Title: Alarm system for detecting hazards due to power transmission lines
Inventor: SACKS H KENNETH
IPC: B60P1/00
Filed: 2000-10-03
Abstract: An alarm system for detecting and warning of the risk of shock and electrocution is provided. The alarm system is adapted for use with mobile construction equipment, e.g., cranes, trucks, etc., that can be used around overhead power transmission lines. The present alarm system has a sensor that detects the presence of outside power at the equipment where current is flowing therethrough to ground. The sensor preferably includes a conductor and an inductive sensor such as a current transformer which limits the output signal on its low side that is sent to an alarm unit. In this manner, the system herein continues to properly function despite the presence of large voltages at the equipment such as when the equipment contacts a high voltage power transmission line. The sensor can include a cable that provides a path of least resistance for current flowing through the equipment which can be detected by the sensor.      Preferably, the cable is attached across a moving joint of the equipment where potential differences readily can oe found. Alternatively, the conductor can be a portion of the equipment itself through which current flows with the sensor detecting the flow through the equipment portion.

Abstract: A method of making a metal-free strap fastener for articles of clothing including brassieres, lingerie and corsetry. The method comprises the steps of: molding onto a first elongated knit web of a thermoplastic yarn, a succession of eyelets to form a female-fastener strip, enfolding the female-fastener strip in a second elongated web of a thermoplastic yarn so that edge portions of the second web overlie one face of the female-fastener strip alongside the succession of eyelets and another portion of the second web covers the other face of the female-fastener strip. Then the edge portions to the female-fastener strip and the female-fastener strip are ultrasoncially joined to the other portion of the second web at longitudinally spaced-apart intervals along the female-fastener strip at which the eyelets are located to form a fastener band. Finally, successive lengths are ultrasonically severed from the band, each of the lengths including at least one of the eyelets whereby the lengths can be affixed to a garment for engagement of a male fastener in the respective eyelet to secure the garment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a highly flexible electrically conductive layer material containing non-metal powder, especially carbon, as conductive component and to a method for the production thereof. Low-specific electrica l resistance, high mechanical stability and flexibility can be obtained while using cost-effective materials and a simple production method. According to the invention, the layer material is characterized in that the contact point s between the conductive non-metal particles are well defined and in that coatings of binding polymers are avoided. This is achieved in that the conta ct points are formed before adding the essential binder by pressing or rolling.  The binder is added subsequently in the form of a liquid, hardenable plastic  material that fills in part of fully the pores of the layer material. In ord er to improve mechanical properties, the layer material may contain fibers, e.g . carbon fibers. The layer material can be used for shielding against electromagnetic interferences, as mechanical reinforcement for gas diffusing  electrodes or as bipolar plates to separate reactants in electrochemical cel l stacks, especially PEM fuel cells.
