The shaped filter is a generally U-shaped block of filter material which is adapted to be mounted between the source of radiation and the scan circle. The U-shaped block has a parabolic recess. The filter material may be beryllium, aluminum, sulphur, calcium, titanium, erbium, copper, a...

A method is disclosed for achieving improved reduction efficiency and economy in the reduction of particulate metal ores, e.g. iron ore, in a vertical shaft, moving bed reactor having a reduction zone in which a heated reducing gas is caused to flow through a portion of the ore bed to reduce the metal ore thereof to metal; e.g. sponge iron. The improved efficiency and economy is achieved through a...

Polyesters are combined with UV-stabilizing substances in order to produce an end product, such as a film, sheet, ribbon or filament, by mixing polyester granules and the UV-stabilizing substance in powdered form at an elevated temperature such that at least the exterior surface of the polyester granules is soft, thereby to cause the powdered UV-stabilizing substance to adhere to the individual po...

A process for preparing a porous sheet material, which comprises impregnating and/or coating on a substrate a water-in-oil type polyurethane emulsion (d) comprising a hydrophobic polyurethane (a), a hydrophilic polyurethane (b), and organic solvent (c) and water, and drying it, characterized in that said hydrophobic polyurethane (a) is a hydrophobic polyurethane dispersion (e) obtained by reacting...

An improvement in a front jaw for a safety ski binding. A base plate and a base member are fixed together and have two axes thereon which are arranged perpendicularly to the base plate. Each axis pivotally supports a two-arm lever so that the longer lever arm engages the ski boot and the shorter lever arm engages a locking element which in turn engages a locking member movable against the force of...

In the bearing, which is in the form of a multi-face sliding bearing, for example in the case of a planetary gear mechanism, the bearing journal (4) is manufactured from steel and has the shape of the multi-face sliding bearing. The bore of the planet gear (8) surrounding the journal is lined with a material (9) which has good anti-friction properties and a higher coefficient of thermal expansion ...

A thermoplastic container, particularly a bottle, has a one-piece container top unitarily formed with the container body and a container neck and enclosing a stopper of elastomeric material, particularly rubber. To prevent contact between the container contents and the stopper, a mounting and separating element is provided between the stopper and the container. The mounting element has tubular axi...

A safety binding for the ski is provided, which serves to secure one end of a ski boot relative to the ski with the possibility of lateral release. The binding has a jaw which engages on the ski boot, and a bearing part which is fixedly secured on the ski and forms two lateral and converging bearing lines for the jaw. These two bearing lines are provided on the transverse surface of the bearing pa...

A shape-forming apparatus (10) for carcases of radial tyres is described. In the shape-forming apparatus (10) the expansion of the forming apparatus is exactly controlled by a central, expandable bellows (16) in which a narrow section of the, in the axial direction, central region of the forming apparatus starts the expansion. Preferably an arrangement of wires (17) extending in the axial directio...

The invention relates to a safety ski binding with a sole holder which is pivotable on a bearing block that can be attached to the baseplate, about a transverse spindle mounted on the bearing block, is subject to the action of an opening spring stressing it into its open position, and is retained in the downhill position by a locking crank which is pivotably mounted on the sole holder and which ha...

Electrical contact materials based on AgCdO with CdO as the main active component have proven to be particularly advantageous for low voltage switchgear in the power industry. However, when switching AgCdO contact materials, CdO, which is classified as toxic, can escape into the environment through burn-off. It is important, therefore, to keep the CdO content as low as possible in the contact mate...
