Abstract: The invention relates to an inductive ignition system, in particular for infantry weapons, having a primary coil (2) which cooperates inductively with a secondary coil (3) in the ignition system of cartridge (4) and which transmits the firing energy that is required for the ignition. For the necessary firing energy to be produced and made available internally, that is with additional supply, the invention proposes fitting a weapon breechblock component (5), displaceable from a cocked position to a firing position, in the weapon housing (1) in which is located the primary coil (2), and that, for production of the ignition energy, an inductive power generator (6) is provided whose coil system (7) is fitted in the weapon breechblock component (5) and whose magnet system (8) is fitted in the weapon housing (1). On displacing the weapon breechblock component (5) from the cocked position to the firing position, the coil system slides pass the magnet system (8) and induces the necessary ignition energy in the coil system (7).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for imaging body tissue utilizing autofluorescence. The apparatus includes an endoscope having a distal end, proximal end and a light processing unit located at the proximal end of the endoscope. The light processing unit accepts light in a spectral region from a light source and directs the light through the endoscope to the tissue located at the distal end of the endoscope. The light excites autofluorescence in the tissue. Optics located in the distal end of the endoscope collect the excited autofluorescence in a spatially resolved manner and routes it to the light processing unit which separates the emitted light from any reflected excitation light. A plurality of imaging detectors receive the emitted light. Each imaging detector is responsive to light in a different spectral band such that an image is generated and interpreted according to a plurality of independent measurements. An apparatus for sampling tissue includes an endoscopic device having a sampling device. The sampling device is capable of taking a plurality of tissue samples. Captive units are in communication with the sampling device such that each tissue sample is deposited in a separate captive unit.

Abstract: A capacitive pressure transducer includes a conductive diaphragm positioned between pneumatically separated chambers. The diaphragm is fixed and sealingly coupled at its periphery to the peripheral rim of a concave body member. The diaphragm is supported in tension by the peripheral rim of the body member. An electrode assembly, supported by the body member establishes a substantially planar conductive surface opposite to and spaced apart by a nominal gap from the conductive diaphragm. The body member includes a yieldable portion that is adapted to radially expand its peripheral rim in response to forces applied to the body member. When the forces are applied, the body member becomes strained beyond its elastic limit and takes a permanent set whereby the peripheral rim is expanded and the diaphragm becomes tensioned. The tension in the diaphragm can be determined as a function of the geometry of the body member and deformation resulting from the forces applied. Additional forces can be applied at a later point in time in order to change or adjust the tension in the diaphragm.

Abstract: A resistance mechanism suitable for resistance exercise equipment. Resistance packs include circular rims and central hubs connected by deformable spokes. The packs are stacked in pairs with the rims in each pair pinned together and the hubs rotatable relative to one another. Each hub has a spline connection with the hub of the next resistance pack in the adjacent pair. This provides a series arrangement of the resistance packs which allows a long extension of the actuator with the spokes of each pack being deformed only slightly. A spiral pay out pulley for the cord assists in avoiding varying resistance with extension of the cord. A preload mechanism which allows an initial preload resistance to be set includes a large gear connected with the stack of resistance packs and a smaller gear meshing with the large gear. A pivotal pawl urged against the teeth of the large gear allows the gear to turn in a direction to initially deform the spokes to preset the initial resistance level. The pawl locks the gear against rotation in the opposite direction. A visual indicator operated by the smaller gear aligns with graduation marks on a scale to indicate the level of the initial resistance.

Abstract: A high-speed precision positioning apparatus has a stage supported by a platen. The stage is driven by a plurality of drive motors that are co-planar with the stage and arranged symmetrically around the stage. The drive motors apply drive forces directly to the stage without any mechanical contact to the stage. The drive forces impart planar motion to the stage in at least three degrees of freedom of motion. In the remaining three degrees of freedom the motion is constrained by a plurality of fluid bearings that operate between the stage and the platen. The drive motors are configured as magnets, attached to the stage, moving in a gap formed in-between top and bottom stationary coils. Integral force cancellation is implemented by a force cancellation system that applies cancellation forces to the stage. The cancellation forces, which are co-planar with a center of gravity of the stage and any components that move with the stage, cancel forces generated by planar motion of the stage. Interferometric encoders are used as position detectors.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé d'enregistrement à plusieurs valeurs basé sur un nouveau principe utilisant un support à variation de phase. Ce procédé d'enregistrement/reproduction consiste à irradier par un faisceau d'énergie d'enregistrement un support d'enregistrement d'informations pourvu d'une couche d'enregistrement. La phase passe d'un état cristallin à un état amorphe lorsqu'elle est irradiée par un faisceau d'énergie de manière à faire fondre localement la couche d'enregistrement et à former, par conséquent, une marque amorphe lorsque la partie fondue refroidit et se solidifie, les informations étant ainsi enregistrées. Le procédé consiste, en outre, à contrôler la taille de la marque amorphe en mettant en compétition le procédé de recristallisation et le procédé de non cristallisation dans le processus de solidification de manière à contrôler l'intensité de la lumière réfléchie par la région irradiée avec un faisceau lumineux de reproduction par rapport à un des trois niveaux d'enregistrement, ou plus, selon la différence des caractéristiques optiques entre la partie cristal et la partie amorphe de la région irradiée, et selon les surfaces de leurs parties.

Title: Variable set-up barrier for pollution barriers
Inventor: BOTTONI MARIO
IPC: B63B/
Filed: 1993-05-19
Granted: 1997-01-24
Abstract: The variable set-up barrier is a floating apparatus capable of containing, carrying out and recovering various models of vertical pollution barriers. Its essential characteristic is in creating variable immersion of the platform, permitting two main set-ups: A - set-up with reduced draught in which fluid mechanic resistances are reduced to a minimum with faster tugging to the place of intervention as a result. B - working set-up with greater draught than condition A in which the ideal set-up of the pollution barrier is guaranteed. This characteristic is obtained by flooding (opening the watertight door) and emptying  the central part of the platform by means of an appropriate pump. The transport set-up also makes it possible to protect the barrier stored inside it from incrustations during mooring periods. The platform is suitable for the continuous defence of ports, harbours, oil terminals and off-shore coastal installations. <IMAGE>
