Abstract: There is disclosed a device and associated method for impeding the motion of a land vehicle (56, 200) travelling along a pathway on a terrain surface. First and second supports (14, 16, 114A, 114B) are positioned at first and second sides of the pathway, respectively, each capable of being actuated from a compressed condition to an extended condition. A propulsion system is effective to actuate the supports. A barrier (20, 120) extends between the supports at a mean first height that is effective to permit passage of a vehicle when the supports are compressed and supported by each support at a mean second height effective to impede passage of the vehicle when the supports are extended. When the supports are compressed, vehicles pass over the barrier unimpeded. When the supports are extended, the barrier impedes the motion of a vehicle travelling along the pathway. At least one deceleration cable (22, 122A, 122B) mechanically couples the barrier to a brake system.

Title: Method for producing aqueous protective colloid-stabilised vinylester homo- and copolymer dispersions
Inventor: SCHILLING BERND
IPC: C08L31/02
Filed: 1998-09-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing aqueous protective colloid-stabilised vinylester homo- and copolymer dispersions with a defined solids content, by emulsion polymerisation in the presence of a protective colloid. The inventive method is characterised in that a dispersion with a solids content lower than the defined solids content is produced and then thickened to the defined solids content after the polymerisation has been completed. The dispersion is thickened by adding a polymer powder which is of the same polymer composition as the emulsion polymerizate and which can be redispersed in water.

Abstract: Once a missile, a shell or a rocket is propelled from a launching device, a tension can be induced in an induction device of the missile by using a device for generating a magnetic field. Said tension can be used to regulate and set off the igniter and optionally to control the missile. According to prior art, the magnetic field is generated in the launching device using induction coils, which use up a lot of electrical power. Since the device is generally mounted in the area of the mouth of the launching device, the latter is exposed to shocks and corrosive burning gases, having a negative effect on the contacts of the electrical connections. According to the invention, at least one permanent magnet (5) is mounted in the area of the mouth (2) of the launching device (1) to generate a magnetic field (9).

Abstract: In case of a lung failure a device for blood oxygenation has to be used. Up to date a short time after the treatment has been started plasma protein penetrated through the membrane and mixed with the gas causing a complete breakdown of the system. The new method uses two circulatory systems, the blood circulation system (2) and a perfluorocarbon system (5) pumped (3) through a hydrophilic membrane (44). The perfluorocarbon flows through the gas container (6) and is mixed with oxygen releasing carbon dioxide at the contact surface. No proteins from the plasma enter the system even during a long term treatment.

Abstract: Apparatus for developing synchronization of an intermediate layer of signal such
as the transport or multiplex layer of a multi-layered compressed video signal,
includes at the encoding end of the system apparatus (13,23,25) for including a
time stamp reference, such as a count value from a modulo K counter (23), and
provision for a differential time stamp which may be updated by the transit times of
respective (e.g., multiplexing) circuits as the signal transits such circuits. At the
receiving end of the system a counter (27) is responsive to a controlled receiver
clock signal and the count value of this counter is sampled at the arrival of the
time stamps embedded in the transport layer. The time stamps and the differential
time stamps are retrieved from the signal and combined to form a corrected time
stamp. The differences of successive sampled count values of the receiver
counter are compared with the differences of corresponding successive corrected
time stamps to provide a signal to control the receiver clock signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multipurpose body-turn-over apparatus mainly
including an elevator, a driving mechanism, ropes, a net,
suspension fittings, a vibrator, and a controller. The
controller sets operating time and speed, and time pause at
reverse of the apparatus, and the elevator is adjustable in

from two ends of the driven assembly to connect the net are
alternately pulled up and lowered, helping a patient lying
on the net to regularly turn over or lie on side to avoid
bedsore, or do rehabilitation exercises. The vibrator may

Abstract: Either a polyol or isocyanate component or both are metered into a mixing head(9) via a metering pump, and during the pausing period are recirculated. The prepressurizing pump(4), prior to the metering pump(6), continuously pumps more component than is required by the metering pump for a shot, the continuous flow being circulated through an intermediate chamber between the metering section and housing of the metering pump. An Independent claim is made for the process plant in which; a) the metering pump(6) is preceded by a continuously working prepressure pump(4); b) a branch line(14) from the feed line(3) to the metering pump runs into an intermediate chamber in the housing surrounding the metering part and then connects with the return line(11). Preferred Features: During metering periods a reduced quantity of component is pumped through the intermediate chamber compared with the pause periods between shots. Part of the component circulates past the metering pump in a by-pass line(13) which enters the feed line to the mixing head(9). During the pausing periods either all flow passes through the intermediate chamber or part flows through the by-pass line.

Abstract: An MP3 player and its data providing system are disclosed. A voice from a
microphone is convened into a digital audio signal by an A/D converter. An MP3 music
file and private information such as phone numbers or memos are downloaded from a
data providing apparatus such as a computer through an interface to the MP3 player. A
CODEC decodes the MP3 music file for reproduction, encodes the digital audio signal
into a voice data file by PCM or an ADPCM method, and decodes the encoded voice data
file. A D/A converter converts the decoded digital audio signal into an analog audio
signal for the reproduction of voice or music. The MP3 player uses an nonvolatile
memory for storing the encoded voice data file or the downloaded files from the
computer. The MP3 player has a key pad comprising various function keys with which a
user can direct an operation of the MP3 player, which is controlled by a microcomputer.
The files stored in the MP3 player can be also uploaded to the computer. Furthermore,
the MP3 player has various additional functions.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for the manufacture of gelatin which includes providing a collagen containing material and demineralizing the collagen containing material to produce ossein. The ossein is added to a water solution containing at least 4% sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and at least 3% sodium sulfate for a time sufficient to form a reacted slurry. The reacted slurry is heated to a temperature of at least 45 °C for a time sufficient to solubilize the ossein thereby producing a solution containing gelatin. The pH of the solution containing gelatin is raised to between 9.0 and 10.0. The pH of the solution containing gelatin is reduced with a sulfate salt of a divalent or trivalent metal to a neutral pH (between 7.0 and 8.0). The pH of the gelatin solution is then lowered to between 5.0 and 6.0 and a polymeric flocculant is added to the gelatin solution in an amount of less than 0.1% based on the dry weight of the gelatin to form a floc and the floc is removed. The resulting gelatin is filtered and desalted.

sensing circuit comparator is driven to be essentially equivalent to that of the reference
signal as established by the reference cell circuit path on the reference input of the
sensing circuit comparator. Once the address has been decoded, the additional load
circuitry is disabled so as to allow the sensing input of the comparator to transition to a
voltage representative of the logic state stored in the memory cell.
