The light emitting surface includes an array of light emitting sources, each source being configured for emitting different rays of light at different wavelengths. The moving means are used for controllably and remotely moving the light emitting surface with respect of the base along a predetermined path and at a predetermined rate. The control means are used for controlling the light emitting sources so that each source emits a given ray of light at a given wavelength, and for controlling the moving means so that the light emitting surface is moved to treat the skin of a patient. Also described is an assembly including the apparatus, as well as a method of operating the same.

Abstract: The pod of wind-powered generator is constituted by a rigid fairing in which at least one electricity generator for coupling to at least one wind-driven propeller is disposed. The rigid fairing of the pod is formed by the body of the generator in which there are mounted a stator and a rotor, thereby simplifying the structure of the pod.

Abstract: A dermabrasion hand tool for abrasively removing a skin surface by means of an abrasive stream projected onto the skin surface to be removed. The hand tool includes an elongated manipulative body having a longitudinal axis and first and second opposite ends. The hand tool also includes an operative head through which the abrasive stream is projected onto the skin surface to be removed and through which the removed skin surface and used abrasive stream are evacuated, the operative head being removably mounted onto the first end of the manipulative body. The hand tool further includes a supply channel for supplying,the abrasive stream to the operative head from a supply stream source, and an evacuating channel for evacuating the removed skin surface and used abrasive stream from the operative head to an evacuating means, both of said channels extending within and along the manipulative body and each having first and second extremities located respectively at the first and second ends of the manipulative body.

Abstract: A clamping device for controlling rotation of a chair about a support shaft of a base frame and the chair associated thereto. The clamping device includes a mounting block, clamping components, and calibrating components. The mounting block is securely affixed to a bottom portion of the chair and has first and second channels transversely connected to one another inside the mounting block. The mounting block is pivotably mountable onto a portion of the support shaft and is allowed to rotate thereabout. This portion is insertable into the first channel of the mounting block. The clamping components are mounted into the second channel of the mounting block and are operatively connected to the support shaft for clamping the same. The calibrating components are operatively connected to the clamping components for adjusting the extent with which the clamping components clamp the support shaft. The present clamping device provides a wide range of adjustable positions without any backlash.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a claw-type magneto-electric rotor. The claw type rotor comprising magnetic material parts forming the poles of the rotor and amagnetic material parts separating the poles of opposite polarity confined in a hollow cylindrical casing in the shape of a body of revolution, wherein the casing is made from an amagnetic material. The method includes a step of filling the hollow cylinder with the magnetic material parts and amagnetic material parts and a step of isostatic compression of the combination of these parts and the hollow casing cylinder. Each magnetic or amagnetic material part is made from a plurality of nested, independent, matched and coaxial tube elements each having lateral edges, transverse ends and a lateral face having the exterior shape of the corresponding radial thickness of the magnetic or amagnetic material part concerned.

Abstract: A residential trash disposal apparatus for conducting waste material from a kitchen area within a building and depositing the same in a receptacle exteriorly of the building. The container is provided with a cover member having a tubular sleeve projecting upwardly therefrom and which is telescopically and slidably received over the vertical discharge leg of a chute which is connected by means of a curved bend to a horizontal inlet leg of a chute which passes through the building wall and communicates with the kitchen area. By raising the cover member vertically until the upper rim of the sleeve binds against the curved juncture region between the vertical and horizontal legs, the cover member becomes frictionally locked in its raised position so that sufficient clearance is afforded for withdrawal of the container for emptying and replacement purposes.
