A data transmission system has a number of control devices connected via a transmission loop. Each control device includes signal processing circuitry which compiles data signals to be transmitted in the form of a data signal block. The signal processing circuitry is followed by a transmit buffer, which includes a write/read memory. A prepared data signal block can be accepted into this memory. A ...

A breast box nozzle for a paper making machine or the like is shown as having an adjustably positionable shutter member which can be moved generally further and lesser into the path of flow of a stream of pulp stock as to thereby determine the thickness of the discharge stream of pulp stock; a support arrangement applies a pressure to the shutter member as against a downstream side thereof in orde...

An ultrasonic welding tip assembly and associated method of use are described which overcome the problem of accumulation of melted material in and around the weld joint and tip by providing reservoirs for collecting melted material and allowing same to flow away from the weld joint and tip. Conical welding tips are disclosed having a cone height A and base width B with a ratio of A/B. A/B is 1.2 f...

1. Phenylethylaminopropiophenone derivatives of the general formula (I) see diagramm : EP0167945,P10,F4 in which R**1 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl which is optionally substituted by fluorine, or halogen, R**2 denotes hydrogen or lower alkyl and R**3 denotes hydrogen, alkoxy or halogen, and their physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids.

The device includes guide bars (4) for joining two plates (3,5) and permitting parallel movement between them. The plates, between which planks are clamped, have milled-out areas (2) at each end which fit over a guide rebate (1). - Movement of the planks in pairs is permitted by a movable counterpiece (6). Pins are produced by repeated movement, with intermediary displacement laterally along the g...

A gas and fluid mixture passes through a pipe (12) from the evaporator (3) to the separator (4) where the fluid is separated, whilst the gaseous medium passes through a further pipe (13) to the compressor. The fluid is collected in the base of the separator, and connected through a pipe (9) back to the evaporator. The separator and the evaporator, together with their two pipes (9,12) form a part c...

The clip has a thin, flat, strip-shaped plate (1) for attachment to the inside of the toupe which is stiff but with sprung pliant characteristics. Between its end parts, the plate is formed as a comb with fingers (2) extending in the plate plane. - On each end part, the plate has a hole (3) which is pref. rectangular with its longitudinal extent parallel with that of the plate. Also, the toupe cli...

The vector processing system comprises a main memory (3) for storing instructions and operands; at least one scalar register (4) accessible by each of said instructions; a plurality of vector registers (V0-V7) each having a plurality of storage locations for holding a plurality of vector elements of an ordered set of data; functional means for performing a predetermined operation for at least one ...
