A black matrix color picture tube has a phosphor layer and black matrix layer formed on the inner surface of the faceplate. A layer of glass having a low softening point is provided between the phosphor layer and the inner surface of the faceplate and between the black matrix layer and the inner surface of the faceplate. The softening point of the glass is below the temperature at which the tube i...

The safety ski binding comprises a base plate on which a spring housing for a release spring is mounted for displacement transversely on the longitudinal direction of the ski. Mounted in the spring housing are two hinged jaws laterally engaging a ski boot and rotatably supported about vertical axes. For improving the retention of the ski boot and for facilitating the lateral release in the case of...

The stages of the method which are to be carried out manually are extremely simplified and the degree of utilisation of the blank prior to cutting can be determined objectively and weighed up against the subjective feeling of the suitable selection of the structure. When cutting patterned materials, it is also guaranteed that the pattern on the part to be cut out has been selected in a simple mann...

A system for automatically monitoring the operational status of one or more copier machines from a remote location where each copier machine has a copier control computer for determining copier status. Status information from the copier control computer is monitored and a translator associated with each copier adapts status information from a specific copier into uniform status information for tra...

A crossflow separator (4) located in a treatment chamber (1) is used for separating solids from flocked liquids, the liquid continuously fed to the treatment chamber having a minimum residence time of 2 to 3 minutes in the flow region of the feed chamber (2), the velocity of the liquid being 20 to 30 mm/second in the holes of the distributor wall (7), through which the liquid passes into the chamb...

Anthracycline glycosides having the general formula 1 and 2: wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, fluorine, hydroxy or amino; R2 and R3 represent hydroxy or one of R2 and R3 is a hydrogen atom, a nitro or an amino group and the other of R2 and R3 is a HYDROXY group, are antitumor agents.

1. Process for assembling, by jointing, two surfaces A and B, these surfaces being made of various materials such als glass, plastics, metal etc., characterized in that it consists in : a) applying to the surface A a seal in the shape of a strip of a thermoplastic material, based on a polymer chosen from the group comprising thermoplastic polyurethanes, polyetheramides or mixtures of both these th...

In previous composite building slabs for sectional false floors, which are supported at their four corners and consist of an upwardly open trough produced from tension-proof material and of a filling of compression-proof material, e.g. anhydrite, a greater deflection is produced, under load, at the edge of the slab than in the centre of the slab, which is undesirable. In order substantially to eve...

The slats of a roller shutter having a rolling-up device are guided in two vertical guide rails and mounted rotatably about pivots which protrude on the end face by means of a common swivel drive (7). The latter comprises, per pivot, a toothed wheel (11), a chain (12) which engages jointly with all the toothed wheels (11), and an outer actuating device (30). A drive for adjusting the guide rail be...

A dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic composition is provided which comprises a polymer blend of a polyolefin resin, a halogenated elastomeric copolymer, such as a halogenated butyl rubber, or a halogenated copolymer of a C4 to C7 isomonoolefin and a para-alkylstyrene, and a halogenated polyethylene. The composition has improved flame retarding properties. Additional flame retarding additives may...

This method, intended to hold the level of the output signal from this amplifier equal to a desired value, includes:   - a prior calibration phase, itself including the establishing of a relationship giving the variations in the signal for controlling the gain of the amplifier either as a function of the variations in the level of the input signal, with constant output level equal to the desire...

A dispenser (10) for a dispensable fluid, such as hydrocarbon fuel, of a type comprising an outer canister (12) containing a pressurized propellant, an inner bag (14) containing the dispensable fluid, and a normally closed valve (20). The inner bag (14) has a flexible wall with an orifice (70) having a margin. Two clamping members (40,80,120,130), which may be snap-fitted to each other, clamp the ...
