At least part of the residual water can be removed from azeotropes such as alcohol-water, ethylacetate-water, methyl ethyl ketone-water and acetonitrile-water mixtures by passing the azeotrope in contact with a substantially immiscible stream comprising a dessicant such as sodium sulphate or calcium chloride. The feedstock freed of at least a portion of its water and the hydrated dessicant are sep...

A broken end of yarn E and an end of thread D are caused to move simultaneously opposite to one another and, after the ends of yarn and thread are brought close together, they are caused to deviate from the path of their initial movement and to run at a distance from one another in such a manner that during the untwisting of the end of yarn it engages the end of thread to form a knot. The piecing ...

The stop rail 6 extends transversely to the thread path direction and is arranged on one half of the end face (20) of the paraffin element (2) remote from the thread contact side. The paraffin element (2) has a diameter of at least 50 mm.

The invention relates to metal parts, in particular thread-guiding parts in textile machines. Apart from the actual metal thread guides, these comprise, in particular, needles on knitting machines. The invention also relates to a method of producing the metal parts, which method can also be used to treat tools and tool parts. The object of the invention is to provide metal parts by means of a cont...

An arrangement for monitoring the function of a programmable electronic switching circuit, such as, a microprocessor or microcomputer, characterized by a monitoring switch is associated with and is connected with the reset input and the clear input of the programmable electronic switching circuit and the monitoring switch includes a measuring circuit for determining the program length.

A lock includes a solenoid- operated striker unit 4 for capturing pin-bolts 9 of the shot bolt assembly 3 of a key-operable locking mechanism 1 of a hinged door 2. The pin-bolts 9 are captured within a keep channel- member 13 that slides up and down within a fixed channel-member 10 between an upper, release position and a lower, locking position. The member 10 is set perpendicularly to the general...

A new form of zeolite ZSM-12 containing chromium and/or iron in the as-synthesised form and only a small amount of aluminium, and possessing the x-ray diffraction pattern characteristic of ZSM-12. A method of synthesising the new form is disclosed, the reaction mixture containing Cr and/or Fe but not added alumina, the alumina content of the product zeolite being derived from alumina incidentally ...

A process for preparing a stable aqueous dispersion of rosin-base material by dissolving in a water-immiscible organic solvent a rosin-base material composed of 0 to 95 wt. % of rosin and 100 to 5 wt. % of an adduct of rosin and alpha , beta -unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride thereof, dispersing the organic solvent solution in water in the presence of a dispersant and removing the organic ...

A method for preparing a concentrated stable water-in-oil emulsion containing at least 40 weight percent of a water-soluble polymer which comprises the steps of (1) forming a stable water-in-oil emulsion containing at least one water-soluble monomer in an aqueous phase which is dispersed in a continuous oil phase, said emulsion of monomer containing an emulsifying amount of a water-in-oil emulsifi...

A method and apparatus for measuring the value of a physical parameter is based on the detection of a change in the electrical properties of measurement transducer. For example, the transducer may be associated with the feeler arms of a well logging tool. The method comprises transmitting a signal to the transducer and receiving a return signal, the height or other property of which determines the...

A buoyancy material is constituted by a large number of hollow spheres supported in a matrix of an incompressible non-thermosetting material of low specific gravity.

There is described a manufacturing control system which has the ability to connect together a number of data collection devices to form an integrated manufacturing control system. The system includes a control computer which receives and processes data obtained from the data collection devices, said data being parameters of a manufacturing process.

The invention relates to a vehicle gearbox for transverse engines, especially a five-speed gearbox. The input shaft (2) of the gearbox has non-rotatable gears (11-16), which engage gears (17, 18, 19, 23, 24) on two intermediate shafts (3, 4) which are parallel to the input shaft. The gears on the intermediate shafts are freely rotatably mounted and can be coupled to the shafts by means of engaging...

Liquid polyglycidyl compounds, diethyltoluylenediamine, a curing accelerator and optionally further additives form a liquid matrix system with which fibres and fibre shapes are impregnated by known techniques, particularly by filament winding, pultrusion and injection processes. The components thus produced are for example tubes capable of withstanding pressure and torsional stress.
