  • Quality control device for solid, pharmaceutical products
    Patent number: 7343815
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (17) for the quality control of solid pharmaceutical products such as tablets, comprising a testing means (9) having a sensor for checking one or more parameters of the products. The device (17) consists of a housing (2) and a test chamber (15) that is arranged above said housing (2) and that is formed by a floor (4) and by a protective hood (1) that is placed onto this floor, whereby testing means (9) are located in said chamber. Drives (14) and, if applicable, supply means for the testing means and the transporting means (5, 6, 7) that are arranged in the test chamber (15) are located in the separate housing (2) encapsulated so as to be at least splash-proof and dust-tight vis-à-vis the test chamber (15) and the environment.

  • Adaptive comparator circuit and acoustic distance sensor comprising said circuit
    Patent number: 7327635
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptive comparator circuit comprising a comparator with a threshold value input which receives a threshold voltage and a signal input which receives a voltage signal. The threshold value input is connected to one pole by means of a switch and connected to the other pole of a first voltage source by means of a capacitor. The threshold value input is also connected to the signal input of the comparator by means of a diode or a second voltage source. The switch is controlled by the control signal of a signal transmitter. When the switch is in a closed position, the capacitor is charged with the voltage of the first voltage source. When the switch is in an open position, the capacitor is discharged in such a way that the threshold voltage of the signal voltage is corrected at a given time interval.

  • Dental matrix retainer
    Patent number: 7322823
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dental matrix retainer (1) used as an aid when filling two-surface cavities in the molars. It comprises a matrix holder (3) and a device for tensioning a matrix band (2) placed in the form of a loop (22) around the tooth which is to be treated, the matrix holder (3) being composed of a housing (5) with a circular opening (8), and of a spindle like inner body (9) which can turn in this opening (8) and which is provided with a gap (12). The gap (12) can be aligned with a slit (10) in the wall of the housing (5) such that the superposed ends of the matrix band (2) can be inserted into this slit (10) and into the gap (12) aligned therewith and can be tensioned on the tooth by turning the spindle (9).

  • Device for attaching to a tree and stabilizing a bowman attached thereto who is hunting game
    Patent number: 7322443
    Abstract: A strap surrounding a trunk. A support is held a strap against the trunk. A mechanical linkage is attached to the support. A brake is furnished to the mechanical linkage. A frame is attached to the linkage for maintaining a person in position. A belt attached to the frame to be wrapped around a person for preventing a falling of the person. The mechanical linkage can comprise a distance adjustment mechanics allowing a change in distance between the support and the frame. An adjustable mechanical impedance can oppose forces exerted on the mechanical linkage for effecting a change in distance between the support and the frame. The adjustable mechanical impedance can be furnished by an adjustable friction brake.
