A long line for use in long-line fishing, comprising a main line (1) with detachably attached branch lines (2), each carrying a respective hook (13). The branch lines (2) are attached to the main line (1) via globular bodies (3), which are affixed to said main line and formed by rings having a spherical outer surface. Each branch line (2) is connected to a claw-shaped body (4), which via snap-in a...

Microbiocidal compositions and methods for the preparation and use of such compositions in detergents, plastics, fibers, wood, water, coatings and aqueous systems. The compounds used for this purpose are mono alkyl esters of phosphoric acid or the metal or organic salt of said alkyl phosphate.

Diagnostic apparatus utilized to monitor a steam turbine-generator power plant. A plurality of sensors around the plant provide data to the diagnostic apparatus which utilizes a digital computer to come to some conclusion relative to actual or impending malfunctions in the plant components. The computer utilizes an expert system diagnosis which establishes a plurality of subsystems which are gener...

A medical instrument is provided with a chemiluminescent light source for inspection and examination of a body. The light source (26) comprises at least two compartments (30, 32) separated by a barrier (34), each compartment filled with a suitable fluorescing component, such that by breaking the barrier between the compartments and causing admixing of the components, a chemical reaction occurs whi...

A solar accumulator with a plane solar heat collector of the kind which emits radiated heat to an accumulator tank containing a heating fluid in a pressure free condition and at least one heat exchanger coil is arranged in said accumulator tank. The collector comprises an external transparent covering means for the incident radiation disposed at a selected distance from a radiation absorbent surfa...

New yeast strains providing for an enhanced rate of the fermentation of sugars, and a process to obtain such yeasts and the use of these yeasts. Yeasts capable of improved fermentation of sugars, a process to obtain these yeasts and the use of these yeasts are provided. The yeasts show higher rates of metabolism resulting in for example higher carbon dioxide and ethanol production in media contain...

The uninsulated cables (5) comprise at least one pair of wires (6,7), one of which (6) is connected to the positive pole of the power source (1), whilst the other (7) is connected to the source negative pole. The wires are held apart by a predetermined distance partly by separate distance pieces of non-conductive material evenly distributed between the posts (2) preventing the wires from coming in...

Adjoining the one capsule side 12, a triple material layer is present in the planned pouring spout. In order to achieve resealability with the use of the triple material layer, the extent of the tear notch 32 which defines the pouring spout is arranged in such a way relative to an underlying punched edge in an end tab that the mutual distance between the said lines is less in the region of the tri...

A cover arrangement for house panelling for preventing entry of mice and other pests etc. comprises an elongate cover element 1 with transverse through-openings 5 in a function part 4. Such a cover element is intended to be secured via its longitudinal mounting section 2 before the panelling is fitted. To obtain a cover arrangement which in one and the same design can be used on both vertical and ...

The invention is directed to an exhaust gas muffler for a two-cycle engine, especially for a handheld portable tool, such as a chain saw. In exhaust gas mufflers equipped with a catalyzer, the formation of flame from the fuel-containing exhaust gases exiting from the muffler must be prevented. These exhaust gases are intensely overheated because of the exothermal process in the catalyzer. The muff...
