Le jouet peut prendre la forme d'un objet de jeu roulant par exemple, tel qu'une balle, ou d'un objet de jeu flottant, tel qu'un volant de badminton. Grâce à l'utilisation de moyens de génération de lumière le jouet peut également être utilisé au crépuscule et à la tombée de la nuit, le jeu étant ainsi considérablement plus distrayant. Selon un second aspect de l'invention, le jouet est muni de deux corps pivotants placés à une certaine distance à l'opposé l'un de l'autre et reliés par une partie pont servant d'axe de rotation, et une corde fixée amovible à la partie pont pour permettre la rotation des corps, dans lesquels les moyens permettant de rendre le jeu plus distrayant sont formés par des moyens permettant d'ajuster la distance entre les corps. En faisant varier la distance entre les corps le jouet peut être utilisé soit comme un yo-yo soit comme un diabolo, rendant ainsi le jeu plus amusant.

Abstract: The state of a polysilicon film formed by excimer laser annealing an amorphous
silicon film is to be evaluated. When the amorphous silicon film is annealed to form
a polysilicon film, linearity or periodicity presents itself in the spatial structure of the
film surface of the polysilicon film formed depending on the energy applied to the
amorphous silicon during annealing. This linearity or periodicity is processed as an
image and represented numerically from the image by exploiting the linearity or
periodicity. The state of the polysilicon film is checked based on the numerical
results.

Abstract: An industrial water softener has an inlet and aeration zone with a compressed air feed. Aerated water flows to a de-gassing zone where compressed air and water with dissolved CO2 move in the same direction. CO2 is surrendered to the air and discharged. Sludge flakes are precipitated in a sedimentation zone, the upper side of which is in contact with the de-gassing zone and the lower side with the aeration zone. A rest zone is located under the sedimentation zone for the separation and abstraction of sludge and treated water. Also claimed is a suitable assembly in which hard water may also bear an organic load. The water moves in a circuit from the aeration to de-gassing and sedimentation zones, and is subjected to suitable air pressure in the aeration zone. The gas employed has low CO2 content to promote CO2 uptake from the water and causing precipitation of calcium and magnesium carbonate at a pH of pref. 7.5. Absorbed CO2 is released with air. Organically laden water is treated within 24 hr, and water is softened within 60 min.
