In a vehicle-mounted navigator, a control unit reads map data from a memory unit and displays a corresponding road map on a CRT display unit. In response to signals from a distance sensor and a direction sensor, the present position in relation to the running of the automotive vehicle is computed to display by superimposition the present position on the road map display of the display unit. When t...

During the measurement of the length of filamentary materials, for instance a yarn, which is wound into a cross-wound package which is driven by a grooved drum, appreciable errors arise because there is not taken into account slippage. Therefore, with the present method during the winding operation the slip, which is governed by the relationship of the circumferential velocities of the grooved dru...

The open or closed injuries encountered in traumatology, sports, accident and emergency medicine can be treated with a self-adhering compression bandage. As described above, many advantages can be achieved with one device which have hitherto been achievable only by using a wide variety of devices. The bandage might therefore be an integral component of emergency equipment.

A thread catching ring structure for the chuck of a filament winding machine comprises an axially-extending knife element (36), a guide surface (26) to lead a thread under the knife element and a clamp ring (42, 44) to clamp the thread against the underside of the knife element. The clamp ring has a first flange (42) by means of which the clamp ring is secured in catching ring structure and a seco...

A ribbon lap unit contains support shafts for receiving and supporting a lap, a web transport means in the form of a web drafting mechanism, a web diverter, a diverter plate arrangement and a web collecting element. A web unrolled from the lap is fed through the web drafting mechanism and around the web diverter onto the diverter plate arrangement and thereafter onto the web collecting element. By...

PCT No. PCT/DE86/00321 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 1, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 1, 1987 PCT Filed Aug. 6, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO87/00903 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 12, 1987.A magnetic valve has an actuation magnet (1), whose armature (17) serves to move a valve element (23) against the action of a valve spring (21). To increase the efficiency of the actuation magnet, the valve element (23) armature (17) are connect...

A device for producing a thread connection by splicing includes a splicing head having a splicing chamber formed therein in which a tension-proof thread connection is formed by mutually entangling, hooking, intermingling and/or wrapping fibers of thread ends, means for supplying heated splicing air to the splicing channel, and an adjustable heat source coupled to the splicing head.

In a process for preventing the deposition of sealing material on the external surface of a delivery nozzle for sealing material for the production of seals in container closures, solvent is applied in an annular region above the external surface of the delivery nozzle to be wetted. The solvent flows as a thin layer in the direction of the outlet orifice of the delivery nozzle along its external s...

A method and system for shift control in an automatic transmission for a vehicle, wherein, during shifting, engine torque is changed to thereby maintain the shift characteristics satisfactorily, and wherein at least engine torque control in association with 1st shifting is stopped when a 2nd shifting command is emitted before 1st shifting is completed. When only the engine torque control in associ...

A composite structure is disclosed which comprises a combination of heat treatable cemented carbides and alloy steel. The carbide phase in the cemented carbide is predominantly tungsten monocarbide, or solid solutions of tungsten monocarbide and molybdenum monocarbide, of stoichiometric composition. The binder in the cemented carbide is based on heat treatable low to medium alloy steel and contain...

The invention relates to a novel process for the use of a transverse axial tomo-scanner in such a way that it can be used for carrying out cinedensigraphy. Instead of measuring the different projections of the cross-section during examination as a function of the different angular positions of the radiation absorbing device, the same projection (i.e. with a fixed device in the plane of the section...

A method for producing a powder forged material comprising 1.4 DIFFERENCE 3.5% Si, 0.2 DIFFERENCE 0.9% Mn and 1.0 DIFFERENCE 2.0% C by weight, the remainder substantially consisting of iron is provided herein. This method consists in (a) pulverizing the swarf of an FCD cast iron mother material and separating and removing graphite microparticles from the mother material to produce a powder body of...

The invention concerns a circuit arrangement including a microcomputer and a semiconductor memory to and from which it transfers data. With such an arrangement, it is necessary to ensure that if the operating voltage fails, for instance, if it is used in a motor vehicle, when the ignition is used or in an accident, undefined data is not transferred to the semiconductor memory because the operating...

The invention relates to a process for debittering brewer's yeast, in which the brewer's yeast, harvested in a manner known per se and purified by screening, is mixed with unhopped finished wort at a yeast concentration about one hundred times higher than in normal beer production and is subjected to a fermentation process. The brewer's yeast is preferably mixed with unhopped finished wort in a ra...

In the production of such bodies, moulded bodies produced by paste extrusion are freed by drying, in a first step of a continuous process, from the lubricating or parting agent used in their production and, in a second step, are stretched and the polymer material simultaneously sintered at a temperature at least equal to the crystallite melting temperature of the polymer. Stretching may be effecte...
