The use of said novel hydrophobically associating polyelectrolyte compositions for dewatering coal tailings, clean coal products, mineral slurries, as well as for the clarification of water contained in coal refuse slurries is disclosed. The polyelectrolyte compositio...

A microcomputer interface arrangement includes a microcomputer having I/O ports coupled to individual interface units. A fault detection circuit detects a fault in an interface unit, interrupts the microcomputer and inverts the input state of the faulty unit without affecting the output states so that the faulty unit can be identified by the microcomputer by reading inputs of the interface units.

The known quality inspection method for a printed matter of the type that a print pattern on the printed matter is optically imaged on photo-sensitive elements and a print depth of the printed matter is detected by taking out intensities of light inciding to the respective photo-sensitive elements as electrical quantities, is improved. The improvements reside in that from momentary changing detect...

R<1> OOCCH2-(O-R<2>)n -OCH2 COOR<3>...

A new tire construction and method which makes the toe guard integral with the inner liner is provided. A tire is made using an inner liner that has a width substantially equal to the width of a prior art inner liner plus the width of prior art toe guards minus any overlap. The edges (14) of the inner liner (12), which wrap around the bead, are reinforced so that the edges of the inner liner prote...

What is disclosed is a process for obtaining polyurethane foams having enhanced benefits. The invention disclosed herein provides a system flowability of the reacting foam mixture to give foams with an insulating capability equal to the foams that are provided by chloro-fluorocarbon blown system, while doing away with the chloro-fluorocarbons.

The vehicle has infrared transmitters (2a, 2b) and CCD arrays (2c) integrated into two wing mirrors and connected to a computer (8) for evaluating the scans. The computer transmits information concerning actual distances of a side of the vehicle from the white line of the lane to an indicating unit (9), so that the driver can position his vehicle accurately or, in this case, allow the automatic la...

The umbrella lifting pole (13) is inside of the outer standing tube (11) and carries the top of the umbrella. The initial height (h) of the lifting pole and the length (x1) of the pulling device (31) that opens the umbrella are chosen in a way that the slope (o) of the bars (26) of the opened umbrella (10) is the same for any initial height (P,p') of the lifting pole. The lifting device is a spind...

The test system has an illumination unit (12) which is arranged with first light transmitters (14) and light receivers (26) in a first test station (10). The illumination unit has at least one further test station (11) arranged at a distance from the first station, and having further light transmitters (16), directed on the region (13) of the object (3) being tested. A stationary receiver unit (24...

An immunogenic compound that, being non-toxic, may be administered to humans, and is derived from an HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1 or HTLV-2 virus regulatory protein by chemical processing using a coupling agent such as an aldehyde, or from a carrier protein activated by pre-processing using an aldehyde, whereby said compound may be recognised by antibodies to said regulatory protein, and retain sufficient...

A method of manufacturing a polyolefin solution continuously and in a stable manner with a high yield which comprises kneading a polyolefin resin with a liquid being composed of a solvent for the polyolefin resin, and is characterized in that; (1) a continuous kneader having a self-cleaning action is used, and (2) a starving state is maintained in the internal sections of the kneader at a polyolef...

The invention disclosed pertains to a central pre-processing system (10) with logistics for documents as well as system access (10) based on subscriber identities at the operator of telecommunications system (14). Furthermore the system is based on electronic interaction between databases (22, 24, 26) handled by a central administrator in order to avoid in-house handling of logistics regarding mai...

A steerable rotary drilling tool includes a drill bit mounted on the lower end of a housing by a drive shaft having an articulative coupling that allows the bit's rotation axis to be inclined relative to the rotation axis of the housing, an eccentric weight in the housing that maintains the bit axis pointed in only one direction in space as the bit is turned by the housing, and a clutch system tha...

The advanced polyimide reaction product and solutions thereof resulting from the reaction of unsaturated polyimides with alkenylphenols or alkenyl phenol ethers in the presence of specified molar amounts of an amine catalyst at elevated temperatures, the desired degree of resin advancement being reflected in solution stability and melt viscosity values.
