The present invention relates to a process for working up waste active-mass of consumed, broken accumulator plates, deriving from rubbish-shoots, into active mass, wherein the waste active-masses removed from positive and negative plates are deacidified, washed with water, separately stored and then subjected to heat-treatment. According to the process of the invention the air-dry positive or nega...

A leather has on at least one of its surfaces a coating which covers a base leather. The coating takes the form of a cover layer (1) which planarises the base leather surface (4) underneath. This cover layer has at least at its surface (33) which is remote from the base leather surface (4) an appearance which predeterminably characterises the base leather (2). The cover layer (1) is composed of an...

A beam (12) of continuous wave ultraviolet light having a wavelength that is absorbed by an organic solid (20) is focused to a spot (18) on a surface of the organic solid (20). Relative motion is imparted between the beam (12) and organic solid (20) at a rate that defines, together with a dimension of the spot (18), an effective pulse width. Within prescribed ranges of the wavelength, power densit...

A method of driving a matrix-type liquid crystal display device utilizing a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between a plurality of scanning electrodes and a plurality of signal electrodes extending generally perpendicular to the scanning electrodes, which comprises the steps of erasing a display screen by bringing it into either a light transmitting state or a light scattering state, writing by wh...

Z/H36091Z POLYESTER FILM The invention relates to films of linear polyester containing glass spheres having a certain particle size distribution and in a certain amount. The addition of the glass spheres improves, inter alia, the dynamic coefficient of friction of the film. Preferably, a second film additive, fumed silica, of a controlled particle size distribution and weight is added to the film....

V-18471/A/TIT 28 Process and apparatus for examining optical components, especially optical components for the eve and device for illuminating clear-transparent test-objects A process and an apparatus for the examination, especially the quality control, of optical components, in which an image of the particular component to be examined is produced and flaws in the imaged article are detected by im...

A braking system for two-wheelers is provided with a normal-duty actuation member which acts on both a front braking assembly and a rear braking assembly, and with an emergency actuation member which acts on one only of said braking assemblies; means are provided for balancing the actuation force applied by the normal-duty actuation member and the actuation force applied by the emergency actuation...

A combination of a low and a high molecular weight polyalkylmethacrylate has been found to be effective in reducing the pour point of a wax isomerate to a level that cannot be obtained with conventional pour point depressants. In a preferred embodiment, the wax isomerate is a slack wax isomerate.

A susceptor according to the present invention includes a substrate having physical properties so that melting and size deformation of the substrate occur in response to microwave absorption by the susceptor. A metalized layer is coupled to the substrate, and supporting means is provided for supporting the substrate and the metalized layer.

In a first aspect, the invention involves a reactive support useful for automated synthesis of oligonucleotides. The reactive support comprises a label moiety (e.g. hapten) covalently bonded via a stable bond to a trifunctional spacer. The labeled trifunctional spacer complex is covalently bonded to a solid support via a cleavable bond. One arm of the trifunctional spacer attaches the solid phase;...

A thermal print head includes a head circuit board (2), a flattened flexible member (12) partially overlapped on the head circuit board for electrical connection thereto in a limited region which is sufficiently smaller in length than the head circuit board, and a pressure applying member (14) for pressing the flexible member into contact with the head circuit board in the limited region. The pres...

A hose or cable reeling device has a support (1) with a rotatably mounted drum (7) onto which a hose (8) or cable is reelable or windable, whereby the drum (7) cooperates with a spring device (10) which is provided to rotate the drum (7) in a reeling or winding direction (B) for reeling or winding-up the hose (8) or cable thereon, whereby a locking device (21) on the drum (7) and a latch (22) on t...

An apparatus provides a user-adjustable viewing angle for a cathode ray tube (CRT) display. The CRT may be rotated in either of two directions by depressing a control bar located along the front bezel of the display. Once set to the desired position, the control bar is released and the CRT is inhibited from rotating in both directions. Thus, the CRT may be locked in a variety of positions to suit ...
