Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) and related aspects.

Abstract: The compounds of the invention are modulators of the Factor XII (e.g. Factor XIIa). In particular, the compounds are inhibitors of Factor XIIa and may be useful as anticoagulants.

Abstract: Piloted electromagnetic brake for controlling the tension of the weft threads in weaving machines, in particular of a weft thread which has a high number of knots, of the type including a pair of opposite elastic thin plates between which the weft thread runs, an operated thin plate being adjusted in position by an electromagnetically controlled operating piston, and a resisting thin plate being resistant against an elastic contrast unit, in order to control the intensity of the contrast force between the pair of thin plates. The resisting thin plate and the operated thin plate have fulcrum points in correspondence of a central portion thereof, so as to be able to freely oscillate in a plane containing the weft thread, during the passage of a knot between them, and the fulcrum points are offset by a set length along the weft thread running direction.

Abstract: Group of optic sensors (S) in a weft feeder, in particular for weaving looms, comprising one or more pairs of emitting sensors (E) and receiving sensors (R) arranged on a portion of the weft feeder (C) which extends laterally to the drum (T) of the weft feeder whereon the coils of the weft thread are wound, so as to form optic radiation going-paths from each of said emitting sensors (E) to a reflecting surface (9) provided on said drum (T) and optic radiation back-paths, from said reflecting surface (9) to corresponding receiving sensors (R), for detecting the presence/absence of a thread which crosses said paths. The optic sensors (E, R) are of the SMT type and are wired on a printed-circuit board (8) with an optic axis parallel to the plane of said board (8). A first group of total-reflection mirrors (V), one for each pair of emitting/receiving sensors (E, R), is inclined so as to deviate the optic radiation from the plane of the board (8) to a plane perpendicular to or inclined with respect to the same.

Abstract: A fluid coupling assembly having a first and second metal tube, each tube having an outwardly flared end. A first connector includes a throughbore, a first end and a second end with a radially inwardly extending rim at the first end of the first connector. The first connector is disposed over the first tube so that the tube extends outwardly from the first end of the first connector and so that the rim registers with one side of the first tube. A second connector also includes a throughbore with a first and second end and in which the second end of the second connector is flared outwardly. The second connector is disposed over the second tube so that the second tube extends outwardly from the first end of the second connector and so that the second connector flared surface registers with one side of the second tube flared end. An annular seal member is longitudinally slidably mounted within the first connector throughbore.
