Abstract: The ski control apparatus comprises a leg support assembly (22) extending upwardly from the lateral outside edge of the ski (24) for connection by use of a wrap-around cuff (42) to the skier's leg (14) at a position slightly below the knee (16). The leg support assembly (22) is laterally rigid to transmit lateral movements of the leg (14) directly to the outside edge of the ski (24) and the cuff (42) prevents inward twisting of the knee (16) during edging. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a bi-directional binding assembly (170, 172) incorporated into the leg support assembly (22) for use in lieu of a conventional boot binding mounted on the ski (12). In another embodiment, an adjustable cable (182) is connected between the cuff and the front tip (186) of the ski (12).

Abstract: Analytical photometer for the practically simultaneous determination of the presence of different substances in a certain number of discrete samples. The photometer (10) is equipped with a centrifugal type rotor (16), already known in the art, containing a large number of chambers with inlet holes (20, 22) for the sample/samples and reagents and with axially aligned transparent windows, thereby forming a system of rotating cuvettes (18). The rotor compartments (16) serve as receptacles for the solutions and are designed and dimensioned as already known in the art, such as to retain the liquid when said rotor (16) is at rest and to transfer said liquid into the cuvettes (18) when the rotor (16) rotates. A single or multiple light source (L) is provided, which is transmitted in a novel manner through a system of suitable means, in particular, optical fibres (30-35) to various photodetector units (60 to 65), suitably aligned with the transparent windows of the cuvettes (18) by means of the same number of interference filters (50 to 55) and appropriate holes (40 to 45) situated in the base (15) of the rotor (16). Thus it is possible to determine for the first time, concentrations of chemical solutions through the absorbance in the sample/samples plus reagent/reagents contained in the cuvettes (18) at various wave lengths, with wave energy being delivered from source (L). 
<??>Hence it is possible to examine more than one cuvette (18) almost simultaneously and singly, each one for a different analytical parameter, and consequently to examine the transmittance and/or absorbance of the samples contained in the cuvettes at optimum wave length.

Abstract: A phase responsive video parameter control system operative for correcting hue, saturation, and luminance of a phase encoded component of a composite video signal. A digital phase detector detects the instantaneous hue of the video image, and provides a signal which selects which one of a plurality of color intervals or bands the detected instantaneous hue falls in. Prestored digital correction values associated with the selected color interval are retrieved from memory and converted into'analog correction signals which modify the phase, amplitude, and DC level of the composite video signal. New digital correction values, which reflect operator control panel adjustments, may be loaded into memory during the vertical retrace interval, thereby allowing frame-by-frame color correction.

Abstract: A compensation device for the influence of the weight of a power feed line on a weight measurement device determining the weight of an electrode and/or the melting rate in an electro-slag remelting process, in a vacuum arc furnace or the like. When an x-y device is adjusted, a weight jump occurs due to the forces of the power cable or the forces of the bellows, which has a disturbing effect on the rate definition. This weight jump can be prevented by means of mechanical devices, or can be made so small that it no longer constitutes a disturbance. However, the expenditure for this is disproportionately high. The invention is more cost efficient, since hardware or software means suffice. The weight function G=f(t) is extrapolated and compared with the actually measured weight G'=f(t). The magnitude of the difference between the two is stored and later added as a correction value.
