Abstract: An apparatus for an object in an ultramicropore space has a lens system so that an incidence point P with the diameter in a range from 0.3 to 0.7 mm comes to a position in a range of 12 to 17 mm away from the front side of an object lens 30. At the same time a reflection mirror 15 is positioned with a reflection mirror mounting member 8 formed with the V-shaped form in front of the object lens 30 and a reflection mirror holding frame 8 at the position of the incidence point. This arrangement is useful fir example to observe a soldered section 52 of an IC chip 50 by inserting this reflection mirror 15 into the ultramicropore space.
Abstract: A mathematical relation between base variables (x1, x2, . . . , xp), when a set of input data d is composed of p base variables (x1, x2, . . . , xp), and a plurality of data sets d (i) of such data set d is inputted, the data sets d(i) are distinguished by an input data distinguishing parameter i. When victors in a q dimensional space, mapped from the input data through q base functions (f1, . . . , fq), form a plane, a mathematical relation can be a linear combination of the base functions. A set of base functions (f1, . . . , fq) are prepared. Sets of the values F(i)=(F1i, . . . , Fqi) of the base functions corresponding to the input data d (i) are acquired. The sets F(i) are considered points in a q dimensional space. Direction cosine of a mapping plane is acquired through cofactors of a determinant of these points, or by solving an eigenvalue problem for determining a plane, the square sum of the perpendicular lines from these points to the plane is minimum.
Abstract: The opto-acoustic generator of ultrasound waves comprises an optical fiber associated to a laser-energy source, and an opto-acoustic transducer which is applied to said fiber and is designed to be impinged upon by the laser beam and to absorb partially the energy, converting it into thermal energy, thus bringing about the formation of ultrasound waves by the thermo-acoustic effect. Said opto-acoustic transducer consists of a layer or film containing prevalently graphite, which is applied on a surface of said optical fiber.

Abstract: The thick-walled cylindrical portion 12 of a holder 10 is provided with axial grooves 18 that open to the inner peripheral surface. In the axial grooves 18, slip-off preventive projections 20 are radially inwardly elastically urged by their own elasticity.

The antislip body-associated fitting portion 56 is formed with a circumferential annular slip-off preventive groove 58 disposed somewhat above the lower end thereof. The antislip portion 54 is formed with antislip body-associated insert receiving portions 60 extending therethrough and disposed at positions corresponding to the slip-off preventive projections 20. Once the antislip body-associated fitting portion is fully to the holder-associated fitting portion, the antislip body can be easily and reliably held in the holder without using any tools.
Abstract: A saw cable guide (1) is provided with a stand (2) and at least two rotatable cable guide rollers (5, 9) mounted pivotably thereon. These are arranged with their pivot axes (8, 12) forming an angle with one another. The saw cable (19) is led around the stand (2) at a corresponding angle. A rotatable deflecting roller (13) is located on the stand (2). The rotatable deflecting roller (13) guides the cable during the deflection and may have a cable guide surface (15) with an oblique profiling (21).
Abstract: A hinge is provided at an edge of a container and a cover of the container. The hinge is designed such that the edge of the container can be both lifted off from the edge of the container and folded away. The pivoting movement of a second member (4) is limited by two stop positions I and II, of which the stop position I defines a stable position of the cover of the container on the edge of the container, fixed by the inner part (8) and the outer part (9). The closed container can be opened from the stop position I by lifting off the cover of the container, and the other stop position II defines a stable position of the cover of the container folded away from the edge of the container with the container opened, likewise fixed by the inner part (8) and the outer part (9).

Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided with a shifting device fastened stationarily in the motor vehicle for actuating the gear change box. The connection between the motor vehicle and the shifting device comprises at least one locking device in the form of a snap-in connection. The snap-in connection may be two complementary snap-in elements which detachably engage one another. The locking device is used with at least one fixing device comprising a bushing and a complementary sleeve that can be inserted into the bushing.
Abstract: During the fastening of a cap (2) on a container (1), the container (1) and the cap (2) are positioned in a starting position in relation to one another and subsequently connected to one another in a positive-locking and preferably also non-positive manner. The cap (2) is held during the positioning by a clamping grip. The positioned cap (2) is taken over by a non-clamping holding mechanism (5), and the clamping grip of the cap (2) is released before the positive-locking and preferably also non-positive connection.
Abstract: From a chamber (18), which can be supplied by a pressure greasing unit (16), there extend several branched channels (20; 22) which reach the points where the lubricant is to be supplied; a passage with a very small cross section (30, 32) is created between said chamber (18) and each branched channel (20, 22) so that a high pressure is reached inside said chamber (18) and—with injection through the grease nipple (16)—a metered supply of lubricant through each of said passages is thus obtained.
Abstract: The spooling device is provided for continuously incoming threads. The device has at least one bobbin holder for receiving several bobbin tubes. The bobbin holder is fixed at one end and has an opposite loading end. The bobbin holder is connected to a bobbin positioning device which supports the bobbin first end. The bobbin positioning device moves the bobbin holder between a first spooling position and a second removal position. A second end support is provided which engages the free end of the bobbin holder only in the first spooling position and does not block the bobbin holder from removal in the second removal position.

Abstract: This is a gas-flow device for semiautomatic or automatic shotguns, which consists of a gas-flow cylinder, closed at the front part by a flange with gas discharge ports (17) around the ammunition magazine, opposite the cylinder, a circular valve (18) that moves axially for controlled opening and closing of the discharge ports. The valve is kept in the closed position by a pre-stressed spring (19) and it moves to the open position when the gas pressure in the expansion chamber increases beyond a set value.
Abstract: A pneumatic linear actuator has a body (10), a chamber (14) in the body that is closed by the end heads (15), a piston (11) that is arranged in the chamber and moved by a fluid sent alternately to the ends of the piston, and a slide or carriage (13) that is movable on the body driven by the piston. A belt (20) is driven on pulleys (19, 21, 22) and connects the piston to the slide, so that a stroke and a velocity at least twice that of the slide correspond to the stroke of the piston.
Abstract: A hydromassage tub (1) allows the user to sit with a support for his/her head. The surfaces (5) for supporting the user (3) are shaped like waves in the cavities of which nozzles may -be disposed for the hydrojets, so as to maintain a slight distance from the user (3) and to allow these to be oriented to specific parts of the body. Medicaments or phytocosmetic substances may be injected along with the hydromassage jet by an assembly of containers, pumps and nozzles under the control of a switchboard. A display is located in front of the user (3) and is able to show the parameters and the development of the treatment and hydromassage processes. The hydromassage is performed under differentiated pressure in relation to the positions of nozzles (6) so as to obtain a higher pressure downwards and a progressively lower pressure upwards. The access to the tub is facilitated with the provision of a tight-seal door (9).
