A method for forming parts from inorganic particulate materials is disdosed. The method utilizes a two-component binder composition which is removable at a faster rate than conventional binder compositions, thereby reducing the formation of voids and cracks that occur during binder removal. No toxic materials are required and the method does not rely on solvents. The method may be used with cerami...

A green tape obtained by coating said composition over a flexible substrate, and heating and drying this product to remove the orga...

The present invention relates to a novel ethylene/pentene-1 copolymer whose molded film has a good balance between impact resistance and tear properties and high transparency, also is prominently reduced in a variation of the transparency even after subjected to a heat treatment, and further shows high blocking resistance, provided that the copolymer fulfills specific requisites. The invention als...

A method for recovering metals from solutions is described. A particular embodiment of the method concerns recovering copper metal. The method comprises first treating a solution containing copper ions with a sufficient amount of an inorganic acid to obtain a solution pH of from about 1.5 to less than about 2.5. A reducing metal, such as iron, is then added to the solution to precipitate metal ion...

The housing receives at least one electric circuit board (3) of an electric switch or control device. It has two housing parts (1,6) with cooperating edges. A plug connector (4) associated with the circuit board (3) is held between the edges of the housing parts (1,6). Seals (5) are formed in grooves (23,24) between the opposite edges of the housing parts (1,6) and the plug connector (4). The plug...

The reader has a semi-conductor laser (6) with an anti- reflecting layer (8) on one face. The laser is supplied (10) with a constant current at a high enough level to ensure the laser emits the light through the face with the anti-reflecting layer. The laser light is focussed by an optical element, placed facing the anti-reflecting layer, onto the support carrying the data. The support is displace...

After recognising the peculiarities of the combination of the capillary intake properties of superabsorptive powders, it is possible to obtain some powders which provide both very high non-aqueous liquid absorption and the excellent mechanical properties of corresponding gels by mixing powders which each offer one of these characteristics at the highest level. This invention is useful for hygiene ...

A blower 100 for recycling a powder containing gas or for conducting a cyclone treatment thereof, which comprises a casing of blower body 108 having therein a slide or rotational slide part between its discharge side as a high pressure side and its suction side as a low pressure side, the above slide or rotational slide part being provided with a noncontacted gas leakproof seal part 166 at a clear...

A system for interconnecting audio, video and data signals available in compressed form includes a bus having a plurality of channels for transmitting signal. A bus interface is located at respective signal processing devices, which interface includes a decoder to control the respective interface responsive to control signal transmitted in one of the channels. Data is transmitted in the channels i...

Digital signals, such as digitized television signals, are subjected to a source coding step followed by a channel mapping step. The source coding step causes the television signal to be represented by two or more data streams while, in the channel mapping step, the mapping is such that the data elements of the various data streams have differing probabilities of being erroneously detected at the ...

In the data-reducing encoding/decoding of digital image signals, in many cases a movement-compensated interpolation of pixel values is used as a basis. To determine the movement vectors for pixel blocks, a comparison is carried out for each pixel block from the current image within a search region which consists of an enlarged pixel block. By means of MSE (mean square error) or MAE (mean absolute ...

The system generates a composite image on a pixel-by-pixel basis by selectively mapping source pixels provided by video sources of different video formats onto destination pixels in the composite image. The mapping is accomplished by encoding the source pixels into digital words, each word having a color information part and a video format identifier, used to decode the color information part upon...
