Abstract: A trap for trapping and killing of small animals, like rats and mice is described. It comprises a stand, a pivoting clamp means, journalled in the stand around a first axis, which clamp means can be strained against the action of a force means like a spring, and which can be released by a releasing means from a first, loaded position, when an animal acts upon the releasing means, so that the clamp means substantially immediately swings, acted upon by the force means, to a second position, where it hits and kills the animal. The clamp means, extending from the first axis, is provided with a first and a second arm. A first fastening point of said force means is provided at the end, that is turned from the first axis of the first arm, the second fastening point of the force means is provided at the stand.      The force line between the two fastening points of the force means runs through or in the vicinity of said first axis, so that the force means exerts no or just a minor torque in the direction towards the second position of the clamp means, when the clamp means is in its first position. The trap is primarily characterized in that the releasing means is journalled around the second axis in the stand, forming a first arm portion designed like a cap above a vessel for bait, and a second arm portion acting upon the first arm of the clamp means when the cap is lifted by the animal.

Abstract: Colored bicomponent filaments have a particulate colorant dispersed throughout one of the fiber domains while another of the fiber domains is colorant-free. More specifically, the filaments have at least two distinct components arranged longitudinally coextensive with one another. The arrangement of the components may be a sheath/core structure or a side-by-side structure. One of the components contains a colorant and the other one does not (i.e., is colorant free). The colorant-free component is most preferably formed of a polymeric material which is incompatible with the particulate colorant, whereas the colorant-containing component is most preferably formed of a polymeric material which is compatible with the particulate colorant.

Abstract: (54) Title: CONE CLAMPING SET (54) Bezeichnung: KONUSSPANNSATZ (57) Abstract The cone clamping set (100) is used, for example, to connect a shaft (1) to a hub (3) and is disposed in the radial intermediate space (5) between the cylindrical outer peripheral surface (2) of the shaft (1) and the cylindrical inner peripheral surface (4) of the hub (3). The cone clamping set comprises inner cone rings (11, 12) with a cylindrical inner peripheral surface and a conical outer peripheral surface (8', 8") and a thin-walled outer cone ring (10, 18', 18") with conical inner peripheral surfaces (7', 7") abutting the outer peripheral surfaces (8', 8") of the inner cone ring (11, 12), and with a cylindrical outer peripheral surface (6) for abutting the inner peripheral surface (4) of the hub (3). Distributed over the periphery are axial tightening screws (19) which draw the cone rings (11, 12) axially towards each other. Owing to a radial shoulder (24) or peripheral groove, the axial extension of the zone (21) of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface (6) of the outer cone ring (10) in which the radial clamping forces are transmitted to the inner periphery of the recess (4) in the hub (3) is less than the axial extension of the zone (35) in which the radial clamping forces act against the outer periphery (2) of the shaft (1), such that the surface pressure on the surfaces (4, 6) is increased.

Title: Extraction process and use of yellow mustard gum
Inventor: ZHANG XIAO YING
IPC: C08B37/00
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2003-10-14
Abstract: The present invention provides for optimal extraction conditions for extracting yellow mustard gum from yellow mustard bran to provide for high yield. The four variables examined were extraction temperature, pH, water:solid ratio and extraction time. Of these variables, temperature and pH had a much greater influence on the yield and rheological properties of the extracted gum compared to water/solid ratio and extraction time. Optimum extraction conditions were temperatures between 50-70°C, pH 7-10, water/solid ratio of 40:1 - 60:1 and extraction time of 2-2.5 hr. The yield of gum obtained under the optimum extraction conditions was 30% of bran weight. The extracted gum exhibited maximum shear thinning flow behaviours. It can be incorporated into cosmetic products and skin lotions.

Title: Three-dimensional measurement method and apparatus
Inventor: KNOPF GEORGE K
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1999-07-20
Granted: 2008-01-29
Abstract: The apparatus and method measure the three-dimensional surface shape of a surface without contact with the surface, and without any physical constraint on the device during measurement. The device is a range-sensor or scanner, and in one embodiment is a laser--camera sensor, which has a portable camera and multi-line light projector encased in a compact sensor head, and a computer. The apparatus provides three-dimensional coordinates in a single reference frame of points on the surface. The sensor head does not have to be physically attached to any mechanical positioning device such as a mechanical arm, rail, or translation or rotation stage, and its position in three-dimensional space does not have to be measured by any position-tracking sensor. This allows unrestricted motion of the sensor head during scanning, and therefore provides much greater access to surfaces which are immovable, or which have large dimensions or complex shape, and which are in confined spaces such as interior surfaces. It also permits measurement of a surface to be made by a continuous sweeping motion rather than in stages, and thus greatly simplifies the process of measurement. The apparatus can be hand-held, mounted on any moving device whose motion is unknown or not accurately known, or airborne. The apparatus and method also permit unknown and unmeasured movement of the object whose surface is to be measured, which may be simultaneous with the movement of the range-sensor head.
