Abstract: Method for manufacturing metal plate radiators for domestic heating systems that comprise a plurality of radiator elements, each radiator element being formed by two heads (11a) connected by multiple pipes (12); the heads being formed by respective juxtaposed half-shells and being provided with fittings for connecting the multiple pipes (12). The method is adapted to reduce the manufacturing costs of the radiator elements and to improve their structural qualities, and comprises a first step for connecting the half-shells and for forming each head, and a second step for connecting the pipes (12) to the fittings of the head and for forming the radiator element; both steps are performed by capacitor-discharge welding by means of respective electrodes (30a,30b) that simultaneously act as elements for retaining and mutually positioning the elements to be welded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A structure for preventing simultaneous conduction in the power transistors of an ouput circuit of an audio system includes an auxiliary device in each of the high side control and low side control circuits controlling the power transistors. The auxiliary device in the high side control circuit is turned on simultaneously with the high side power transistor to provide a control signal to the low side control circuit, thereby turning off the low side power transistor. Conversely, the auxiliary device in the low side control circuit is turned on simultaneously with the low side power transistor to provide a control signal to the high side control circuit, thereby turning off the high side power transistor. Thus, simultaneous conduction in the high and low side power transistors is prevented.

Abstract: When a vacuum pump (32) is used to produce a vacuum in rigid or flexible packaging (2), it is impossible to prevent liquids evacuated from the package from reaching the region of the pump (32). In order to prevent this from affecting or damaging the pump (32), the invention calls for a buffer tank (30) or similar device to be connected upstream of the pump (32). In a particularly simple and practical embodiment of the invention, the housing (2) of the vacuum-packaging machine is used as the buffer tank (30), one side of the housing (2) being fitted with a connection point (5) for connecting tubing (7) and the opposite side being fitted with a connection point (15) for the tubing (19) from the standard food packaging (21) to be evacuated. Any liquids evacuated from the packaging will have to pass through the housing (2) which is impossible, resulting in their collecting in the housing from where they can be removed without any great difficulty.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stabilization system for stabilizing the lateral oscillation of a cabin (4) of a vehicle, especially of a forest tractor. This system comprises a front (1) and rear frame (2) connected to one another in which the cabin (4) is preferably located in the front frame (1). The object of the invention is to eliminate the low-frequency vibration of the cabin in a simple and inexpensive way. The vehicle according to the invention has a front frame (1) that is arranged onto a back frame (2) with a joint (3) of at least one degree of freedom that allows the rotation of the frames essentially with respect to the longitudinal axle of the vehicle. Furthermore, the front frame (1) has at least one axle (6) suspended so that it swings essentially with respect to the longitudinal axle of the vehicle. Thus the mass to be moved with the equipment according to the invention is relatively small, whereby the need for hydraulic power in the equipment is not unreasonably great.

Abstract: Pour la culture en série de micro-organismes ou de cellules dans des colonnes de liquide gazéifié, on utilise un dispositif présentant une série de fioles de culture à base ouverte ou perforée comportant, au-dessus de la base ou de l'ouverture de la base, une plaque filtrante poreuse, perméable au gaz, dont la porosité et le caractère hydrophobe sont suffisants pour empêcher l'écoulement du liquide à partir d'une colonne de liquide de culture située au-dessus de cette plaque. Ces fioles de culture sont reliées, ou peuvent être reliées, via leurs bases, à une alimentation en gaz stérile. Pour l'alimentation en gaz stérile, on utilise en particulier un double-fond étanche au gaz ayant un conduit d'amenée de gaz stérile, dont la plaque supérieure est munie d'une série de logements présentant des ouvertures de passage du gaz destinées à charger de façon étanche les fioles de culture. Il est prévu, pour plus d'efficacité, une coiffe à contrôle thermostatique recouvrant la série des fioles de culture et appliquée de façon étanche sur les doubles-fonds. Dans l'alimentation de gaz stérile, il est prévu, de façon avantageuse, un manomètre et un débit-mètre, ainsi qu'un humidificateur de gaz. Le double-fond peut être divisé, par des traverses correspondantes, en compartiments pour l'alimentation individuelles de différents groupes de fioles.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method of vibration welding of thermoplastic joints. Such welding is conducted by vibrating two fiber reinforced thermoplastic parts under pressure along their common interface to generate frictional heat to melt and fuse their surfaces together. Fibers from at least one surface penetrate both into the weld and into the other surface. As a result, the welded, fibre reinforced thermoplastic surfaces have increased tensile strength than heretofore achievable. Vibration welds of reinforced thermoplastic surfaces according to this invention achieve a maximum tensile strength as high as about 120 % of a weld formed by the unreinforced surfaces of corresponding thermoplastic materials.

Abstract: Dans les systèmes de conditionnement en continu, lorsque l'on coupe des bandes ou feuilles étroites et continues de papier, par exemple pour emballer des corps de crèmes glacées, on se sert généralement d'une lame de coupe dont le bord coupant (4) est poussé contre une surface d'enclume, afin de pouvoir trancher la bande. De manière à couper efficacement cette bande, il peut être nécessaire d'utiliser une pression de coupe relativement élevée, ce qui endommage le tranchant de la lame en provoquant une déformation durable de celui-ci, la durée de vie de tels couteaux étant donc relativement courte. Selon l'invention, on a réalisé un ensemble outil de manière à ce que la lame de coupe et l'enclume possèdent des portions de butée coopérantes (6, 9), lesquelles ne peuvent être forcées l'une contre l'autre au-delà de ce qui correspond à une déformation purement élastique du bord coupant (4). Ainsi, on peut encore utiliser des pressions relativement élevées de coupe, mais d'une manière régulée en fonction d'une déformation acceptable du bord coupant. De cette façon, on obtient des outils présentant une grande efficacité et une bonne durabilité.

Abstract: A simplified desktop book binder method and apparatus wherein the sheets to be bound are accurately aligned by the binder tape itself. In particular, the conventional binder tape is formed into an L-shape. Alignment is achieved since the inside corner of the L and the edge of the bundle of sheets of paper are in contact. The tape is dropped into a correspondingly shaped slot in the binder apparatus and the paper bundle is placed on top of the tape, the edge of the bundle being automatically aligned against the corner of the tape. The free end of the long leg is wrapped tightly around the paper bundle. In an alternative arrangement, a form is substituted for the bundle of paper, the form being covered with Teflon tape. Since the glue will not adhere to the Teflon, the form may be removed after binding leaving the covers and binding tape with glue inside the spine, thus allowing the user to make folders as desired.
