A seal for sealing a gap defined between a blade assembly and a housing of a clipper has a sealing portion and a base portion. The sealing portion h as a blade engaging side and a housing engaging side. At least one projection extends upwards from the housing engaging side for engaging the housing. At least one attachment formation is provided for releasably attaching the seal to a boss interior t...

In an arrangement to chill an animal cadaver (1), the cadaver is slung from an overhead support and enveloped with a chilling assembly (5.3) within in a bell-like thermally insulated cover (2). The chilling assembly may also be slung from the overhead support, or from a support (5.2) which projects through the thermally-insulated cover (2).

Two oil chambers 28. 29 are formed in a cylinder 21. The piston rod oil chamber 28 is connected with a reservoir 50 formed on an outer section of th e cylinder. Two parallel passages 33, 34 are formed in a sealing case 23 provided on an upper section of the cylinder. The sealing case 23 is provided with a needle valve 35 regulating the area of the opening of the passage 33, a poppet valve 37 closi...

An adjustable circumference finger ring, the finger ring of which is comprised of two semicircular members and a flexile linkage structure that couples one extremity of the two semicircular members such that the two semicircular members can be spread apart and the finger ring worn and removed without passing over the finger joint of the user. The two semicircular members have a circumference adjus...

A method for drilling in unconsolidated formation is taught. In particular, a method for borehole stabilization in an unconsolidated formation includes providing a drill string; rotating the drill string to drive a drill bit to drill a borehole having a borehole wall; driving the drill string against the borehole wall while rotating the drift string t o plaster the surface of the borehole wall.

An arrangement for monitoring an air-mass measuring device ( 1 ) includes an electrically driven compressor ( 10 ) in an air supply of an internal combustion engine ( 5 ). The arrangement makes possible a precise modeling of the air mass flow. An air mass flow in the air supply is modeled in dependence upon a compressor rpm and a compressor pressure ratio and is compared to an air mass flow measur...

A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle make possible a central coordination of various reserve torque requests. A reserve for an output quantity of the drive unit is formed. Various reserve requests of different physical significance can be compared to each other and a resulting reserve request is selected in dependence upon the comparison.

A clamping spring device for an elastic clamp for attaching at least one electrical conductor includes a support and a clamping leg at an end of a spring leg. The support includes a freestanding edge. The clamping leg projects toward the support at an acute angle so as to form a receiving space between the clamping leg and the support. The receiving space narrows in a conductor insertion direction...

SE REFIERE AL CONTROL DE PLAGAS FRUTICOLAS Y AGRICOLAS, MEDIANTE LA APLICACION DE AIRE CALIENTE DIRECTA O INDIRECTAMENTE EN UN CULTIVO. EL PROCESO CONSISTE EN PROYECTAR AL MENOS UN CHORRO DE AIRE CALIENTE QUE SALE A UNA TEMPERATURA ENTRE 65 °C Y 250 °C, DESDE UN VEHICULO QUE SE DESPLAZA EN UNA DIRECCION SUSTANCIALMENTE PARALELA A LAS HILERAS DE CULTIVO, PROYECTANDOSE DICHO CHORRO EN UNA DIRECCION ...
