In a process for monitoring the position of a printed image on a printing block (62), when the block is made, at least two marks (72, 74) are placed within the printed image (68) in a known position in such a way that they to do not interfere with the printed image and/or are invisible to the naked eye. After the printing block (62) has been completed, it is preferably first measured and a check i...

A personal identification number is stored in an integrated circuit (KS) on a plug-in chip card. When the chip card is inserted into the terminal device (T) the number is read and transmitted to a telecommunications system (PABX). The transferred number is compared in the telecommunications system with stored identification numbers to identify the user. When the number has been validated and servi...

The engine control operates under similar conditions as for full load with changes in the engine torque through throttle adjustment and with an infinitely variable transmission. The control program sets operating parameters for min. fuel consumption, i.e. for min. throttle setting at any set speed. The control incorporates time control for the setting adjustment as well as the actual settings them...

The handled tools have each a stem parallel to the axis of rotation, whose axial part-regions have cutting edges over the stem periphery, symmetrical to the symmetry axis. There are centring clamps (10) for the stem, and centring clamps (11) for the part-region with the edges. Between the second centring clamps and the part-region periphery are adjustable couplers. Pref. the second centering clamp...

A process for recycling used polystyrene (PS) articles comprises dissolving the PS in styrene monomer, purifying the soln., possibly adding a rubber, polymerising in a conventional polymerisation system and removing residual solvent. The process comprises heating styrene to 60-110 deg.C., adding 1-25 wt.% old PS and dissolving by stirring, adding 0.2-3 wt.% active carbon (pref. particle size above...

The vehicle transmission control method involves controlling a link between a throttle pedal and a throttle valve which controls an effective gear ratio. The throttle pedal setting ( beta ), and its rate of change (d beta /dt), control a computer program which generates control signals for fuel saving performance, irrespective of the actual rates of change of the control. Sensors monitor the thro...

An alternative method of recording data on tape as angled tracks is provided by a head unit (1) caused to move along a linear path by being mounted on a carriage. The carriage is fixed to the surface of a tensioned steel tape (8) that passes around a pair of rollers (9,10). The head is coupled to a modulated optical source (27) providing data input signals to be recorded. The carriage is moved to ...

2113430 9323462 PCTABS00028 A procedure is described for wet chemical surface modification of formed articles and substrates coated with or made of organopolysiloxanes: the articles formed were contacted with metal hydroxide solutions to tailor the binding capacity for ions, particularly metal ions, bivalent cations, organic macro anions, and organic macro cations, e.g. proteins. The procedure cre...

The description relates to the use of a nucleation agent in a process for the production of loose-fill packing from starch. The nucleation agent is applied to the surface of starch granulates in finely divided form in quantities of 0.1 to 0.2 % of the weight of the granulates and in a grain size of about 50 mu . The granulates thus coated with nucleation agent are taken to an extruder (14) in whi...

A driveline is provided for vehicles with two or more driving wheels in which power is carried between the transmission and each wheel through a parallel shaft differential with two internal gear pairs. A traction balance, connecting the differentials, counterbalances reactive torque. Relative wheel traction is varied by change gears within the traction balance or by control torque applied to trac...

A coupling device for establishing fluid communication between a first container and a second container is provided. The device includes a first sleeve member including at a first end thereof, a member for connecting and securing the first sleeve member to a first container. A second sleeve member is provided and is so constructed and arranged that it receives a portion of the first sleeve, and is...

A vehicle window heating apparatus includes a heating element provided for heating a vehicle window when connected to a generator. The generator has a field winding fed from a voltage regulator connected to a vehicle battery. The apparatus also includes a circuit for connecting the generator selectively to one of the voltage regulator and the heating element. The circuit is responsive to a signal ...

A method for automatically assessing, with an alternating voltage, the aging of the earth-insulators of rotating machines running on a medium high voltage. The method can be used both when the machine is in operation and when it is switched off and comprises: measuring the amplitude and phase of the linear fundamental sinusoidal component of the current flowing through the insulator, in relation t...

A slotted wall milling cutter for producing a slotted wall in the ground has a drive motor fixed to the cutter frame and a gear means positioned between the drive motor and two cutting wheel gears and which is partly arranged in recesses of a bearing bracket. The cutting wheel gear is constructed as a multistage planetary gear. A particularly high torque is made available on the cutting wheels wit...

The medical pressure transducer has a sterilisable pressure dome with two connections (1) for connection to a pipe system, whose internal pressure is to be measured, so that the fluid flowing through the tube system also flows through the dome. The inner chamber of the pressure dome is formed by a housing (4), a sterilisable pressure dome membrane (5), which transfers the pressure to a non-sterili...
