Abstract: A wiring harness and a touch sensor incorporating same are disclosed. The touch sensor includes a sensing electrode disposed in a touch sensitive area. The touch sensor further includes a plurality of auxiliary electrodes disposed on a self-supporting dielectric substrate in a border area. The auxiliary electrodes transmit a touch signal to electronics configured to use the touch signal to determine the touch location.

Abstract: An orbital implant includes a body of bioactive material having macropores of at least 400 ?m, and a cap of bioactive material having substantially no pores or only micropores smaller than 50 ?m. The cap covers a portion of the body.

Abstract: A touch sensor and a method of sensing are disclosed. The touch sensor includes a self-supporting flexible glass layer disposed on a conductive film. The touch sensor further includes electrical circuitry configured to detect a signal induced by capacitive coupling between the conductive film and a touch input applied to the flexible glass layer.

Abstract: An artefact which is suitable for use as an implant is provided. The artefact includes a body having at least an outer surface layer of a calcium phosphate-based material. The outer surface layer has a surface area of at least 1,5m2/g. A plurality of micropores are provided in at least the outer surface layer of the body. The micropores have a maximum dimension of up to about 150 ?m.

Abstract: A system for separating multiphase fluid flow having a separator which allows the gaseous phase to separate from the oil and water phases. The separator includes a vertical component, through which the multiphase fluid rises with the fluid phases becoming annular to separate from the gaseous phase and flow to the base of the separator.

Abstract: There are described dye mixtures containinga) an azo dye of the formula I ##STR1## where Hal is chlorine or bromine, b) the azo dye of the formula II ##STR2## where L is allyl or optionally hydrogen, and c) an azo dye of the formula III and/or IV ##STR3## where R.sup.1 is nitro or substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkylsulfonyl,R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each hydrogen, chlorine or bromine,R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each hydrogen or chlorine,R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are each hydrogen, phenyl or substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl,X.sup.1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, methoxy, acetylamino or nitro,X.sup.2, X.sup.3, X.sup.4 and X.sup.5 are each hydrogen, methyl or methoxy, andX.sup.6 is hydroxyl, 2-hydroxyethoxy, formyl or methoxycarbonylamino,dye preparations containing the novel dye mixtures, and the use of the novel dye mixtures for dyeing or printing polyesters in textile form.

Abstract: A rotary/linear convertor which comprises a first member may be in the form of a piston (14, 15, 16, 17, 114, 115, 116, 117) and a guide which is preferably in the form of a cylinder (12, 112) the first member being arranged for linear movement within or along the guide and a second member (23, 24, 137) which is adapted for rotational movement. The convertor further includes connecting means operatively connecting the first and second members so that the respective linear or rotational movement of one member causes the respective linear or rotational movement of the other member.

Abstract: A process for removing oligomer deposits from dyed and non-dyed textile materials which consist of polyester fibers or of blends of these fibers with other fibers, and from dyeing machinery, by a treatment with an aqueous, alkaline liquor which contains from 0.1 to 10 g/l of a quaternary ammonium compound carrying not less than two C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 -alkyl or -alkenyl groups on the quaternary nitrogen, at up to 100.degree. C. The oligomers are hydrolyzed and are removed together with the treatment liquor.

Abstract: A fluid operated device comprises a cylinder, a piston movable axially therein, a shaft parallel to the axis of the cylinder and coupling means coupling the piston and cylinder and/or the piston and shaft in such a way that axial reciprocation of the piston causes rotation of the cylinder and/or the shaft.
