A tap outlet (18) in a floor (12) of a vessel (10) has a shallow aperture (30) circumscribed by two drip lines (32, 34). The second drip line (34) circumscribes the first drip line (32) and is substantially coplanar with the first drip line. The two drip lines are connected one to the other by an annular hollow surface (38, 40).

A carbonaceous slurry, an oxygen-containing gas, fuel gas and, optionally, temperature moderators are fed contemporaneously and selectively into a pressurized partial oxidation zone via a process burner providing internal uniform dispersion of the carbonaceous slurry into the oxygen-containing gas and high atomization of the dispersed carbonaceous slurry. The process burner also provides dispersio...

Z1 = H, F, Cl, Br or 1-3C alkyl. n = O or 1; m = 0 or 1-6. When X = 0 (I) pref has cis stereochemistry. (I) are prepd. by hydride redn. of a suitable alpha-aminoketone, using e.g. NaBH4 in THF at -15 to 15 deg.C.

In a fuel injection pump which is capable of adjusting the fuel injection quantity by the ON/OFF control of a solenoid valve 7, the solenoid is driven by a first pulse in response to an injection timing signal and by a subsequent second pulse whose duration depends upon the desired fuel quantity. The second pulse is administered when it is detected that the valve has responded to the first pulse. ...

The invention contemplates controlled ablation of the cornea (60), using ultraviolet laser radiation, wherein irradiated flux density and exposure time are so controlled as to achieve desired depth of the ablation. Sculpturing action for corneal curvature correction results from controlled change of projected laser-spot size in the course of a given treatment, and for promoting regrowth of the epi...

A pressure sensor comprising a hollow main body (11) defining a bore (14) extending therethrough and having a detection end and an output end. A pressure sensing assembly is disposed within said bore (14) to divide it into a detection cavity (17) and an output cavity (18) through which output signal lines from said pressure sensing assembly extend. A flexible diaphragm (19) is attached to the dete...

The rotor of a rotating-field machine is mounted to the rotor shaft via a cup-shaped hub which is attached to the shaft in a region thereof proximate to one of two bearings by means of which the shaft is journaled in a stator housing. An electronic control element annularly surrounding the rotor shaft is disposed partially within the rotor hub, an end portion of the control element projecting beyo...

An easily dismantled, mobile mixer pump for preparing screed, stopping, plaster, mortar or like materials at local sites includes a pipe (10) which is inclined to the horizontal. The pipe has a section (10) which communicates with a dry, particulate material receiving hopper (2). The pipe section (10) includes a feed screw whose lower end is connected to an agitator in a further pipe section (11) ...

The body part mold system includes a method of making accurate replicas of body parts, with the steps of the method comprising using an elongate prefabricated hollow transparent support form having an opening at one end and a slit on one side, inserting the body part through the opening into the form, sealing the slit so as to be leak-proof, pouring into the support form a liquid molding material ...

The gear change in question improves the ratios and reduces noise and has many advantages from the point of view of wheel technology, can be quickly disconnected and the gear change is locked automatically. There are no registers.

A device for transferring a signal has two end points (6, 8) between which a conductor (10) extends in spiral turns and is arranged within a substantially circular cassette (K). The cassette (K) consists of two parts, a rotor (11) which is turnable about its axis and a stationary stator (12) which surrounds the circumference of the rotor and encloses the conductor (10). On the rotor (11) there is ...

Ski rack of the profiled support bar 1 type, basically to be attached to the roof of the car and comprising means for being hooked in stable manner to same, characterised in having at least one flush mount for a movable bar 2, which is moved up and away from a position of mounting flush within said support bar and back again.

In accordance with the invention provision is made for a feed housing for the insertion of loops of abrasive belt 21 between corresponding upper and lower rotating cylinders 5 in a sanding machine. The said housing 1 comprises a hollow body 2 located corresponding to each upper rotating cylinder 5 and provided externally with at least a convex surface 3 having a profile similar to profile 4 of rot...
