Abstract: A non-invasive method and apparatus are provided for treating orthostatic hypotension and for reducing the effects caused there from. An increase in blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities is achieved by vibrating the lower body of the individual at a frequency in the range of 10-120 Hz. The apparatus includes a strap for being secured to a body part of the individual's lower extremities, e.g., the sole of one's foot, and a displacement sensor which senses any movement of the body part. The displacement sensor continuously sends signals to a processor of the apparatus which indicate whether there was any movement of the body part. If the displacement sensor did not sense any substantial movement of the body part for a predetermined period of time the processor sends a signal to a vibrating mechanism. The signal activates the vibrating mechanism causing vibration of the body part for increasing blood and fluid flow in the lower extremities. The vibrating mechanism causes vibration for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: In order to prevent toner leaks from both sides of a developing roller disposed within a case accommodating polymerized toner, side seals each having a Teflon ®  felt member on its surface are provided to make sliding contact with a surface of the developing roller. In addition, "Hanarl FL-Z75" manufactured by Kanto Kasei Ltd., is used as a lubricating agent for the Teflon ®  felt members to make them more lublicative.

Abstract: A singulating conveyor (20) for aligning a mass of conveyed articles into a single file. The conveyor (20) includes a first centering conveying zone (92) in which one or more roller-top conveyor mats direct conveyed articles sidewise toward a side or the center of the zone. The rollers (38) on which the articles ride rotate about axes (50,51) oblique to the conveying direction to provide a sidewise component of motion to the articles. The articles are received downstream in a second separation zone (94), in which the articles are sped up in the conveying direction to separate them into a single file. The conveyor mats can be realized as endless conveyor belts in motion or as stationary mats overlying a moving belt contacting and rotating the rollers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de mesure interférométrique conçu pour détecter la forme, la rugosité ou la distance de la surface d'un objet mesuré (8). Ce dispositif comprend un interféromètre à modulation (2) dans lequel est introduit un faisceau à cohérence brève provenant d'une source de rayonnement (1) et comporte un premier séparateur de faisceau (2.3) destiné à diviser le faisceau introduit en un premier faisceau partiel (2.1) guidé par une première branche et en un second faisceau partiel (2.1') guidé par une seconde branche. Un de ces faisceaux partiels présente une phase lumineuse ou fréquence lumineuse qui est décalée par rapport à celle de l'autre desdits faisceaux partiels sous l'action d'un dispositif de modulation (2.2, 2.2') et parcourt une ligne de retard (2.9'). Ces deux faisceaux partiels sont ensuite réunis au niveau d'un autre séparateur de faisceau (2.10) dudit interféromètre à modulation (2). Ledit dispositif de mesure interférométrique comprend également une sonde de mesure (3) qui est séparée spatialement de l'interféromètre à modulation (2) et qui est couplée ou peut être couplée avec ce dernier par l'intermédiaire d'un ensemble guide d'ondes à fibre optique (6). Dans cette sonde de mesure, lesdits faisceaux partiels réunis sont divisés au sein d'une branche commune se trouvant dans une zone partiellement transparente (3.3) en un faisceau de mesure et en un faisceau de référence, et ledit faisceau de mesure (r1(t)) qui est réfléchi par la surface ainsi que ledit faisceau de référence (r2(t)) qui est réfléchi par le plan de référence sont superposés. Le dispositif de mesure interférométrique selon l'invention comporte par ailleurs un dispositif de réception (4) ainsi qu'une unité d'évaluation (5) conçue pour convertir le faisceau reçu en signaux électriques et pour évaluer ces signaux en fonction d'une différence de phase. L'objectif de cette invention est de créer un dispositif de mesure interférométrique qui présente une structure avantageuse et permet d'effectuer des mesures fiables, même dans des espaces creux étroits. A cet effet, ladite zone partiellement transparente (3.3) est formée d'une surface de sortie (3.31) d'une fibre de sonde (3.1), qui est inclinée d'un angle de sortie (α) par rapport à l'axe de sonde optique (3.5) ainsi que d'une surface d'entrée (3.32) d'une section de fibre (3.2) suivante située côté objet, qui est inclinée d'un angle d'entrée (β) également par rapport à l'axe de sonde optique (3.5), un interstice cunéiforme étant formé entre cette surface de sortie (3.31) et cette surface d'entrée (3.32).

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention concerns a method of compacting soil which involves the steps of repeatedly raising a mass (28) above the soil surface and then dropping it to apply impacts to the soil surface. Indications of one or more instantaneous properties of the soil are periodically derived from the impacts on the soil surface. In accordance with these indications, the number of subsequent impacts and/or the energy imparted to the soil at each impact and/or the frequency of the impacts is or are controlled automatically by a controller typically in the form of a PLC in order to achieve in the soil one or more predetermined properties. In another aspect the invention concerns a soil compaction apparatus (10) that includes a drop mass soil compactor having a mass (28) and means (30) for repeatedly linearly raising the mass above the soil surface and then dropping it to apply impacts to the soil surface. The apparatus also has a monitoring means (42) arranged to provide periodic indications of one or more instantaneous properties of the soil; and the abovementioned control means (44). Still further invention concerns a method and apparatus for measuring instantaneous soil properties on a site.
