Continuous jetting of liquid metal droplets for deposit on a substrate includes an ejector, a deflection device, a print chute, and a collection reservoir. Liquid metal from a cartridge in the ejector provides a continuous molten material stream through an orifice-defining structure while a vibration device creates a standing wave in the stream to break the molten material stream into individual d...

The invention concerns a tyre tread comprising, over at least a lateral part and radially inside said tread running surface (38) a plurality of cavities (36, 39) oriented almost transversely and emerging on at least one of the tread edges, said cavities being designed to form notches and indentations emerging radially towards the running tread outer part after wear ranging between 15 % and 45 % of...

A composition is prepared for the manufacture of a foam material based on phenolic resin comprising components for the manufacture of a phenolic resin, acid material and carbonate containing material, in which the carbonate containing material comprises at least one element having a valency greater than one.; L'invention se rapporte à une composition préparée dans le but de fabriquer un matériau a...

A process for producing a polyester film having a high strength and a high modulus of elasticity, which comprises preparing a polyester resin composition comprising, adding to a polyester resin, 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyester resin, of an additive compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the general formula (I): and c...

Said use is characterized in that the cited membranes are placed adequately in the dropper of the dose dispensor and are used to achieve the selective flow of essentially all the active product and the selective retention of essentially all the preservative during pharmacological treatment. The membrane (5) is coupled between the cylinder units (6 and 7) of parts (3 and 4) of the dropper, remainin...

Aromatic amines of formula (I) where R1 is C1-C10 alkyl or halogen and n is an integer from 0 to 3 are affective in increasing the motor octane number of aviation gasolines to 98 or greater without the presence of lead additives.

The securing method is used to secure a movable work site (12) on a road or carriageway, especially a directional road with several lanes. At least one traffic device (16,18) for signalling the work site and/or for partly blocking the road, e.g. a drivable barrier board, is arranged in a predetermined area of the road a distance from the work site and a work vehicle (14). The traffic device is mov...

The method involves temporally and locally offset individual location measurements from which confidence intervals (VIP1,VIP2,VIPn) are updated. A predetermined minimum number of individual confidence intervals lead up to a reference point (tb). Maximal upper and lower limits of all intervals form the boundaries of a safety-relevant interval (SVIPb). The vehicle's actual position is obtained with ...

The method involves forming confidence intervals ( DELTA A1, DELTA A2) of preferably equal likelihood for individual pseudo-distances (A1,A2). The pseudo-distances are determined by individual transmitters (S1,S2). A place- and time-specific confidence polyhedron (EBK) is built up from the confidence intervals. Sectional volumes of the polyhedron are formed by virtual tubes surrounding space curve...

A hole (3) reinforced by a cladding layer (4) in the insulating filling (2) made of foam on a latex/ plastics/leather base matches the shape of the key blade (6). The hole may be in the side or top and is formed by a slit (1) in the hard rubber sheath (1), insulating filling and cladding layer. The fastening mechanism has a handle (5) made from a strap or belt and held in the hole.
