Die F...

A service tender (16) for servicing operating stations (12) of a package-forming textile machine travels past the stations and senses the condition of a package-holding cradle (134,136,138) at each station (12) to determine the type of service operation required.

Die Erfindung betrifft Vorderbacken für Sicherheits-Skibindungen mit einem schalenbackenartigen Sohlenhalter, der über einen Schwenkarm an einer auf den Ski aufschraubbaren Grundplatte gelagert und unter dem Einfluß einer Feder in seiner Normallage gehalten ist, wobei der Schwenkarm sich in seiner Normallage quer zur Skilängsrichtung erstreckt, mit seinem Lagerende auf einem vertikalen Achszapfen ...

A carcass for a self-sealing pneumatic tire is constructed by starting with an extruded thin flat strip of puncture sealant both surfaces of which are detackified. The strip is place on a building drum and its upper surface is wiped clean so that an inner liner may be adhered to it. Thereafter, the carcass is conventionally completed with superimposed successive layers of belts, and tread along wi...

Die Stabilisierung von Polyurethankunststoff-Formkörpern erfolgt durch Anreicherung des Stabilisierungsmittels in der Oberfläche. Dies geschieht durch Aufbringen des Stabilisierungsmittels auf die Formoberfläche vor dem Einbringen des Kunststoffes und/oder auf die Oberfläche des Formkörpers nach dem Entformen. Stabilisierungsmittel hiefür sind vorzugsweise Emulsionen, die etwa 0,5 bis 1,5 Gewichts...

A storage and trans-shipment system for containers, comprising, a quay with quay cranes for loading and unloading container ships moored at said quay, a container storage depot that is provided with a set of gantry craneways placed next to each other, a number of cars not guided by rails for the transport of containers between the quay cranes and the gantry cranes, and means for automatic control ...

A method of providing improved lubrication of tools used for hot-working rare earth-transition metal alloy particles in which dry glass or glass/graphite lubricants are suitably applied to the working surfaces of the tools.

The invention relates to a method of real time control of fluid influxes into an oil well from an underground formation during drilling. The injection pressure pi and return pressure pr and the flow rate Q of the drilling mud circulating in the well are measure. From the pressure and flow rate values, the value of the mass of gas Mg in the annulus is determined, and the changes in this value monit...

The invention relates to a method of analysing fluid influxes into an oil well from an underground formation. During a drilling mud transient flow state, the successive values of the rate Qi or pressure pr of injection of the drilling mud into the well and the successive values of the rate Qr or pressure pr of return of the drilling mud to the surface are measured. The changing value of the rate o...
