A nozzle assembly design and a method for making the nozzle assembly, as well as a method for controlling a continuous skull nozzle process employing the nozzle assembly are provided wherein the cooling heat transfer coefficient at the nozzle is increased to maintain a steady-state solidified layer of a noncontaminating liner material, the cooling heat transfer coefficient being increased by reduc...

The present invention consists in a connection arrangement between at least one pair of conductors that pass through respective walls (6). Each wall (6) is made of insulating material and the two walls are connected together via a peripheral sealing gasket received in a groove (7') and delimiting an empty space between the walls which is filled with dry air. The connection made in this way is smal...

A device and method for mixing blood with anticoagulant in conjunction with an autologous blood transfusion system employs a mixing tube for directing the blood to the bottom of a blood bag.

The present invention relates to several types of antimicrobial peptides including reverse antimicrobial peptides, antimicrobial oligopeptides and other antimicrobial compositions, such as cecropin P1. The present invention also relates to the use of these antimicrobial peptides to provide organisms, and, in particular, plants, with protection from microbial pathogens. Finally, the present inventi...

In a waveguide structure with diffused rare-earth doping in a light-guide channel (LK) arranged in a lithium niobate crys- tal surface (5), the rare-earth doping is arranged in an effective rare-eart h doping region (SE) approximately coaxially with the light-guide channel (LK); the light-guide channel (LK) is diffused directly from the crystal surface (S) and its expansion (W) is laterally limite...

A container is provided which is intended, in particular, for etching semiconductor wafers in a liquid bath and which contains an insert (5) having 1.1-1.9-times the diameter of a wafer (6). The insert comprises arrangements of bundles of guide bars (12) held in parallel and spaced apart at a distance of at least twice the wafer thickness by spacing bars (8). The bundles (12) of guide bars compris...

In the process for manufacturing mineral fibreboards, in which mineral fibres wetted with a binder are deposited on a conveyor device to form a mineral-fibre layer, in order to feed them to a continuous-flow oven, during conveyance the mineral-fibre layer is precompressed in thickness in front of the continuous-flow oven and subsequently is folded in length as a result of alternate bulging, the mi...

2079340 9214320 PCTABS00014 A multi-channel telephonic communications system, (PBXA-PBXD), where voice, data, facsimile information is packetized and switched to the desired destination based upon a call number embedded in each packet which is based upon the digits dialed at the source. Aswitching architecture (44) is used to minimize the trunk line resource needed and to simplify system configura...

A lift truck for carrying stacking chairs, the truck having a main frame carried on front and rear wheels and an elevating platform on the main frame and movable from a lowered inactive position to a stack lifting position. The forward end of the truck, which includes the main frame, front wheels and elevating platform, is of a width to allow the forward end to be pushed between the transverse spa...

A method for a transmission line via which message cells of a plurality of virtual connections having separately defined transmission bit rates asynchronously transmitted, wherein, depending on the transmission bit rate declared for a connection and depending on the chronological spacing of message cells belonging to the same connection that are intended for forwarding, a time slot in which a mess...

SUPPORT FOR PRICE MARKER SIGNS AND THE LIKE, PARTICULARLY FOR DISPLAYS OF ITEMS OF CLOTHING The support for price marker signs comprises a central body provided with an engagement element which is suitable for being hung from the horizontal rail of the displays generally used in shops. A counterweight is fixed below the central body and a sign, having a support for a writable surface, is connected...

Disclosed herein an instrument comprising a rigid elongated sheath tube having a selected length and a distal end, the distal end including means for passing an image, the image passing means having an exterior surface located at the distal end; and means located within the rigid elongated sheath tube for defining at the distal end means for directing a fluid flow across the exterior surface of th...

High purity semiconductor material, especially Si, is deposited by thermal decomposition of gaseous cpds. on substrates heated by the absorption of electromagnetic energy. The process is carried out in a reactor with a metallic base-plate containing spray-heads for gas supply and removal and carrying a bell-jar which fits over the base-plate and is hermetically sealed to it. Pref. at least one gen...

A method for controlling the operation of an air-conditioner to optimize the temperature in a room automatically, by utilizing the relationship between a predetermined optimum room temperature and a current room temperature sensed at a predetermined time interval. Upon the selection of the optimum room temperature by an operator, the air-conditioner calculates room temperature values corresponding...

Process for screw injection moulding of plastics, esp. fast-curing glass-fibre reinforced polyester resin, in which the hydraulic pressure applied to the injection cylinder (17) is controlled to limit flow of material to or from the mould (23) during the holding-pressure phase. ADVANTAGE - Compared with constant holding pressure, this invention, by limiting flow, avoids cracking and surface defect...
