Abstract: The invention relates to a weapon whose main object is to attack targets, such as armoured tanks, from above unexpectedly. The weapon includes an active part (1), a propulsion unit, such as a launching device (2), an anchorage attachment (4) which is intended to be firmly anchored in relation to the terrain, and a line (3) whose first end (5) is attached to the active part (1) and whose second end (6) is pivotally attached to the anchorage attachment (4). When used, the active part (1) is launched vertically upwards, with the line (3) held taut, whereafter the active part is guided by the line through the air in a circular arcuate path or trajectory (8) to a target (7), with the centre of the arcuate trajectory in the anchorage attachment (4).

Abstract: Aromatic .alpha.-hydroxyamides are disclosed, which are useful as active components in insect repellent compositions. Suitable compounds are derivatives of mandelic acid amide, such as N,N-diethyl-D,L-mandelic acid amide.

Abstract: This invention relates to a flow meter of a fluidistor oscillator type, which has its principal use when measuring the ventilation of a moving human being or animal. Thanks to the special design of the flow meter it can be made small, light and portable at the same time as the pressure drop in it is minimal.
