In the two-stage manufacture of radial ply tires, the sidewall stock is applied to the cylindrical tire body on a mandrel so as to overlie the turned over ply ends and extend beyond them, and while the mandrel is stationary, the sidewalls are bonded to the underlying plies by inflating bladder assemblies so as to cause them to press the sidewall stock against the underlying plies.

The quantity of NOx emissions generated by a combined gas turbine-steam boiler power plant is controlled by recycling a controlled amount of the steam boiler exhaust gas to the air compressor of the gas turbine such that the recycled gases constitutes up to about 30% of the fluid flowing through the air compressor and by cooling the recycled steam boiler exhaust gases to about the desired gas turb...

Method and device for freeing a filter medium, which has a certain inherent stiffness and is comprised in a filter, of dust separated from air, which filter (2) at one end is connected to a supporting plane (1) and in its longitudinal direction is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the supporting plane (1). The cleaning of the filter cloth is effected in that a strocke is imparted to the su...

In a method for controlling a tire vulcanization of a vulcanizing apparatus, an initial green tire temperature is measured before vulcanization and a tire temperature during vulcanization is estimated on the basis of the thus measured initial tire temperature. In addition, a sum of products of vulcanizing rates derived from the thus estimated tire temperature is calculated so as to stop the tire v...

Hole seeking apparatus for material webs is disclosed which features a light source for projecting a light beam onto a mirror wheel arrangement located optically in front of a concave mirror so as to produce a scanning beam in the image space of the concave mirror. The scanning beam is continuously displaced parallel to itself so as to periodically scan along a scanning path on the material web. T...
