PURPOSE:To obtain an electrode having long life and little falling-off of active substance due to softening by adding at a same time the dispersion of fluoro-resin and a specific amount of surfactant into paste. CONSTITUTION:To 1kg of lead active substance, 3cc of aqueous dispesion of poly- tetra-fluoroethylene, 2g of polyethylene oxide, and 150cc of water are added, and further 2-5g of polyoxyeth...

PURPOSE:To secure the improvement in fuel consumption and accelerativity by automatic switching of a subtransmission between the low and high speed levels accordinto to a transmission diagram of optimum operation corresponding to the balance relationship between either the speed or the engine revolutions and the engine load. CONSTITUTION:The rotation power of an engine 1 is transmitted to an input...

PURPOSE:To prevent occurrence of speed change shock by first shifting down the speed to one step lower stage and then shifting it up when the speed change gear is shifted down to the stage on which engine brake acts. CONSTITUTION:When shift range is set to D range so as to set speed change stage, it is judged whether or not requirement for D1 is achieved. The requirement D1 means that the speed ch...

L'invention est relative à un procédé et machines de coupe de tissu en une épaisseur et matelassage des pièces découpées. Le procédé et machines de coupe consiste à disposer et maintenir une longueur de tissu déroulée d'une pièce sur une table de coupe constituée par un cylindre de révolution lors de sa rotation de sorte à ce que la longueur de tissu placée face à un outil de coupe tel que rayon l...

METHOD AND MEANS FOR FORMING LINES OF WEAKNESS IN CLOSURE CAPS AND SIMILAR ARTICLES USING A LASER BEAM A method and means for forming a line of weakness in a molded plastic closure or the like using a laser beam for cutting or melting the plastic in an interrupted line of weakness or along a line extending partially through the article wall. The method and means are used in the high speed manufact...

A cross-correlation fire sensor circuit includes detectors responsive to heat and light radiation, respectively. Electrical signals from the detectors are processed in two distinct channels through low pass filters and samplers. The sampled signals from the two channels are multipled together and the products are summed over a selected interval to provide a correlation function. This function is c...

A method for making an article containing and adhesively bonded joint by first placing the surfaces (30) to be bonded in the path of an intense energy beam (34), such as a laser beam, for a short duration to modify the surfaces (30). Then an adhesive is applied to the modified surfaces (30) and the joint is completed. The inventive method results in stronger and more durable bonds relative to untr...

The application deals primarily with the guidance and positioning of a travelling automatic servicing device (16) relative to a plurality of operating stations (12), e.g. of a spinning machine, which are to be serviced thereby. Aspects of the communication of information between the device and the stations are also dealt with insofar as they are associated with the guidance and positioning feature...

Wound covering material which is impermeable to bacteria and viruses, permeable to water vapor, pressure-sensitive and antiseptic. It comprises a backing and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing as a glue an acrylate ester copolymer containing hydrophilic groups and/or a mixture of polyvinylmethyl and/or polyvinylethyl ethers. The backing layer is composed of a film of a segmented copoly...

High temperature processes and thermophilic organisms for use in those processes for reducing the levels of certain nitrogen-containing compounds in tobacco materials. Tobacco materials are contacted with at least one thermophilic organism characterized by an anaerobic, dissimilatory, metabolic pathway for denitrification of tobacco materials under anaerobic and high temperature conditions that pr...

The invention relates to a front piece for safety ski-bindings. The front piece comprises a supporting member which can be pivoted sideways. Linked to the support member are side clamps for engaging the toe of a ski boot in order to hold the ski boot in the front piece of the safety ski-binding. The side clamps are releasable when a predetermined force is applied to the side of the ski binding. Th...

Mechanism for raising/lowering a seat structure. A motor-operated screw-nut assembly is operatively connected to the seat structure via a lazy tongs support system. Laterally spaced guide devices give the support system a desired wide-stance stability that prevents undesired lateral dislocation of the seat structure. The support mechanism is compactly arranged beneath the seat structure, whereby t...
