A separator plate for the negative electrode of a lead-acid battery comprising a molded, synthetic plastic wall or planar member of generally rectangular configuration. A pair of like separator plates are vertically oriented in the battery casing to sandwich the negative electrode therebetween including juxtaposed retention mats common in such a negative electrode assembly. The sandwich provides a...

A method for preparing a high resilient flexible polyurethane foam, in slabstocks and moulding, wherein a modified or not high reactive polyether-polyol, having an average molecular weight from 3,000 to 10,000 and an average functionality not larger than 4 with an amount of at least 50 % hydroxyl groups, is brought into reaction with organic polyisocyanates in the presence of a "cross-linker/exten...

In the disclosed process, an O<2>,2 min anhydro-1-( beta -D-arabinofuranosyl)thymine is formed by condensing a 2-amino- beta -arabinofurano[1 min ,2 min :4,5,]-2-oxazoline with a compound of the formula wherein R1 is C1-C4 alkyl; X is halogen or OR2, wherein R2 is H, C1-C4 alkyl or phenyl; in the presence of a suitable solvent at about 0 DEG C to about 150 DEG C. Catalytic agents such as di...

The present invention relates to a method for positioning at least one thread, band or like element (8) in a pre-determined pattern above a conveyer path (1) with the aid of thread outfeed device (3) having at least one thread outlet device (5). In accordance with the invention, the thread outlet, or each thread outlet, is moved in a simple or a composite rotational path in a plane parallel with t...

A chuck for centring and clamping a workpiece in a machine tool 20 comprises a hydraulic system for actuation of tensioning members 16,25 for automatically achieving the said centring and clamping. A number of first tensioning members 16 are acted upon by a first pressure level for a first limited time span for centring of the workpiece, before a higher pressure level is allowed to act upon remain...

Co-product fines from the manufacture of zeolitic cracking catalysts from microspheres of calcined clay have heretofore been discarded as a waste stream. These fines, recovered as a moist cake, are slurried in a sodium silicate solution, spray. dried to form microspheres and ion-exchanged initially at high pH and then at lower pH to produce attrition-resistant cracking catalysts which produce low ...

The invention relates to a cleansing-agent composition containing boric acid, and its use for cleansing e.g. the skin, clothing and fixtures from substances which form water-soluble complexes with boric acid, and specifically for removing from the skin the surplus of dithranol in the treatment of psoriasis. The cleansing-agent composition is characterized in that it comprises the following constit...
