A device (10, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90) is used to apply an electric pulse or spike to a patient to treat the patient. The device can have a series of preset treatments programmed therein. A user can select a treatment from menus displayed on a display (100). The impedance of the skin and underlying tissue to be treated can be measured prior to the treatment to locate active areas on the skin for treatment. The impedance measurement can be made at a sufficiently low level to avoid treatment of the patient that could cause a change in the impedance. A phase detector can be used to isolate the capacitance value in the impedance. The charge delivered to the patient can be measured and the device can adjust the charge as the skin impedance varies during treatment to deliver uniform charges to the skin. A variety of probes can be used with the device, with the device automatically detecting the type of probe attached. Multiple electrodes can be used on the probe, which allows the active areas in contact with the probe to be identified prior to treatment to allow the treatment to concentrate on the active areas.

The invention relates to a pyrotechnic detonator with an igniter support of plastic, which bears an ignition element. A cylindrical metal housing is fastened to the igniter support, into which the ignition reaches. A booster charge is arranged in the metal housing. To improve seal tightness and lower the manufacturing costs, for mechanical support a metal insert is integrated into the igniter support, the metal insert being encased by the plastic of the igniter support.

A revolver with light-weight firing control housing includes a cylinder frame supporting a rotatable cylinder defining a plurality of cartridge-receiving chambers and a firing control housing made of a non-metallic material. The firing control housing attaches to the cylinder frame and supports firing control mechanism components, such as a trigger and a pivotable hammer actuated by the trigger. In one embodiment, the firing control housing may be made of a polymer and the cylinder frame may be metal.

A revolver with latching mechanism for swing-out type cylinder. The revolver includes a frame, a rotatable cylinder movable from a ready-to-fire position in the frame to a loading position laterally displaced outwards from the frame, and a latching member retained in the frame by a barrel insert that defines a bullet bore. In one embodiment, the latching member may be a spring-loaded plunger movable from a locked position in which the cylinder is locked in the ready-to-fire position to an unlocked position in which the cylinder is movable to the loading position. A cylinder crane pivotally mounts the cylinder in the frame and moving the plunger to the unlocked position allows the cylinder crane to be swung out laterally from the frame by a user. In one embodiment, the plunger is held in the frame by a retaining plug engaged by the barrel insert.

A holographic information recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a light pickup optical system and a recording power control unit. The light pickup optical system illuminates reference light and signal light onto an information storing medium. The recording power control unit controls the light pickup optical system such that recording power of the reference light is the same as that of signal light.

A new type of microwave applicator has been disclosed. The applicator according to an embodiment of the invention makes use of an evanescent main power-transferring mode. This evanescent mode is complemented by a second mode, which is a propagating mode that has the purpose of providing a counter-directed magnetic field in the y-direction at the horizontal, y-directed applicator wall opening. The effect of the cooperation of the two applicator modes is that the field pattern extends over a significant distance below the applicator opening, such that a load placed below the applicator opening is heated by a field pattern of the mode combination.

A revolver with light-weight firing control housing includes a cylinder frame supporting a rotatable cylinder defining a plurality of cartridge-receiving chambers and a firing control housing made of a non-metallic material. The firing control housing attaches to the cylinder frame and supports firing control mechanism components, such as a trigger and a pivotable hammer actuated by the trigger. In one embodiment, the firing control housing may be made of a polymer and the cylinder frame may be metal.

A method is disclosed for producing a multilayer paperboard product, as well as an assembly suited for implementing the method and a paperboard manufactured according to the method, whereby the paperboard is made from at least two, advantageously three layers (4, 5, 6) bonded to each other by gluing, and the material of the middle layer (5) is subjected to mechanical working in a dry state (8) so as to deform the material prior to gluing through pressing thereon desired pattern that is raised from the surface of the material (5). The layers (4, 5, 6) are bonded to each other in a single step (7). The method is capable of providing a strong paperboard that uses less fiber than prior-art paperboards of equal thickness and strength.

The invention provides a fiber rope quick connecting piece and a connection method. The connecting piece comprises a spiral fastener, an elastic fastener, a sliding key and a connector. the connector is cylindrical, an inner circle stair is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the connector, the diameter of the inner circle stair is equal to the outer diameter of a fiber rope, an internal thread is arranged at one end of the connector, the internal thread is connected with an external thread of the spiral fastener, the other end of the connector is provided with holes, and the number of the holes is equal to that of braiding strands of a fiber noose. The connecting piece is used for producing a rigging, and the fiber noose is inserted and braided, the elastic fastener is tightened first, and friction force is gradually increased along with pressing of the fiber noose. Compared with the prior art, the method can be used for quickly connecting two fiber ropes in a non-inserted and non-braided mode, the connected fiber ropes have the strength same as a fiber rope, and the fiber rope can be easily lengthened or manufactured into a rope loop. The quick connecting piece can be used for manufacturing a quick connection fiber rigging, the rigging can adjust the connection position in a large range, or a plurality of clip joints are arranged on one fiber rope.

A polymer mixture emits a broad spectrum of visible light that appears white or near-white in the aggregate. The polymer mixture comprises two (or more) components in the active layer. A heavy atom, such as platinum and/or iridium, present in the backbone of the mixture acts via a spin-orbit coupling mechanism to cause the ratio of fluorescent to phosphorescent light emission bands to be of approximately equal strength. These two broad emissions overlap. resulting in an emission spectrum that appears to the eye to be white.

A roof structure for greenhouses, which, through having a simple arrangement for improving lighting, is capable of retaining the same strength as in the conventional roof structure for greenhouses. A plurality of rafter members in the form of metal pipes of circular cross section formed in arch shape with a pipe diameter of about 30 mm to about 50 mm, are arranged in the direction of the roof ridge at intervals (P) of about 0.5m to about 1.5m. This makes it possible to simplify the construction of the aggregate constituting the roof while retaining a predetermined strength. That is, simply joining the rafter members by ridge pieces provides a sufficient strength to withstand vertical and horizontal loads applied to the roof; therefore, purlin members can be dispensed with. Further, since the construction of the housing can have a window to allow visual inspection of the internal component of the housing and to determine visually whether a filter element is installed therein.
