Abstract: A molded motor vehicle instrument panel (10) made of a thermoplastic material has an integral air bag deployment door (14) for a passenger side air bag (22) that is defined by a tear seam (16) and is normally retained by an integral flexible mounting/hinge flange (36) to a part of the vehicle structure (11) when the seam is torn by the inflating air bag and wherein this flange then bends to allow the door to swing open to allow deployment of the air bag retaining same to the vehicle structure as the door is then free of the instrument panel. At very low temperatures, a portion of the air bag door can break away from the mounting/hinge flange because of plastic embrittlement at these low temperatures and the high bending stresses encountered at this juncture. This separation of the broken door portion from the vehicle structure is prevented by a tethering hinge (50) that is formed of a strong flexible sheet material that spans this critical juncture between the mounting/hinge flange and door and remains flexible at these very cold temperatures to retain the broken door portion to the vehicle structure.

Abstract: The sensor is for the mounting surface (3) for a part to be machined. The surface contains a number of jets (4,5) connected to a compressed air supply while the part is being positioned. A leak caused by a gap between the mounting surface and the part is measured by a pressure sensor (12,13). If the pressure decreases by an amount corresponding to an inadmissible gap width, the sensor generates a signal to deactivate the clamping device. The contact sensor is adjusted by use of leakage simulators (16,17) which are positioned away from the machining area. The leakage simulators are connected to the air supply via three-way valves (18) to close off the air supply to the machining area. One simulator (16) is adjusted by a gap setting plate (22) and micrometer (21) opposite a jet (19). The other (17) has leak valve (23).

Abstract: The pouch is formed of first and second thin barrier film walls welded along the periphery to form a waste receptical. One wall has an inlet defined by an attachment ring. The ring mounts the pouch on an adhesive faceplate adapted to adhere to the skin surrounding the stoma. A membrane, formed of material which is gas permeable but transmits little moisture and no liquid, is situated between the walls to separate the receptical into an inlet chamber, where solids, liquid and most moisture are retained, and an outlet chamber into which gas and a small amount of vapor passes. A filter is provided to permit the gas to exit the outlet chamber. A first section of superabsorbent material isolates the filter from the outlet chamber. By absorbing any moisture in the gas before it contacts the filter, blockage of the filter is prevented. A second section of superabsorbant material is provided near the bottom of the output chamber to absorb moisture which otherwise may cause the membrane to stick to the pouch wall, resulting in a substantial reduction of the gas transmissibility of the membrane.
