Abstract: The model elementary flexor is a polyhedral panel represented by a four-angle star-like pyramid which is formed by thin elastic three-angle faces with hinge junctions. It has two symmetry planes which intersect the petals of flexor. An essential geometric property of the flexor is following: when the middle polyhedron is projected into the plane of the boundary, then each face is mapped to a triangle whose doubled intrinsic and extrinsic angles adjacent to the boundary are equal to .tau.r/2-.alpha. .tau.a .pi./2+.alpha. respectively, where .alpha. is the third angle of the three-angle and it belongs to the interval (0, .tau.r/2). As consequence, the presented device is more general than its prototype, the right star-like pyramid "Model ideal flexor", disclosed in UA Patent No. 54692. The invented device belongs to various areas of technique and industry where polyhedral shells with freely changed geometric forms are applied: architecture, aircraft construction, shipbuilding and precise instrument-making.

Title: Outsole with tangential deformability
Inventor: BRAUNSCHWEILER HANS GEORG
IPC: A43B13/26
Filed: 2006-02-23
Abstract: The invention relates to an outsole (1), especially for sports shoes (2), that can be formed with a large amount of elastic deformability even in the tangential direction towards the front and the back, enabling a good cushioning effect even when the tread of the foot is inclined and somewhat slipping. Beyond at least one critical deformation in the deformed region, the sole remains however essentially rigid in relation to tangential deformation.  In this way, the runner has a secure footing on the respective tread point.  The runner can then push off from the tread point without losing ground. A  swimming effect on the sole is thus prevented. According to the invention, the elastic deformability of the sole also in the tangential direction is caused by at least one first element (3a), and the cited rigidity of the sole in relation to tangential deformation beyond said at least one critical deformation, in addition to the degree of the at least one critical deformation in the deformed region is due to at least one second element (3b).  So that said first and second elements (3a, 3b) can be independently designed, dimensioned and produced, there are extensive structuring, formation and variation possibilities. Certain areas in the heel and/or the ball region of the sole can be varied by the at least one first element (3a), and certain areas by the at least one second element (3b), in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to silo scales which comprise at least three tubular supports (5), especially for retrofitting existing silos (1) and for determining the filling level of such silos. The invention is based on the principle that a tubular support is exposed to a reversible elongation of its diameter by an axial force. For this purpose, every support (5) is provided with a longitudinal slot (6) that extends in parallel to its axis and with a hole (8) that extends at an angle to the plane of the longitudinal slot (6) and through the diameter of the support (5). A connecting rod (9) extends through the hole (8) and is secured by a nut (15) on one end. It is non-positively fastened on the other end in a measuring cell (10) that rests against the exterior of the support (5). The measuring cell is enclosed by a measuring cell housing (7). The weight of the silo (1) reversibly expands the slot (6) to a degree that is substantially proportional to the weight, thereby exerting a corresponding force on the connecting rod (9), which force is transmitted to the measuring cell (10) and measured. A cable (11) is used for power supply and signal connection.
