A radiation sensor provides on-line measurement of web MD/CD fiber orientation ratio, formation indexes of multiple spatial frequencies, and optical density as it relates to basis weight. A light source illuminates one side of a substrate to be measured. The radiation passing through the substrate is detected by a pair of detectors having fields of view along narrow strips which are perpendicular ...

A filter for the transmission fluid in an automobile comprises an elongate housing 20 with a longitudinal inlet 22, an end outlet 24 and an opposite end closure 26 which forms a removable part of the wall of the fluid sump pan 5. The outlet 24 makes a demountable seal with wall 7, separating the inlet side of the pan from a zone connected to a suction pump. The housing encloses two concentric-tubu...

A process for preparing aqueous polyurethane dispersions has been discovered which comprises (a) forming a polyurethane solution by reacting an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a solvent with (i) an acrylic ester diol having a molecular weight of between 146 and 3,000; (ii) an organic polyhydroxyl compound other than (i) having a molecular weight between 400 and 5,000 selected from the gr...

An improved method of molding tires is disclosed, wherein the improvement consists in that tire molding is carried out by way of the steps of detecting movement of a stitcher tool during the tire molding under manual handling with the aid of a position detecting device, detecting at least either of the number of revolutions and the direction of rotation of a molding drum with the aid of a rotation...

1. A heel clamp comprising a base plate (1) adapted respectively to be secured to the ski or to be guided in a guide rail in the longitudinal direction of the ski, and a bearing bracket (2) of substantially U-shaped cross-sectional configuration disposed on said base plate, a unit (9, 9', 9") consisting of a sole clamp (7) and a step ledge (8) being mounted in the upper portion of said bearing bra...

A packaging film comprises a base film of at least partially water-soluble plastics film, for example, polyvinyl alcohol, carrying on one side a protective layer of particulate inert plastics material, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene powder, having a high water repellency. The film is thus vulnerable to attack by aqueous media on one side and protected against such attack on the other. It may...

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of environmental contamination by a formed powder, by providing a reducing agent adding process, which concentrates waste water containing an acid mixture containing chromic acid and reduces Cr<6+> in waste water to Cr3+, to the front stage of a spray roasting process. CONSTITUTION:A reducing agent such as ethylene glycol of reducing Cr<6+> in a conc. solution of ...

A safety device in the form of a spring applied actuator includes a two-part housing (10, 11), in which a pressurized fluid is applied to a diaphragm 12 to compresses a set of springs (23, 24) within the housing, in order to maintain a friction surface (4) in a retracted condition and apart from a rotating surface (R). A diminution of fluid pressure enables the previously compressed spring set (23...

A liquid stream 2 from a nozzle 1 is atomized and distributed over a substrate 3. The liquid falls into a downwardly angled chute 10 formed by strong gas jets focussed to a point X. An air-knife 20 directed vertically downwardly in the plane of X atomizes the liquid. Gas-knives 12 and 13 are fired alternately and apply equal but opposite deflections to the liquid, which however remains in the plan...

A method of preventing buckling of a drill string during drilling of a well in the earth comprises the steps of: (a) measuring the forces on, and the azimuth and inclination of, a segment of the drill string; (b) resolving said forces into the axial and normal compounds applied to the next shallower segment, said axial and normal components being related to measured azimuth and inclination of sa...

A continuous process for producing a self-supporting glucan film, comprises casting an aqueous glucan solution on the surface of a corona-treated endless heat-resistant plastic belt, drying the glucan solution thereon while heating, and releasing the resultant self-supporting glucan film therefrom.
