Patent EP-0096655-A1 (EP)
Inventor: INVERNIZZI CESARE GIULIO
IPC: H02G13/00
Filed: 1983-05-26
Abstract: An electrically conductive device (6) is positioned in the vicinity of a lightning rod point (1, 2), where it is electrically isolated from the lightning rod (1) and the ground conductor (3). This device (6) comprises a first component (7) extending radially from the lightning rod (1) and having terminal spikes (8, 9, 10) for facilitating the adjustment of said component to the potential of the surrounding atmosphere. The device (6) also comprises a second component (11) terminated by an electrode (12), which is positioned at a sufficiently short distance from the lightning rod (1) and in such a manner that a discharge takes place between the electrode (12) and the lightning rod (1) as a result of the voltage developing across the gap between said conductive device (6) and the lightning rod (1). The advantage of the system is that the efficiency of the lightning protector is greatly improved by comparison with lightning protectors provided with a radio-active source, while operating without such a source.

Abstract: Un système de contrôle pneumatique pour unités d'entraînement de bandes magnétiques comprend un détecteur unique pourvu d'un transducteur de différence de pression (57). Les points dans l'unité d'entraînement de bande auxquels on applique l'aspiration sont couplés à un côté du détecteur (57) et les points dans l'entraînement de bande auquels on applique la pression sont couplés à l'autre côté du détecteur (57). Le détecteur (57) produit une tension analogique représentant l'état du système pneumatique. Cette tension est numérisée et appliquée à un microprocesseur (67) qui compare la tension du détecteur à des gammes présélectionnées pour définir des conditions étalonnées de l'unité d'entraînement de bande. Si la tension détectée se situe en dehors de ces gammes, des conditions d'erreurs sont indiquées.

Abstract: The beverage contains fructose and vitamin C to increase the rate of lowering of the blood alcohol level. It is known that mixtures of fructose and vitamin C increase the rate of lowering of the blood alcohol level. Practical application of this finding has hitherto failed because of the unpleasantly sweet taste of such mixtures. It has now been found that the addition of quinine completely alters the objectionably sweet taste of a beverage containing fructose and vitamin C and provides a slightly bitter tart beverage which can very easily be drunk during and after consumption of alcohol. The composition and preparation of a beverage of this type are described.

Abstract: The stability of heat storage compositions comprising tetrasodium pyrophosphate is increased by raising the pH or the composition to at least 10.6. The increase in pH is preferably achieved by adding sodium hydroxide or more preferably an alkali metal orthosphosphate to the composition. The preferred additive is trisodium orthophosphate. The preferred pyrophosphates are those which comprise less than 1% by weight of tripolyphosphates. These compositions are novel and may conveniently be produced by calcination of a mixture comprising disodium hydrogen orthophosphate and trisodium orthophosphate.

Abstract: In the method for the simultaneous output of an announcement text from a telephone answering machine to a plurality of callers or a plurality of telephone lines, two announcement units are provided with two recording media, a switch being made from one recording medium to the other after the end of the announcement text on one recording medium, the recording medium of which the announcement text has ended returning to its starting position during the output of the announcement text by the other recording medium. This avoids waiting times for the caller, which would otherwise occur if the recording medium returns to its starting position after the end of the announcement text. Since neither fast forwarding nor fast return is necessary, it is ensured that both the announcement units and the sound carrier are operated without undue stress. An apparatus for answering telephone calls which operates by this method is described.
