Abstract: An apparatus for radio-controlled automation systems for opening/closing curtains, entrance doors, rolling shutters, gates, barriers, electrical switches or the like, comprising a radio receiver which is coupled to an electric motor or to an electrical switch and comprising at least one radio transmitter for the remote actuation. The radio receiver comprises means for actuating the electric motor or the electrical switch on the basis of the content of an actuation radio signal which originates from the radio transmitter. The radio receiver comprises a memory storing a certificate which identifies the radio receiver and is adapted to provide an authorization for any operation at the radio receiver. The actuation means comprise stored instructions to perform the operation if the actuation signal comprises, in encoded form, the certificate in addition to a recognition code of the radio transmitter and a control code which corresponds to the operation to be performed.

Abstract: An automatic machine for producing corrugated sheet elements, particularly for packaging, thermal insulation, soundproofing and the like, comprising elements for continuously corrugating a first ribbon that moves longitudinally, a feeder for feeding a second flat ribbon in step with the first ribbon, and a device for joining one another the first and second ribbons in discrete regions.

Abstract: A sound transducer, comprising at least one acoustically neutral body with which it is possible to associate two sound conveyance elements which are shaped approximately like a stylized funnel so as to each form an auricle, which protrudes outside the acoustically neutral body and is blended with a duct with which a three-pole microphone cartridge is associated, the cartridge being arranged so that its front end, adapted to acquire the sound, is proximate to the inlet of the duct. The two cold poles of the microphone cartridges are mutually inverted, so that the cold pole of one of the microphone cartridges and the hot pole and the ground of the other of the microphone cartridges are or can be connected to a same connector or socket which is or can be associated with an amplifying and/or recording and/or processing device.

Abstract: 13-substituted 5,6-dihydrodibenzo[a,g]quinolizinium salt compounds of the general formula (I): processes for the preparation of said compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds and the use of said compounds for the manufacture of medicaments suitable for the treatment of cancerous diseases.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine of the two- or four-stroke petrol, diesel or gas-fueled type, comprising: an engine block which forms internally at least one cylinder; a head which contains a cylindrical rotary distributor which is adapted to connect, by means of two internal ports, a combustion chamber of the at least one cylinder alternately to the air intake and to the gas exhaust; a plate for closing the head in an upper region, in which intake and exhaust conveyance channels of the engine are provided; for each at least one cylinder being provided a single sealing element which is arranged between the at least one cylinder and the rotary distributor. The sealing element has a cradle which is shaped complementarily with respect to the rotary distributor and a cylindrical protrusion that has an open cavity which forms the combustion chamber of the cylinder.

Abstract: An apparatus for dosing and mixing solid powders in technological processes for converting plastic materials, comprising an assembly for dosing the solid powders to be mixed with a first process liquid before mixing with an additional process liquid, the dosage assembly comprising at least one hydraulic cylinder for introducing the powders at a preset pressure which is correlated to the pressure of the first process liquid kept at a controlled pressure.

Abstract: A circular filling machine particularly for slender and elongated products, comprising a carousel assembly which supports a plurality of filling funnels which can be inserted in corresponding containers supported by transfer pans, the filling machine further comprising vibration elements for the funnels, vibration elements for the containers, and a tamping assembly for the insertion and final packing of the product in the containers.

Abstract: A rotary centering device for the transfer of a bar from the guiding channel of a feeder to a lathe, comprising a supporting element and provided with at least one circular seat in which a grip element for a bar is supported, the grip element being constituted by a bush which has a tubular portion and a plurality of sectors connected to the tubular portion, elastic elements being provided which act on the bush and are designed to control its axial movement between a first stop position, in which the sectors define a circular opening whose diameter is the same as that of the bar, and a second position, in which the sectors are moved until they form an opening to allow the passage of the bar pusher.

Abstract: An automatic machine for versatile and alternative application of at least two types of sealant along the perimetric rim of an insulating glazing unit, whose spacer frame is constituted preferably but not exclusively by a continuous strip of expanded synthetic material. In particular, the machine allows simple and quick switching from one sealant to another, since the path of the plurality of sealants which starts from their feed, be they of the hot and/or cold extruded type, uses a plurality of ducts which reach the extrusion nozzles that are active proximate to the perimetric rim of the insulating glazing unit.

Abstract: A high chair, comprising a supporting structure, which is provided with a supporting element associated to one post arranged along a first longitudinal direction substantially starting from an end portion of the supporting element to define at least three resting regions, the one post supporting a respective coupling element which supports a seat which forms a sitting surface, elements being provided for blocking the coupling elements with respect to the respective post in order to adjust the distance between the seat and the supporting element; the supporting element being articulated so that it can rotate, substantially at the end portion, to the post in order to pass from an extended condition, in which the supporting element is angularly spaced with respect to the respective post to a folded condition in which the supporting element is angularly closer to the respective post.

Abstract: A multilayer laminated film for packages, constituted by a first layer made of plastic material and by at least one second layer made of material chosen among plastic material, metallic material, paper-like material or equivalent materials; each layer is coupled to the adjacent layer by means of an intercalated layer of adhesive material. The multilayer laminated film has, on at least one face of the more rigid layer of plastic material, a plurality of continuous, parallel, side-by-side incisions, which are adapted to facilitate a reduction of the breaking load at right angles to the direction of the incisions. The incisions are obtained by removing material and affect only partially the thickness of the more rigid layer.

Abstract: Alignment device adapted to measure characteristic angles of the wheels and of the steering of motor vehicles, particularly camber, toe-in, caster, by way of arms provided with sensors to be fastened to the wheels. In particular, in the step for determining the mounting error of the grip elements (runout), the level sensor is used to measure the wheel rotation angle and methods for compensating the measurements performed when the arms are at a nonzero level are then applied.
