In a method for drilling adjacent to a cased known first borehole a second borehole in a predetermined direction the following steps are carried out for a number of along hole depths di: measuring components of gravity acceleration and magnetic field (earth & casing); determining direction parameters alpha i; deriving magnetic polestrength components, Bp1,i and Bp2,i; applying Bp1,i/Bp2,i=s1,i/s2...

Apparatus for dispensing a predetermined length of yarn (1) in which the yarn (1) is drawn from a yarn supply (2) by a transfer means (3). The transfer means (3) includes one, and preferably two, transfer members (4,5) around which the yarn (1) is wound. Rotation of the transfer member or members (4, 5) draws yarn (1) from the yarn supply (2). The surface speed of the rotating transfer member or m...

The invention relates to a rotor 1a for impact or hammer mills whose rotor discs 1 are manufactured from casting steel and have widened hubs 3 which, according to the invention, are welded to one another at their end faces. Before the welding process, the rotor discs are joined in a centred fashion. The outer edges of the rotor discs remain - at least initially - unconnected to one another, i.e. t...

Cooking appliance with a plate made of a heat-transmitting material, such as glass ceramic, with controllable heat sources which are arranged distributed under, in or on top of the plate and can be heated by means of direct or indirect heat transfer, electrically and/or by gas, and/or by other heat-supplying media, the plate having at least two kinds of heat sources which use different types of he...

A method and apparatus for reducing the magnitude of a uniformity characteristic in a cured tire and the tire produced thereby. A signal is generated which is indicative of the magnitude of the uniformity characteristic. The signal is also indicative of the location on the tire to be corrected. At least a portion of one carcass reinforcing member of the tire is permanently deformed a predetermined...

The coiling machine winds thread onto an empty casing (11) until a full coil is formed and has several deflector guides which guide the thread (14) during the transfer process when a full coil (3) is moved from a winding position to a withdrawal position and an empty casing is moved to the winding position. The deflector guides form by contact with the thread during the transfer process a first (5...

There is disclosed a method for the production of aliphatic copolyester films.
