The invention relates to a method for improving the selectivity of a polymer film gas sensor. According to the method, the gas sensor (6) is heated and a sensor parameter sensitive to the variable under measurement is recorded. According to the invention, the parameter of the sensor (6) sensitive to the variable under measurement is measured at a plurality of instants during both the heating perio...

A method of measuring fiber while being processed by a fiber processing machine, includes the following steps: measuring the length of fiber at an inlet of the fiber processing machine; measuring the length of fiber at an outlet of the fiber processing machine; and forming a difference between the values measured at the inlet and the values measured at the outlet for determining an extent of short...

A carding machine includes a main carding cylinder having a cylinder axis and a cylinder clothing; and traveling flats cooperating with the main carding cylinder along a circumferential length portion thereof. The traveling flats include a plurality of flat bars each having a flat bar clothing cooperating with the cylinder clothing; and a drive for moving the flat bars in unison in an endless path...

A method of measuring fiber material while being processed by fiber processing components of a carding machine, includes the following steps: measuring fiber length and nep number at an outlet of the carding machine; applying measured values of the fiber length and nep number to a control and regulating device; forming, in the control and regulating device, optimized machine setting data for the f...

A method of combusting a fuel, and a combustion plant are proposed. The combustion plant comprises a first circuit (1) with a gasifying reactor (3) to produce a combustible gas and a degassed, combustible rest product from the fuel. The combustible gas is supplied to a first combustion chamber (6) and there it is combusted while forming combustion gases. First means (8, 9) are arranged to take adv...
