Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing implant parts made of highly cross-linked polyethylene, wherein a blank made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is irradiated with ionizing radiation in order to produce radicals in the blank. To optimize the cross-linkage of the highly cross-linked polyethylene and to eliminate free radicals, the blank is subsequently treated by means of microwave radiation and/or ultrasound in such a way that free radicals, which have not recombined, are excited so as to ensure substantially complete recombination of the free radicals. The shape of the treated blank can then be adjusted by means of machining. The invention further relates to implant parts for application in human medicine that have been manufactured as described above.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un système de commande servant à commander la quantité de travail effectuée sur un sol par un outil (18) de travail associé à une machine (10) d'entretien des sols telle qu'une polisseuse. Dans un mode de réalisation, un régulateur de tension régule la tension qui alimente l'ensemble moteur (16) qui actionne l'outil de travail. Un capteur (50) de courant surveille le courant du moteur produit par l'ensemble moteur et envoie un signal correspondant à ce courant à une unité (60) de commande. Cette unité de commande reçoit également comme entrée un signal de sélection de travail correspondant au niveau souhaité de quantité de travail. Sur la base du signal de sélection de travail et du courant de moteur capté, l'unité de commande envoie un signal de commande à un actionneur (20). Selon le signal de commande, l'actionneur soulève ou abaisse l'outil (18) de travail par rapport au sol (24) en fonction de la quantité de travail devant être apportée à la surface. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le régulateur de tension est supprimé, et l'unité de commande est conçue pour générer le signal de commande sur la base du produit du courant de moteur et de la tension fournie à l'ensemble moteur.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing and producing a surface of a material with a reproducible degree of lustre and to a press for carrying out said method. The aim of the invention is to increase the stability of the press. To achieve this, a press is provided with a coating that consists of carbon with diamond-like layers and that adheres to the surface of the press. Said coating has a layer thickness of between 0.1 and 10 mum and a surface hardness in excess of 1800 HV (Vickers). The attrition of the surface of the press is thus significantly reduced during the processing of abrasion-resistant materials.

Abstract: According to the invention, the sensors of a banknote processing device are function tested, adjusted and/or calibrated using testing media that have specific characteristics for testing, adjusting and/or calibrating individual or several sensors. Said specific characteristics can only be recognized and differentiated by the banknote processing device by means of a machine readable identification. For each identification, information regarding which characteristic of which sensor is to be checked, adjusted and/or calibrated on the basis of the testing medium is stored in the valuable document processing device. Furthermore, the sensor measured values concretely determined during test runs are compared with sensor measured values that were determined in prior test runs and/or during initial operation of the banknote processing device in order to determine a trend in the properties of the sensor and to timely exchange said sensor.

Abstract: A single-handedly operated citrus fruit segmenter having first and second arms such that squeezing the arms into a closed position causes a curved movable scoop to extend into a citrus fruit proximate to a triangular blade and form a segment-shaped compartment. The actuation of the curved movable scoop occurs by a user squeezing the first arm toward the second arm. A pin on the first arm is operatively connected to an elongated slot of a cam mechanism such that the rotation of the first arm about its pivot location causes the cam mechanism to rotate about its own pivot location. Therefore, the cam mechanism, being also connected to the curved movable scoop, forces the curved movable scoop into the citrus fruit.

Abstract: The shuttle reservoir has a collecting (2A) and a deploying (2B) form. It is repeatedly lowered to the seabed (7) in its collecting form, where it connects to an evacuation device (6) in the hull (6) of the damaged vessel and is filled and sealed shut. Integral floatation devices lift it to a surface vessel in its deployed form, where it is emptied or stored for transportation to shore : The evacuation device (6) contains a pipe and a first valve acting with an opening in the hull and/or the vessel to recover the effluents by lifting them into the evacuation device. The shuttle reservoir has at least one main internal orifice (5) which works with the evacuation device. These steps are repeated with the same shuttle reservoir until the required amount of effluent has been recovered. The shuttle reservoir has a rigid dome with an open circular base, preferably with a shell shape in vertical section, a rigid circular base and a flexible side wall which can be folded up into the filling position and unfolding as it fills to the deployed shape. The floatation elements are integral inside the dome and are preferably a syntactic mousse. The centre of buoyancy is above the apparent centre of gravity in the water. The reservoir can be moved by floating it into a submersible bridge vessel without having to lift it. The shuttle reservoir is held near the sunken vessel by an anchor cable to the seabed and a second anchor cable to the vessel. The reservoir is automatically decoupled from the sunken vessel before it rises to the surface when traction is applied matching the Archimedes force of the reservoir and its load, transmitted by the anchor cable to detach it from the vessel or break the cable at a threshold value. The speed with which the reservoir rises is controlled by a weighted cable or chain from the surface to the base of the reservoir.

Abstract: The device is applied to mechanical brakes (4) applied by means of an elastic element and released by means of a pressurised fluid introduced into a chamber (4c) of a single-acting cylinder which contrast an action of the elastic element. The device comprises a two-position three-way valve (7) which in a first position thereof connects the chamber (4c) with a fluid conduit (S) and in a second position thereof connects the chamber (4c) directly with a discharge. By means of pilot pressures obtained from various points in the hydraulic circuit and from an elastically deformable closed chamber (6), the valve (7) is piloted into the first position, which during a load raising movement enables fluid to be sent to the brake, and therefore a release of the brake. In this way undesired brake release manoeuvres are prevented, which manoeuvres might otherwise lead to movements of the winch leading to undesired descent of the load. <IMAGE>
