Abstract: A female stimulation device comprising a resilient device body having a partially deformable tip portion, a flange and an intermediate side wall portion extending outwardly from the tip portion to the flange. In use, the tip portion is compressed to force air out of the device body and the flange is placed in contact with vaginal wall tissue so that the clitoris is encompassed by the device body. Release and restorative deformation of the tip portion causes a partial vacuum within the device body, which maintains the device in place and provides suction to the clitoris. The intermediate side wall portion is substantially non-deformable in response to deformation of the tip portion, as may be achieved with outwardly convex side walls, thereby preventing deleterious entrapment and compression of the clitoris. Pharmacologically active materials, such as vasoactive agents, substances, and medications, may be applied to the device for contact with the clitoris during use in order to further enhance female sexual function.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically monitoring the wear of a chain when in operation in a chain drive assembly. First and second markers are applied to the chain at a predetermined distance apart. A first sensor is disposed adjacent to the chain to coincide with the position of the first marker. A second sensor is disposed adjacent to the chain to coincide with the position of the second marker. The sensors generate signals in response to the detection of the markers. When the chain drive is operated the first and second sensors are initially triggered substantially simultaneously by said first and second markers respectively. After the chain extends through wear elongation is identified by detecting a time delay between the triggering of the first and second sensors by the respective markers. One of the sensors is then moved to a position where substantially simultaneous triggering of the sensors by the markers can be resumed. The distance the sensor has to be moved is measured to determine the elongation length of the chain. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing structures having a compact polyurethane (PUR) sealing layer, particularly for clear coat molding PUR in order to produce a transparent PUR sealing layer on a veneer composite. The structure is placed inside a molding tool inside of which, when closed, a gap exists between the surface of the structure to be coated and the mold inner wall opposite the surface. The components polyol and isocyanate of the compact PUR, optionally provided with additives, are injected via a mixing head and a runner into the molding tool holding the structure. The invention is characterized in that the supply of components is terminated when a predefined pressure P<SUB>ab </SUB>(shutoff pressure) in the supply of components and/or in the flow path of the PUR mixture has been reached. This ensures that regardless of fluctuations inside the cavity due to different volumes of the structures, this cavity is always completely filled, and the same pressure is always exerted upon the structure, particularly upon the veneer layer.

Abstract: A cleaning procedure for removing grease and oil from articles soiled with organic materials comprising using circulating cleaning fluid at least part of which is sterilized to limit living micro-organisms, is new. A cleaning procedure for removing grease and oil from articles soiled with organic materials comprises using a cleaning fluid of which at least part is circulated between a washing unit (1) in which it picks up organic materials from the articles being cleaned, and a treatment unit in which living micro-organisms biologically degrade the organic materials contained in the fluid. At least part of the fluid circulating in the cleaning installation is subjected to at least partial sterilization to limit or suppress the living micro-organisms present in the fluid. The Sterilizing system uses heat and/or radiation and/or UV rays and/or chemicals with a bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic action in a unit with at least one treatment chamber (2A) filled with a filtering material (2) which holds the living micro-organisms and contains nutrients for them that are preferably insoluble or only slightly soluble in the cleaning fluid. The first treatment chamber (2A) is linked to a second one (2B) which recuperates and stores the fluid from the first chamber and has a circuit to recirculate it back to the first chamber with a fluid recirculation circuit as well as a Sterilizing unit (12).

Abstract: In a two-dimensional optical storage (TwoDOS) arrangement, at certain places on the optical disc, calibration pits are placed, for instance in the lead-in and/or additionally sparsely in the data. The signal waveform resulting from the read out of the calibration bits is measured, and matrix multiplication is performed on these signals to obtain the linear interference coefficients. This can be done since the bit sequence is known (along all of the bit-rows of the 2D patterns). From these linear interference coefficients, the electric field distribution of the read-out spots at the pitholes can be reconstructed. This information can be used in at least two ways: The signal processing unit can use this as input for its settings, so it uses a measured response of the optical channel instead of an expected response.
