The tyre (1) has a tread (2) with incisions (3a, 3b) which run axially (and partially circumferentially, i.e. diagonally), at least over the shoulders. The corrugations are formed such that wave crests and valleys are essentially straight. Overall, they form two subsets. In the first subset, the peaks and valleys are orientated such that moving radially outwards in the transverse plane along the i...

CONSTITUTION:A cutting body 17 is constituted of a blade body 14 for all cuttings and a blade body 11 to form a perforation, which are combined with each other, and the blade body 11 to form a performation is fixed on a main body 13, and at the same time, the blade body...

PURPOSE:To prevent malfunctioning because of hunting of a float and a solid of a heat medium by providing an expansion tank in the course of an outgoing pipe to a heat exchanger to store the heat medium and the float and a replenishing port of the heat medium on a second expansion tank which is connected to a first expansion tank through a small pipe. CONSTITUTION:A heat exchanger 22 and a solar h...

PURPOSE:To secure a minimum required cooling steam flow rate by selecting the higher value signal out of a control signal according to a deviation between a cooling steam requiring value and a cooling steam flow rate signal, and a control signal according to a deviation between a steam pressure setting signal and a cooling steam pressure signal, and thereby controlling a cooling steam adjusting me...

The device has a clustered blast air source, e.g. a nozzle or a thin blower tube (10), located in front of the front edge of the delivery stack (2). Air is directed onto the front edge, below the sheet lifter (9). Air supply to the blower tube is coupled to the control of front edge stops (8) and sheet lifters. After the front edge stops have been folded down, an air jet (S) is directed onto the a...

An apparatus for the cutting and creasing of plastics material sheet is disclosed which comprises a cutting and creasing tool (12) and a corresponding plate (10) arranged for mutual contact characterised in that the plate (10) is free of raised surfaces and is covered with a plastic material (22), preferably nylon. Additionally, an apparatus for preheating corrugated plastics sheet material (23) i...

A multiple sensor smoke detector includes at least an ionization and a photoelectric sensor. Outputs from the sensors are fed to circuitry for generating continuously variable coefficients. One coefficient corresponds to each sensor output. Respective coefficients and sensor outputs are multiplied in multiplier circuitry to produce processed outputs. The processed outputs are combined in a summing...

Rough machining of a glass-ceramic material article such as a radome (20) is accomplished using a high-power Nd:YAG laser (60, 64). The radome (20) is rotated about its longitudinal axis (28), and the point of application of the laser beam (62) is translated generally parallel to the longitudinal axis (28) over either the inside (32) or outside (30) surface of the radome (20). The Nd:YAG laser (60...

An insulated structure such as the door of a refrigeration appliance (Figure 7) is formed in one operation by simultaneously vacuum forming two layers of plastics material 7, 8 against respective tools 12, 13, which layers provide inner and outer skins of the structure, and bringing the tools together with such a force that material is displaced from the peripheral seam, in order to provide an int...

The present invention relates to an apparatus based on a pressurized water flotation method (DAF), in which dispersion water and the water to be treated, e.g. flocculated water, are supplied to a reaction space (1), in which they encounter and react with each other.
