Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transferring a film of adhesive, covering, or colored material from a backing tape onto a substrate, having a housing in which a supply reel and a take-up reel for the backing tape are rotatably mounted, and comprising an application member arranged on the housing around which the backing tape loops. The application member is mounted so as to be moveable between a retracted non-use position and a pushed forward use position in which the application member is biased towards the non-use position by elastic pull-back force. The device has an actuation member which is disposed such that it is accessible from outside and, when moved with manual actuating force, enables the application member to move into its use position in which it is pressed against the substrate to transfer the film. With a view to facilitating and improving handling, the application member automatically moves into its non-use position of its own accord when the pressure of the device against the substrate or the actuating force is reduced to a respective certain value.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method for assessing a subject's hearing by recording steady-state auditory evoked responses. The apparatus generates a steady-state auditory evoked potential stimulus, presents the stimulus to the subject, senses potentials while simultaneously presenting the stimulus and determines whether the sensed potentials contain responses to the stimulus. The stimulus may include an optimum vector combined amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal adjusted to evoke responses with increased amplitudes, an independent amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal and a signal whose envelope is modulated by an exponential modulation signal. The apparatus is also adapted to reduce noise in the sensed potentials by employing sample weighted averaging. The apparatus is also adapted to detect responses in the sensed potentials via the Phase weighted T-test or Phase zone technique. The apparatus may further perform a number of objective audiological tests including latency tests, AM/FM discrimination tests, rate sensitivity tests, aided hearing tests, depth sensitivity tests, supra-threshold tests and auditory threshold tests. The apparatus is further adapted to perform multi-modality testing in which more than one sensory modality of the subject is tested simultaneously.

Abstract: The cleaning fluid is introduced at the filter outlet at a feed pressure greater than atmospheric, and then further pressurized to a wetting pressure using a gas at a first pressure (P1) greater than atmospheric. During subsequent cycles a cleaning pressure is reached using a gas at a second pressure (P2) greater than (P1) to push the liquid and residues through the filter support to the inlet The filter support (21) has a porous structure, possibly connected to a catalyst, fixed into a metallic envelope (20). In operation, the filter is in the exhaust of a vehicle, such the exhaust gases pass through it from the inlet end (20b) to the outlet end (20a). Soot particles are trapped, at least some of which are burned (optionally catalysed) in the filter support under the effect of heating by the exhaust gases. The cleaning fluid and residues are recovered. The cleaning fluid is water and the gas at both (P1) and (P2) is compressed air. Water is introduced into the filter at 2 bars and the air at a first pressure of 1 bar and a second pressure of 2 bars. Each wetting and cleaning cycle includes a first phase of injecting water under pressure, a second phase of injecting air under pressure and a third phase of rest without injection of air or water. The wetting stage includes 5 successive cycles and the cleaning stage involves twenty-five successive cycles. After cleaning, the filter is pre-dried using air under pressure (P2) for four or five successive cycles. After the pre-drying, the filter is dried in a drying-oven.
