A process for producing a tire reinforcement is characterized by the fact that each reinforcement cord is projected individually into its place in the reinforcement. For this purpose, a machine is used which comprises laying members comprising essentially a rotary conduit which projects the cord by a radially outer extremity of the conduit and rollers which impose a linear speed of laying of the c...

A vacuum sealer (1) has three wires (13) that are heated to varying degrees. Two wires are used or dedicated to sealing plastic bags and one of the wires is used to cut the bags. The vacuum sealer is tapered downwardly (3), i.e. has a low profile, for a better air flow through a vacuum nozzle (14) during the vacuuming step. A turbine with curved fins is used to increase the air flow and reduce the...

2081357 9117234 PCTABS00008 Low pH granular laundry detergent compositions contain a low level of chlorine scavenger, preferably an ammonium salt. The compositions minimize fading of pH-sensitive and chlorine-sensitive fabric dyes during laundering.

A food freezer'(10) having a mechanical refrigeration system (54) comprising first (56) and second (58) closed-loop fluid circuits, wherein the first fluid circuit (56) employs carbon dioxide as its refrigerant and transfers heat to the second fluid circuit (58), which in turn transfers heat to the environment or to another fluid circuit. In the first fluid circuit evaporator (60), carbon dioxide...

A portable data carrier system provides improved security for files which support multiple applications, from custom repertory dialing to storage of individual medical and/or banking records. Included in the system is a portable data carrier which looks and feels much like an ordinary credit card. The portable data carrier, however, includes a computer and an electrically erasable field programmab...

A trailer for cylindrical fluid containers, particularly compressed gas tubes, arranged in modules individually removable from the trailer. Each module has a front and a rear bulkhead between which tubes are supported. The tubes have reduced cylindrical ends which protrude through and are supported in openings in the bulkheads. At least one end of the tubes is threaded and clamped by a nut or a ...

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a ruthenium promoted nickel and/or cobalt hydrogenation and/or dehydrogenation catalyst on a porous metal oxide support. Halogen is incorporated in the catalyst by adding a halide compound at any stage of the process in form of a non-ruthenium halide.

A process for producing a predetermined doping level in side walls and bases of trenches which have been etched into semiconductor substrates which involves treating the substrate with a gaseous atmosphere containing organic compounds of silicon, oxygen and boron in amounts sufficient to form a boron silicate glass, thermally decomposing the organic compounds to form the boron silicate glass as a ...

A mixture for preparing ice-creams of the conventional type, which can be stored in the deep-frozen state and comprises the usual ingredients of non-industrial ice-creams, characterized in that it contains water within the range of 30-55% by weight and sugar within the range of 20-55% by weight. In the case of milk-based ice-creams, said mixture also comprises a 10-25% by weight of fats, whereas i...

The device comprises a unit (10) for the removal and transfer of stacks (4) of sheet material (2) arranged side by side on supports (6) and individually wrapped by respective bands (5). The removal and transfer unit (10) has a head (11) provided with grip elements (18, 19) for gripping a stack (4) and being vertically and horizontally movable so as to be positionable at the individual stacks (4). ...

In a device of the type used to supply a wrapping machine, typically with chocolates, conveyed singly and in succession along a belt, any chocolate incorrectly positioned on the belt is rejected by a device including at least one pair of disks rotating tangential to the belt about a shaft that lies transversely to the conveying direction. The two disks combine to create a calibrated passage throug...
