A fire alarm system of the present invention is adapted to compute an approximation equation based on the detection data from a detector or detectors such about a smoke density, a temperature, a gas concentration, etc. and predictively determine a fire based on the approximation equation. The system including computing section for computing an approximation equation approximating a change in the p...

Unsaturated glycol diesters are prepared in an extremely high degree of conversion and selectivity by reacting a conjugated diene, a carboxylic acid and oxygen in the presence of a solid, active, long-lived catalyst composed of a mixture of palladium and at least one component of antimony, bismuth, selenium or tellurium supported on activated carbon, which catalyst is prepared by subjecting the mi...

PURPOSE:To prevent knocking or engine stop by transmitting power to a clutch controlling actuator to decrease or increase a clutch torque and bringing the clutch into imperfect coupling in the case of an accelerator pedaled to some extent and a car speed slower than a prescribed speed. CONSTITUTION:A car speed sensor 9, a sensor 10 for the number the engine revolution, a detecting sensor 11 for th...

PURPOSE:To obtain a differential lock function by providing a valve mechanism for checking a lowering of brake liquid pressure and means for operating the valve mechanism between a master cylinder and a wheel cylinder of a brake liquid pipeline system in a braking device for a car. CONSTITUTION:In a brake liquid pipeline system comprising a master cylinder 3, brake tubes 6R, 6L and wheel cylinders...

A method for the production of frames from rigid plastic profiles for use on refrigerator cabinets and in particular on chest freezers, which comprises forming the plastic profiles, mitering and welding the edges of the plastic profiles to form a frame having sharp-edged corners, and rounding at least one of the sharp-edged corners by means of thermo-forming. The invention also comprises the finis...

Broyeur à marteaux destiné notamment à concasser un mélange de matières métalliques et non métalliques, comportant un rotor (5) tournant à grande vitesse et dont les marteaux (8,9) sont articulés sur des pivots (11,12) ou tourillons (13) et montés entre les disques (6,7) de ce rotor, lesquels sont solidaires en rotation de l'arbre (10) de ce dernier, les bords (16) des disques (6,7) présentant des...

A plant to extract meat from small crustacea, specially antarctic shrimps (Kril) consists of a mechanism to crush the carapaces, one for sepg. any readily floating particles, and one for sepg. the meat. A liq. is used to flush away the floats and the sinks are taken by an ejector to the meat separator. - This system has a higher productivity and a better meat yield than conventional methods.

A device (6) for handling packs including elongated articles, especially lumber packs (2a, 2b), which is adapted to support the lumber pack during the handling and to be brought to an appropriate position in front of an input opening in a rack (1) for the transfer of a loading pack between the handling device (6) and the rack (1). To avoid that the weight of the article pack during the transfer be...

The disclosure describes a clip which has particular application, for example, in the medical arts. The clip comprises a hollow, cylindrical hub which includes first and second hub sections defined by a plane transverse to the axis of the hub. A pin joins the first and second hub sections and allows them to rotate independently about the pin. First and second legs are joined to the first and secon...

A radiation sensor provides on-line measurement of web MD/CD fiber orientation ratio, formation indexes of multiple spatial frequencies, and optical density as it relates to basis weight. A light source illuminates one side of a substrate to be measured. The radiation passing through the substrate is detected by a pair of detectors having fields of view along narrow strips which are perpendicular ...

A method of manufacturing a lightweight building element comprises providing a lightweight aggregate of particles having diameters in the range of 2 mm to 20 mm, mixing the particles together to produce graduated particle size distribution of the mixture, adding a quicksetting binder to the mixture in a predetermined amount sufficiently small so that free spaces are produced between the particles ...
