Abstract:
Apparatus for the control of the sight on a direct-sighted weapon which in respect of at least one axis of rotation of the sight electromechanically coupled to the weapon, whereby the weapon operator manually acts upon the orientation of the optical line of sight by integration of the control speeds, and where difference angles corresponding to the fire-control values calculated by the computer of the weapon can be introduced between the sight line and the axis of the weapon, and signals from reference elements on the weapon are made use of for the determination of difference angles between the actual position and the desired position.
Abstract:
An optical compensation device precompensates optical aberrations which are not rotational-symmetrical but symmetrical in relation to two or more perpendicular, possibly equiangularly turned planes through the optical axis. Such aberrations develop in optical systems in which an optical image is being scanned in two dimensions by means of two or more prisms which during the scanning operation rotate around axes perpendicular to each other and to the optical axis. At least two cylinder lenses the axes of which coincide with the optical axis, which lenses are spaced a short distance relative to the focal length of the lenses and which are positioned symmetrically relative to the plane of symmetry of the aberrative images or one or more pairs of perpendicularly crossed lenses, both lenses in one pair having the same refractive power, the axes of which lenses coincide with the optical axis and are mutually spaced a short distance relative to the focal length of the lenses, effect the precompensation operation. One or more rotational-symmetrical lenses generate arbitrary refractive power and corrects rotational-symmetrical aberrations of the image.
Abstract:
As a permanently implantable fixture means for prosthesis and the like in a human body, especially for implanting a dental prosthetic structure, a means composed by at least two parts has been proposed for attaching the prosthetic structure to bone tissue. A first part of the attachment unit is intended to be applied in such a way in the bone tissue that it will remain embedded in said tissue during all of the time required for healing the damage which occurs when the first part is attached to the bone and while the bone tissue grows into the attachment, and a second part of the attachment unit, serving as mounting unit for the prosthetic structure and so shaped that it may be attached to the first part of the attachment unit and pass through such weak tissue covering the bone tissue. The mounting unit is intended to combine the attachment unit inserted into the bone tissue with a prosthetic structure located outside of the weak tissue. Such permanently implantable attachment means have been used for permanently attaching dental prosthetic structure to the jawbone in human bodies. The jawbones rather often have a narrow crosssection, and the longitudinal direction of the cross-section may be diverge sharply at different parts of the same jaw and/or the same jawbone but especially between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. This, among other reasons, results in so-called over-bite or under-bite, respectively. As the attachment units must, for technical reasons, be well centered in the jawbone, the longitudinal directions of the attachment units will not always be in alignment mutually in the same jaw, nor between the upper jaw and the lower jaw. This is a serious disadvantage, because the longitudinal direction of the teeth in the prosthetic structure should be in alignment with the longitudinal direction of the attachment unit. A compromise between these demands either a weak or completely unsatisfactory attachment in the jawbone or non-aligned prosthetic structure. Therefore, there is a need for an attachment means of the kind indicated above, in which the said first part attached to the jawbone may form an angle with the said second part to which the prosthetic structure is attached.
Abstract:
A breathing valve having a housing comprising an inlet chamber in communication with which is an inlet opening controlled by an inlet valve, a passage to the breathing organs of the user and an exhalation valve. A control diaphragm subject on one side to the pressure in the inlet chamber acts through an intermediate member to control the inlet valve. An overpressure valve on the side of the control diaphragm across from the inlet chamber receives fluid through the exhalation valve and when the pressure in the overpressure chamber builds up it causes the control diaphragm to open the inlet valve. Springs act on the two diaphragms urging them towards the inlet valve opened position, thereby setting a predetermined pressure value in the overpressure chamber. With this structure, an overpressure is created in the inlet chamber during both inhalation and exhalation.
Abstract:
An arrangement for indicating failures in the three-phase voltage supply for a gyro motor of the induction type includes a servo motor connected in parallel with the gyro motor for controlling movement of an indicator vane. The servo motor includes a pair of windings which are respectively connected between a common phase and each of the remaining phases of the three-phase supply. These windings produce a torque which acts in opposition to the torque produced by a spring which normally biases the vane into a failure-indicating position.

The disc has a thermal inertia such that sufficient heat is retained at all pockets, which have passed out of the immediate influence of said heat means, whereby to effect a simultaneous evaporation from all pockets.
Abstract:
A rotation-sensitive pumping device for pumping liquid from one part of a centrifuge to another during rotation thereof comprises a diaphragm mounted on the centrifuge rotor and moveable from one position to another as a function of rotor speed to pump the liquid. The diaphragm is disposed at an angle between two rotating chambers of the centrifuge and, at a given angular velocity of the rotor, the diaphragm is moved by centrifugal force from one position to the other to pump the liquid from one chamber to the other. The diaphragm may include two flexible diaphragms separated by a cavity filled with a fluid. A partition wall may be located in the space between the diaphragms forming cavities between the partition wall and each diaphragm. An aperture is provided in the partition wall for the passage of fluid between the two cavities on motion of the diaphragms.
Abstract:
A pressure gauge comprises a housing, a main chamber in the housing partly filled with a liquid and a body floating in the liquid. A portion of the body extends through an opening in the housing. A fluid to be measured is introduced into the chamber above the liquid and its pressure is exerted on the surface of the liquid thus causing the body to assume a floated position. A scale is provided outside the housing and the position of the body, and thus the pressure in the measuring chamber, is indicated by the position of the body portion relative to the scale.

In operation, the gripping jaws are pivoted inwardly into a position wherein inwardly extending shoulders thereof surround and engage an external shoulder on the torch head, the mounting sleeve then being tightened onto the torch body so that positive, secure gripping of the torch head is effected.
Abstract:
A centrifuge comprises a rotating chamber containing a compressible container for the liquid to be centrifuged. The centrifuge also includes means to compress the container to transfer liquid from the container during centrifugation. The compressing means is also capable of compressing one or more further compressible containers to transfer liquid therefrom to the first-mentioned compressible container. The compressing means is preferably a diaphragm member which is urged by centrifugal force against a compressible container. In one application, the container is filled with blood to be centrifuged and, after the serum is separated, a valve is opened permitting the diaphragm to compress the container to transfer the serum to a further container. The valve is then closed and speed reduced until the diaphragm returns to its rest position causing compression of a still further container provided with wash water. A valve is then opened to permit transfer of some or all of the wash water into the first-mentioned container and the device may then be braked to cause the water to mix with the blood cells therein. The washed blood cells are then centrifuged and the water transferred to the water container or yet a still further container by the actuation of an appropriate valve similarly as in the case of transferring the serum. The washing operation is repeated if desired until all of the wash water has been utilized.
