Abstract: In a method of producing microstructured metal sheets, microstructures are made in a metal sheet surface in a continuous embossing step on one side of the metal sheet, while the surface structure of the other side is essentially not changed. The embossing step is carried out by means of an embossing roller which has a negative of the microstructure to be embossed. The flanks of the microstructure form an angle of at least 5° with respect to the perpendicular line, and the negative contains compensating structures in the regions surrounding the microstructure for rendering the forming uniform along the roller slit.

Abstract: A new packaging technology which improves the electrical and mechanical performance of the circuits using magnetic elements. High frequency current loops generate electromagnetic fields which are radiated or induce high frequency current in the rest of the circuit. To reduce the radiated field, these loops have been minimized by locating the high frequency switching components close to each other and very close to the magnetic elements. By separating the high frequency switching electronic components from the rest of the electronic components and locating them on the same multilayer PCB where the magnetic element is constructed, optimal results are obtained.

Abstract: The suit according to the invention comprises, as well as a textile lining and a skin made of low stretch textile material, a double walled skin lying between them, made of moderately stretchable watertight material. The latter is made of walls, which are joined together at connection positions for instance by welding. The mutually communicating hollow spaces arising thereby in the double walled skin are filled with a fluid. The suit is closed by zip fasteners (17, 19) and by shoulder straps (18). Short zip fasteners (26) in the crotch facilitate putting on the suit. The front part (20), armlets (21) thorax part (24) can be equipped with various structures of connecting positions, which however are arranged similarly on both halves of the suit. All the named parts (20, 21, 24) can be provided each with two valves (22, 23) for filling with the fluid and for ventilation.

Abstract: A central venous cather (1) is placed in the vena cava superior (2) and equipped with a heating coil (3) for emitting heat pulses in the immediate proximity of the distal end (5) of the catheter (1) in order to introduce travelling temperature deviations to the patient's circulation. The power transferred to the blood stream during emission of each heat pulse represents an input signal for modified thermodilution measurements. Each travelling temperature deviation is detected as a system response corresponding to an input signal, when it reaches an arterial catheter (14) which additionally comprises a pressure sensor (17) for measuring the local blood pressure in the arteria femoralis (16) as a function of time.

Abstract: In a thermal fixing system for fixing toner images on the front side of a recording medium in an electrographic printer or copier device, the back side of the recording medium can already have a fixed toner image. The thermal fixing means contains a heat transfer fixing station that fixes the toner images on the recording medium, and contains a pre-heating saddle that precedes the heat transfer fixing station in a running direction of the recording medium. A sliding surface that accepts the recording medium over its back side is allocated to the pre-heating saddle. The sliding surface is constructed of a toner-repellant material at least in a contact region with the recording medium. The preheating saddle is designed as a low temperature saddle with the largest possible constructional length, so that a temperature difference between recording substrate and saddle surface is as small as possible. The preheating saddle has, in the recording substrate running direction, a plurality of heating zones.

Abstract: The device is provided with a heating jaw, which softens the protective layers of optical fibers in order to be able to cut them more easily and to pull them off. For particularly thick optical fibers, the heating jaw is provided with a longitudinal groove with which the contact surface to the optical fiber is enlarged and the heating of the protective layer is accelerated.

Abstract: A document feeder employs a lifting lever to lift stacked documents away from a feed roller each time a document is being fed away from the stack. In this way the separation of documents is enhanced, providing a mechanism that more readily accommodates documents of varying shapes, thicknesses, and materials. The feeder uses a motor linked by one-way clutches to feed mechanisms for documents and for labels, stacked separately. The motor is driven in one direction to feed documents and in the other direction to feed labels. A moistener is provided below the paper path, and the moistener is mounted so that it can be slidably removed. When it is removed, feed rollers are permitted to relax and move apart which helps in the clearing of jams.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a tightening fastener, in which a clip band is bent in the shape of a ring or a spiral, as well as a tension locking system, wherein the clip band can be used to fasten elongated objects such as cables or pipes in pipeworks and mainly pipes which cannot be accessed. A series of radially protruding holders may be attached to the clip band. These holders are positioned to receive cables, pipes, or other elongated objects. The tension locking system may include a stop member which can, for example, be made in the shape of a stop bolt and which may be maintained in a stop position by a stop frame. When the stop bolt is disengaged from its stop position, the tension locking system partially expands and transmits the tightening force to the clip band, thus tightening the clip band.

Abstract: The suit according to the invention comprises, as well as a textile lining and an oversuit, an active part lying between them. This is at least partly made from a layer (3) on the body side and a layer (4) away from it, both of a fluid-tight, low stretch textile material, which are connected to each other at connection positions (6) by gluing, welding or sewing and thereby create hollow spaces (5), which are filled with fluid through valves (16, 17). Between regions, which comprise the layers (3, 4), for instance the upper part (14) and the front part (15), joining parts can be arranged, which transmit tensile forces only. This builds up a compensating pressure proportional to the acceleration working in the momentary and local direction on the parts of the body lying beneath and thus takes the load off the organism of the pilot arising from the effects of such accelerations.
