Abstract: An apparatus for enabling the tolerance of the skin of individual persons to ultra-violet radiation to be determined, including a source of UV radiation and a mask having apertures for allowing UV radiation of different intensities to be applied to the skin of a person being tested.
Abstract: This invention concerns an oscillator for time measurement, comprising a resonator the oscillation of which is maintained by at least one part reciprocated by electrostatic forces relative to at least one electrode connected to a direct voltage source, said part being periodically charged by contact with the electrode, or electrodes comprising an elastically deformable contact making member whose elastic deformation energy is much less when in contact with an electrode than the motional energy of the resonator.
