Shape of constituent parts of mixed and composite waste fragments are changed by mechanically induced shock wave treatment, causing metal residues to be permanently deformed into rounded lumps, while plastics tend to resume original shape. The difference in shapes then allows the fragments to be separated. A typical separator comprises a liquid filled, annular processing chamber (28) with walls (...

A clip for holding two ends of a flat surgical cable includes an outer portion with female threads and an inner male portion having mating male threads.

The method involves determining an angular position and mass of an unbalance on a rotating table (2) based on predefined rotation speed and signal supplied by a position sensor (26) and acceleration sensor (29). The speed of the table is reduced to bring the table to an angular position determined for balancing mass. A balancing container (6) is filled with a balancing product with mass equal to f...

The invention aims at preventing a clutch as a frictional engagement element from being damaged and ensuring a driver of the operation feeling even if an accelerator pedal is depressed when an automatic transmission is shifted from its driven state to its non-driven state. If a neutral position has been selected and if an accelerator has been depressed, an ECT_ECU performs normal control before th...
