In a process for the separation of a solid-liquid mixture in the centrifugal field of a solid bowl screw centrifuge into an essentially liquid-containing and an essentially solids-containing component, it is proposed that the previously dewatered solids-containing component is deflected in the centrifugal field and is subjected to a subsequent dewatering. An apparatus provided for this comprises a...

In order to reduce the duration of the method of producing lead paste for batteries by mixing lead oxide, sulphuric acid, water and possibly conventional additives below a limit temperature with at least partial cooling, acid is first added at substantially the maximum speed possible for distribution in the mix, without causing burning therein, and so quickly that the amount of heat supplied to th...

Fuel pump P, Fig. 2, of an internal combustion engine is driven from the valve cam shaft 2 which also drives the distributor D. A cam 11 for driving the pump is separately machined and press fitted onto one end 2a of the cam shaft, and a bracket 3 surrounding that end of the cam shaft supports both the fuel pump and the distributor.

Unfilled small tube electrode plates (1) for lead-acid accumulators are positioned with their current-carrying lug (2) downwards in a filling cassette (13). The open small tube ends (6) are guided by intermediate layers (4) which consist of elastic material, for example rubber, and correspond to the small tube profile. These intermediate layers supply the compound, which is fed in via a filling fu...

PURPOSE:To shift quickly the processing mode to the abnormal condition processing when the execution of next instruction is not started even when a prescribed time has passed after starting the execution of previous instruction, by detecting the state and displaying the state through a processor as an abnormal state. CONSTITUTION:A processor 1 executes a machine instruction and outputs an instruct...

The herbicidal preparation contains a thiocarbamate as herbidical active substance and a compound of the formula I in such an amount that it acts as an antidote. The substituents in the formula I have the meaning given in Patent Claim 1. The compounds of the formula I are particularly suitable for protecting soya bean crops and other agricultural products when thiocarbamate herbicides are used.

The toe abutment member comprises a jaw unit pivotally mounted on the ski and consisting of two lateral arms adapted to cooperate with the front portion of the ski boot in order to maintain the boot in the axis of the ski, and a resilient device housed within the body of the abutment member for locking the arms in the boot-retaining position with a predetermined stiffness of release. The toe abutm...

The invention relates to a heel holder for a safety ski binding, in particular for a safety ski binding for use in both cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. The heel holder has a bearing block fixedly oriented relative to the ski and a housing which carries a sole holder. The housing is supported for an upward pivoting movement about a transversely extending axis provided on the bearing block...

Organosiloxane copolymers containing alkyl groups having from 5 to 20 carbon atoms that have beneficial utility as foam stabilizers in the manufacture of low density high resilience polyurethane foam; solutions of such copolymers; a process for producing low density high resilience polyurethane foam utilizing as a foam stabilizer said organosiloxane copolymers; and the foams derived therefrom.

The present invention relates to a safety binding for skiing, which has a body and a retaining cord which is formed from two lateral retaining clips which are articulated about the body about pivots, and two screws for regulating the position of the lateral retaining clips. This binding is characterised in that the regulating screws possess threaded parts which have inverse edges, and in that the ...

A process is disclosed for the rapid dissolution of a water soluble polymer by mixing the polymer with water and using a hydrophilic wetting agent, wherein the water is introduced under normal mixing conditions into a prepared water-in-oil polymer dispersion that is free of wetting agent, the wetting agent being added after dilution of the prepared water-in-oil dispersion with water. It is preferr...

In the case of a partial lining disc brake with brake shoes (9) held and guided in the caliper (19) on both sides of the brake disc (18) and at least one symmetrically arranged pressure plate (2) of trapezoidal cross-sectional area with a rectangular, preferably approximately annular segmental base surface actuated by the piston (1) of the wheel cylinder and acting on the back plate (8) of a brake...

In the case of a partial lining disc brake with a central, preferably cylinder-shaped brake shoe application element (3), and a symmetrical pressure plate (2) arranged between brake shoe application element (3) and brake shoe (1), that side (4) of the pressure plate (2) facing the brake shoe application element (3) is provided with a hollow cylindrical retaining collar (5), which engages in an ann...

The stabilised microporous microfiltration membranes made of polypropylene are produced by treating suitable precursor membranes with solutions of stabilisers. The solvents used in this case are swelling agents for polypropylene. The membranes produced in this manner show an improved stability to thermal and oxidative damage and are suitable in particular for plasma separation.
