Abstract: A phone, particularly an ear phone, is provided that features two transducer housings (41, 42) and a flexible head strap (43). The head strap (43) is pre-shaped in such a way that it is coiled up and has at least one turn in its relaxed and unworn state. In this way, the phone can be stowed in a space-saving fashion when it is not worn.

Abstract: There is provided an under-chin band headphone set comprising two earpiece bands (OB) and two earplugs (OS) which are respectively secured to an ear-side end (OB1) of the two earpiece bands (OB). A respective ball joint (K) is provided at the ear-side end (OB1) of the earpiece bands (OB) in such a way that a first end of the ball joint (K) is arranged movably at the ear-side end (OB1) of the earpiece band (OB) and the second end of the ball joint (K) serves to receive the earplugs (OS).

Abstract: There is provided an in-ear earphone having an electroacoustic transducer and at least one support element which is coupled to the transducer. That makes it possible to achieve two-point anchorage for the earpiece in the outer ear, wherein the transducer represents the first anchorage and the support element represents the second anchorage.

Abstract: Methods and questionnaires are provided for assessing pain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst system based on monoazadiene metal complexes of the formula ##STR1## and a co-catalyst suitable for activating the metal complex, and to the use of the catalyst system for the polymerization of unsaturated compounds, especially for the polymerization and copolymerization of olefins and/or dienes.The novel catalyst system is characterised in particular by its ease of access, its lack of sensitivity to external influences and its ease of handling.

Abstract: To measure absolute rotations in several directions in space with the aid of interferometers, one interferometer is required for each direction in space. According to the invention, it is proposed to supply a device consisting of several interferometers from a common light source and to switch only the phase modulation impressed on the light rather than the light paths, using time-division multiplexing. The output signals from the interferometers are detected and evaluated with a single detector and evaluating unit.

Abstract: A dishwasher having spray arm, motor and pump components configured and mounted so as to occupy very low height. In one form the complete wash system is arranged as a drawer which slides in and out of a cabinet. The cabinet opening is stiffened against racking forces by incorporating an inverse portal frame in the opening flange. A synchronous AC motor is used with the rotor running within the wash chamber driving a wash pump integrated with a rotating spray arm.

Abstract: To improve the stability and optical transmission properties of an optical waveguide module (1), a fillet-shaped supporting body (12, 13, 13') is used to hold the end (15) of a fiber, particularly of a polarization-maintaining fiber. The top side of the supporting body contains a groove (14) which extends in the direction of the body's longitudinal axis and in which the fiber end (15) is completely sunk and embedded in adhesive. After proper alignment, polished end faces of the fiber and the supporting body (12, 13, 13') are attached to the substrate (2) with adhesive.

Abstract: An electric valve is provided for control of a fluid between a fluid source 9, a user 10 and a fluid removal. A valve member 2 configured as hollow cylinder is axially adjustable in an input opening 8 connected continuously with a pressure medium and blocked against a pressure medium outlet opening 18 housing. Its one edge surrounds an opening connected with the outlet opening 18. Its second edge 31 works with a valve seat arranged axially parallel to an air removal opening 30 and surrounds a second valve seat in a flow passage 34. A setting member 3 cooperates with this valve seat which counters a return force.

Abstract: The object of the invention is a force-controlled pressure regulating valve, wherein large flow areas can be opened in valves in a simple manner and likewise can be closed, using small operating forces and short setting paths. A valve member 2 is axially adjustable in a housing which is in permanent connection with a pressure medium inlet opening 8 and is blocked against a pressure medium output opening 18. Valve member 2 is configured as a hollow cylinder. Its one edge surrounds an opening leading to the output opening 18, and its other edge cooperates with a valve seat coaxial with a venting opening 20, and surrounds a second valve seat in the cover of valve member 2. A setting member 3 cooperates with this valve seat, which transmits the setting force for the valve member. This setting force counters a check force.

Abstract: The "cleaning-out" capability of a flat combing machine is increased by decreasing the distance between the jaw of the tong of the flat comber and the points of the opposed rows of needles on the round comber to a minimum distance and keeping this minimum distance constant. The needles are arranged on the round comber such that the radius of the needle points of the rows of needles lying side by side to the pivot of the round comber decreases, then increases, counter to the direction of rotation of the round comber. The tong is suspended by a pendulum and the distance between the pivot of the pendulum and the axis of the round comber is less than the sum of the maximum radius needle points to the pivot of the round comber, plus the minimum distance from the jaw of the tong to the needle points, plus the radius of the jaw of the tong to the pivot of the pendulum.
