A spark-gap cutting blade for an electrosurgical active electrode pencil which has a central electrode surrounded by an insulator and a series of alternating electrically conductive and insulative elements. The central electrode is electrically connected to one side of a high voltage source and the last electrically conductive element in the series is connected to the other side.

A maintenance exerciser makes requests of certain inoperative and malfunctioning storage memory bank portions of a large scale storage memory unit concurrently that normal system requestors do request of remaining, correctly functional, storage memory bank portions of such storage memory unit. All requests are collectively prioritized in a priority network which, save for the circuit of the presen...

Process for solid refuse disposal in which a vertical shaft furnace is maintained at 30-250 psia, part of the recycle-condensate is filtered to form liquid waste a portion of which is incinerated with a minor part of the product gas to form hot exhaust gas used to heat feed water in steam boiler zone, and energy from the resulting steam is recovered as part of the process energy requirement.

PURPOSE:To prevent program runaway by storing a key corresponding to all modules in advance to a module key register to retrieve a key of the register before an instruction discriminator discriminates an instruction thereby preventing a branch other than a module constituting a program. CONSTITUTION:Full module key information 19 is stored in advance in a full module register 9 of a runaway preven...

PURPOSE:To make the constitution of a supervisory device simple by setting the time for supervising uncontrolled run arbitrarily by software according to the processing time of a program and thereby detecting uncontrolled run of a CPU in its early stage. CONSTITUTION:The time for supervising uncontrolled run slightly longer than processing time of a program is set from a CPU 1 to the time setting ...

A hot tire forming method whereby at least some of the elements constituting each tire are formed starting from respective masterbatches, which are mixed with given chemical compounds inside respective continuous mixers to obtain respective final mixes, which are hot-fed to respective continuous production means, such as extruders, for obtaining semifinished products, which are hot-fed onto a fini...

A tire curing system in which a number of mobile curing units, each designed to house a respective green tire, are selectively and independently fed along a loop circuit having at least two parallel branches, the ends of which branches are connected to a common section extending through a station for loading and unloading tires on and off respective curing units; each curing unit incorporating a m...

A means and method for applying innerliner material to a tire building drum and more particularly to a means and method for cutting and applying the innerliner material and further allowing for stock width measurement and precise centering without the possible edge distortion of known guiding systems.

The invention relates to an improved device for moving and axially adjusting horizontal rolls of a section for rolling mill stand, comprising an axial thrust bearing mounted in the envelope of a casing blocked on an element of the stand, a sleeve mounted for axial slide and fast with the outer race of the bearing, the sleeve being blocked in rotation in the envelope of the casing; a screw mechanis...

To prevent spinning of wheels in all-wheel vehicles, a traction control system is used which, in its simplest form, may use existing wheel speed sensors. If any one, or more, or all of the wheel speed sensors provide output signals representative of spinning of a wheel, for example by providing output signals representative of a substantially higher speed than other wheels, or higher than a refere...

A method to impart increased lubricity to the surface of a polymeric substrate includes contacting the substrate with a solution of a hydrophilic polymer in a solvent and heating the substrate to evaporate the solvent. The substrate retains a coating of the hydrophilic polymer, which, when dry, has about the same lubricity as the uncoated substrate. When wet, the coating becomes significantly more...

Commercially acceptable carbon black may be produced from coal or other carbonaceous material with the ash content in the resultant product kept below approximately one percent (1%) by controlling the oxygen to coal weight ratio so that it is less than 0.4 and by starting the process with coal or other carbonaceous material in a size range of from 75 to 1700 microns.
