Title: Process for manufacturing a sole member for a ski, and ski with a sole member manufactured by this process
IPC: A63C5/044
Filed: 1989-05-05
Granted: 1992-06-24
Abstract: To manufacture a sole member for skis, a strip-shaped material is extruded from polyethylene powder with a mean molar mass (mean weight) in the region between 5.10<5> and 8.10<6>, which is mixed, if appropriate with low-molecular additives, such as oils, paraffins, lubricants, waterproofing agents and the like, using a special extrusion method, e.g. a so-called ram extrusion method. Even before the strip-shaped material is cooled, a flat material, consisting at least mainly of plastic, is laminated onto one of its surface sides, said material being provided on that side, on which it is to be connected to the polyethylene sole material, with a decorative layer, preferably a print which can then be recognised on the sole member through the transparent sole material. This composite material is then cut to the lengths of sole members. The material to be laminated on, which can consist of a nonwoven, e.g. a polyester nonwoven or of a thermoplastic film, such as a melt-extruded polyethylene film, additionally serves as a bonding aid for the sole material. <IMAGE>

IPC: G01K11/06
Filed: 1988-11-24
Granted: 1993-09-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the control of a possible warming of a fresh, deep-frozen or frozen product (1), above a predetermined temperature, and for the recording by an irreversible marking (7), outside said product, of such a possibility, the device comprising: a) an envelope (3) sealingly closed and wherein is contained an active substance (4) having its liquid-solid transition point at said predetermined temperature, said envelope (3) being made of a gas-tight and liquid-tight material and at least in part transparent in an area (14), said substance (4) being contained within said envelope in a solidified form, and b) a support (5) made of an absorbing material susceptible of being impregnated by the substance (4) and allowing the diffusion by capillarity of said substance when the latter is in its liquid form, said support being also enclosed within the envelope (3) so that it is placed in contact with the mass of said solid active substance (4) and is at least in part (15) visible through the transparent area (14) of the envelope. Such device is characterized in that, in its region (15) visible through said transparent zone (14) of the envelope (3), the support (5) comprises at least one inscription (7) having a colour similar to that of the support and in that the active substance (4) contains a material capable of irreversibly modifying the colour of one of the two elements formed by the inscription (7) and by the portion of the support (5) surrounding said inscription and, yet inappropriate to modify the colour of the other of said two elements so that when reaching the predetermined temperature, said active substance passes from its solid status to its liquid status and impregnates then the support (5), thereby definitely marking said support by contrast of colours about the inscription (7). Application particularly to the control of food and pharmaceutical products.

Abstract: A tensioning and recoil system (28) establishes and maintains a substantially constant force on an idler wheel (18) of an endless track assembly (20) for a tracked vehicle (10). The force applied to the idler wheel (18) tensions the endless track (24) and maintains a predetermined frictional force between the track (24) and a powered drive wheel (16). The system (28) also provides a recoil function for the idler wheel (18) during ingestion of foreign material between the track (24) and the idler and drive wheels (16, 18). The tensioning and recoil system (28) includes a recoil tube (50) which telescopes into a cylinder (36) and a single sealed and closed chamber (56) filled with a compressible gas. The subject tensioning and recoil system differs from conventional recoil systems in that it (28) incorporates a compressible gas spring in place of the large coil steel spring of the prior art, thereby requiring less space, less weight, and simplified assembly and disassembly.

Abstract: La présente invention décrit un spectromètre de masse à double focalisation, dans lequel les ions sont produits à partir d'un échantillon dans un plasma induit par micro-ondes ou couplé par induction (3). L'échantillon des ions est prélevé du plasma (3) par une ouverture ménagée dans un cône d'échantillonnage (19) et traverse un cône d'écumage (28) et plusieurs lentilles électrostatiques (30, 33) jusqu'à atteindre la fente d'entrée de l'analyseur de masse. Le cône d'échantillonnage (19) et le cône d'écumage (28) sont maintenus par une source d'alimentation (40) à un potentiel approximativement égal au potentiel d'accélération requis par l'analyseur de masse. On a découvert que le potentiel du plasma peut être maintenu à une valeur telle qu'une proportion substantielle des ions produits dans le plasma (3) présente des énergies se situant dans la bande passante des énergies de l'analyseur de masse, ce qui permet la réalisation d'un spectromètre de masse à haute résolution et à haute sensibilité particulièrement approprié pour l'analyse élémentaire d'échantillons de solides ou de liquides. Un tel spectromètre est capable de résoudre un grand nombre des interférences spectrales qui restreignent la capacité d'utilisation des spectromètres de masse à plasma à base quadripolaire traditionnels.

Abstract: A shut-off and/or control element for tapping liquid metal melt from a metallurgical vessel has an inner tube (2) secured on the vessel (5) and having at least one opening (14). A front edge (15) of a movable outer tube (3) encircles the inner tube (2). The outer tube (3) can be moved out of a closed position into an open position of the opening (14). In order to avoid the possibility of plugs of metal melt forming in openings (14) of the outer tube (3), the relative position of the opening (14) of the inner tube (2) and of the front edge (15) of the outer tube (3) is configured in such a way that, during the movement of the outer tube (3), the front edge (15) moves beyond the opening (14). Viewed in the direction (13) of the longitudinal axis, the front edge (15) is situated on one side of the opening (14) in the open position and on the opposite side of the opening (14) in the closed position.

Abstract: A dual-port DRAM in which a single serial latch is shared between two pairs of folded bit lines from two arrays of memory cells (10, 20). A first set of multiplexer devices (14, 24) selects one of the two pairs of folded bit lines from each of the arrays (10, 20), and a second set of multiplexer devices (16, 26) selectively couple one of the remaining folded bit line pairs to either the parallel port or the serial latch for access to the serial port. This arrangement greatly decreases the consumption of chip real estate. At the same time, it makes unlimited vertical scrolling possible through the use of a copy mode that can be carried out in two operating cycles, and facilitates masked writing, while at the same time reducing clocking complexity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A remote gas measuring apparatus and method utilizes the optical absorption line characteristics to determine an amount of gas of interest as may exist in an area under study. The remote gas measuring apparatus includes a source of electromagnetic radiation (12) that can be projected toward the area in question and a light collecting arrangement (14). The light signal received is coupled to a fast light switch modulator (10) which modulates the light signal to a first frequency. A second modulating arrangement (40) modulates the light signal to a second frequency and includes a birefringent etalon device (42) having a periodic spacing equal to the periodicity of the absorption lines of the gas of interest. The second modulating means is further effective such that, when an electric field (48) is applied thereto the transmission spectra associated with the light signal is shifted between spectra which coincide with the absorption lines and spectra which fall between the absorption lines. The light signal from the etalon device is then conditioned and input to a detector configuration (56) which distinguishes between the light signal at the first frequency and the light signal at the second frequency in order to determine at least a quantity of the gas of interest.
