Title: Aid for climbing trees, poles and the like
Inventor: STEIDINGER HEIKO
IPC: A63B27/00
Filed: 1997-05-08
Abstract: The invention concerns an aid for climbing trees, poles and the like, which simplifies the climbing of a pole or tree in open line construction and forestry and serves as effective protection against falls. According to the invention, the person wears a security harness to which a support line (1) is attached. In contrast to known devices, this support line is guided along the side of the mast facing the person. A safety line (4) is linked into the support line (1) by means of carabiners (5) and is largely guided along the side of the pole opposite the person. If the person is in danger of sliding from the pole, then the support line is heavily loaded and thereby pulls together the loop formed by the support line (1) and the safety line (4), and the friction between the lines and the pole prevents a fall.

Abstract: To produce a chip card, the coil carrier layer is prepared, with the coil (10A) and the coil connections. A prepared covering layer is placed over the carrier, on the coil connection side, with openings matching the positions of the coil connections. A further layer is placed over the covering layer, to give thickness compensation, and further layers to compensate for thickness can be on the side of the carrier away from the coil connections. The orientation of the layers are set accurately to bring the openings and coil connections into alignment with each other. The overlaid layers are placed in a lamination press, to be bonded together by heat and pressure, and the projecting coil connections are pressed back into the plastics mass in the openings of the covering layer. The laminated card is taken from the laminating press, and an opening is milled to hold the chip modules (3), and the coil connections are left free. The chip module (3) is inserted into the holder opening of the card body, and the chip module and coil connections are electrically linked together. Also claimed is a chip card with a coil carrier layer for a coil (10A) and coil connections. The carrier layer has humped projections at least partially and at the coil connections, to give a positive fit with the overlaid covering layer. The covering layer is in turn covered with a layer to give thickness compensation. The chip module (3), with an integrated circuit within a recess in the card body, has contacts to be linked electrically to the coil connections.

IPC: H01H71/74

Abstract: A solenoid type magnetic trip assembly (22) for a molded case circuit breaker
(10) includes an armature (80) biased against an adjustable stop (138) by a tension
spring (116) to set the initial gap (220) for the magnetic trip, so that the spring bias
remains constant for the full range of the initial gap (220). The armature (80) includes
an elongated armature element (82) mounted by a frame (84) to slide longitudinally
along a pair of guide rails (122). The frame (84) defines a trip surface (104) axially
aligned with the elongated armature element (82) which engages a trip arm (160) on
a trip bar (24) to trip the circuit breaker (10) in response to a predetermined level of
overcurrent. A bimetal (168) providing a thermal trip function is cantilevered from a
support spaced from the trip bar (24) by the armature (80), but has a terminal portion
(174) at the free end (172) projecting toward the trip bar (24) and through which the
elongated armature element (82) of the armature (80) extends. A radially enlarged slug
(88) on the free end of the elongated armature element (82) of the armature (80) is
subjected to a magnetic force opposite to the force generated by load current tending
to pull the armature (80) into the solenoid coil (74). This opposing force increases as
the initial gap (220) increases, placing the slug (88) closer to the magnetic frame (78),
so that a greater range of trip currents can be selected despite limited room for
armature travel. A gap (228) in the magnetic frame (78) prevents short circuiting the
magnetic field where the few turns of a large gauge coil wire produce an
unsymmetrical winding. A magnetic shield (198) protects the bimetal (168) from
deformation during high current short circuits. A non-magnetic spring clip (230)
firmly retains the magnetic frame (78) in a recess (232) in the circuit breaker housing
(12).

Abstract: In a modulation/demodulation system for an infrared data
communication, a three-bit serial-to-parallel converting circuit captures
an input signal in units of three bits in synchronism with an input clock,
and outputs a three-bit parallel data to a decoder. This decoder converts
the three-bit parallel data into a four-bit parallel data having different
patterns corresponding to all different patterns of the three-bit parallel
data in a one-to-one relation. In this four-bit parallel data, regardless of
how the four-bit parallel data are serially arranged, the total length of the
continuing "1" bits is two bits at maximum, and the total length of the
continuing "0" bits is six bits at maximum. A four-bit parallel-to-serial
converting circuit receives the four-bit parallel data, to serially output a
serial data in synchronism with a modulation clock. Thus, the data
transfer rate can be elevated in the infrared data communication.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant de cribler des composés chimiques afin d'identifier des ligands destinés à des récepteurs, notamment aux récepteurs liés aux protéines G. Elle utilise des cellules dans lesquelles le récepteur est couplé, par l'intermédiaire d'un second système messager, à un canal ionique déclenché par un nucléotide cyclique. Quand le récepteur est stimulé, le second système messager produit un nucléotide cyclique, ce qui provoque le passage d'un flux ionique dans le canal. L'invention, dans laquelle ledit flux est mesuré par fluorescence, constitue un moyen rapide et pratique pour identifier des ligands de récepteurs. Elle permet d'obtenir des cultures cellulaires mixtes formées de cellules qui expriment différents types de récepteurs et dans lesquelles on peut charger différents rapporteurs fluorescents du flux ionique, ainsi qu'un système multiplexé qui accélère le processus d'identification des ligands. L'invention concerne également les cellules utiles pour ledit procédé, ainsi que les méthodes permettant de les utiliser.
