Industria Tecnica de la Bisagra, S.A. (I.T.B.)
Abstract: A piezoelectric motion detector is disclosed. The device is particularly suitable for use in analyzing a golf ball when hit from a golf tee. A piezoelectric film is affixed to the bottom of a tee having a base. A signal generated by the piezoelectric film is amplified and is used, for example, to open a camera shutter and initiate a sequence of light flashes.
Abstract: The telemetering system for electrical power consumed by various users converts the units of electrical consumption for each user into signals which may be transmitted and may be read by the corresponding microprocessors, those of a group of users being sent to a concentrator with its corresponding microprocessor, memory and program in order to go, in a star structure, increasing in scale and volume, to other concentrators or reading equipment and be able to end up in a central computer of the electricity distributing company.

Abstract: A lightweight, collapsible golf trolley is disclosed comprising an extruded elongate chassis member 1 of lightweight metal or alloy, e.g. aluminium. The chassis member 1 is of an inverted channel section with two downwardly and outwardly flared side wall sections 2, 3 against which are pivoted the wheel struts 4, 5 which are likewise lightweight alloy extrusions. Preferably the struts are in two halves forming a parallel linkage with the chassis and the wheel brackets 13. Hinged to the forward end of the chassis is a handle 27 which can be folded to a position alongside the chassis thus collapsing the wheel struts via the tie 37.
Abstract: This invention relates to thieno-triazolo-diazepine derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R represents various substituents, to a preparation process of these compounds consisting in reacting the thieno-triazolo-diazepine compound of the formula ##STR2## on RSO.sub.2 Cl and to therapeutic compositions containing the same. The compounds are particularly interesting as anti-PAF and anti-ischemic agents.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for the separation of stereoisomers of 7-hydroxy-furo[3,4-c]pyridine derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.6 represent various substitutents, which comprises reacting a fully O-acetylated monosaccharide halogenide with a racemate of the selected 7-hydroxy-furo[3,4-c]pyridine derivative, to form the (+) and (-) (O-acetylated monosaccharide) (furo[3,4-c] pyridine 7-yl derivative) ethers, then separating the (+) and the (-) ethers by selective crystallization, in an hydroalcoholic medium, either of the acetylated forms or of the corresponding desacetylated forms and, finally, working up each of the separated derivatives by the usual routes. The compounds are known pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: Two dimensional generating system for the geometry of a model using artificial vision, that consists of a matrix camera situated in front of a model that matrixes the image and by a process of binarization converts it into white and black, it is later treated by a microprocessor that interacts with the user for the extraction of the perimeter of the image by analysis of transitions of the data coming from the binarization, and the modelization of the perimeter by determining its lines and curves, and the definition and delimiting of its lines and curves, storing the contents in a memory with a DXF format.
Abstract: A starch jelly candy is made from a starch jelly formulation of a starch composition of a first starch from a plant having a dull horny (duh) homozygous genotype and a second starch obtained from a plant having a homozygous genotype selected from the group consisting of amylose extender dull (aedu), amylose extender sugary-2 (aesu2), amylose extender dull shrunken-1 (aedushl), dull sugary-2 (dusu2), and mixtures thereof; a sweetener; and water. the mixture is cooked at the temperature of 240.degree.
