In a process for gasification of solid carbonaceous material such as coal, powdered coal is top-blown onto a molten iron bath stored in a furnace through a non-submerged lance toward a hot spot formed by means of a jet of oxygen and steam top-blown through a non-submerged lance, the coal being blown by means of a carrier gas, and flux is optionally added into the furnace by the lump or blown towar...

PURPOSE:To reduce deformation of a battery even when the pressure inside the battery was increased or decreased to prevent decrease in battery performance by fixing two container walls parallel to plates in a thin type sealed lead-acid battery with a supporting member which is arranged vertically to the electrode plates. CONSTITUTION:A power generating element comprising a negative plate 3, a sepa...

PURPOSE:To make a torque distributing characteristic commensurate to a revolving speed securable, by converting a speed differential between both input and output shafts into fluid pressure with a fluid pressure generator, while feeding a variable torque clutch with this fluid pressure. CONSTITUTION:Rotational drive torque to be inputted into a driving input shaft 10 from an engine is transmitted ...

A four-wheel drive system for a vehicle, comprising an engine having an output shaft rotatable about an axis in a lateral direction of the vehicle; a transmission gear unit including input and output shafts each having an axis of rotation parallel with the axis of rotation of the output shaft; a first wheel drive gear unit comprising power splitting gear means to split driving power from the trans...

An automatic running work vehicle adapted to repeatedly work on the ground while automatically changing its running direction and provided with means for controlling the vehicle body so that the vehicle body will be automatically positioned, upon a change of direction after finishing one course, for the next course with its orientation and position in match with the boundary of the course.

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...

Safety binding according to Claims 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the first certificate of addition to the main patent, characterised by the fact that the upward pivoting of the boot 7 with raising of the heel gives rise to a rearward pulling action on the plate 1 and, by means of the link 30 and of the snug 37, a pulling force on the movable part of the stop located in the plane of symmetry of the said stop...

A ski binding adapted to releasably hold the front of a ski boot on a ski. The front of the boot includes front-end zone spaced from the lateral edges of the boot. The binding includes a jaw, a support, and a support zone on the jaw. The jaw is adapted to hold the front of the boot and adapted to laterally pivot in response to pivoting of the boot. The support, which is mounted on the ski, include...

An armoured submarine cable has a support collar 25 spaced from one end thereof and is secured to the armouring 26,27 of the cable on each side of the collar. The collar has an annular groove 24 which includes a radial shoulder which is downwardly facing when the cable adjacent the collar is disposed substantially vertically and which locates on flanges 23 of a support structure 21 in order to sup...

A self-emulsifiable resin powder can be dispersed in water without utilizing additional surfactants or expending large amounts of mechanical energy. Such self-emulsifiable resin powders offer numerous distinct advantages over conventional latices. One of the most important benefits that is realized by utilizing self-emulsifiable resin powders is that they can be shipped dry which is the equivalent...

(Meth)-acrylic acid esters of the formula in which R1 and R2 are identical or different and denote hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine or a C1- to C4-alkyl radical and R3 and R4 are identical or different and represent the group +TR wherein R5 and R6 are identical or different and denote hydrogen or methyl, Z denotes a straight-chain or branched C2- to C8-alkylene chain a...

PURPOSE:To prevent the intrusion of moisture from the outside, to improve damp-proofing and to obtain high reliability even by use for a prolonged term by forming a bent section to an inner lead and/or a tab lead in a semiconductor device sealed with a molding resin. CONSTITUTION:There are a path, in which moisture is permeated from the surface of a molding resin 5 and reaches a semiconductor pell...

PURPOSE:To simplify a process, and to increase mechanical strength by alternately stacking a plurality of P-type semiconductor layers and N-type semiconductor layers, forming air gaps while leaving P-N junction sections on the interfaces among both layers and coating the surface except an electrode extracting section with a hyaline while filling one parts of the air gaps with the hyaline. CONSTITU...

PURPOSE:To rigidly secure an irregular sealing surface to a sealer by forming an irregular surface at least on one of a base sealing surface and a cap sealing surface. CONSTITUTION:Irregular surfaces such as satinlike surfaces are formed, for example, on both sealing surface 1a of a base 1 and sealing surface 8a of a cap 8. After a pellet 2 is bonded to the cavity 3 of a base 1 formed with a satin...
