The invention concerns a method for manufacturing of square pipes from coated steel strips. Both sides of the strip are coated with metal, say zinc or aluminium. The strips also can be industrially painted e.g. with PVC-plastics directly upon the steel surface or upon the metal-coated surface. The shaping is carried out in a continuous roller shaping device by at first shaping a profile (6) with a...

A system and apparatus therefor which stores and processes flexible strip materials and particularly tire manufacturing components such as the tread portion. A portable storage unit has a pair of hollow, cylindrical-shaped spools loosely supported on a pair of cradles within a frame. A pair of annular flanges adjacent the ends of each of the spool surfaces engages stop plates on the frame to retai...

Automatic Sheet Product Line A product line is provided for forming a sheet product composed of products such as bacon slices resting on a pre-cut thin substrate such as a sheet of paper. The substrate sheets are pre-cut to a predetermined length, and a flow of individual products and a flow of pre-cut sheets are coordinated such that the products deposit onto the pre-cut sheets in a predetermined...

A slider for a cutter knife comprises a slider main body (1) having a protrusion (6) for engaging a cutter blade (40), the blade and slider main body then being inserted into a holder (30) for longitudinal movement therein. A resilient stopper (3) is provided in the slider main body and includes forwardly and backwardly slanted resilient flaps (16,17) whose respective free ends engage two spaced-a...

A heel piece of a safety ski binding, said heelpiece comprising: a base attachable to a ski; opposed vertical support members mounted on said base, each support member including a track formed by an outwardly curved surface terminating in first and second end surfaces extending at an angle thereto; a soleholder mounted on said support members for pivotal movement about an axis transverse to said s...

In identifying and testing the location of unmasked areas on a semiconductor wafer (10), the surface of the wafer (10) is scanned with two laser beams (26,52). The power of each reflected beam is a function of the optical reflectivity of the surface of the wafer(10). The optical reflectivity of the unmasked areas is different from the masked areas. Power measurement of the reflected beams by photo...

An improved valve for use in an exhaust system to increase the performance of the engine throughout the entire engine and load speed ranges by providing reflective areas that cooperate with the individual exhaust pipes of the engine to reduce pressure pulses in the combustion chamber during valve overlap periods. A number of embodiments of compact valve constructions are shown that employ relative...

An apparatus and method for applying a bead filler material to a bead wherein the bead filler material may be applied to the bead at an offset position to compensate for the stretching of the filler material as it is applied to the bead to afford a proper splice of the leading and trailing ends of the bead filler material.

Apparatus for making a reinforcement for a tire including: (a) cord retention means disposed in two circles which are a distance apart which corresponds to the length of the path of the cord from one side of the reinforcement to the other so that the cord, disposed in this way, defines a cylinder by a plurality of passes back and forth from one retention means to another, (b) by a suitable movemen...

Electrochemical biosensor systems or apparatus, components thereof, and methods for quantitatively measuring or assaying concentrations of selective substrates or metabolites in aqueous media as a function of electrochemical response to hydrogen peroxide concentration, using immobilized enzyme electrode means selective for the substrate or metabolite being measured.

The present invention describes an improved method of calculating the bipolar violation rate (BPV) in DS1 signal transmission which may be implemented in a computer program subroutine which efficiently and without undue processing steps will accurately generate alarms when the bipolar violation rate exceeds predetermined service affecting and non-service affecting and other desired thresholds. The...

A process for the rapid post curing of polyether polyurethane foam in the form of porous blocks in which the foam is subjected to a mixture of water vapor and gaseous ammonia, primary or secondary amines at a temperature of about 50 DEG to 150 DEG F. for a period of 1 or more minutes. The cured foam recovers its original dimensions when distorted or compressed after the distortion or compression...

A method is provided for making measurements in geological formations from a horizontal borehole or a borehole with limited slant with respect to the horizontal, formed in the wall of an underground way. It includes essentially a probe containing measuring instruments, adapted to be introduced and pushed into the borehole at the end of an elongate element such as a semirigid tube which is wound of...

A coupling assembly which includes an inflatable annular tube, a plurality of friction shoes removably attached to the tube so that the shoes move radially as the tube is inflated and deflated. The shoes include a friction pad bonded to one side of a backing plate and a driving bar also made of friction material bonded to the other side of the backing plate and joined together in a unitary structu...

A double O-ring sealing arrangement for a pressure responsive device wherein a storage-buffer chamber is provided between the double O-rings and is kept at a high pressure even when the actuating pressure for the pressure responsive device is dropped below atmosphere so as to provide for an as effective sealing of an actuating chamber of the pressure responsive device from the surrounding atmosphe...

Process for contacting particulate solids (e.g. cracking catalyst) with a fluid (e.g. a hydrocarbons-comprising mixture) by introducing said fluid as a, preferably single, annular stream into a stream comprising the particulate solids. The invention further relates to an apparatus for contacting particulate solids with a fluid comprising a solids container (e.g. a fluid catalytic cracking riser re...
