Abstract: At least one upward flow of the melt (10) is produced in the region between the center of the melter zone (3) and the front (19a) of the clarifier bank (19). Before reaching the melt surface (9) this flow branches into two, with one flow directed upstream into the melter zone and the other directed downstream into the clarifier zone (4). The downstream flow effectively prevents return of the melt from the clarifier zone into the melter zone. The claimed glass melting furnace is characterized by the presence of means (16, 17, 18) for production of an upward, subsequently branching melt flow near the front of the clarifier bank.

Abstract: The breaking distances of electronic switches (T) are parallel connected in relation to the light emitting diodes (LD) of a luminous signal, by means of which they are short circuited when no supply voltage (U=) is available. The interference voltage coupled to the light diodes approximately on the supply lines (L1, L2) cannot light the luminous diodes. Once the supply voltage for the light emitting diodes exceeds a given threshold value, the short circuits are eliminated and the light emitting diodes activated. The electronic switches are preferably embodied as self-conductive field effect transistors whose source gate distances are parallel connected to the series resistors that are series connected to the corresponding series resistors (R).

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. Accordingly, noise generated by the side seals sliding contact with the developing roller can be reduced. To prevent toner leaks from the sides of the developing roller, a film or resin stopper is disposed at a lower-end front edge of the case to stop the toner.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes an orifice ring adapted to carry blood therethrough. An annular recess is formed in an outer surface of the orifice ring and has first and second axially spaced walls. A sewing cuff is adapted to be coupled to a native tissue annulus of a heart and includes an inner annular cuff portion adapted to conform to the first and second recess walls in the orifice ring.

Abstract: A concrete building panel has a slab and a plurality of ribs and beams. A series of horizontal holes in the end ribs are spaced at a selected constant spacing such that adjacent panels may be fastened together through them. In one type of panel, the slab is separated from the ribs to provide an air gap. Connections between holes in two adjacent concrete wall panels are made by a hollow conduit having an abutment at either end to engage the concrete wall panels. Other connections between adjacent panels involve a stitch with legs which extend through holes in the beams. Other connections involve a space made by vertical channels of horizontally adjacent panels. A plate fitted into the space aligns the adjacent panels and may extend upwards to align upper panels. Load bearing horizontal holes through the ribs are reinforced with reinforcing bar in the concrete arranged in generally triangular shapes. The concrete panels are formed in a form with sub-forms aligned by rods which create horizontal holes of the desired size and placement when removed.
