Device for hydrodynamic action on wall of a well comprising a casing jointed with the pipe conduit directly or via a roller support and inside of which the mechanism for cavitating of flow of a liquid, mechanism for directing and splitting of the flow and mechanism for interrupting of the discharge jets are sequentially placed. The mechanism for cavitating of flow of a liquid is made in form of an auto-oscillating system. And specifically it can be made in a form of a ball with its diameter ratio to inner diameter of the casing of 0.9–0.98 and a limiter of axial motion; or a ball with its diameter ratio to inner diameter of the casing less than 0.

Abstract: A chopstick manipulating device includes a resilient connecting member having a pair of inwardly angled side members and a bottom portion extending therebetween to form a triangular member with an open top. A pair of chopstick keepers have coplanar substantially triangular-shaped board portions disposed on the rear of board member and outwardly extending posts disposed on an outer corner of the substantially triangular-shaped board portions. Elastic boards extend outwardly from a top portion of the board members. A back surface of each of the board members of the chopstick keepers is coupled to an outer surface of a respective side member of the resilient connecting member. The respective board member, post and elastic board define an open channel for releasably and slidably securing a chopstick against the triangular-shaped board portion. The chopsticks pivot as the resilient connecting member is opened and closed.

Abstract: A process for instabilizing viral quasi-species-distributions under avoidance of resistance phenomena by replication of the nucleic acids of the viruses present in the quasi-species-distribution by of a defective replication system, a) whereby the defective replication system has a rate of misincorporation for nucleotides above the rate of misincorporation of the viral wild-type-replication system and, whereby the viruses are replicated by the replication system having the higher rate of misincorporation at least as effectively as it is done by the replication system of the wild-type virus, b) and/or negative influence of the replication of the consensus-sequence (nucleic acid sequence of the wild-type virus) in relation to other replicatable nucleic acids.

Preferably, the glass powder has a composition including SiO2, CaO, MgO, and TiO2 and the total content of these components is 80 mass % or more. Preferably, the glass powder comprises, by mass percent, 35–65% SiO2, 10–30% CaO, 10–20% MgO, and 12–30% TiO2.

Abstract: A fastener device for two frameless spectacle lenses (2) comprises a nose support provided between the spectacle lenses (2) and supporting parts (4) provided in the region of the nose support onto which the spectacle lenses (2) are glued. In order to provide advantageous bonding conditions it is proposed that the supporting parts (4) comprise flexurally soft supports (3) made of plastic, onto which the spectacle lenses (2) are glued along a face-side circumferential section.

Abstract: A method for creating faded designs in selected areas of fabric includes providing a plurality of fabric pieces and placing at least one cord on at least one selected area of at least one fabric piece of the plurality of fabric pieces in accordance with a selected pattern. Stitches are applied to secure the at least one cord to the at least one fabric piece and to form at least one corded tack. The at least one corded tack is treated to cause color changing of the at least one corded tack, and a garment is formed from the plurality of fabric pieces.

Abstract: A device for fixing ear-phones and/or mini-microphones, especially to items of clothing or equipment. The aim of the invention is to develop a secure, easy to handle, precisely positionable, economical, optional means of fixing even earphones and/or mini-microphones whose structural shapes are years old. The fixing means should neither increase the transport weight nor the construction volume of the earphones and/or mini-microphones, should be usable even in an adapted state in a appropriate position on the item of clothing and/or equipment, and should guarantee (with the exception of special structural shapes) overload protection with an emergency triggering function when there is a strong pull on the earphone and/or microphone cable. To this end, a permanent magnet, a magnet system or an adhesive system is provided at the designated fixing point for the earphones and/or mini-microphones outside or inside of the particular item of clothing and/or equipment.

Abstract: The invention describes a welding apparatus (1), which has a current source (2) for supplying electrical power to at least one electrode at a welding torch (10) and a control system (4) co-operating with the current source (2), linked to an input device (22) for entering settings for different welding parameters, several sensing means being provided for detecting various actual values of a welding process. At least one measuring device or system for sensing mechanical motion, in particular a welding wire displacement and/or a welding torch displacement or similar, is provided, which detects a surface structure of an object.

Abstract: An optical waveguide member is inserted into a tubular member. The tubular member is elongated with heating and fusion-bonded to the optical waveguide member. Thus, a formed body is obtained. The formed body is cut into a predetermined length to obtain an optical waveguide member. The tubular member is preferably made of a crystallized glass with crystals deposited therein at least in the state of the formed body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a production line (1) for assembling and/or processing components (3) transported on workpiece holders (2), incorporating several conveyor sections (5, 6a, 6b, 6c) disposed one after the other, each of which has at least one separate forward feed mechanism (15; 51) which is independent of the adjacent conveyor sections (5, 6a, 6b, 6c) and at least one co-operating guide mechanism with two oppositely lying guide tracks (20), along which the workpiece holder (2) disposed between them, incorporating guide elements to provide a height and lateral guiding action, can be moved and positioned.

Abstract: A towing device for towing watercraft comprising a plurality of arms wherein each of these arms has a first end and a second end. There is at least one stabilizing bar coupled to a first end of these arms, and a coupling connection at the second end of these arms wherein this coupling connection is for coupling to a towed watercraft. To control the longitudinal expansion and contraction of this towing device, a plurality of hinge connections are disposed in a coupling connection between these arms in a region where these arms are coupled to each other. These arms are coupled together in a rotatable manner such as in a scissor like connection. At least one of these hinge connections also connect at a center connection point between at least two of these arms. Thus, these arms rotate around these hinge connections to form a towing device that is adjustable in length wherein these arms are collapsible into a storage platform as well.
