An automated warehouse facility for improving the working efficiency of workers. The facility comprises a control system in which a file for working is provided in which codes are recorded for identifying articles to be received or issued, code signals each corresponding to articles retrieved from the aforesaid file and automated warehouse working mode signals are input, article-storing spaces of ...

The invention provides polymer compositions comprising a dispersion of at least one polymer obtained by polymerisation of at least one olefinically unsaturated compound, which polymer contains aliphatic hydrocarbon side chains of at least 10 carbon atoms, in a continuous liquid phase comprising a surfactant and at least one liquid polyol; a process for the preparation of the compositions; and thei...

A tubular film for encasing food. The tubular film comprises a material whic h has been regenerated from a solution of cellulose in a solvent comprising ca rbon disulfide. The tubular material is longitudinally stretched by from 8 to 30 percent and transversely stretched by from -3 to +10 percent while wet and the stretch i s maintained during drying, said transverse stretch being less than 75 per...

The reaction time and ease of handling of reactants in the known process of forming optically active (S)-cyanohydrins by reacting aldehydes with hydrocyanic acid in the presence of the enzyme S-oxynitrilase and a solvent may be significantly improved over the known methods when the solution of aldehydes and acid is passed through a porous membrane comprising a polymeric resinous binder having fine...

An arrangement for disc brakes for motor vehicles, which comprise a power actuator (7) attached to the outside of the brake yoke (1) and which have a pressure bar (10) which extends through a through-going opening in the brake yoke and interacts with an end (47) of a lever (13) which is part of a power transmission (8) between the power device and the brake lining units, where the end (47) is arra...

An image magnifying and pick-up system including a lighting light-guide device for guiding illuminating light to the surface of an observed portion of a specimen. The device includes a light-guide cap (6) mounted at the front end of a lens tube (2). The light-guide cap (6) includes an outer surface adapted to be abutted against the surface of the specimen, so that illuminating light from optical f...

A device for identifying cells as either conforming or non-conforming in a cell-based transmission system, which includes an n-bit word-length counter having an input coupled to a source of clock pulses, a parallel n-bit word-length gate coupled to a parallel output of the n-bit word-length counter and having a gate input coupled to a source of cell arrival signals. A processor is coupled to an ou...

The machine has a chassis with an angled roller brush (13). The brush bristles (17,20) are angled outwards relative to the side of the brush in the area of its end (19), which projects over the shape of the chassis (1). This forms a truncated cone-shaped end face (21) for the brush. The bearing (19) for the brush on the bearing arm (9) of the chassis is located within that end face. The bearing ar...

14 A system of temporarily covering the wall of a building; a signage surface, billboard, glass store front and the like, particularly, a side of a vehicle, with text, artwork, logos and the like, particularly advertisement matter. The assembly comprises in combination, a substrate having a substantially planar surface; a cover to cover the substrate surface in whole or in part; retaining the cove...

Disclosed is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery including a negative electrode prepared by coating a substrate with a slurry comprising a carbon material, an alkali metal salt of carboxymethylcellulose, and a styrene-butadiene rubber and drying it, the alkali metal salt accounting for 0.5-2 weight % of the total weight of the carbon material, styrenebutadiene rubber, and CMC alkali metal s...

A thin film forming method and apparatus is provided, wherein a negative voltage is applied alternately to a target (6) and a substrate (8) to perform film formation and reverse sputter alternately. Further, a coil (5) is mounted between the target and the substrate and a high frequency current (3) is made to flow therethrough to generate plasma. A negative base voltage smaller in absolute value t...
