A shaped article made of a mixture comprising a major content of carrier fibers that are not capable of being shaped by pressure or heat, and a minor content of binding fibers of a thermoplastic synthetic material, wherein the shaped article is made of a mixture comprising the carrier fibers in the form of an incoherent nodulated fiber material or fiber bundles having a diameter of 2-10 mm, and th...

A process for digestion of sludge comprises introducing the sludge and aeration feed gas to a first digestion zone, oxygenating the sludge therein at a temperature of from 35 to 75 DEG C to form partially stabilized sludge and then anaerobically digesting the partially stabilized sludge in a covered second digestion zone at a temperature of from 25 to 60 DEG C to form further stabilized sludge and...

Glass microspheres having an index of refraction of 2.7 or higher are prepared by (1) forming the microspheres from compositions based principally on 65-85 weight-percent Bi2O3 and 5-35 weight-percent TiO2, and (2) rapidly heating the microspheres after they have been initially formed to cause an internal structural rearrangement that raises their index. Such microspheres are useful to form retror...

SH-6608 STORAGE DEVICE FOR WARM WATER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE A hot-water storage device comprises a blowmolded storage container formed of thermoplastic synthetic material and the greatest dimensions of which are different in its three mutually orthogonal axes, and a plastic foam outer insulation enclosing the container and conforming to the outside shape thereof.

The disclosure relates to a shaving apparatus having a shear plate with hair entry apertures and a drivable cutting unit with at least one cutting element provided with a cutting edge. Owing to the presence of the shear plate a shaving apparatus of this type does not allow the hairs to be shaved as closely to the skin as a shaving apparatus without such a shear plate, where the cutting element is ...

In order to be able to indicate the position of the ball (12) in which the ball (12) impacts on the skittle erecting surface, for the scoring of a skittle game, a light barrier (20, 30) is provided directly in front of the skittle erecting surface. The signals identified are sent to an electronic processing device (23, 31) which is connected to a display device (33, 34).

The free-flowing, abrasion-resistant granules are based on alkali metal aluminium silicate which is insoluble in water. It contains 80 to 95% by weight of alkali metal aluminium silicate and 20 to 5% by weight of an aliphatic hydroxy compound with at least 4 carbon atoms. Besides at least one hydroxyl group it can also contain other functional groups, the total of functional groups being greater t...

In the changing of the dimensions of sheets of paper to be stacked by a paper stacking apparatus including a conveying station, adjustable upper tapes moving about reflection rollers, separating shoes, ejector rolls, separating plates and stopper boards, the improvement which comprises displacing the upper tapes along with their deflection rollers, the separating shoes, the ejector rolls, and the ...

Device for braking and/or blocking of load carrying flexible pulling means such as belts or ropes having a braking roller partly wrapped by the load carrying flexible pulling means. The roller can move with respect to a clamping surface when the pulling means exerts a tangential force on the braking roller. A clamping surface is disposed adjacent the pulling means near the braking roller. Braking ...
