Abstract: In known non-contact web cleaners, clean air at high velocity is passed over the surface of the web to remove debris. However, these web cleaners can only remove particles down to a certain size due to the boundary layer produced over the surface of the web by the high velocity air stream. Electrostatic charges are also used to neutralise the charge which may be attracting the debris or dirt to the surface of the web. Electrostatic cleaning is only effective at low web speeds. Described herein is a method and apparatus which produces alternating electrostatic forces to separate particles from the surface of the web in the region of the boundary layer. The apparatus utilises an electrode (18) to produce a corona discharge in a gap (20) formed between the electrode (18) itself and the surface of the web (10) being treated. An air supply arrangement (22) is provided to supply air to and remove air from the gap (20) to remove the particles which have been lifted from the surface of the web (10) due to the corona discharge.

Abstract: Dans les tiroirs connus de caisses enregistreuses, le couvercle est relié par entraînement au tiroir de la caisse, de manière à s'ouvrir lorsque le tiroir est tiré et à se fermer lorsque le tiroir est poussé. Le couvercle a un secteur denté monté rotatif qui est en prise avec une crémaillère montée sur le tiroir de la caisse. Des erreurs comptables peuvent se produire notamment lorsque le tiroir est enlevé du boîtier de la caisse ou lorsque le plateau de monnaie est enlevé. Ce nouveau tiroir de caisse doit permettre d'éviter de telles erreurs comptables. A cet effet, le tiroir de caisse (3) comprend un couvercle (14) qui est relié au tiroir (3) lorsque celui-ci est inséré dans le boîtier (2) de la caisse et qui peut se détacher du boîtier (2) de la caisse après avoir été verrouillé au tiroir. Dans un développement préféré, le couvercle (14) comprend un compartiment (50) de réception d'une carte à circuits intégrés, notamment une carte conforme à la norme ISO 7816. Ce tiroir convient à toutes caisses enregistreuses et peut de préférence être utilisée dans des caisses enregistreuses avec une fréquence élevée de rotation du personnel d'exploitation, étant donné que chaque tiroir peut être attribué à une personne déterminée. Les cartes peuvent servir de cartes d'identification pour enregistrer la personne qui se sert de la caisse enregistreuse.

Abstract: A programmable logic array comprising cells and a bus network in which the cells are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix of rows and columns and are interconnected by the bus network. The cells are also interconnected by a two-dimensional array of direct connections between a cell and its four nearest neighbors, one to its left (or to the West), one to its right (or to the East), one above it (or to the North) and one below it (or to the South). Each cell comprises eight inputs, eight outputs, means for multiplexing the eight inputs onto two leads and logic means that operate in response to the signals on the two leads to produce output signals which are applied to the eight outputs. The bus network comprises a local, a turning and an express bus for each row and column of the array and repeater means for partitioning said buses of a given row or column so as to form bus segments. The bus network provides for transfer of data to the cells of the array without using the cells as individual wires.

Abstract: In the small-sized vehicle, in particular wheel chair, fitted with motors in the wheel hub, the entire drive part comprising a D.C. motor and a planet wheel gear is housed without any projecting end within the wheel hub (10). This permits the driven wheels to be designed as removable plug-on wheels. Between the hub and the planet wheel gear there is formed a coupling (45, 46) which can be easily operated by a wheel chair driver and which also permits free, manually operated movement of the running wheels. The invention permits wheel chairs which have a foldable chair frame and can be dismantled for transportation to be provided even subsequently with an electric motor drive.

Abstract: In a method for the continuous determination of the moisture content of gases, especially of flue gases, whose composition varies, which method employs a solid-electrode measuring element, one of whose electrodes is subjected to test gas shunted off from the gas stream to be measured and whose second electrode is subjected to a reference gas, the test gas stream is divided and a first part stream is fed directly as a test gas to a solid-electrolyte measuring element, while the second part stream is dried to a defined residual humidity and said dry test gas is fed to a second solid-electrolyte measuring element. In each of the solid-electrolyte measuring elements, reference gases having a constant composition are employed. The measured values of the two solid-electrolyte measuring elements are injected into an arithmetic circuit. If the same reference gas is employed in both the solid-electrolyte measuring elements, it is possible to inject directly into the arithmetic circuit the difference of the output voltages of the solid-electrolyte measuring elements. If the oxygen proportions of the reference gases are known, it is possible first to determine, in analysers assigned to the individual solid-electrolyte measuring elements, the oxygen partial pressures of the humid and the dry test gas part stream and then to inject these into the arithmetic circuit. The solid-electrolyte measuring elements used are expediently zirconium elements.

Abstract: An electrothermal gas generating device for inflating the air cushion of an occupant restraint system of the "air bag" type. Upon sensing a deceleration above a predetermined threshold level a discharge voltage is applied between electrodes within the electrothermal device which sustains a current arc therebetween, creating a plasma jet which flows into a chamber containing a solid or liquid reactive material. The reactive material is converted into gas by the high temperature, high pressure plasma jet. The gas created then flows into and inflates the air cushion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load-dependent twin braking power regulator, the switchover pressure of which is determined by a lever (24) via a rocker component (17). The casing (1) is extruded. It has so far been customary to grind out a large cylindrical space to take the rocker component and a round protective cap seat by material removal. Such loss of material is avoided by the invention in that two casing projections (28, 29) are formed with the extrusion, each of which has a groove (30, 31). The protective cap (26) with a sheet-metal ring (33) is pressed against the casing (1) between said grooves until the sheet-metal ring (33) engages in the grooves (30, 31).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an artificial joint, especially an endoprosthesis for the human shoulder joint, comprising two joint members that move toward one another, an articular head (3) and a glenoid cavity (2) with spherical joint surfaces. The relative curvatures of the functional surfaces (5, 7) are convex-concave in the frontal plane and in a transverse plane perpendicular thereto. The joint geometry of the functional surfaces relative to one another in each of the two planes is determined by a dimeric joint chain extending through the centres of rotation of the functional surfaces of the particular section contours. With regard to their functional surfaces the articular head (3) and the glenoid cavity (2) are designed such that, in their suspended position corresponding to the resting position of the arm, the mutual functional surfaces (5,7) in the frontal plane have the same radius of curvature in the contact area (8) with linear contact of the functional surfaces (5, 7) and are adjoined by a rolling region (9) in which the radii RP1, RK1 of the two functional surfaces (5, 7) are chosen such that an expanding gap extends between the two joint members (2, 3) in the circumferential direction. <IMAGE>
