Abstract: L'invention concerne un mécanisme d'allumage piézo-électrique équipé d'un ensemble télescopique, ce dernier étant doté d'un élément intérieur et d'un élément extérieur assistés par un ressort de rappel afin de maintenir un écart maximal entre ces éléments. L'élément intérieur comporte une pièce piézo-électrique qui est immobilisée entre une butée et une plage d'impact sur laquelle frappe un marteau pour produire une étincelle. Un ressort d'impact destiné à assister le marteau est guidé à l'intérieur de l'ensemble télescopique, et est placé entre le marteau et un élément d'extrémité connecté à l'élément télescopique extérieur. Un ressort résistant est également placé sur, ou à proximité de l'élément d'extrémité pour fournir une résistance supplémentaire au fonctionnement du mécanisme piézo-électrique dans le but de dissuader de jeunes utilisateurs de faire fonctionner le briquet.

Abstract: An optical fibre connector comprising a hollow cylindrical body 2 having a throughbore 3 with an inner surface 4. A hollow sleeve or carrier 6 in the form of a cylindrical tube having a throughbore 8 fits snugly within the hollow body throughbore 3. The sleeve 6 can receive and releasably retain a pair of optical fibre assemblies 11 which are to be optically coupled to one another by means of the connector. The sleeve 6 accommodates a plurality of discrete individual engagement means in the form of balls 10 in holes around its circumference. The balls 10 protrude through the holes in the sleeve into the throughbore 3, and are free to rotate as an optical fibre assembly moves past them. The optical fibre assemblies 11 are biassed against the balls 10 and thereby against the inner surface of the connector body by resilient biassing means in the form of spring arrangements 14. Each spring arrangement 14 comprises an elongate resilient strip 15 pivoted about its midpoint on a pivot 20. In this arrangement, as an optical fibre assembly 10 is inserted into the carrier 6, the pivoting action of the spring prevents the biassing force being applied by the spring on the assembly until a first 21 and second 22 end of the assembly are in contact with a distal 23 and proximal 24 end respectively of the spring arrangement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention includes a method for heating a deposition material to form a vapor that may be deposited on a polymer film and thereby create a holographic film or similar material. Included within this method is a vaporizer that has an adjustable aperture. The vaporizer may have (i) a flexible wall that defines a cavity in which a deposition material is heated (ii) a first lip extending outward from a first side of the flexible wall and (iii) a second lip extending outward from a second side of the flexible wall. The aperture size can be adjusted to a desired cross-sectional opening by adjusting the distance of separation between the first lip and the second lip. By adjusting the size of the aperture, the flow rate of the vapor from the vaporizer can be adjusted to achieve a desired flow rate. Heat from a heat source in thermal communication with the vaporizer may be employed to heat the deposition material to form a vapor. The vaporizer may be disposed within a vacuum chamber, which has a feed roll and a take up roll. Film may be transferred from the feed roll to the take up roll so that, the vapor is deposited on the film.

Abstract: A new culture medium for identifying the presence of Salmonella inenterobacteria samples, especially faeces, contains two chromogenic enzyme substrates, one of which is a substrate for alpha-D-galactosidase, for which Salmonella is positive. The other substrate is one for which Salmonella is negative such as beta-D-galactosidase. The substrates are incorporated into an agar medium. Positive and negative results are found to be readily observable where one of the substrates is an esculetin, preferably a cyclohexenoesculetin compound in the presence of ferric ions, which produces a black color, and the other substrate is an indoxyl compound, for instance, a 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl compound which produces a green colored enzymic reaction product.

Abstract: The method includes placing a vessel containing a solution having magnetized substances into a magnetic device. The solution is then incubated in the device for a period of time sufficient to allow the magnetized substances to migrate radially toward the interior wall of the vessel, and a sample of the solution removed from the center of the vessel would contain non-magnetized particles. The magnetic device is made of four polar magnets and a plurality of interpolar magnets disposed therebetween. The interpolar magnets are positioned to progressively rotate towards the orientation of the four polar magnets creating an even flux within the solution thereby causing the radial movement of the magnetized substances toward the inner wall of the surrounding magnets.
