PURPOSE:To suppress short between plates by arranging cells which have no anode active material in a part of an anode grid and dispersing generation of dendrite in the anode grid. CONSTITUTION:A grid 1 has cells A in which active material is not filled, and electrolyte directly contacts the cells. For example, in a grid having a thickness of 16mm., the area of cell is such large as 122mm./cell and...

A process of producing C4-C10 ethylene alcohols of the formula: wherein (a) R1 is -CH2OH, and R2 = R3 = -H, or (b) R1 is -H, R2 = -CH3, and R3 = -CH3 or -C6H11, comprises effecting hydrogenation of the corresponding acetylene alcohols in the liquid phase on a membrane catalyst made of an alloy comprising palladium and ruthenium in a weight ratio of 90-94:10-6 respectively, wherein...

A universal winding consisting of a plurality of successive figure-8s spaced radially around a mandrel with the figure-8s being spaced such that the crossovers exist in all but one location to form a payout hole extending from the exterior of the winding into the interior of the axial opening therein in which the speed of the traverse or speed of the mandrel is varied with respect to one another i...

A shape-forming apparatus (10) for carcases of radial tyres is described. In the shape-forming apparatus (10) the expansion of the forming apparatus is exactly controlled by a central, expandable bellows (16) in which a narrow section of the, in the axial direction, central region of the forming apparatus starts the expansion. Preferably an arrangement of wires (17) extending in the axial directio...

An automatic guided vehicle travels for a predetermined distance by detecting the distance covered, and thereafter stops when the mark located at the desired stopping point is detected by at least one sensor. Obstacles on the route, and cumulative error therefore have very little influence on the vehicle's travel, so that accurate travel control is obtained.

PCT No. PCT/EP83/00032 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 5, 1984 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 5, 1984 PCT Filed Feb. 11, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/03050 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 16, 1984.A step-in heel piece for a safety ski binding which yields, in its latching position, away from the sole plate of the binding in response to the influence of external forces. The yielding heel piece improves skier comfort and accommodates vario...

A method of facilitating the incorporation of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) into a liquid formulation containing water which comprises: 1. forming a liquid premix of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose dispersed in an aqueous-free organic liquid medium in which it does not swell or dissolve, selected from the group consisting of liquified nonionic surfactants, fatty acids, anionic surfactants a...

Porous, cross-linked polymeric materials comprising hydrocarbon residues can be sulphonated to produce sulphonated polymers which are able to absorb large volumes of ionic solutions and also act as ion-exchange resins.

A process for preparing an aqueous adhesive composition which comprises preparing a solvent dispersion by mixing rubber, carbon black, vulcanizing agent, tackifying resin and accelerator with sufficient organic solvent to form a solvent dispersion and thereafter emulsifying the solvent dispersion in the presence of water to form an aqueous emulsion. The aqueous emulsion may be used to bond unvulca...

Rubber compositions and articles such as tires having improved metal adhesion and metal adhesion retention to bright steel metallic reinforcement. The improvement comprises admixing from about 0.2 to about 6.0 parts per hundred rubber (phr) of a cobalt compound selected from the group consisting of cobalt chloride bis(8-hydroxyquinolate) and cobalt bis(8-hydroxyquinolate) with a vulcanizable rubbe...

Rubber compositions and articles such as tires having improved metal adhesion and metal adhesion retention to brass and brass-plated metallic reinforcement. The improvement comprises admixing from about 0.2 to about 6.0 parts per hundred rubber (phr) of a compound selected from the group consisting of 3-amino-2-carboxy-4-chlorobenzophenone, 3-hydroxy-2-methyldiphenylamine and 5-amino-2-methyl-N-ph...

The invention relates to a method for purifying aqueous solutions containing at least one impurity element from the group consisting of arsenic, phosphorus, mercury and other heavy metals and solid matter by precipitation in at least two stages with the aid of precipitation reagents possessing ions capable of forming not-readily dissolved hydroxide precipitate. In accordance with the invention the...

A novel process for the preparation of a readily dispersible, pourable dispersion powder comprising emulsion polymerizing in the presence of a free radial initiator a mixture of 1 to 50% by weight of ethylene and 99 to 50% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer phase comprising at least one member of the group consisting of (a) 60 to 100% by weight of vinyl chloride, (b) 0 to 40% by w...
