Abstract: A device for the dialysis of a sample. The device embodies a hermetically sealed sample chamber formed by a gasket with dialysis membranes affixed to each side in substantially parallel relationship. The gasket is impermeable to the sample being dialyzed, but is penetrable and reusable such that a needle or the like can be inserted through the gasket into the chamber and then withdrawn without sample being permitted to leak. The gasket is of sufficient thickness to accommodate insertion of a needle. In a further embodiment, the device is fitted into a rigid housing containing windows exposing the dialysis membranes and further containing a channel parallel to the dialysis membranes for directing a needle into the gasket in a direction substantially perpendicular to the edge of the gasket so that the needle can access the chamber without contacting the surfaces of the membranes.

Abstract: The ski boot (1) comprises a sole (9) which is connected to the ski and a collar (4) pivoted on the heel (5) fixed to the sole, The axis (20) of the pivot (18) is situated in a longitudinal plane of the boot and oriented horizontally. The boot has asymmetric stops for limiting angular displacement of the collar. The collar has an internal lateral extension which fits in the lateral wall of the heel in order to limit outward angular displacement of the collar. This outward angular displacement of the collar is in a range between zero and 20 degrees. Zero displacement corresponds to the vertical position of the collar. Only the stops limit angular displacement of the collar towards the interior of the boot. The heel zone situated on the outside of the boot is higher than the zone situated on the interior side of the boot.

Abstract: A finished, or for mfr. of shaped parts, half-finished prod. (20) comprises a fabric mesh in which one thread (4) has been mfd. from a first and another (5) from a second material, at least the latter being thermoplastic. The second material has a softening temp. (second order transition point) lower than that of the first and when heated beyond a given temp. binds as one with the first material and itself. The two threads are distributed evenly over the sheet surface. Also claimed is a similar prod. but where the first thread is coated with a third material. When heated as before the second material binds as one with the coating and itself. Also claimed is a wall-covering made from the prod.. Pref. the second material has shape memory, i.e. after being heated then cooled it retains the shape it had during heating. The first material is non-organic, e.g. metal, ceramic or other inorganic compound and at least its threads are yarn, spun yarn, endless yarn, a monofil, doubled or twisted yarn and its fibres single or staple. The second material threads can be similarly chosen. The mesh is a knit which has plain stitches on both sides, purl on both sides or plain on one and purl on the other, each stitch being formed from a thread of the first and a thread of the second material. The knit has materials distributed randomly on each side or it is a plated knit, the first material appearing on one side and the second on the other. The knit is pre-stretched in at least one direction, pref. parallel with the stitch wales and fixed in its stretched state. Stitch sides have a length between 2 and 12, pref. 4 and 8, most pref. about 6 mm.

Abstract: The system has a device responsive to the reception of Doppler information signals producing sequences of Doppler estimation signals during intervals of Doppler signal acquisition. A device responsive to the signals produces signals for use in gaps between the Doppler estimation sequences. A device responsive to Doppler estimation signals preceding a gap derives a first sequence of gapfilling signals over an initial portion of the gap. A device responsive to Doppler estimation signals following the gap derives a second sequence of gapfilling signals over a concluding portion of the gap. A device responsive to the sequences of Doppler estimation signals and the intervening first and second sequences of gapfilling signals displays Doppler information.

Abstract: The cooling of two counter-rotating strip casting rolls, which tend to become oval as a result of unequal cooling of their circumferences and consists of a roll body (1) and a cylindrical shell (2), involves introducing cooling fluid through axial inlet channels (3) passing through radial channels (4) into longitudinal collector grooves (5) and then into circumferential cooling grooves next to the shell (2), through collector grooves (7) and radial channels (8) to reach the outlet channels (9), and leave the roll. By means of a pipe and three-way valve system, the flow direction of cooling fluid is periodically reversed so that the roles of the axial channels (3) and (9) are exchanged. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil pour actionner des engins de modification de la géographie tels qu'un tracteur à chenilles, une niveleuse, un paveur ou similaire par rapport au chantier pour modifier la géographie du site et obtenir une condition requise. Un premier modèle numérique (104) tridimensionnel de la géographie requise du site, et un deuxième modèle numérique (106) tridimensionnel de la géographie réelle du site sont mémorisés dans un dispositif de mémorisation (126) de données numériques. La machine (10) est équipée d'un récepteur de position pour déterminer dans l'espace tridimensionnel l'emplacement de la machine (10° par rapport au site (12). Une base de données dynamique (400) reçoit les informations relatives à la position de la machine, détermine la différence entre les premier et deuxième modèles de site (104, 106) et génère des signaux de représentation de cette différence pour diriger le fonctionnement de la machine et amener la géographie du site réelle à se conformer à la géographie requise du site. Dans une forme de réalisation, les signaux représentant la position de la machine et la différence entre les premier et deuxième modèles de site (104, 106) sont utilisés pour générer un affichage d'opérateur (108) qui est mis à jour en temps réel. Par ailleurs, les signaux représentant la différence entre les premier et deuxième modèles de site (104, 106) peuvent être automatiquement transmis aux commandes automatiques de la machine (128) pour assurer le fonctionnement autonome ou semi-autonome de la machine (10).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for inserting partitions into a group of articles is disclosed. The method includes combining articles, such as beverage containers, to form an article group of predetermined configuration, including longitudinal rows of articles. The article group is conveyed toward a divider deposed in the path of travel. The divider, which includes an angled end portion that acts as a cam, separates the article subgroup into article subgroups. Once the article subgroups are transversely separated to a predetermined extent, a partition inserter places a partition between the article subgroups. The two subgroups are then recombined to affix the partition between adjacent articles. The recombined article group, including a partition, is then moved through the packaging machine to the next process step or simultaneously inserted into cartons.

Abstract: A system for high speed acquisition and decoding of a barcode symbol locates potential barcode candidates within a scanned image and filters the candidates to eliminate invalid data. The system permits computational resources to be focused on decoding information most likely to be an actual barcode symbol. Once a potential barcode candidate has been located, the barcode symbol is processed to determine the barcode orientation and symbology. Each element of the barcode symbol is then located, even if all elements are not visible in the original image, and the barcode symbol is decoded in accordance with the specific symbology. <IMAGE>
