A ring brake has a ring braking member with a caliper arrangement rotatably supported on the ring braking member. This arrangement is particularly useful for any live axle or rotating shaft application which requires braking. The ring brake is easily secured on a live shaft and is easily secured on a live shaft and is movable therealong in a simple manner. The mounting of the caliper on the rotati...

A probe having a pair of closely spaced electrodes is immersed in the lubricant and one electrode is excited with a relatively low voltage AC current. The frequency is swept over a range of about 1 - 10,000 Hertz and the curre nt and phase angle measured at selected frequency intervals. The reactive (Z") and resistive (Z") impedances are computed for each current measurement and values of Z" plott...

A composition of matter comprising particles which contain choline chloride to be administered in a rumen-protected and post-ruminally effective form, each particle comprising a core which contains choline chloride and a protective coating surrounding the core and protecting choline chloride by ruminal activity while allowing its release into the post-rumen portion of the digestive tract of a rumi...

The present invention relates to microporous materials (i.e., materials presenting high porosity, often referred to as aerogels) based on syndiotactic polystyrene and characterized by the presence of cavities with nanometric dimensions characteristic of the delta crystalline form and to processes for their preparation. These materials are capable of absorbing with fast kinetics volatile organic co...

The present invention relates to semicrystalline films based on syndiotactic polystyrene which are characterized by two new kinds of preferential orientation of the crystalline phase with respect to the film plane and to processes for their preparation.

The dispenser comprises a body in which there is defined one receptacle which can be loaded with a quantity of detergent. On the side facing the washing chamber, the receptacle has a front wall provided with a plurality of through slots facing the washing chamber. The dispenser is intended to be fixed in the washing chamber in a position such that, in operation, the water jets emerging from a spra...
