angle range over which it is measured is limited to a preset degree. The container (5) is inserted in the fork (4) in the position L, position M is the measuring position, and the container (5) is emptied in position E (FIG. 1).

Abstract: With tools, seated on the end of drive shafts (1), for a pasty substance to be processed, especially with cutters for sausage products, the sealing off of the bearing arrangement at the end of the shaft against penetration by the substance being processed presents great difficulty; because of the usually high speeds, it is in addition necessary to continuously lubricate the seals used (51, 52) in order to avoid an increase in temperature in the region of the bearings. The lubricant is separated from the substance being processed with the aid of labyrinth seals (323, 324, 43, 47, 48) which surround a plurality of annular spaces (61, 62), the volume of which is sufficient to allow that part of a component which has crossed the labyrinth seal to remain in this annular space until the equipment is disassembled and cleaned. In this way, mixing of the components (substance being processed and lubricant) and, especially, penetration of the substance being processed into the region of the seals (51, 52) is avoided, thereby preventing defects at the seals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Meadow land is manured with liquid manure by applying a very thin jet of manure onto the ground between the grass plants using an outflow nozzle. In contrast to turf layer manuring devices and injectors, no cut is made in the ground. A drag foot (8,9,10) pushes the grass aside in order to make the ground surface accessible for the manure and to prevent the manure smearing the grass. Placed in front of the drag foot (8,9,10) is a disc-like knife (17), which cuts through old grass remnants lying flat on the ground in order to make the ground accessible. Accumulation in front of the drag foot (8,9,10) and blockage of the outflow nozzle for manure are hereby prevented. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing thin films in which the pressure of the process gas is kept constant in a process chamber with a gas inlet and outlet, a target and a substrate, while material is sputtered from the target and deposited on the substrate. The invention also relates to a process for producing thin films. It is the purpose of the invention to create a process providing a more homogenous thin film. According to the invention, to this end the process gas is caused to reach the plasma. Alternatively, either one or several emission lines may be spectroscopically detected in a spatial region and, after a desired cross-sectional shape has been set, it is kept constant in time by subsequently regulating the process gas mixing ratio. It is also possible to attain the set aim by arranging a probe in such a way that charged atoms of the process gas are detected and, to attain the desired homogeneity, the voltage at the probe is constantly regulated by subsequently adjusting the process gas mixing ratio.
