Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for the acceptance of an object such as a measuring device, sensor, probe, tube for use in the mouth, nose or other body orifice of a person or animal. A pressure applying component of the arrangement is capable of being applied externally around the orifice on the body of the individual while an attachment component receives the object of the kind in question. The pressure part is arranged to cause attachment through interaction with the object or by applying a counter-pressure device attached to the pressure component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and apparatus for inserting wire ends into components and an apparatus for manufacturing electrical cable bundles.According to the invention an apparatus for inserting the ends (70) of wire sections (5) in openings (54a) of components (54) comprises a device which moves the components relative to the wire end held in the mating gripper (7) along a curved trajectory.The relevant technical field is that of electrical cable bundles.

Abstract: The method involves use of an instrument with at least one operational amplifier to sense the analog value first of a voltage, and then of the relative current, introducing a known delay and applying a reference voltage at the amplifier input to render all the signals positive. The analog values are then converted to digital voltage and current values and are corrected by subtracting the offset value of the operational amplifier, which is given by averaging the digital values. The instrument includes an analog-digital converter as one component of a data processing unit, which further incorporates a switch, a sample-and-hold circuit, a memory with an internal shift register, and a programmable control unit which is capable of shifting the compensated current into quadrature in such a manner as to allow a direct calculation of reactive power by way of the shift register.

Abstract: A non-heat treated, high tensile strength, highly formable steel strap that may be applied in a tensioned loop about packaged articles with a strapping machine. The strap is fabricated from a steel comprising approximately, 0.20 to 0.25 percent carbon, 0.30 to 0.60 percent manganese, 0.04 percent maximum phosphorus, 0.05 percent maximum sulfur, an aluminum in an amount sufficient for full aluminum kill, 0.10 percent maximum silicon, and a boron to free nitrogen ratio of approximately between 1.07 to 1.43. The steel is coiled at a coiling temperature of approximately 1100 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce self-annealing that occurs during air cooling after coiling. The coiled steel is then reduced approximately 80 percent by cold rolling to increase tensile strength before it is fabricated into steel strap which may be protected with a zinc coating.
