A tire building machine of the expandable bead lock type employs an elastomeric specially shaped radially expanding bead lock including a shaping and turning bladder which includes an air passage system therethrough. The elastomeric bead lock is confined for radial expansion in an annular outwardly opening chamber in the form of an isosceles trapezoid in radial section with the elastomeric bead lo...

1. Method for filling tubular electrodes of lead accumulators, in which a paste-like active material is pressed into little woven tubes which are slipped on filling tubes and can be pulled off them under the filling pressure depending on the filling advance, characterized in that the active material, after passing a pression chamber, is fed to the filling tubes in an excess amount and the filling ...

Method for the knot-free connection of two threads formed of textile fibers of limited length having at least one twisted fiber strand, including a splicing device for mutually tangling, intermixing and intertwining individual fibers of the two threads, which includes inserting the two threads coming from opposite sides into the splicing device, trimming the end of each thread to a predetermined d...

Methanol is made in a liquid-phase methanol reactor by entraining a methanol-forming catalyst in an inert liquid and contacting said entrained catalyst with a synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

A process for simultaneously disposing of refuse and producing a useful fuel or synthesis gas and an inert inorganic residue by feeding shredded refuse, from which ferrous metal has preferably been magnetically separated, and which has been compacted into hard pellets, into an oxygen fed pyrolizing, slagging shaft furnace.

PURPOSE:To determine a new master microprocessor even if a new master microprocessor and its fault detecting circuit are faulty, by providing a timer which monitors the normalcy of the new master microprocessor. CONSTITUTION:When a microprocessor 11 as a master microprocessor becomes faulty, fault information is reported to a fault information gathering circuit 2 of a common controlling part 1. Th...

PURPOSE:To detect the overrun of a microprocessor efficiently and surely, by monitoring the operation of the processor by the machine cycle of instruction. CONSTITUTION:A program ROM2, and an ROM3 written with machine cycles corresponding to instruction written in the ROM2 are connected to a microprocessor MPU1 through the same address bus 4. The output of the ROM2 is outputted to a data bus 5, an...

PURPOSE:To realize a simple continuous monitoring, by making an arrangement that the latest receiving time is compared periodically with the present time among plural computer systems and, when the difference between both times exceeds a threshold, a confirmation message is sent and, when there is no answer, it is decided as an abnormality. CONSTITUTION:Plural host computers A-D which commonly ...
