An apparatus for producing a plastic container having occludable closure strips comprises a source for the closure strips, a rotatable casting cylinder having a pair of spaced apart circumferential grooves defined therein, a mechanism for advancing the closure strips to the casting cylinder, an extruder for casting a plastic film onto the casting cylinder so that it becomes connected to base porti...

PURPOSE:To obtain negative plates having an effect equal to that achieved by partial electric discharge by exposing a part of each negative plate in which formation is completed outside electrolyte so as to cause the part to react with oxygen contained in air and sulfuric acid used as a formation liquid to make a sulfate salt. CONSTITUTION:During the formation, positive plates and negative plates ...

PURPOSE:To prevent a motor car from starting suddenly, by a method wherein power transmission is made to perform after an engine speed has been reduced when shifting operation of a shift lever from a stopping range to a running range is made in case where an accelerator pedal is being stepped in during suspension of a vehicle. CONSTITUTION:In case of putting the title device into operation on a di...

The invention provides an electric lead-acid storage battery of maintenanceless type, preservable charge with only the acid absorbed in the plates and separators. The battery is characterized in that the grids are made of an alloy of lead free of antimony, particularly lead-calcium-tin, and carry active material provided by pastes containing organic inhibitors, such as ligninsulphonic acids, and i...

1. A storage battery comprising a spacer member for dimensionally stable electrode plates, the electrode plates being spaced by at least 5 mm, characterised in (a) that the spacer member (1) is an electrically insulating sheet (2) having projections (3) provided therein beneath one another at predetermined distances (a), the lateral extension (b) of said projections corresponding to the distances ...

A presensitized lithographic printing plate precursor is described, comprising an aluminum support that has been rendered hydrophilic having provided thereon a light-sensitive layer composed of a light-sensitive composition comprising (1) an organic solvent-soluble and substantially water-insoluble diazo resin, (2) a substantially water-insoluble, film-forming polymeric compound, and at least one ...

Adaptive training of a system for discrete utterance recognition during continuous speech permits single prototype utterances to be adapted to the needs of the talker, during operation, without tedious multiple recitation for training of prototypes. Initial training of the recognition system is by a single utterance (or simulation) of a prototype vocabulary. Operation proceeds, so long as utteranc...
