Abstract: A circuit arrangement for operating a high pressure discharge lamp includes input terminals for connection to a supply voltage source and an apparatus coupled to the input terminals for supplying an alternating lamp current to the high pressure discharge lamp. A device (III) is provided for generating a current pulse in each half period of the lamp current. This current pulse has the same polarity as the lamp current and is superimposed on the lamp current in the latter part of a predetermined fraction of the half periods of the lamp current. The circuit substantially suppresses flickering of the discharge arc during lamp operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite cushioning system for protecting articles, packaged within a box, from damage while being transported in the box. The composite structure includes an expansion sheet of expanded slit sheet, in combination with a separator sheet. The expanded sheet has a slit pattern which produces open cells, preferably of a hexagonal configuration. The separator sheet precludes the nesting of legs and lands of the slit sheet with other slit sheet of the same slit pattern. A variety of combinations of separator sheets and expansion sheets can be used, such as a pair of expansion sheets with a separator sheet between the pair of expansion sheets, or two such pairs of expansion sheets, with or without a separator sheet between the pairs. The separator sheet can be unslit, or tear-perforated or slit to accommodate expansion. Where the separator sheet is slit, the slits preferably produce the same amount of expansion as produced in the expansion sheets. The equipment for expanding the composite uses expansion rollers having Velcro type hooks in a spiral around the rollers such that discontinuation gripping of the expanded material is provided.

Abstract: A hip protection device for the elderly which provides protection to the trochanteric region the wearer to prevent fracture thereto upon falling from a standing position. An undergarment is provided with at least one pocket enclosing a pad, or other alternative arrangements for securing the pads to the hip regions of the garment. Each protective pad defines an open-ended channel having an elongated major axis along which it is substantially linear and a minor axis which has a generally parabolic curvature. The undergarment and pad are configured such that the pads rap around and fit snugly against the trochanteric area of the wearer's hip. Each pad has a relatively rigid, thin shield on its convex side and a relatively thin layer of resilient impact absorbing material on its concave side. Upon the wearer falling from a standing position onto their hip area, the impact force is distributed generally uniformly across the surface area of the rigid shield an then to the resilient impact absorbing material, which has sufficient resilience and thickness that greater than ninety percent of the impact force is absorbed. The undergarment and pads of the hip protection device are comfortable to wear over prolonged periods and are constructed so that they do not bulge outwardly significantly during use, making them aesthetically acceptable for users. In one embodiment for incontinent persons, a diaper is detachably engageable with the undergarment.

Abstract: A compact rain sensor for mounting on the inner surface of a windshield includes collimator lenses and a detachable prismatic coupler to facilitate the mounting of emitters and detectors on a circuit board which is positioned parallel to the inner surface of the windshield. A thin optical coupler is adhesively secured to the windshield. A sensor housing is detachably secured about the outer edges of the coupler. Within the sensor housing, surface-mounted infrared emitters and detectors, as well as signal processing circuitry, are all mounted on a single printed circuit board secured in the housing. When the sensor housing is mounted on the coupler, the printed circuit board is parallel to the inner surface of the windshield and in close proximity thereto. In operation, a light beam from the emitter enters the windshield at a forty-five degree angle and is reflected back from the outer surface of the windshield to the detector, which generates a control signal based on the amount of light reflected from the outer surface. Moisture on the outer surface of the windshield reduces the amount of light reflected to the detector. Surface mounted emitters and detectors, which are very cost and space efficient, are mounted on the circuit board with an initial optical axis perpendicular to the circuit board. In order to achieve the desired forty-five degree angle of entry into the windshield, the light beam emitted from the emitter is reflected, refracted, and collimated prior to entry into the windshield by collimator lenses mounted on the circuit board and by prismatic regions formed in the coupler.

Abstract: The clutch has a central primary, driving section (1) with an array of radial springs (3) which connect to a number of inertial masses (4) on the inside of the outer, secondary driven section (8). The springs have sliding connections at both ends and provide a centrifugal action which also drives the inertial masses into contact with the secondary section. The loose fitting of the springs provides a set amount of clutch elasticity for a smooth engagement. The inertial masses form a ring and are coated on the outside with a friction surface. The inside ring of the secondary section is also fitted with a friction layer. The springs are packs of leaf springs.
