The positive plate comprises a grid supporting structure having a layer of active material pasted thereto, the grid supporting structure comprising a lead-based alloy consisting essentially of lead, from about 0.02% to about 0.05% calcium, from about 1.5% to about 3.0% tin, and from about 0.01% to about 0.05% silv...

A control apparatus for a vehicle transmission includes a running condition detecting section for detecting the running conditions of a vehicle, a gear shifter (3) for executing the speed change in an automatic speed change mode in which a speed change condition is automatically set on the basis of the running condition of a vehicle and a manual speed change mode in which a speed change condition ...

A method and apparatus for reducing corrosion on the interior and exterior of a fuel storage tank. A galvanic anode assembly is placed within the interior of or exterior to the fuel storage tank and is surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic gel. The hydrophilic gel absorbs water in the fuel storage tank, thus removing it from contact with the tank. The hydrophilic gel also absorbs metal ions produce...

A method of concentrating oocysts of waterborne protozoan parasites from water potentially contaminated by dilute densities of the parasites is described. Potentially contaminated water is fed into the separation channel of a continuous separation channel centrifuge. The water is centrifuged for a period of time sufficient to collect the parasitic oocysts and cysts in the channel.

A device for enhancing and processing printed cardboard, cardboard packaging, paperboard, paper or similar substrates (2), especially designed for a rotational stamping process, wherein the substrate (2) can be introduced in between two rotating processing cylinders (4, 5) in an advance direction (A) and is processed as it passes there through by tool parts (7, 8) acting in a working gap (6).
