Abstract: A hand-held dispenser and applicator apparatus dispenses adhesive labels, stickers, or other such adhesive elements that are adhesive on at least one of the faces thereof, from a supply of such adhesive elements adhesively carried on a carrier tape, and furthermore designed to apply such adhesive elements to documents, cartons, album pages, or to other such workpieces. The apparatus comprises a guide structure defining a guide path for guiding adhesive-element-bearing carrier tape to a dispensing location and from there for guiding away the carrier tape freed of dispensed adhesive elements. An applicator platform, located along the guide path at the dispensing location, faces towards and is freely accessible to workpieces such that an adhesive element on a portion of carrier tape stationarily positioned on the applicator platform can be transferred to the workpiece by the user pressing the platform and thereby the adhesive element stationarily positioned thereon against the exact portion of the workpiece at which such workpiece is to receive the adhesive element. A manually activated intermittent-transport mechanism advances successive adhesive-element-bearing increments of carrier tape along the guide path into position on the applicator platform preliminary to the user pressing the applicator platform and stationarily positioned adhesive element thereon against the desired portion of the workpiece.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for lifting equipment for interposing in the force flow path between the lifting equipment or the driving mechanism thereof and a load to be moved, with e.g. a transducer for detecting the load states. In known lifting equipment, it has been found that critical load states are admittedly detected, but are not adequately compensated or cannot be counteracted soon enough. For this purpose, the invention provides at least one mechanism for intermediately storing or at least partly converting the mechanical energy introduced by a load movement into other energy forms, the transducer being coupled in non-positive manner to the mechanism.

Abstract: Liquid crystal temperature indicating compositions, preferably absent cholesteric liquid crystal material, and the containing of such compositions in volumes formed in a containment medium (29) that tends to distort the liquid crystal structure (36) when the temperature thereof is below a transition or clearing point temperature (FIG. 4). The containment medium (29) is water resistant, e.g. insoluble in water, and preferably has heat and optical stability, e.g. does not brown or otherwise discolor, at relatively high temperatures, e.g. above 100oC. Plural liquid crystal materials having different transition temperatures may be mixed to form a liquid crystal material having a transition temperature intermediate those of the ingredients (FIG. 11). In such distorted or curvilinearly aligned mesomorphic phase, the index of refraction of the liquid crystal is different, preferably greater, than that of the containment medium; therefore, incident light (11) will be scattered (21), preferably isotropically, and such scattered light can be used as a temperature identifier (FIG. 1). However, above a transition temperature, the liquid crystal material changes to an isotropic phase (30), which is substantially optically transparent, on the one hand; and the liquid crystal is so selected such that in the isotropic phase it has an index of refraction substantially matching that of the containment medium (29) (FIG. 5). Incident light (11) is transmitted (24) by the isotropic liquid crystal (23) and, accordingly, provides another temperature identifier (FIG. 3). The scattering liquid crystal material will appear visually brighter than the transmitting liquid crystal material, especially when illumination is provided by light from a source (7) independent of ambient light (FIG. 1). Moreover, dye can be used to color the scattered light.

Abstract: The invention pertains to culturing ascocarps or fruitbodies of species of the genus Morchella. Mycelia are provided nutrients and subsequently produce sclerotia. Sclerotia store sufficient nutrient to supply the ascocarps that are developed later. The mycelia and attendant sclerotia are established in a nutrient poor substratum. The fungus is induced to give rise to ascocarp development by initially maintaining the fungus in an environment that is poor in exogenous nutrients, and by exposing the fungus to a high level of water. After induction, primordia appear. The period from primordia appearance until midway to maturation of the fruitbodies represents a critical period during which the fruitbodies are prone to abort. During this critical period, particular attention is directed to maintaining favorable conditions. The fruitbodies, which may be grown to maturation, are harvested.

Abstract: A method for melting a metal in an induction plasma furnace consists in melting the metal (2) by means of the plasma arc (8) and the magnetic field of the inductor (4) and in effecting an interaction between the plasma arc (8) and the magnetic field of the inductor (4), this interaction being accompanied by fluctuations in the energy parameters of the plasma arc (8) and by the appearance of an acoustic pressure. Then, the values of the energy parameters of the plasma arc (8) are analised and compared with the preset values of the energy parameters of the plasma arc (8). At the same time, the acoustic pressure level is measured at each moment of its appearance during the interaction of the plasma arc (8) with the magnetic field of the inductor (4) while the plasma arc (8) is penetrating into the melted metal (2), and the intensity of the magnetic field of the inductor (4) is reduced until the acoustic pressure is eliminated.

Abstract: The suction apparatus (36, 37), in particular for sucking in foam polystyrene chips, has a lid-shaped connection fastening (3) on the bearing arm (10) of a stand (2) for a collection bag. The connection fastening is provided with a covering edge (23), which is closed at the top front end, for sealed-off covering of the bag edge. Directed downwards and opening out into said connection fastening is a blower opening (26) of a conveying channel (4) which is connected to the outlet (8) of a conveying fan (5). The blower opening (26) is covered by a dust filter so that rapid filling of the storage container is achieved with very smooth running, high conveying capacity and without dust. Opening out into the separation chamber (39) of a connectable individual suction apparatus (36) is an inlet opening (46) for the packing material, which is mixed with foreign constituents, and an outlet opening (37) for the separated packing material. These two openings lie adjacently opposite a housing door (58) and the front side is formed by a viewing window (60). The bottom is formed by an accumulation and collecting device (55). Thus the foreign constituents sucked in with the packing material can be separated at a high operating speed and in an extremely simple manner and can then be removed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A longitudinal position measuring device for measuring the relative positions of two objects comprising a housing, a measuring scale, and a scanning unit for scanning the measuring scale. The housing is attached to one of the objects and a scanning unit is attached to the other of the objects by means of a fastening member and a connecting element. The scanning unit comprises a light source and four photosensitive elements. The measuring signal produced by the scanning unit and power to the light source are conducted by means of a cable through the connecting element and into the fastening member. The fastening member is rotatably mounted to the connecting rod so that the fastening member may be readily attached to the other object such as a machine cradle. The cable extends through a chamber located in the fastening member and is connected to an electrical box from which the scanning signals may be taken for conduction to either a display or an evaluation unit. The chamber is dimensioned to allow a sufficient length of cable to be stored so that undesirable stresses on the cable are not exerted during rotation of the fastening member about the connecting rod.
