A junction box includes inputs and outputs, and electronic elements for distributing electric power, received at an input from a power source of a vehicle, to the outputs to provide power to loads of the vehicle which are connected to the outputs. The electronic elements include semiconductor switches operable for distributing the power to the loads via the outputs. A first controller controls operating conditions of the switches and adjusts operative cycles of the switches to the number and typ...

The invention relates to a product to permit separation of cells in the domain of immunopurification and consisting of a finely divided carrier of a density lower than that of the medium from which such cells must be extracted, such carrier being covered with macromolecules capable of being specifically fixed to the cells to be extracted to which a privileged orientation was given to enable fixation of such macromolecules.

A method in which pattern elements with predetermined wall profiles and/or lateral shapes, differing from the shapes of the respective pattern elements in an irradiation mask which is used, are formed in a photoresist layer. The method comprises a modification of a conventional photolithographic process, where a substrate supporting the photoresist layer is shifted laterally relative to the mask or the mask image in a continuous mode or in steps during exposure. Also disclosed is an apparatus wh...

An impact damping system for application to sport shoes having a hollow housing of flexible elastomeric material which is softer and more resilient than the insole material of the sport shoe which it is to be removably placed in a cavity in the heel area of the shoe. The inner and outer surfaces of the housing side which are smooth and homogeneous, and there is a top cover with an overhang lip which rests on the insole. One or more replaceable damping discs are inserted into the housing and are ...

A thermal printing mechanism comprises a frame accommodating a motor for driving a print tape, a thermal printing head, a carrying roller and electronic control means. The frame is provided with a metal stiffening plate substantially extending along the length thereof, acting as a support for the motor, on which plate it is fixed by means of welding in order to form means for dissipating the heat. Said plate is also used as a support for pushing the spring for the printing head towards the carry...
