Patent EP-0287268-A2 (EP)
Inventor: GROSSE MAURICE
IPC: G09F11/32
Filed: 1988-04-06
Abstract: Display device comprising shaped guide plates (44) positively guiding the suspension rods (4) of viewing sheets (3) around a roller (8) when each suspension rod (4) is engaged by cradles (11) carried by electrically driven chains (10). A strap (50) which is rendered resilient by the inclusion therein of a spring (53) extends centrally down the rear of the device and prevents the successive suspension rods (4) from becoming detached from the cradles (11) in this region. A gate which includes a stop (55) is provided at the foot of ramps (5) upon which the rods (4) are stacked to ensure that the rods will not become bunched or otherwise entangled on the ramps (5) and that the cradles (11) will positively pick up only one suspension rod (4) at each passage past the gate. A time delay switch (56) is associated with a microswitch (41) and will close to bypass switch (41), after a predetemined interval of time, so that the drive of the device may re-start even if the power supply to the device had previously been switched off with the microswitch (41) in its open circuit position. Each rectangular display sheet (3) preferably comprises two layers which are secured to one another at the edges which coincide with the suspension rods (4) and along one of two longitudinal edges. The other edge is open except for two relatively short portions that are joined together at its opposite ends, whereby webs carrying indicia may be entered between the layers, by appropriate flexing, and will remain trapped therebetween by the short joined together edge portions of the two layers.

Abstract: A magnetic tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus comprises a rotary cylinder (2) having a plurality of magnetic transducer heads (3a-3d) on a cylindrical surface thereof and rotatable about an axis tilted to the vertical for producing obliquely scanned paths on a magnetic tape. A first tape loading mechanism includes a first post (5a) movable along a first guide groove (34) extending from a first initial position in which it engages with a tape (14) from a cassette (1) to a first terminal position adjacent the rotary cylinder. A second tape loading mechanism includes a second post movable along a second guide groove (33) extending from a second initial position in which it engages with the tape to a second terminal position adjacent the rotary cylinder. The first and second tape loading mechanisms are driven so that the first and second posts (5a,5b) move from the initial positions to the terminal positions to cause the tape to be pulled out of the cassette and form an arc of a predetermined angle on the cylindrical wall of the rotary cylinder. A locking mechanism (49,63) is provided for locking the first and second posts in the first and second terminal positions such that the axes of the first and second posts are parallel with the axis of rotation of the rotary cylinder.

Abstract: In order to improve the suction efficiency and the cycle efficiency, a heat-insulating engine structure (10) of the invention has a planar and thin-­walled piston head surface portion (4) of a ceramics material to be exposed to combustion gases. A combustion chamber (15) is formed not on the side of the piston head but on the side of a cylinder head. Namely, the piston head is defined by the cooperation of a cylinder head bottom wall portion (26) having a lowered central portion and a raised outer peripheral portion (18) and a cylinder liner upper portion (28) including an upper tubular part of a substantially square cross-section and a lower cylindrical part. The cylinder head bottom wall portion has an inclined surface radially upwardly extending from the central portion to the outer peripheral portion. Intake and exhaust valves (21, 27) are associated with valve seats formed in the inclined surface. A fuel injection nozzle (25) is disposed substantially centrally of the cylinder head bottom wall portion. The sides of the square tubular part are operative to agitate a swirl to facilitate uniform mixture of fuel and air thereby assuring that the fuel and air are mixed   instantaneously in a zone adjacent to the top dead center of the piston.

Abstract: An inexpensive to manufacture switch is presented which allows a computer terminal port to be coupled to one of a plurality of remote computer ports. The switch includes receivers (218) which receive signals from each of the remote computer ports and transforms the voltage level of the signals allowing the signals to be processed by transistor-to-transistor logic (TTL) circuits. A multiplexor (210), based on voltage levels on a series of address lines, selects one of the remote computer ports from which to receive signals. The selected signals are forwarded to a driver (219) which restores the select­ed signals to the original voltage level and couples the selected signals to the computer terminal port. Similarly, a receiver (217) receives signals from the computer terminal port and transforms the voltage level of these signals allowing the signals to be processed by TTL circuits. A demultiplexor (214), based on voltage levels on the series of address lines, places the signals on a line for the selected remote computer port. The signals then are forwarded to a driver (220) which restores the signals to the original voltage level and couples the signals to the selected remote computer port.

Abstract: A suntanning gauge is provided having a plurality of UV-light absorbing lenses of varying thicknesses affixed to a convenient-to-carry base. Under each lens is a fluorescent material which emits visible light when UV-light impinges upon it. The fluorescent material preferably is placed over a black background under each lens. Associated with each lens are indicia corresponding to the degree of strength of sunscreening compositions, the thinnest lens, for example, having the number 4 near it corresponding to a sun protective factor of 4, and the thickest lens having the number 30 near it corresponding to a sun protective factor of 30, and any desired combinations in between. 
     On any given day, depending on the intensity of the sun, UV-light will penetrate none, one or more of the lenses, and, if a lens is penetrated, the fluorescent material under it will glow. The highest indicia near a glowing lens will indicate what degree sun protective factor lotion to apply to avoid skin damage. Indicia are preferably provided for fair, medium and dark com­plexioned people.   
     In an alternate embodiment, a gauge is provided for determining when sunscreen lotion has worn off the user's body and should be reapplied. The device comprises an adhesive base to which is affixed a thin porous layer saturated with a pH-indicating litmus solution and on top of which is coated a polyvinylchloride (PVC) film. This device can be used with the suntanning gauge described above or it can be used separately. If sunscreen lotion is applied to the top surface of the PVC film, as long as no UV-light passes through it, nothing happens. As the lotion wears off by evaporation or bathing, UV-light begins to penetrate the PVC film causing it to degrade and give off hydrochloric acid which changes the color of the litmus solution. Then it is time to reapply the sunscreen lotion.

Abstract: Polyolefin/polyester composite fibres having a low apparent Young's modulus are produced by 
composite spinning a polyolefin as sheath component and a polyester as core component; 
stretching the resulting unstretched filaments to two or more times their original length at a temperature 20°C or more above the secondary transition point of the polyester and below the melting point of the polyolefin; and 
annealing the resulting stretched filaments at a temperature 20°C or more above the secondary transition point of the polyester and below the melting point of the polyolefin for 30 seconds or more, to give composite fibres having an apparent Young's modulus of 210 Kg/cm² or less. 
     The fibres are used to make filter elements by winding them on to a core while heating them to the melt-adhesion temperatue of their sheath component; adjusting the void content to a desired rate; and cooling the remaining core.
