Abstract: Terminal portatif alimenté par pile. Le terminal détermine si la tension VB de la pile est plus faible qu'une valeur V1 en état d'attente ou de conversation (ST1 et ST8). Lorsque la tension VB de la pile est égale à V1, l'utilisateur du terminal peut appeler un abonné et lui parler pendant un temps déterminé. Lorsque la tension VB devient inférieure à V1, l'appareil passe en mode 'en attente' (ST14), qui entraîne une plus faible consommation de courant. Lorsque l'appareil est mis en mode 'en service', il avertit l'usager, par un signal sonore ou autre, que la ligne va être coupée au bout d'un délai déterminé (ST10). Lorsque le délai déterminé t2, une minute par exemple, est écoulé (ST12), l'appareil coupe la ligne et se met en mode 'en attente' à faible consommation (ST14). Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut lancer un autre appel après la coupure de la ligne et dispose de davantage de possibilités de lancer des appels au moment voulu. Lorsqu'un délai déterminé, par exemple une minute, s'est écoulé après que l'appareil est passé, à la suite d'un appel, du mode 'en attente' au mode 'en service', la ligne est coupée et le fonctionnement de l'appareil téléphonique est interrompu après que l'utilisateur a été averti de la coupure de la ligne par un signal sonore ou autre.

Abstract: The present invention provides that a spinner disc (40) of the type which is carrier by a vehicle and is for spreading salt on roads to keep them free of snow and ice, is designed to direct the salt, as it is propelled from the spinner disc, in a downwards direction so that it will not impact on the side body work of passing vehicles. To achieve this the vanes (52) on the spinner disc (40) have along their upper edges (54) which incline in a downwards manner in a direction from the centre to the periphery of the dics, turned over portions which are also so inclined. These turned over portions (54) catch the material (M) which is centrifugally propelled by the vanes (52) and direct it in a downwards direction as it leaves the spinner disc (40). Additionally, the vanes (52) at their inner edges project through an aperture (41) in the centre of the disc (40) and form fan blades (43) by which air is drawn onto the upper surface of the disc (40) to assist in propelling the material (M) from the disc (40). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition which is stable and suitable for oral administration to a patient comprises a mixture of a substituted pyridyl sulfinyl benzimidazole having gastric acid secretion inhibitory activity (such as omeprazole, lansoprazole, or pantoprazole), and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier comprises a polymer having vinyl pyrrolidone monomeric units, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone or a vinyl pyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer. Surprisingly, it has been found that the vinylpyrrolidone polymer acts as a stabilizing excipient on the substituted pyridyl sulfinyl benzimidazole so that the composition need not include any alkaline components to prevent degradation of the active ingredient. In a preferred embodiment, the composition is in the form of a capsule, whereby the mixture of the substituted pyridyl sulfinyl benzimidazole and the vinyl pyrrolidone polymer in the form of a powder blend or granules, is contained within a capsule shell, which capsule shell is made from an enteric material or is coated with an enteric material. A process for preparing the stable pharmaceutical composition is also disclosed.
