Abstract: A retaining device for a disc-shaped item of recorded media includes at least one arm that projects through the central opening of the disc with a locking finger that engages the upper edge of the disc. The disc is released when the user pushes downwardly on the retaining device to collapse the arm through the central opening of the disc to release the disc. The downward force on the device forces portions of the retaining device below the bottom wall of the container. When the downward force is released, the arms engage the lower inner edge of the disc and hold the disc on top of the retaining device. The invention also provides a disc-holding page that snaps into the lid of the container to allow a second disc to be stored.

Abstract: Pour sécuriser un objet représentable par ordinateur (120) (tel qu'une clé cryptographique, un graphe ou une description booléenne de système), on recourt à une technique de camouflage généralisée. L'objet sécurisé n'a pas besoin d  être stocké dans le système, même pas sous une forme cryptée. La technique fait intervenir une fonction de composition (110) qui régénère l'objet sécurisé lorsque l'on entre un mot de passe valide (qui peut être constitué par n'importe quelle information représentable informatiquement en possession d'un utilisateur). Le fait de régénérer l'objet sécurisé chaque fois que l'on entre un mot de passe valide rend superflu le stockage de l'objet sécurisé. En cas d'utilisation d'un mot de passe non valide, la technique peut produire un objet incorrect à partir de l'objet sécurisé. Si l'utilisateur tente d'utiliser l'objet incorrect, il risque de se dévoiler comme intrus, à son insu.

Abstract: A simplified analyzer characterized by comprising a see-through sealed vessel having a color reaction reagent sealed therein, and a plug member extractable to extend through the sealed vessel. One end of the plug member is formed with a finger hook larger in diameter than the other portions, so that in use, the plug member is extracted by a finger tip put into the hook, thereby easily obtaining an opening to effect the discharge of the air in the sealed vessel and the suction of a liquid to be tested. Further, provision of the plug member in advance always provides an opening of suitable diameter at a position suitable for the suction of a liquid to be tested, thus eliminating individual differences due to operators, improving the reliability of analysis.

Abstract: A tool fastening mechanism has a housing 2, in which a clamping opening 3 is embodied for receiving a tapering tool shaft clamping end 4 of a tool part 5. The clamping opening 3 tapers inward in the introduction direction of the clamping end 4 of a tool part 5, and furthermore the tapering sides are inclined toward one another in a plane extending perpendicular to the introduction direction, as a result of which the opening has a trapezoidal cross section, and the length of this cross section decreases away from the orifice of the clamping opening 3. The housing 2 furthermore has a transverse opening 7, which intersects the clamping opening 3 and in which a locking pin 8 is received. Upon introduction of a tool into the fastening mechanism, a tapering edge 20 of the pin 8 comes into engagement with a front edge 21 of an oblong hole 9, embodied in the clamping edge 4 of the tool part 5, and the resultant engagement action draws the clamping end 4 deeper into the clamping opening 3, while the pin 8 is driven farther into the transverse opening 7. The combination of the double tapering of the clamping opening 3 and the longitudinal locking accomplished by the locking pin 8 makes it possible to effectively restrict all six degrees of freedom of the tool part, within the production tolerances attainable by conventional mass-production methods.

Abstract: A device for supplying, out of an at least partly disordered amount of flabby rings of an elastic material and with essentially the same circumference in an unloaded rest position, the rings piece by piece in one position exhibits at least two rolls (4, 5) arranged to receive said amount on a reception area of said rolls. The rolls are arranged to define together, through contact surfaces for the rings on their envelope surfaces and their mutual distances, a minimum inner circumference for th erings and to define, in one position, this minimum inner circumference of the rings such that said circumference decreases continuously from the reception area towards a first end of the rolls and is larger than the inner circumference of the rings in the rest position. Means are arranged to bring at least a first one of the rolls to rotate in order to pull the rings along with it, by means of friction, and to feed them from the reception area towards the first end.
