Abstract: Disclosed is a low profile lighting apparatus that is particularly advantageous for use as a backlight for illuminating a display. The lighting apparatus includes a waveguide coupled to a light source for injecting light into the waveguide. The waveguide includes a plurality of elongate structures for ejecting light propagating within the waveguide through a predetermined surface of the waveguide. Another embodiment of the waveguide includes a central region of reduced thickness that redirects light propagating within the waveguide. The lighting apparatus has a low profile so it is particularly useful in areas of limited space.

Abstract: A device for determining the level of nitric oxide in an exhaled airstream belonging to a living organism selected to have its lung function evaluated, where an initial device is arranged to determine the current portion of nitric oxide and/or the distribution of nitric oxide over time during an exhalation phase. During the commencing period of the exhalation phase, the exhaled air is arranged to pass with no or with only a very small resistance or back-pressure to a free space, and during the remaining period, the exhaled air is arranged to pass through the initial device against the action of a suitable resistance or back-pressure. The level of nitric oxide is measured during this remaining period.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de régulation destiné à une machine de fabrication, de remplissage et d'emballage de sacs horizontale ou verticale qui permet d'effectuer un scellage terminal lors du déplacement des boîtes. Ce procédé permet d'accroître le temps de scellage terminal autant que possible, même lorsque la partie linéaire de scellage terminal (distance de scellage d'une course prédéterminée) est constante. Cette machine va former un tube d'emballage (H) en scellant les deux bords d'un film d'emballage. Le tube d'emballage est abaissé par un dispositif d'alimentation en film (4), après quoi on scelle horizontalement et en deux rangées le bord supérieur du contenu mis dans le tube (H) ainsi que le bord inférieur du contenu suivant. On coupe ensuite la partie d'espacement à l'aide d'un appareil (5) de scellage terminal (transversal)/coupe lors du déplacement des boîtes. Un servomoteur assurant le déplacement des boîtes est commandé de manière à augmenter relativement le temps de scellage lors d'un cycle d'une durée prédéterminée et par rapport à la distance de scellage d'une course prédéterminée. En d'autres termes, le temps peut être augmenté autant que possible en faisant se déplacer lentement une partie linéaire (b) lors du déplacement des boîtes (a), tandis que la partie retour (c) se déplace relativement rapidement.

Abstract: In wrapping palletized loads with stretchable film having an elastic memory, when the wrapping is about completed, a distancing device is placed close to the wrapped load on which the last wrapping turn rests, so that a pocket is formed in the turn. The carriage of the wrapping machine is stopped in a predetermined angular position and the film tail is aligned and placed in a main clamp and a secondary clamp. Subsequently, a cutting device cuts the film between the two clamps, and the main clamp holding the leading end coming from the wrapping machine carriage moves backward at rest. The other clamp holding the tail end is introduced into the pocket and then opens and is drawn out from the pocket together with the distancing device , so that the wrapping tail gets caught and blocked by friction in the last turn which shrinks flat.

Abstract: A metering cylinder (11) has a piston (18) to pump fluid from a container to an output channel (2) in a delivery cannula. (11) is connected to a valve block (7) which connects with a suction valve system (22) for drawing fluid into the cylinder and an outflow valve (30) for conveying fluid out of the cylinder into (2). (7) is injection molded in one piece with (11) in a plastic with high chemical resistance.  The output valve (30) has a plastic valve seat (33) between the valve block (7) and the ball (32) of the output valve. The valve seat acts in conjunction with valve balls (23,32) of the suction (22) and/or outflow valves. Suction valve ball travel is limited by a sleeve (27) in the valve block (7). A delivery nozzle mounted on the free end of the cannula body (1) has an outlet nozzle with an outlet angled relative to the output channel (2). Swiveling of the nozzle around the cannula axis allows fluid to flow back to the container via a return channel (3) running adjacent to the latter in the cannula. The valve block may have a skeletal construction comprising spaced ribs. Cannula mounting on the valve block is in the region of the outflow valve (30). Connection between the valve block and a fluid container is via a nut (34). Cannula and valve block are joined by press fitting the former into a recess in the latter. The metering cylinder and valve block may be an integral unit or the cylinder can be screwed into the valve block. The cylinder may form an insert which is located, in an external jacket (16) and is preferably injection molded into the latter. Cannula, valve block and metering cylinder may also be injection molded as a single item.  Independent claims are included for: (a) a cannula for a fluid dispenser with an output channel and a return channel which can be connected near the outlet end to allow fluid to be transferred from one to the other;  (b) an injection molding tool comprising two or more parts forming a cavity for molding a valve block and metering cylinder as a one piece unit in a thermoplastic plastic; and (c) a process for manufacturing a fluid dispenser with a one piece valve block and metering cylinder in a chemically resistant plastic.

Abstract: In a fiber-optical strain-gauge of the kind comprising a mechanical construction providing a linear, strain-dependent relative movement of oppositely positioned spaced-apart first and second optical fiber-holding elements in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the optical fibers, and in which the varying transmission of light between the two fibers is used as an indication of the strain, the main new feature is that the strain-gauge is manufactured using the following steps: a) prestressing an optical fibre by applying a pulling force, or prestressing the mechanical construction by applying a compressing force; b) fixing said optical fiber to the fiber-holding elements in the mechanical construction; and c) cleaving the optical fiber at the interspace between the fiber-holding elements. With this arrangement the optical fiber ends are aligned in an exact position in a simple manner without using any expensive micro-manipulation tools, and a high precision of the gap between the two fiber ends can be provided in a simple manner by controlling the prestressing of the optical fiber, or the mechanical construction.
