The battery has a hollow cylindrically designed sealing plug (1) screwed securely in a tubular opening (4) of a top lid (3) of the battery. The plug extends with its lower end until it reaches a tubular opening (7) of a lower lid (6). Each cell has ventilation openings to one of the gas collection spaces. A first ventilation opening is formed by an annular gap (11, 12) between the plug wall and th...

A cam follower (150) includes a radially inner arcuate bearing surface that matches the curvature of the outer surface (112) of the cam. Engagement of this bearing surface with the surface of the cam opposes undesired motion of the cam follower (150), including motion radially away from the cam, about a n axis perpendicular to the cam rotation axis, and/or about an axis parallel t o the cam rotat...

A microcentrifuge apparatus has a plurality of rotors (232) for simultaneous ly spinning a plurality of samples; a retainer for retaining each of the rotors (232) on a bearing surface; and at least one source of motive power (240), coupled to the rotors by a coupling means, for causing each of the rotors to spin at substantially the same rate. The source of motive power (240) can be a motor, en...

An automated conveyance system moves green tires (24) with monorail carriers (18) to tire molding presses (40). Each monorail carrier (18) deposits a green tire (24) into an elevator system (31) which, in turn, transfers the green tire to within reach of a press loader (38) for tire press (40). The elevator system (31) also provides a buffer storage for the tires in process. In one embodiment, the...
