Abstract: A riding or travelling bit for horses comprising at least one rigid or articulated bit rod (2) made at least partially of metal. The inventive bit is characterized in that the bit rod has at least two different metal parts (4,6) thus creating a difference in electrical potential. This difference in electric potential creates a sour taste for the horse, encouraging it to chew and making it receptive to assistance from the reins. In one embodiment, one member (4) of the two-membered bit rod (2) is made of one type of metal and the other member is made of another type of metal. Both members are coupled together in a known manner by means of self-engaging eyelets (8, 10) in a chain-like fashion. However, at least one of the eyelets is lined (12) with electrically insulating material. In another embodiment, both metal surfaces are electrically connected to various poles of at least one commercial electric battery cell (94) which is accommodated in a tubular receptacle (92) forming one part of the bit rod (90).

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for automatically and dynamically adjusting a frequency division factor of a clock divider situated in the feedback loop of a phase-locked loop (PLL). The frequency division factor is modified based on changes in the input signal frequency forwarded to the PLL. If the input signal frequency increases, the decision circuit coupled to the input of the voltage controlled oscillator records that change as an encoded digital signal. That signal will accordingly modify the current frequency division factor dependent on current division factor as well as the current input signal frequency. The decision circuit can be modeled as an A/D converter, and the control unit placed between the decision circuit and the clock divider can be modeled as a state diagram. Each state of the state diagram is indicative of a frequency division factor, or a change in that division factor, wherein the coded digital signal indicates possible change from one state to another. By modifying the frequency division factor, the PLL can dynamically lock upon a changed input signal frequency without varying the clocking signal output from the PLL. Thus, the PLL can accommodate various input signal frequencies yet maintain a relatively fixed clocking signal to be forwarded as a timing reference to a digital processor.

Abstract: A cutting insert comprises an upper chip surface (16), a bottom surface (17) and side faces (18, 19) therebetween. At each of the end faces the cutting insert has axially protruding portions (22, 23), each of which appears with a bevel face (26, 27). Main cutting edges are provided in the intersection between the chip surface (16) and the side surfaces (18, 19). On each side surface is provided a clearance surface (30) formed on a protruding portion (31) which via a step clearance extends into a secondary helically twisted clearance surface, the chip angle of which increases with increasing cutting depth. With the cutting insert regarded in plan view the bevel face is oriented in straight angle towards the main cutting edge (24, 25). Thanks to this embodiment is achieved constant functional edge angle along a wave-shaped edge line, which combined with step clearance and large positive axial angle ( alpha ) enables improved precision when machining a 90-degree shoulder in a work piece, which contributes to a more even wear along the main cutting edge and increased life-time of the cutting insert. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a filter (F) for cooling air to electric motors, snow or ice is removed by a heater (H) once the temperature and flow sensors (S) indicate a low temperature combined with a reduced air flow. A regulator (SR) receives the signals and automatically starts the clearing cycle. The circulation fan (L) remains switched off until air is available. The unit is a filter (F) for cooling air to electric motors. Snow or ice is removed be a heater (H) once the temperature and flow sensors (S) indicate a low temperature combined with a reduced air flow. A regulator (SR) receives the signals and automatically starts the clearing cycle. The circulation fan (L) remains switched off until air is available. A temperature reading of 0-5 deg C will activate the heater. A cycle of activated fan and activated heater continues until airflow is established. If the filter cannot be cleared because of normal blocking by detritus then the reduced air flow will cause the heater to remain activated. The increase in temperature then sounds an alarm.
