Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU90/00118 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 23, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 23, 1992 PCT Filed Mar. 23, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO88/00334 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 14, 1988.An apparatus for measuring a force or load comprising a vibratory beam which vibrates back and forth at a resonant frequency. The beam has first and second end nodal points and first and second ends adjacent to the first and second nodal points. The first end of the vibratory beam is coupled to the load for applying a stress to the vibratory beam that determines the resonant frequency at which the beam vibrates. In addition, masses are coupled to the beam intermediate of the first and second ends. The masses are arranged symmetrically on opposite sides of the beam and reciprocate at the resonant frequency. The reciprocatory masses are located at a position along the beam at which the greatest back and forth vibration of the beam at the resonant frequency occurs. Alternatively, a pair of vibratory beams are provided. The beams are coupled together at opposite ends to form a tuning fork, each beam having a portion which vibrates back and forth at a resonant frequency. Masses are coupled to these portions of each of the beams, the masses being arranged symmetrically relative to each beam and reciprocating at the resonant frequency.

Abstract: This invention relates to a material which heats and cooks foods from outside by absorbing microwaves of an electronic range and by generating heat. A conductive substance or a nonconductive compound containing transition metals of atomic number 21-29 is mixed in a base material having an Fe group oxide as a principal component. Since the material has a rapid heat generating speed, the temperature in heat-generation is high, and further the material is cheap; it is effective as a material generating heat by absorbing microwaves.

Abstract: Infectious medical wastes such as injection needles are crushed to shapeless fine pieces and put into a mixer together with powdery catalysts, and heated to 180 °C or higher with heat generated by heating means and frictional heat caused by stirring in the mixer. Heat exceeding 180 °C sterilizes the infectious wastes. Powdery catalysts heated to 160 °C or higher absorb an offensive smell or poisonous gas emitting from said wastes. Thus, sterilization  and absorption of poisonous gas can be attained at the same time and products discharged from the mixer can be utilized as aggregates for concrete.

Dans le sens de son glissement, chaque élément présente une série de caractères imprimés et l'un quelconque de ces caractères peut devenir visible lorsque l'on fait glisser l'élément derrière une fenêtre (9) ménagée dans ledit élément masque frontal ou dans ledit élément dorsal. L'élément frontal possède une fenêtre arrière (9) rendant visible une partie de la surface inscriptible desdits éléments coulissants. Un positionnement univalent prédéterminé des éléments l'un par rapport à l'autre correspond à un code d'accès auto-attribué constitué des caractères visibles à travers lesdites fenêtres. Lorsque les éléments coulissants sont ainsi positionnés, on peut inscrire des codes personnels et des données dans des cases qui recouvrent la partie visible de la surface desdits éléments. On peut inscrire dans les cases laissées vides des caractères semblables à ceux utilisés pour enregistrer les codes personnels, de sorte qu'un décodage soit quasi impossible si l'on ne connaît pas le code d'accès composé par un positionnement approprié desdits éléments coulissants.

Abstract: Ce dispositif comprend une chambre d'adressage (CD) dans laquelle sont logées deux membranes (M1,M2/ M3,M4/ M5,M6/ M7,M8) de grande flexibilité qui peuvent être dotées de moyens de compensation de la perte d'élasticité. En l'absence de pression du liquide de lavage, les deux membranes (M1,M2/ M3,M4/ M5,M6/ M7,8) ferment de manière permanente, par leur propre action élastique et, dans leur cas, par l'action des moyens de compensation de perte d'élasticité, les sorties correspondantes (4a, 3a) de la chambre CD. En fonction du sens de rotation de la turbine de la pompe, le liquide de lavage provoquera la déformation élastique de la membrane correspondante (M1,M2/ M3,M4/ M5,M6/ M7,M8), permettant le passage de liquide de lavage  à travers le conduit de sortie associé (3, 4). Lors de l'arrêt du fonctionnement de la turbine, la membrane en question rétablit l'action de fermeture sur la sortie (3a, 4a). Applicable à l'industrie de l'automobile.

Abstract: Le transmetteur de pression décrit (10) comprend un transducteur de pression (12) placé dans un logement de transmetteur (14). Le logement de transmetteur (14) comporte une fente ou encoche (20) formant une faille à proximité immédiate d'un bord extérieur (24) du logement. Le bord extérieur (24) reçoit une force de serrage importante provenant d'une bride (16) et il peut fléchir à l'endroit de la faille de façon à réduire la transmission des composantes axiales et radiales de la force de serrage depuis le bord extérieur (24) du logement vers le transducteur (12), cette force risquant d'occasionner des distorsions au transducteur de pression (12). Les forces de serrage inégalement réparties, causées par l'expansion thermique différentielle de la bride (16), des boulons (26) et du logement (14) sont isolées du transducteur (12), réduisant ainsi les erreurs de mesure. En outre, on obtient également une réduction de la transmission des forces radiales d'hystérésis depuis le logement (14) du transmetteur vers le transducteur (12), qui sont causées par le frottement dû au glissement de la bride (16) sur le logement (14) du transmetteur de pression, chacun de ces éléments présentant des coefficients d'expansion thermique différents. Plusieurs types de transducteurs de pression (12), par exemple des transducteurs à cellules capacitives, peuvent être montés dans le logement (14) du transmetteur pour fournir un signal de sortie de pression indicateur de la pression linéaire et différentielle.
