  • Patent number: 4122423
    Abstract: A magnetic control device comprising one pair of permanent magnets cooperating with armatures to form first and second air gaps and, means for inverting the direction of magnetization of one magnet. In a first direction of magnetization, the flux closes through the first air gap, while, in the opposite direction, the flux is at least partially cancelled in the first air gap and passes through the second air gap, which is substantially smaller than the first air gap. Such a device is adapted to actuate a two way valve.

  • Patent number: 4117667
    Abstract: A segmented band with profile segments, in which the profile segments have a U-profile form, the legs of which form side walls having projecting arms which are equipped with hooks on their ends. The wall section between the arms is intended to hold connecting links, each link having a longitudinal groove intended to hold together the side wall sections, lying between the arms of two neighboring U-profile segments. Closure means are provided to engage in the hooks of said arms which serve to prevent the connecting links for slipping out of the U-profile segments.

  • Patent number: 4118718
    Abstract: The exposure measuring system for single-lens reflex cameras, in which system the light passing through the objective lens is conveyed to the view finder eyepiece via a view finder reflex mirror, is provided with an additional mirror in the optical path of the camera, which additional mirror is partly translucent. A photo electric cell is pivotally mounted in order to be movable by linkage coupled with the reflex-mirror so that in one position during image viewing the cell receives light from the reflex mirror for light measurement and in another position during film exposure the cell receives light from the additional mirror for controlling exposure time.

  • Patent number: 4116063
    Abstract: Bolometer cooled to a very low temperature, wherein the sensitive element has a very low thermal capacity and, for this purpose, a semiconductor crystal extended on two faces by beams made of the same material, but of smaller section, which have been metallized. These metallized beams, wherein the volume of crystal has been reduced to a minimum by their very small section, directly or indirectly provide the thermal link with the cryostat and the electrical link with the measuring circuit making it possible to eliminate all welds using bonding metal on the side of the crystal which forms part of the sensitive element. In a preferred mode of embodiment, the thermal substrate thermally linked to the crystal is a piece of monocrystalline diamond.
