The running thread (3) is monitored. When a fault occurs, the cross-wound bobbin (14) is stopped automatically in the shortest possible time as a result of the actuation of quick-action braking devices (50, 51). An interruption of the thread (3) is thus avoided. Only after the standstill is the thread (3) severed as a result of the actuation of a thread-severing device (9) and the fault eliminated...

The arrangement consists of a drier (10) which is mounted above the path along which the sheets are transported along a guide plate (11) which is part of a suction box and which has a number of openings, through which air is sucked. The guide plate has openings (26) at each end from which air flows through the box. An air flow control system consists of an air flap (16), a spring guide rod (17), a...

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for reducing corrosion and gassing that occurs within lead-acid storage batteries. In particular, combinations of anodic corrosion inhibitors such as hydrolyzed proteins, organic iodine complexes, iodides, and quaternary ammonium compounds are preferred inhibitors; and these inhibitors provide excellent results when also used in combination...

A bead wire winding device which is provided with a winding guide (3) that rotates together with a mold support (1), moves by displacement toward and away from, and expands and contracts by displacement with respect to, each of the sides of the mold support (1) and which supplies a bead wire (w) onto a wire seating portion (11) of the winding guide (3) in a space defined by each of the sides of th...

Paint sludge is mixed with a polyether or polyester polyol. Optionally, lignin in the range of 0.25 to 70 % by weight may be mixed with polyol. The paint sludge-polyol mixture is mixed with an isocyanate for curing the material into a mass. Alternatively, the lignin-polyol-paint sludge mixture is mixed with an isocyanate for curing the material into a mass. The lignin improves the flame resistance...

The invention provides polyisocyanurate systems for manufacture of polyisocyanurate foam components such as those from SRIM processes. The reaction systems include a polyisocyanate and a polyisocyanate reactive component that includes a trimerization catalyst, polyol, and a carboxylic acid blowing agent, optionally with water as a co-blowing agent. The reaction systems can be blown exclusively wit...

A transformed yeast strain comprising at least one gene encoding a weak acid pump under control of a promoter whereby the gene is constitutively expressed.; L'invention concerne une souche de levure améliorée comprenant au moins un gène codant pour une pompe à acides faibles sous le contrôle d'un promoteur, le gène est exprimée de manière constitutive.

A system for alerting the crew of a rail vehicle (104, 106, 108) of the proximity of one or more other rail vehicles (104, 106, 108) is disclosed. The system includes a receiver (202) for receiving a signal from which the position of the rail vehicle (104, 106, 108) may be determined and a communication device (206) for receiving position information transmitted by other rail vehicles (104, 106, 1...

A process for recovering a polyester, preferably polyethylene terephthalate, from contaminated polyester waste containing non-polyester components, such as polyester blended with cotton or other fibers in fabric or fiber forms, polyester magnetic tapes, coated polyester films and engineering resins, by dissolving the polyester in molten dimethylterephthalate, methyl-p-toluate or dimethylisophthala...

Arithmetic operations are performed on composite operands that include plural component data items. The operations obtain valid results even though the operations would ordinarily produce inter-component signals, such as carry or borrow signals or a shifted bit, causing invalid results. For example, the component data items can be pixel values or other data relating to pixels in an image. Instruct...

A building drum (1) wherein two half drums (9, 10) are moved equally and oppositely along the same axis (6) between a parted idle position and an adjacent forming position; each half drum (9)(10) supporting an annular end element (29) of a tubular, axially deformable forming module (28), an intermediate tubular body (30) of which is defined by a number of side by side, partially superimposed metal...

The parasol has a vertical mast, with radially projecting parasol arms carrying solar radiation screens, and a ventilator unit. The arms (13) form part of the ventilator unit and are able to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the mast (12). The energy required to rotate the arms is generated by photo-voltaic elements, which are positioned on the upper surface of the flat solar radiation screens...
