CONSTITUTION:A lead storage battery using a positive electrode, on which larg...

In a process for operating a vertical moving-bed reduction reactor for reducing iron ore to sponge iron, having a reduction zone in the upper part of the reactor and a cooling zone in the lower part of the reactor, the desired degree of metallisation of the reducing ore is obtained in the reduction zone and the desired degree of cementation is obtained in the cooling zone, the process being charac...

A method for the production of frames from rigid plastic profiles for use on refrigerator cabinets and in particular on chest freezers, which comprises forming the plastic profiles, mitering and welding the edges of the plastic profiles to form a frame having sharp-edged corners, and rounding at least one of the sharp-edged corners by means of thermo-forming. The invention also comprises the finis...

A single body of plastic material has three converging coplanar radial arms and a perpendicular central hole. Each arm has an axial seat with a blind bottom to receive one end of the tubular structure and means for locking said end. The central hole is designed to receive a rotation hub.

CONSTITUTION:A channel address (GA number) from each gate array GA26 is supplied to a support processor 27, inputted in series to a shift register 28, and stores ...

A metal powder-containing polymer composition selected from the group consisting of [A] polymer compositions each containing a metal powder having an amino compound and a silane coupling agent compound deposited thereon; and [B] compositions each consisting essentially of: (a) powder of a metal having an amino compound or a mixture of an amino compound and a silane coupling agent compound deposite...

A radiation sensor provides on-line measurement of web MD/CD fiber orientation ratio, formation indexes of multiple spatial frequencies, and optical density as it relates to basis weight. A light source illuminates one side of a substrate to be measured. The radiation passing through the substrate is detected by a pair of detectors having fields of view along narrow strips which are perpendicular ...

A convertible sofa-bed is disclosed which has a seating area, a back rest, and a mechanism support frame located below the seating area. A folding mechanism for supporting a mattress when the mechanism is unfolded and for supporting a seat in the seating area when folded with the mechanism located within the frame below the seat is also provided. The mechanism has first, second and third main sect...

The invention provides a process for preparing a food flavour by inactivating yeast and carrying out enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in conjunction with fermentation with micro-organisms. Preferably the enzymatic degradation is carried out with more than one enzyme either simultaneously or sequentially.
