Abstract: A method of connection which makes it possible to use conventional systems of electric welding such as those normally used for the connection of steel sheets; the method makes it possible to connect materials that are different, for instance sheet steel (1) and polymer composites (2), by providing steel members in the shape of cups (10) of appropriate diameter and of a depth equivalent to the thickness of the polymer material (2) in question in which these cups are appropriately inserted. In this way it is possible to generate a contact between the connected members which, as they are both metal, enables the passage of electric current.

Abstract: The invention includes a small engine (10) having a flywheel (16) operatively connected to turn as the engine (10) turns. Louvered fins (18) on the flywheel (16) act as a fan to compress air and provide a pressurized air supply. Ducting (20) around the flywheel (16) directs the pressurized air past engine block fins (14) to cool the engine (10). High temperature exhaust gas leaves the engine (10) through an exhaust manifold (22) and passes through a venturi (24). Continued shrouding (20) directs the pressurized air from the flywheel (16) into the venturi (24) and mixes with the exhaust gas before entering the catalytic converter (26). The remaining pressurized air flows around the catalytic converter housing and acts as an insulator/heat transfer agent for the high catalytic converter temperatures. A mixing chamber (28) after the catalytic converter (26) allows the additional pressurized air and exhaust gas to mix before being released out the tailpipe (36) to the atmosphere at acceptable temperature.

Abstract: Load measuring apparatus particularly but not solely for the weighing of animals is supported on load-bearing feet. Each load bearing foot provides an electrical signal indicating the load thereon and the sum of the electrical signals indicates the total load. Each load bearing foot has a strut (1) which is in use attached to the load, housing (2) which rests on a load-bearing surface and a load cell (3) which is fixed within housing (2) and transmits the load force carried by strut (1) to housing (2) and thence to the load-bearing surface. The strut (1) passes through an aperture (7) in housing (2) to bear against load cell (3) which is in the central cavity (5) of the housing (2). The strut (1) is able to move towards load cell (3), but is substantially restricted from moving away from the load cell (3), and preferably is able to have some rotational movement relative to base (4). The load-bearing feet overcome the bulkiness and expensiveness of prior art weighing systems and are portable, inexpensive and accurate in use.

Abstract: A string trimmer (10) apparatus incorporates a mounting arrangement for securing a line cut-off blade (52) to a guard (20) of the trimmer apparatus without the need for rivets, threaded screws or the like. The string trimmer apparatus includes a first housing half and a second housing half. The first housing half includes a guard portion having a slot (44) integrally formed therein adapted to receive slidably therein a line cut-off blade. The slot has a depth sufficient to accept a major portion of the blade such that only a cutting edge (54) of the blade is exposed once fully inserted in the slot. The blade is maintained captively within the slot when the first housing half is secured to the second housing half. The first housing half includes a wall portion (58) which overlies a portion of the length of the cut-off blade such that when the first housing half is fixedly secured to the second housing half the cutting edge of the blade is caused to dig or "bite" into the wall portion. In this manner the cut-off blade is captively maintained within the slot once the two housing halves are assembled together without the need for rivets, threaded screws or the like. A sloped wall portion (46) of the guard also guides a cutting line gradually over an inner surface of the guard after the line has been cut.

Abstract: An apparatus and method which utilize polarization diversity detection to compensate for polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) introduced in an optical signal propagating over a medium such as optical fiber. A received optical signal is separated into first and second polarization components by a polarization beam splitter (PBS). A control signal corresponding to a phase difference between the polarization components is used to drive at least one polarization controller located in the optical signal path before the PBS, such that the two polarization components are aligned with the PSPs of the received optical signal. The control signal may also be used to adjust a variable delay element such that phases of the two polarization components are aligned before the components are combined to provide a PMD-compensated output signal. Other aspects of the invention are directed to polarization control using a rotator element with low numerical aperture input and output signal coupling, and to the use of feedback control to compensate for variations in loss through a polarization controller.

Abstract: A novel ELISA type, referred to as Sandwich ELISA comprising polyclonal anti-p21 antibodies generated from a p21 containing cysteine residues is described. The Sandwich ELISA type was used for the detection of anti-non-ras-p21 antibodies with a particular N-terminal aminoacid sequence of two peptides. These antibodies are used at the same time as catcher and detector of 21 KDA protein, the multivalent p21 antigen being bound to the catcher at a pH of 9.6. The ELISA procedure using the Sandwich type was found to be most useful for clinical monitoring of patients with various types of tumors.

Abstract: The method comprises several operating steps. Firstly blanks (21) are cut from a band of semi rigid material. The two parts of the pairs of zones (2,2A - 9,9A) which are to be stuck together are then pre-pasted with a contact glue. This is followed by drying which causes the glue to partially lose its adhesive ability. The blank is then folded around the product and the pairs of glued zones are turned down against each other to obtain contact. On the packets thus made is placed an enveloping film and the packets are placed against each other inside packaging. The packaged packets are held for a day to obtain an increase in the quality of gluing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: On sait que les éléments d'isolation thermique, par ex. dans des réfrigérateurs, peuvent être plus efficaces s'ils sont enfermés dans un boîtier étanche et soumis à un vide élevé. Sur la base de considérations théoriques concernant de la mousse dotée de petites cellules, il a été pertinent d'utiliser un vide de 0,001 mbar et un enfermement hermétique des éléments. Dans le cadre de la présente invention, on a découvert que des résultats utilisables sur le plan pratique peuvent être obtenus à des pressions bien plus élevées, soit de l'ordre de 1 mbar environ, ce qui permet une production beaucoup plus facile. En conséquence, il est possible de parvenir à une nouvelle simplification en renonçant à l'enfermement hermétique et en se basant sur un enfermement "presque étanche", combiné à l'utilisation d'une pompe à vide active placée dans chaque appareil. Une telle pompe peut facilement avoir une capacité suffisante pour maintenir le vide modéré en dépit de fuites d'air venant de l'extérieur et de la production possible de gaz internes. Pour cet objectif spécifique, on a constaté qu'il est préférable d'utiliser une mousse isolante du type à cellules ouvertes.
