The core is formed with a diametrical slot 15 which extends the length of the core and which locates the connections between adjacent windings. During the winding step of the assembly of the actuator, a spacer 15A is progressi...

A rotary die cutter for die-cutting blanks one after another has a blank feed unit, a pair of cylinders for die-cutting the blanks, and an endless member running synchronized with the cylinders. The blanks are gripped by grippers mounted at equal spacings on the endless member. The cylinders are adapted to allow the grippers to pass between the cylinders while gripping the blanks.

An improvement in an x-ray apparatus used to obtain diagnostic x-ray images is described. The improvement includes a monitoring means, 10, for monitoring a physiological process such as cardiac or respiratory cycles. A signal generating means, 12, is used to generate signals in response to the monitored physiological process. Signals from the signal generating means are coupled to a control means,...

1474802 Lead-acid battery GOULD Inc 8 July 1974 [9 July 1973 (2)] 30217/74 Heading H1B Crystal growth between the formed negative and positive plates of a dry-charged lead-acid battery which may occur before activation of the battery by the addition of electolyte thereto, is prevented by treating the plates with a metal sulphate soluble in sulphuric acid or water. The preferred sulphate is of sodi...

The growth and feed efficiency of food producing domestic mammals (especially ruminants) is improved by administering, a growth- promoting amount of the antibiotic lysocellin or a physiologically acceptable salt or metal complex thereof. Preferred metal complexes or salts of lysocellin are the sodium zinc, copper, and manganese derivatives.

A heavy hydrocarbonaceous oil feed (e.g. a petroleum residue or coal, tar sand or shale derived oil) is hydrogenated by contacting the oil with hydrogen in the presence of added dispersed hydrogenation catalyst, suspended in the oil, and porous solid contact particles. At least part of the normally liquid product from the first hydroprocessing stage can be hydrogenated in a second stage catalytic ...

A 3'-polyphosphate of pyrimidine nucleoside or guanosine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which has high antileukemial activity and is low in toxicity is disclosed.

In order to reduce the effect of modulation of the quantizing error (noise) by the signal in an adaptive digital audio system and to increase the dynamic range of the system, the adaptive analog to digital converter is preceded by a frequency dependent network that changes the shape of its characteristic in response to a control signal. The control signal is derived from the variable scaling facto...

The compound 2-c- beta -D- glucopyranosyl-1,3,6,7- tetraoxyxanthone ("mangiferin") of formula: in combination with a pharmaceutical vehicle is used for treating diseases caused by Herpes virus.

Steel pipe is provided with an external protective coating by first applying a corrosion protective coating of fused powdered epoxy resin adhered to the pipe, then applying (e.g. as by wrapping a sheet) an outer polyolefin layer directly onto the corrosion protective coating. The outer sheet of polyolefin is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a hot melt adhesive which adhesive may also...

Supported coprecipitated nickel-cobalt-silica and nickel-cobalt-copper-silica hydrogenation catalysts are disclosed. The catalysts are prepared by preparing an aqueous reaction mixture containing nickel and cobalt cations (and optionally copper cations), silicate anions and solid porous carrier particles under agitation to form a coprecipitate of the nickel, cobalt (and optionally copper) and sili...

Diesel fuel J having a mid boiling point of about 255 DEG C and having 90% W/W boiling in the range 225-280 DEG C is produced from coal- derived liquid by deep hydrogenation at 4 (e.g. at 350-450 DEG C, 50-750 bar hydrogen pressure and a LHSV of 0.1 to 1 using a Gp VI B plus Gp VIII B metal sulphide catalyst. The coal- derived liquid is obtained from coal by extraction at 1, under hydrogenation or...

Suitable apparatus comprises a vacuum chamber 1, rotatable cylindrical "Squirrel cage" 5 comprising disc electrode 6 for producing a glow discharge separated by insulated spokes 7 from the opposite disc electrode, drive means 4, and entry and exit ports 14 for the rubber articles 9. In operation, the rubber articles 9 are wetted with CF4 and coated, in vacuum, with a strongly-bonded thin protectiv...

The invention relates to a method for determining the remaining driving range in an electric vehicle with accumulator battery, the energy E removed during a discharge being measured. In addition, for the accumulator battery a characteristic curve which fixes the available charge Qvert for a predetermined discharge current with the available charge Qvert as ordinate and a discharge current as absci...

The position of a vehicle is determined by dead-reckoning and is displayed as shown on a cathode ray tube. As the vehicle approaches a predetermined position such as V1; V2; V3 the guide system produces a make- turn instruction, the direction of which may be either predetermined or determined from the bearing of the next predetermined point or destination D. The indication may be supplemented by e...
