Abstract: An injection gun especially useful for injecting low volume, high pressure shots of bone cement. The gun includes a cylindrical housing with a plunger including a plunger rod extending axially through the housing. The plunger rod includes a segment which is provided with an axial series of notches. A ratchet block is slidable axially within the cylindrical housing and is concentric with the plunger rod. The ratchet cylinder mounts at least a ratchet pawl urged against the plunger rod and adapted to engage and lock into the series of notches for forward movement. A pistol grip extends from the cylindrical housing, and a lever is pivoted thereto with an extension of the lever engaging the ratchet cylinder for advancing the plunger. A second ratchet pawl is mounted on a fixed member of the cylindrical housing for retaining the plunger against rearward movement when the pawl in the ratchet cylinder is disengaged from the rod.

Abstract: In order to accomplish aforementioned and other objects, a spark ignition timing control system, according to the present invention, is adapted to perform spark ignition timing control for an internal combustion engine combustioning a blended fuel, such as gasoline/alcohol mixture fuel. The control system performs MBT control by adjusting spark advance angle toward a maximum pressure point in feedback manner. The spark advance angle derived in MBT control is modified with a correction value derived on the combustion propagation speed which is variable depending upon blending ratio of one of the fuels in the blended fuel.

Abstract: A process for treating bitter lupin seeds, wherein the seed is reduced to a very fine particle size either before or during a countercurrent extraction using aqueous solutions which contain differing concentrations of lupin-seed extract, produces a material containing bitter substances extracted from the lupin seed which can be used as a biologically active agent, for example, to affect the growth of plants.

Abstract: A receiver for a digital data transmission system comprises a sampling device for sampling digital data signals received from a subscriber loop. A precursor equalizer connected to the output of the sampling device equalizes, in effect filters, the sampled digital data signal. A timing recovery circuit connected to the output of the precursor equalizer controls the sampling device in dependence upon the filtered digital data signal. The precursor equalizer has a difference equation such that the equalized digital data signal has at least one zero-crossing occurring substantially one baud before the main cursor of each pulse. For twisted wire pair subscriber loops, the precursor equalizer may have a different equation: ##EQU1## which produces a single precursor zero-crossing. Alternatively, the precursor equalizer may have a difference equation: ##EQU2## which produces two precursor zero crossings, y(n) being the input to the filter, w(n) its output, h.sub.0 the main cursor height before equalization and h.sub.

Abstract: A head rest for the seat of an automotive vehicle is attached to a stay by means of a bolt which tightens a clamping clip onto the stay. The same bolt functions to hold the clip in place within the internal structure of the head rest. The engaging pressure of the clip can be adjusted by the bolt, and therefore, the precision with which the parts are formed does not need to be high allowing the head rest to be made inexpensively. By providing the clip in the interior of the head rest as opposed to an outside surface, it is possible to prevent injury to the vehicle occupants which might otherwise be caused by impacts on the clip or the bolt during an accident.

Abstract: For intermediate enrichment of trace substances from a gas stream, a cold ap is used which carries a flow and optionally contains an adsorbent material and which is surrounded by a gas-tight double-walled jacket into which cooling fluid from a surrounding cooling bath can penetrate via an extension tube at the bottom. For desorption, the cooling fluid is expelled from the double-walled jacket via compressed air and a valve control. A pipe loop connected to the double-walled jacket and having a heater winding and circulation pump allows rapid heating of the cold trap. A level control apparatus connected to the compressed-air line allows sensitive level adjustment in the bottom extension tube of the double-walled jacket during the desorption phase. Such a cold trap is advantageous, inter alia, in a chromatography arrangement with a separation column and fractionating column of high resolution and sensitivity.
