The homogeneously branched linear or substantially linear ethylene/ alpha -olefin interpolymer has a density from about 0.88 to about 0.935 g/cm<3> and a slope of strain hardening coefficient great...

Alkenyl aromatic thermoplastic synthetic resinous elongate foam bodies having a machine direction, a traverse direction and closed noninterconnecting gas-containing cells are prepared using at least 70 percent by weight of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane and or 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane as a blowing agent or part of a blowing agent mixture. These foam bodies have an average cell size of 0.01 to 0.3 millimet...

A process is described for the production of aqueous dispersions involving removal of liquid(s) from an optionally multiphase liquid mixture by means of membrane distillation, e.g., transmembrane distillation or pervaporation.

The electrical in-line coupling has a main body of insulating material into which in set an insert 2 that has a cylindrical end shaped to receive a connecting plug. The end section is of a rectangular shape 8 and this provides a location for the contact connecting wires that extend into projecting lugs 15. With the wire ends projecting two end cap elements can be fixed into the end to secure the w...

A method and apparatus (10) provide a deployment signal for deploying a vehicle occupant restraint device (20) during a side impact to a vehicle. The method includes the step of sensing a non-door side impact at a non-door location, and the step of providing a non-door side impact signal. The method further includes the step of sensing an on-door side impact at a vehicle door, and the step of prov...

A process is claimed for monitoring the circulation of solid particles within a fluidised bed reactor. Fluidisation gas is injected into the base of the reactor and carries particles into the upper part, between vertical reactor walls (4). A portion of the solids fall down next to the reactor walls. Also claimed is the appts. where descending solids are caught in a small hopper (100) attached insi...

Date Dec. 8, 1994The invention relates to continuous gas fluidized bed polymerization of olefins, especially ethylene, propylene, or mixtures of these with other alpha olefins, wherein the monomer-containing recycle gas employed to fluidize the bed is cooled to ...

An apparatus for producing spun-bond fleece has the process shaft connected to a source of process air and opening into a depositions shaft centrally thereof and flanked by streams of air bypassing the process shaft. The result is a random jumbling of the fibers as they deposit on the moving belt such that a uniform filament density and homogeneous mesh width are obtained without singularities and...

A memory-type value identifying the type of memory contained with a range of memory locations is explicitly stored within a microprocessor. Prior to processing a memory micro-instruction such as a load or store, the memory-type is determined for the memory location identified by the memory micro-instruction. Once the memory-type is known the memory micro-instruction is processed in accordance with...

A tubular adapter for clamping connection with the end of a tubular part of a modular prosthesis, consisting of an axially slotted connecting sleeve circumferentially clampable by a clamping bolt or the like and designed to receive tube end, with the sleeve abutted at one end by an annular coupling section, the section preferably having on its circumference four equally spaced threaded holes, with...
