The adhesive-coated strips (11) are taken off the end of a conveyor (1) by pick-up plates (9). The strips are directed over a shaped lip (5) formed by a hollow duct (7) and there are air jets (6) on the downstream side of the lips. This provides an airflow under the lifted strips and passes them to the air-cushion support surface (20). The air jets are spaced along the lip and are shaped to provid...

A non-metallic bobbin (22) has features on a radial flange (28) which allow magnet wire (MW) that forms an electromagnet coil (114) on the bobbin core (24) to be tensioned throughout. An end segment of magnet wire is wrapped around a post (56) on the bobbin flange, and the magnet wire runs in tension generally diametrically across the bobbin to pass through slots (66, 68) in opposite walls of an e...

The first circuit inputs a clock signal from MICON. The second circuit inputs a clock signal corresponding to the clock signal from the first circuit, and outputs a judgment signal continued for a specified time from the time when the clock signal is inputted. The judgment signal is inputted to the third circuit. A standby signal from MICON is inputted to the third circuit. When MICON is normal, t...

A throttle valve for an internal combustion engine includes a body (12) having a throttle bore (14) defining an axis (16). A throttle plate (26) is moulded within the throttle bore (14), thereby providing a relatively exact throttle plate to throttle bore positional relationship. The throttle plate (26) may be integrally moulded within the throttle bore (14) and attached to the throttle body (12)....

An electrical circuit system which provides electrical energy to a surgical apparatus having ultrasonic fragmentation, aspiration and electrosurgical coagulation capabilities, which system also includes an impedance sensing network and automatic feedback power output control to reduce RF power output as load impedance increases, thereby reducing RF leakage current.

A single piece soft foldable IOL having open loop haptics of specific thickness and geometry. The unique geometry provides an IOL with improved fixation and centration.

A process for the production of rigid polyurethane foams is provided which comprises the reaction of (1) an organic polyisocyanate; (2) an isocyanate-reactive composition containing a plurality of isocyanate-reactive groups; and (3) a blowing agent comprising isopentane and n-pentane in a ratio of 99:1 to more than 80:20 parts by weight under foam foaming conditions.

A new process is described for recycling polyesters. In accordance with the described process, postconsumer or scrap polyester is reacted with glycol to produce a monomer or low molecular weight oligomer by depolymerization of the polyester. The monomer or oligomer, as the case may be, is then purified using one or more of a number of steps including filtration, crystallization, and optionally ads...

The binding has a fixed body (3) with two arms (5,6) that are pivoted independently so that they can separate. They form levers that act on the end of a rod whose other end is joined to an adjustable stop (14). A spring, between the stop and a fixed stop, is adjusted by the adjustable stop. An index mark (15), on the adjustable stop, cooperates with graduations (22) on a plate (20). One end of the...

Foamed cellular material from polyester resins obtained by extrusion foaming of polyester resins having melt strength higher than 8 centinewton, intrinsic viscosity greater than 0.8 dl/g and complex melt viscosity higher than 25000 poises.

Die Montage von Getriebeölkühlern in den Wasserkästen von Motorkühlern ist umständlich oder macht relativ große Wasserkastenräume erforderlich. Es wird vorgeschlagen, die zur Befestigung der Anschlußstutzen solcher Getriebeölkühler notwendige Schraubflanschanordnung aus einem fest mit dem Wärmetauschkörper verbundenen Gewindering (7) und einer mit diesem verschraubbaren Hohlschraube (23) auszubild...

A silicon wafer measuring method includes: (a) a first step of measuring a light transmission characteristic (IOBS) of the pulled silicon wafer by incidence of parallel polarized light at Brewster angle into the pulled silicon wafer, (b) a second step of measuring a light transmission characteristic (IO) of a floating zone silicon wafer functioning as a reference silicon wafer both front and rear ...

A process for the recycling of the overspray formed in the spraying of solvent-containing polyurethane paints, by washing the overspray out of the air extracted from the coating plant by means of an aqueous phase containing dissolved or dispersed compounds which are highly reactive towards isocyanate groups, isolating the thus-modified overspray as a paint sludge using coagulants, mixing the paint...

The peripheral ring of a sectorised mould for tyres is constituted by a set of metal sheets 1 bearing on each other and stacked so as to be mutually pushing each other back. The ring therefore has the permanent tendency to increase in diameter. This tendency is combated by, for example, a conical shrink-fit element (hoop) which radially and simultaneously pushes back all the metal sheets 1.

The invention pertains to a portable hand device with biosensor for the investigation of biological fluids such as whole blood, liquor, urine and serum. It is characterized by a securely fixed electrode, which is covered by a replaceable biomembrane, as reservoir bag containing system solution and a waste bag, a pump, a tube transport system, an operating lever with a valve function, three operati...

A label is formed from a film wherein the film includes a layer of a polypropylene polymer resin, the layer containing microvoids which have been formed by stretching a web containing the beta-form of polypropylene. Preferably a nucleating agent, such as an amide, is used to induce formation of the beta-form of polypropylene. The film may be stretched biaxially with an area stretch ratio of at lea...

A biaxially oriented polyolefin film having a thickness of at least 50Ám comprises a layer of a polypropylene-based polymer resin containing microvoids which have been formed by stretching a web containing the beta-form of polypropylene at an area stretch ratio of at least 15:1.
