A thermosetting elastomeric component 1 and a thermoplastics component 3, such as a seal and a carrier eg. for use in making a sealed pipe joint, are separately formed, assembled as required and then secured together, before use, by application of heat to the thermoplastics component to melt and bond a surface portion of that component to an adjacent surface portion of the other component. Prefera...

EN UNA COLOCACION A TIRAS DE MATERIAL EN BANDA, EL MATERIAL (1) EN BANDA SITUADA ENTRE UNA CAPA (3) SOPORTE Y UNA CAPA (2) DE CUBIERTA SE PREPARA PRIMERAMENTE EN UNA ESTACION (4) DE CORTE Y A CONTINUACION SE COLOCA POR UN CABEZAL (11) DE COLOCACION. EN LA ESTACION (4) DE CORTE EL MATERIAL (2) EN BANDA RETIRADO DE UN RODILLO (18) EXPENDEDOR SEGUN RECEPCION DE LA CAPA (2) DE CUBIERTA Y SIN UNA SEPAR...

An arrangement for the non-stop changing of stacks in the curved arm of a printing machine, comprises a stack carrier which can be pushed in the advancing direction between two separate sections, and a separating unit which supports the upper section until the carrier (4) reaches its insertion position. A holding unit (3) prevents the upper section from moving due to the carrier. The separating un...

High powered lasers are used to score the bark on logs before they are mechanically debarked. Typical of the lasers employed are multi-kilowatt CO2 industrial lasers. A high powered laser beam is brought to a focus just above the surface of the bark on the log. A jet of compressed air is blown coaxially with the beam and facilitates the beam's formation of a narrow slot in the surface of the bark....

Method and apparatus for re-forming walled thermoplastics members including pipe (12) as re-lining of worn-out pipeline (20) by heating (14) to soften throughout wall thickness without melting, and re-sizing/re-shaping by fluid pressure (16). Infrared heating radiation (14) and progressive change of thermoplastics (polyethylene) from absorptive to useful transparency at or near crystalline melt (b...

The invention concerns a lead-acid battery having all the surfaces of all the electrodes under high pressure and their circumferences kept unchanged by support from mechanically rigid cell walls such that only the thickness of the electrodes is allowed to expand under strong resilient load during the discharge and return during charge. The pressure is 0,49 -10<5> - 9,81 -10<5> Pa (0.5-10 kp/cm<2>)...

The decanting centrifuge has a rotating bowl(8) driven, via a pulley(5) mounted on a drive shaft(6) and a reduction gear(7), by a principal electric motor(1). The bowl(8) surrounds a screw(7) which is rotated via second and third shafts(10,16), coaxial with the shaft(6),driven by a secondary electric motor(9). Mounted between the secondary electric motor(9) and the reduction gear(7) is a module wh...

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur formatabhängigen Einstellung der Abschnittlänge im Auslagebereich einer Rotationsdruckmaschine mit oder ohne Einrichtung für den Non-Stop-Berieb sowie mit Anschlägen für die Hinterkante der auszulgenden Bogen. In einer in horizontaler Richtung (20) verschiebbar angeordneten Rahmenstruktur (10, 11, 27, 32) ist ein senkrecht zur Bogentransportricht...

Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme flächiger Druckprodukte mit einem zwischen Seitenwänden eines Bogenauslegers angeordneten absenkbaren Hilfsstapelrahmen (13). Der an seinen Eckpunkten (28) an Hubmitteln (36) angelenkte Hilfsstapelrahmen (13) nimmt ein verfahrbares Hilfsstapelaufnahmeelement (19) auf, welches vom Hilfsstapelrahmen (13) vollständig umfaßt wird. Die Länge des Hilfsstapelrahmens (13) in Papie...

Um bei einem teilweise niedergebrannten zu schmelzenden Gut (5) in einem Lichtbogenofen (1) eine Schädigung der Innenwände des Lichtbogenofens (1) und ein Zurücknehmen der elektrischen Leistung zu vermeiden, werden während dieser kritischen Schmelzphase Zuschlagstoffe (10) mittels eines Schüttgutförderers (25) der Einfüllöffnung einer Hohlelektrode (7) zugeführt. Dadurch verkürzt sich ein Lichtbog...

An automatic transmission control system including a hydraulic pressure control circuit which supplied locking and unlocking pressure to selectively lock and unlock the selected friction coupling elements so as to change a torque transmission path in the transmission gear mechanism and thereby to provide desired gears, a specific one of which is achieved by locking and unlocking simultaneously spe...

In the case of a process for making a container, such as for example a can or tube for receiving a product, after making the container its inside is primed. A coating is applied to this primer in a layer thickness of 30-70 mu , a plastic, preferably a polyolefin or the like, being used as coating.

Compositions and methods are provided for endopeptidase production and for enhanced efficiencies of processing heterologous precursor polypeptides to mature polypeptides, including proteins requiring gamma-carboxylation for biological activity.
