Abstract: A ferrous object is attached to or embedded within an article of golf clothing so that it is subject to the force of magnetic attraction of a magnet in a ball marker. A magnetic ball marker according to the invention has a body that can be stamped, painted, machined, or otherwise provided with surface embellishments, such as tournament logos, golf course crests, corporate logos, and other visual indicia that are favored by golfers. Unlike conventional golf ball markers, however, a ball marker according to the invention is provided with a thin, flat, permanent magnet that is attached to or embedded within the body of the ball marker. When the ball marker is moved into the proximity of an article of golf clothing modified according to the invention by the incorporation of a ferrous object therein, the ball marker will be attracted to the ferrous object and will cling to the article of golf clothing until purposely removed therefrom. The invention has particular applicability to golf headgear, such a hats and visors. The ferrous objects employed may be configured as thin metal sheets, discs, wafers, or strips attached to or embedded within the bill or a golf hat or visor. The magnet ball marker of the invention is then simply placed in contact with or even in near proximity to the area of the hat at which the ferrous object has been permanently attached. The magnetic ball marker will thereupon cling to the article of golf clothing until removed therefrom for use. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The inventive device enables precious materials (such as crystal, sapphire, wood, stone, carbon, etc.) to be used in watchcase design without the need for highly sophisticated machining techniques. The set consists of an adornment (5) that surrounds the bezel of a traditionally designed watch (4). The adornment (5) is separated from the bezel (4) by elastic means (9) (10) that absorb shocks and avoid precise adjustment tolerances between the bezel (4) and the adornment (5), while at the same time guaranteeing full waterproofness. The invention makes it possible to cut production and assembly costs and offers various possibilities for decorating watchcases with original and new materials.

Abstract: The aim is to effectively remove the unpleasant raw odor that is characteristic of soybeans and provide a high quality processed soybean food product. In a production method for processed soybean food products that includes a grinding step (A) in which raw soybeans are ground to obtain a soybean slurry and a heating step (B) in which the obtained soybean slurry is heated and thermally denatured, a deaeration step (C) for removing air bubbles mixed in with the soybean slurry is performed partway through the heating step (B). It is preferable that the heating step (B) and the deaeration step (C) are performed continuously. These steps can be effectively performed using a soybean slurry thermal deaeration device 1 provided with a first heating apparatus 10 for raising the temperature of the soybean slurry to a predetermined intermediate temperature; a deaeration apparatus 20 for deaerating the soybean slurry once it has reached the intermediate temperature in the first heating apparatus 10; and a second heating apparatus 30 for completing the thermal denaturation by further heating the soybean slurry once it has been deaerated in the deaeration apparatus 20. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dosing device of an inhaler for administration of a pharmaceutical composition during a prolonged time period is disclosed. The principle of the inspiratory administration is basically utilizing known techniques for administering of the pharmaceutical composition, whereby the fine powder to be administered is gathered as extended doses (15, 16) of powder onto a surface of a dosing member. The disposable dosing member (10) contains a number of prefabricated dose strings to be accessed. A dosing element (7) having an adapted opening moves along an extended string of the dosing member during the administration to in this manner prolong the time period, during which the pharmaceutical composition is released from the dosing member (10) into an air-stream of the inhaler during the inspiration. The relative motion of the dosing element (7) is either obtained by rotating the dosing member itself or moving the dosing element along the surface of the dosing member. Thereby an evenly distributed amount of powder in the inspiration air is obtained during, for instance, one to two seconds of inspiration in accordance with the motion of the dosing element (7) relative to the extended dose of pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for achieving a hardware-independent stereoscopic representation for a monocular application comprising a driver and an additional unit that is provided between said application and driver. The unit provides stereoscopic images from a monocular image delivered by the application, by converting and processing, in an appropriate manner, calls that are delivered to it by the application. This conversion however, remains transparent both for the driver and for the application. The calls are converted either by the multiple transmission of a call to the driver, or by the modification of the parameter list of said call. The conversion is only made for the calls which are to be executed separately for the stereoscopic images. The calls whose unique execution in the driver have an effect on both images are merely forwarded by the additional unit to the driver. The stereoscopic images which were generated in an item of hardware by the execution of the calls provided by the additional unit are displayed to the observer, using an extended toggle function.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for joining the ends of two profile sections ( 5, 6 ) such as two sealing, trimming or finishing strips for use in motor vehicle body construction, is shown. The two profile sections ( 5, 6 ) are clamped in respective retaining devices ( 18, 20 ) and a length of heat-responsive foil-like material ( 24 ) is unwound from a roll ( 22 ) into a position between the facing ends of the profile sections. Heaters ( 26-32 ) carried by a heater unit ( 34 ) are then moved into position between the ends of the profile sections ( 5, 6 ) and the foil ( 24 ). The outermost heaters ( 26, 30 ) heat the ends of the profile sections, and the innermost heaters ( 28, 32 ) heat the foil. The heaters ( 26 to 32 ) are then withdrawn, and the two retaining devices ( 18, 20 ) are then moved towards each other so as to move the ends of the two profile sections into contact with opposite sides of the heated foil ( 24 ) which thus heat-bonds the ends of the profile sections together. The retaining devices ( 18, 20 ) are then opened to release the joined profile sections. The heaters ( 26 to 32 ) are non-contact type heaters to avoid contaminating the foil or the ends of the profile sections. The use of the separate heaters allows the foil ( 24 ) to be heated to a temperature which is different from that of the ends of the profile sections, to achieve optimum bonding.
