The application deals primarily with the guidance and positioning of a travelling automatic servicing device (16) relative to a plurality of operating stations (12), e.g. of a spinning machine, which are to be serviced thereby. Aspects of the communication of information between the device and the stations are also dealt with insofar as they are associated with the guidance and positioning feature...

Microsilica slurries having a microsilica solids content of at least about 50% by weight which are stable for extended periods of time are provided. The slurries have a pH in the range of about 5.0 to 8.5 and comprise microsilica, an aqueous carrier medium, an anionic dispersant for the microsilica, and a chelating agent capable of chelating multivalent cationic impurities in the microsilica. Also...

CONSTITUTION:On the outer circumferential wall of a glass tube 3 approximately 50mm apart from a first electrode 7 toward a secon...

A method and apparatus for controlling access to its general purpose registers (GPR) by a high end machine configuration including a plurality of execution units within a single central processing unit (CPU). The invention allows up to "N" execution units to be concurrently executing up to "N" instructions using the same general purpose register (GPR) sequentially or different general purpose regi...

PURPOSE:To increase the numbers of external leads markedly for lessening the danger of solders between adjoining external leads coming into contact with one another by a method wherein the external leads are alternately projected from the sides and either from surface or bottom of a package. CONSTITUTION:The external side leads 5 and the external bottom leads 6 respectively projecting from sides a...

Compounds of the general formula (I) are potent sweeteners, especially 4,1',6'-tribromo-4,1',6'-trideoxygalactosucrose: (I) in which R' represents a chlorine or bromine atom; R2 and R3 respectively represent a hydroxy group and a hydrogen atom or a hydrogen atom and a chlorine or bromine atom; R4 represents a chlorine or bromine atom; at least one of R', R3 and R4 representing a bromine...

The present invention relates to a process for partial desulfurization to the extent of about 30-90% during hydrotreating of a dewaxed lube oil basestock. Such a process provides an increase in viscosity index of up to five numbers with less than about 5 wt.% yield loss, a consequence of the desulfurized compounds staying in the lube boiling range.

PURPOSE:To prepare a rubber composition having excellent adhesivity to steel cord and high breaking properties, and especially suitable as a coating rubber of steel cord, by compounding a rubber with an organic acid cobalt salt, sulfur, thiazole type vulcanization accelerator, and m-cresol resin. CONSTITUTION:100pts.wt. of a raw rubber is mixed and kneaded with 0.8- 2pts.wt. of a thiazole type vul...

PURPOSE:To enhance the generation efficiency of a traveling wave by providing a regulating electrode for regulating a standing wave. CONSTITUTION:Insulated A-phase electrodes A1-A5 and B-phase electrodes B1-B5 are provided, and frequency voltages having phases displaced at 90 deg. are applied to the electrodes to generate a traveling vibration. When the node positions of first and second standing ...

PURPOSE:To enhance the generation efficiency of a traveling wave by adding a mass to an electrical/mechanical energy converter to regulate the resonance frequency of a standing wave. CONSTITUTION:Frequency voltages having phases displaced at 90 deg. are respectively applied to an electrostrictive element group A phase for generating a first standing wave and an electrostrictive element group B pha...
