Unflavored psyllium husk-containing drink mix compositions are prepared consisting essentially of small particle size psyllium husk comprising less than about 10% of psyllium husk having particle sizes larger than about 60 mesh screen, less than about 2.0% edible acid, and sugar. Such compositions are unflavored so as to permit mixing small particle size psyllium, which is readily suspended in a l...

Automotive SLI lead-acid batteries are disclosed which are characterized by enhanced resistance to positive grid corrosion, even when exposed to the current, relatively high under-the-hood service temperatures in use with recent model automobiles. The grids are formed from either a cast lead-based alloy including from about 0.025 to 0.06% calcium, from about 0.3 to 0.7% tin and from about 0.015 to...

A decanter centrifuge including a discontinuous screw conveyor having flights only within the generally cylindrical portion of the centrifuge bowl. A restricting disc is provided adjacent to the heavy phase material discharge ports such that the restriction contacts the build-up of heavy phase within the portion of the bowl where the flights are discontinuous.

A procedure for making plate blocks for lead accumulators has the surfaces of the plate lugs mechanically treated with brushes below the liquid alloy level in a bath with molten lead/tin alloy before the casting process. The electrode plates are afterwards removed from the bath. As a material for the mesh of the electrode plates, lead/calcium alloy or lead/antimony alloy is used. As bath material...

A process for applying multilayer lacquer coatings onto an electrically conductive substrate by electrophoretic deposition of a primer, firing the primer layer, applying a coloured and/or decorative basis lacquer layer and applying a clear lacquer layer - uses an aqueous basis lacquer applied directly onto the fired primer layer and containing a binder that comprises the following components: (A) ...

A process for multi-coat painting by the electrophoretic application of a primer on a conductive substrate, stoving the primer coat obtained, coating with a colouring and/or effect-providing undercoat and application of a coat of clear lacquer and stoving the undercoat and clear lacquer topcoat, in which a colouring and/or effect-providing undercoat on an aqueous base is applied directly to the st...

A coated porous substrate composed of a hydrophobic polymer which is substantially uniformly coated with a hydrophilic polymeric material. The substrate may be a sheet-like material, examples of which are foams, fibers, and fibrous webs. The fibrous webs desirably will be nonwoven webs. The coating on the substrate is durable to an aqueous medium at a temperature in a range of from about 10 ~C to ...

The present invention concerns compacted and optionally presintered bodies, which are prepared from metal powders and which have densified surfaces, obtained by shot peening or rolling.; Eléments comprimés et facultativement préfrittés préparés avec des poudres métalliques et qui possèdent des surfaces densifiées obtenues par grenaillage ou cylindrage.

A polyester article is described which comprises a polyester polymer produced using a catalyst obtainable by reacting an alkyl titanate or an alkyle zirconate, an alcohol, a 2-hydroxy carboxylic acid and a base. The article preferably takes the form of a film or a bottle. Also described is a process for the production of the article.; L'invention concerne un article en polyester qui comprend un po...

The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive foam with a percentage of theoretical density less than 90, wherein the foam has a peel adhesion of greater than about 1 N/cm and a compression set under constant deflection of less than about 60 %. The present invention further includes a pressure sensitive adhesive foam comprising a thermoplastic block copolymer; a tackifying resin; ...

A diamond film characterized by being formed from a growing nucleus on a substrate having a distribution density of not less than 1 x 10<10>/cm<2> and having high denseness and surface flatness and a high degree of freedom in the thickness of the continuous film. The growth nucleus can be distributed with the above-specified high density by, for example, dispersing diamond particles having an aver...

The parasol has a sloping supporting pole (1) and a base (2). The pyramid shaped frame (3) is fixed to the pole (1) and the fabric (58) is fixed to the frame. The frame is attached to the pole on the side where it forms an obtuse angle with one of the corners of the base of the frame (5, 6, 7, 8). It is attached to the pole by an additional bar (15) which an extension of the side bar (11) which ex...

A tube tire capable of simply, positively preventing the generation of a puncture due to contact of opposing portions of the wall surface of a tube. Double wall portions are formed at rim striking portions of a tube contained in a tire, and the internal spaces of the double wall portions are filled with a sealant. When the tire rides over an obstacle and the tire and the tube are clamped between t...

A hydrocyclone (10) establishes a first vortex (15) of fluent material at one end (e.g. in a top portion 4), and a second vortex at the other end (e.g. in a bottom portion 24). The first vortex is established within a porous surface of revolution (18) to which gas or other fluid is supplied, passing through the porous surface into the first vortex. The second vortex is established by a conical end...

Polyol compositions comprising a polyol, an insoluble fluorinated compound and a surfactant composition which is the reaction product of a stoichiometric excess of a polyisocyanate and a polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ether of formula R-A-OH, wherein R is C1-25 alkyl and A is a polypropylenoxy chain, optionally containing up to 25 % polyethylenoxy units, having a total length of from 4 to 39 units.

The electro-surgical HF generator has a HF oscillator (11) connected to a regulatable power stage (12). At which is connected a patient current circuit, across an output transformer (13) and possibly further galvanic isolating elements.
