Patent EP-0998734-A1 (EP)
Inventor: RYAN JOSEPH M JR
IPC: G09F3/03
Filed: 1998-05-07
Abstract: An inventory of goods (10) is protected from theft by affixing to at least some of the items of the inventory an electronic article surveillance marker (12). An indicia (14, 14-1--14-14) which indicates the presence of the marker is also applied to the items of the inventory. In some cases, the indicia (14-13) may be applied to goods to deter theft thereof even though no EAS marker is present on the goods. The indicia may include a code (115) that indicates to store personnel that no EAS marker is in fact present. When a marker is present, the indicia may provide guidance (14-6--14-10, 20, 20-1) as to how to activate or deactivate the marker. Information (14-8--14-10) as to what kind of marker is affixed may also be included in the indicia.

Abstract: The invention relates to an endoprosthesis (11h) for a joint, in which the two cooperating parts (15h, 16h) of the joint are connected by a cord-like connecting piece (21h) which is fastened near the body axis (M2h, M2') of the convex articular head (15h), and extends along an oblong groove in the direction of flexion of the joint. The connecting piece guarantees a certain play (31h) between the two contact surfaces (19h, h', 20h, h') of the joint (11h). A projection (50h, 43h) in the concave joint part (16h) protects the connecting piece from friction at the groove wall (55h, 55h'). A projection (43h, 50h) in the concave joint part (16h) and a cavity (49h) in the convex joint part (15h) cooperate in such a way that the play of lateral motion between the cavity and the projection determines the freedom of motion of the lateral flexion of the joint. In an advantageous version of the invention, spherical surfaces guarantee that, when pressure is applied, at least one pair of corresponding sliding surfaces (19h, 20h; 19h', 20h') rest against each other on the two joint heads, in all positions of the joint.

Abstract: Ce procédé de modification du profil aromatique de produits à base de tomate comprend les étapes consistant: a) à ajouter une enzyme possédant une activité d'alcool-déshydrogénase à une pluralité de tomates, b) à ajouter à celles-ci soit un cofacteur d'alcool-déshydrogénase, soit un donneur d'électron, et c) à faire incuber ces tomates. Les composés volatils aromatiques tels que les aldéhydes C6 sont alors réduits pour donner des alcools C6, ce qui a pour effet de changer les propriétés organoleptiques des tomates. Dans une variante du procédé, les alcools C6 sont oxydés pour donner des aldéhydes C6, par répétition des étapes (a) à (c) du procédé, mais avec le remplacement du donneur d'électrons par un accepteur d'électrons.

Abstract: The bob system for alternating pumps comprises a pyramidal tower (8) (fig. 1)
with a truncated summit (5 and 6) (fig. 1) wherein a single acting hydraulic cylinder
(2) (fig. 1) can rest, which are installed at the vertical of a water or oil well (16) (fig.
1). The piston (3) (fig. 1) of the hydraulic cylinder (2) (fig. 2) has a prolongation with
holes (19) (fig. 2) which, during its down stroke, is introduced inside the support tube
thereby producing a choking effect and forcing the oil to pass through the holes and
slowing down gently the rod (10) (fig. 2) at the end of its down stroke. In the up stroke
of the rod (10) (fig. 2) the contrary occurs, that is an acceleration up to the freeing of
the piston extension (19) (fig. 2) inside the support tube (4) (fig. 2) thereby creating an
overpressure which is compensated by an accumulator (23) (fig. 3).

Title: Push-button type coating instrument
Inventor: ISOBE TOSHIHIRO
IPC: B43K8/02

Abstract: A knock type applicator includes a cylindrical shell having a coating liquid storage chamber, a writing tip slidably inserted into an opening portion formed in a distal end of the cylindrical shell, and a valve mechanism between the writing tip and the coating liquid storage chamber. The valve mechanism has a valve element connected to the writing tip. Ribs are formed in an inner wall of the opening portion of the cylindrical shell in a lengthwise direction of the cylindrical shell. The diameter of an inscribed circle connecting apexes of the ribs is dimensioned smaller than the maximum diameter of the writing tip. By this, the ribs bite or project into the writing tip which is advanced in combination with the valve element during knocking operation. As a consequence, the writing tip is cracked by the ribs projected therein. At that time, hardened substance, gelled substance and viscous substance created from the coating liquid in the writing tip are peeled off from the fibers of the writing tip, thus recovering an ink flow passage in the writing tip. A connecting force between the writing tip and the valve element is set smaller than a biasing force exerted to the valve element, and a joining distance between the writing tip and the valve element is set longer than a moving distance of the valve element during knocking operation. Thus, the writing tip would not escape from the valve element even if the knocking force is released by mistake when the hardened substance, gelled substance, etc. of the coating liquid is removed from the writing tip.
