Abstract: A pneumatic couch includes an airtight envelope divided into a lower skin and an upper skin. The airtight envelope includes low-stretch material. The pneumatic couch also includes at least one valve for inflation with compressed air and deflation. Between the lower skin and the upper skin, a plurality of flexible webs are arranged running in vertical planes substantially parallel to each other. The flexible webs comprise low-stretch material and are joined over the entire length of the flexible webs both to the lower skin and to the upper skin. At an upper and a lower end of the couch, the airtight envelope overlaps the flexible webs and the lower skin and the upper skin are joined airtight. The airtight envelope overlaps an outermost web on a first and second long side and the lower skin and the upper skin are joined airtight. On one long side of the couch both the lower skin and the upper skin continue past the airtight joint, and are taken around a rear wall and joined to each other, and form a back part. The back part is substantially of the same length and shape as an adjacent web, and the rear wall is so constructed that the rear wall can be fastened onto a load bearing wall or to a suitable bearing construction. The couch thereby assumes the shape of a cantilever.

Abstract: The invention concerns a gliding board design with innovative skiing features. The gliding board design consists of two gliding board halves (1, 2) on which shoe-fastening devices are mounted. Both gliding board halves (1, 2) are connected pivotally via a linkage construction whereby a bearing is attached to each shoe-fastening device. A pole each is fitted into the bearings in relation to the longitudinal extension of the gliding board design and is extended underneath the shoe-fastening device, whereby the two gliding board halves (1, 2) can be pivoted in relation to the pole. A coupling device connects the poles (5, 6), which can be rotated, whereby each pole is kept at such a distance from the surface of the gliding board halves (1, 2) and the coupling device has been constructed in such a way that it prevents contact with the gliding board halves (1, 2) due to deflection or tilting while skiing.

Abstract: A ceramic honeycomb wall-flow filter is prepared by plugging channels in a ceramic honeycomb comprised of clay by a method comprising the following. First, a mixture comprised of a dispersing liquid and ceramic powder is formed. Second, the mixture is inserted into at least one channel of a green ceramic honeycomb that is comprised of a clay to form a plugged green ceramic honeycomb wherein the dispersing liquid essentially fails to swell the clay. Alternatively, the mixture is inserted into a calcined ceramic honeycomb to form a plugged calcined ceramic honeycomb. Finally, the plugged green or calcined ceramic honeycomb is heated to a temperature sufficient to sinter the plugged green ceramic honeycomb to form a porous sintered plugged ceramic honeycomb. The method is particularly useful for simultaneously making the plugs and discriminating layers in the channels. The outlet plugs on have the same composition as the discriminating layer and preferably have a different composition from the inlet plugs.
