This process which uses a lead alloy, latticed continuous band (1) coated with active material, covered on both sides by protective layers (3, 6) and compacted with the aid of rollers (8 and 9), consists in cutting up the band (1') into plates and in subjecting the cut-up plates (10) to a thermal conditioning (or stabilising) procedure in an oven (D) or in an autoclave, so as to confer upon the pl...

Apparatus and method for splicing the ends of spun yarn by inserting the yarn ends into two air jet nozzles, in which they are doubled and subjected to an air jet to join them each other. Yarn end cutting and holding devices for the top yarn and the bottom yarn and automatic yarn inserting devices are disposed at each end of the jet nozzles.

A full jacket-worm centrifuge is disclosed for continuous separation of water-sludge mixtures. The centrifuge has a cylindrical drum jacket with a conically tapered portion in a direction of a solid matter discharge. A worm conveyor having cylindrical and conical portions is arranged within the drum jacket. Between a slurry inlet on the drum jacket and the solid matter discharge a liquid separatio...

A compressed air thread splicing device for producing a thread connection by splicing includes a splicing chamber having at least one opening formed therein through which compressed air is blown into the splicing chamber for mutually entangling, hooking, intermingling and winding fibers of threads to be spliced together in the splicing chamber, pneumatic holding devices disposed at two sides of th...

A single body of plastic material has three converging coplanar radial arms and a perpendicular central hole. Each arm has an axial seat with a blind bottom to receive one end of the tubular structure and means for locking said end. The central hole is designed to receive a rotation hub.

An automatic control circuit for applying and releasing a brake, controls relays around the device, lights lamps and other parts to be operated differently under different circumstances, e.g., braking while running, braking to stop, releasing the brake pedal after braking, starting, parking after braking, and operation when the car stops with semi-automatic parking brake operation. The automatic c...

Polyoxyalkylene surfactants for cellular foams can be prepared by reacting under free radical polymerization conditions (1) an unsaturated polyoxyalkylene adduct and (2) an esterified unsaturated dibasic acid ingredient, wherein unsaturated diester ingredient (2) either completely or partially comprises a fumarate diester.

PURPOSE:To realize a method for quantitative determination having high sensitivity, responsiveness and repetitive accuracy by fluidizing a soln. contg. protein into a carrier liquid flow passage then passing the 1st and 2nd standard liquids and fluidizing thereafter a material to be inspected. CONSTITUTION:An electrode 5 for detecting the material to be inspected and an electrode 6 for detecting a...

A suture needle comprises a suture (3) and a needle body (1) in which a groove (1a) is extended in a substantially overall longitudinal direction of the needle body (1). The suture is inserted into the groove and firmly fixed therein by caulking both sides of the groove. Accordingly, disengagement of the suture from the needle body is entirely prevented. The suture needle which is used for surgica...

The plate has a number of oblong holes arranged at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction and intended for receiving bone screws, the oblong holes (19) being arranged only in one longitudinal section (13) of the plate (10), whereas the other longitudinal section (12) has circular holes (17), and an oblong slide plate (20) which can be applied to the outside of the plate is provi...

The ply turn-down fingers are mounted between an inner and outer ring. One ring being formed of an elastomer having mechanical properties of those of rubber and plastic. To remove a finger, the mounting screws nearest the fingers turn-down each side thereof and are removed. The elastomer ring is then bent or distorted away from the finger a distance to free its toe and the finger is withdrawn. A r...
