An improved multipiece roof finisher, mounted over a roof and both side pillars of a vehicle, is disclosed. The finisher is divided into three parts: a center finisher over the roof, and two side finishers which cover the side pillars. The center finisher is connected to the side finishers by connecting means.

Apparatus for examining a human patient by means of penetrating radiation has a source of radiation for producing a sectoral swath of radiation which traverses a planar slice of the patient and is then measured by a bank of detectors each of which is sensitive to a narrow beam of the radiation in said swath. The swath of radiation is produced by a rotating anode Coolidge tube and means are provide...

A continuous flow device for separation of particles of differing densities in a centrifugal force field. Very small particles of differing densities that are normally very difficult or impossible to separate in the useful commercial gravity separation devices can be separated because of the increased settling force due to the centrifugal force field and also the buoyant force on the particles of ...

An electromagnet, for valves, comprises thin-walled axially symmetrical parts and is adapted to different uses by special air gap arrangements and armature suspensions; the electromagnet generates high magnet forces at low armature mass and is employable, in particular, for actuation of fuel injection valves for internal combustion engines and in general hydraulics; the electromagnet possesses a h...

A catalytic process for the conversion of hydrocarbons or bituminous shales or carbon monoxide in the liquid phase in contact with hydrogen flowing upwardly through a series of successive stages, each containing a catalyst bed either semi-stationary or dispersed in the charge, the catalyst being maintained at each stage by an upward flow of hydrogen or hydrocarbon supplied below an opening in the ...

A scatter radiation device for determining the internal structure of a body comprises a monoenergic radiation source for emitting a narrow primary beam which penetrates the body, at least one slit diaphragm device which is situated outside the primary beam and which comprises a plurality of slit diaphragm apertures which extend approximately perpendicularly to the primary beam, and a detector devi...

Container unit for performing cyto-centrifugation, in particular for insertion into vessels such as pivoted beakers of centrifuge swing-out rotors. A chamber block 1 is held fast by clamping springs 4 in a container carrier 5 and a microscopic object carrier 6 is situated between the two. The chamber block is provided with at least two passages 2 arranged at right angles to the object carrier 6 an...

A process is provided for mechanically surface-finishing a textile fabric which comprises ccontinuously feeding said fabric from a source of supply, such that said fabric lies in a single plane, subjecting successive adjacent sections of the fabric to intermittent mechanical impact with an abrasive means across the width of said fabric thereby avoiding substantial sustained contact between the fab...

Raw materials are reclaimed from magnetic tape scrap by cutting the scrap into small pieces; treating the cut scrap with aqueous alkali solution; stirring the alkali-treated scrap at high speed thereby completely separating them into tape substrate and magnetic powder; washing the scrap with water and draining it; stirring only the tape substrate fragments at high speed under vacuum and at a tempe...

In a magnetic bubble memory control apparatus comprising a magnetic bubble memory controller (BMC) 1 for controlling the operating sequence of magnetic bubble memories and data controllers (DC) 2 for controlling the data flow to and from the memories, respective output buffers of the data controllers are each as in Figure 4 and connected to a common bus line 5a and operated in an open drain mode d...

A data communication system comprises a plurality of terminal units 111, 112, 113 having different addresses individually and a main control assembly 100 connected to the terminal units by transmission lines for controlling the terminal units. The terminal units include a number of specific terminal units and the other terminal units. The main control assembly controls the specific terminal units ...

The process is disclosed for the manufacture of briquettes in which an essentially solid fuel material such as hard coal, coke, soft coal, charcoal or more particularly, anthracite, and other coals of low volatility are mixed in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol and calcium oxide and/or magnesium oxide, as well as at least 1 percent by weight of water, and formed into briquettes. The calcium oxide...

Method and apparatus for building annular tyre components such as steel cord tread reinforcements, in which a measuring drum (11) is employed to receive strip material (27) and simultaneously to feed it to a component building former (10). The strip material laps a portion only of the measuring drum, and a measured length of the strip is severed on the measuring drum and the major portion of the l...

In a parapet portion of a curtain wall, indoor side and outdoor side members of each panel unit mounted at the top of the curtain wall are connected via a connector made of heat-insulating material, and a damp-proofing sheet is mounted so as to extend between the indoor side member and a building body to form a heat-insulating damp-proofing layer, whereby the disadvantages that heat received by a ...
