Selected species of organic molecule, e.g. phenol, amines, pharmacologically active substances, can be extracted from aqueous solution across a non-porous silicone rubber membrane (10), e.g. 1 to 300 mm thick. A test solution (from which the molecule is to be extracted) is treated with a substance which acts to lower the solubility of the selected species therein and is brought into contact with o...

A vehicle control system monitors parameters relating to driving conditions and uses them to set control characteristics of the vehicle. Automatic transmission shift positions, suspension characteristics, power steering and throttle may be adjusted to suit road conditions and the driver's behaviour in this way. When a manual input is effected, eg. to select 'economy' gear shifting or 'soft' suspen...

In known solid bowl decanter centrifuges, the suspension is fed to the decanter centrifuges axially under excess pressure and the phases which are separated from one another in the centrifuge are discharged from the centrifuge axially. In order to bring this about, special sliding ring seals are required which are complicated, costly and also liable to faults. The risk of blockage of the radial ch...

The cured film contains as main components (A) polyvinyl alcohol and (B) at least one member selected from (a) colloidal silica having an average particle size of 5 to 200 m mu (b) an organic silicon compound of the formula R<1>R<2>aSiX3-a in which R<1> is an organic group having 1...

A slip or casting composition useful in molding or sheet casting comprising: a mixture of inorganic particulate material, an organic solvent and a dispersant for said particulate material having the structure set forth below: where R1, R2, R3 are linear or branched hydrocarbon chains, where no more than one of the R Groups is CH3 and the remaining R groups are each at least 6 to 30 carbon a...

Interior lighting fixtures having specific shielding conditions. For lighting fixtures having a center-symmetrical light exit area, a structural pattern for a grid inserted into the light exit opening of the lighting fixture is provided which meets the specific shielding conditions of the BAP picture screen workstation condition and the like and which masks the light from the lighting fixture as l...

A drive arrangement for a cutter blade, wherein operational cutting movement of the blade (11) is arranged to be derived from a servo-type motor (9) whose output is so controllable as to provide a drive output voltage/time relationship which produces a rapid initial acceleration from rest to a value which produces such angular velocity of the output shaft (10) of the motor as to establish a preter...

A rotary die cutter (10) includes an anvil roll (18) and at least one die roll (20). One or more sheet metal dies (31) with raised cutting edges (31a) are carried on the die roll (20) to cut patterns in a web of material (W) passing between the die (31) and the anvil roll (18). The die cutter (10) has a pair of rigid side frames (14) spanned by a very rigid spreader (16). While the anvil roll (18)...

To prevent gear shift shock in a vehicle power train associated with a turbocharged engine (10) and an automatic transmission (12), an air charging efficiency for engine cylinders is reduced during the gear shifting transient period, e.g., when shifting from first gear range to a higher second gear range. Therefore, when engine output is reduced by means of retardation of ignition timing at the ti...

The foremost end of the tire forming material (S) fed by the material feeding device (3) is gripped by a chuck device (4), introduced onto the tire-former (2) covered with a carcass (T) beforehand, and then mounted on the carcass (T). A presser (6) operates to press the tire forming material (S) to the carcass (T) and, at the same time, the tire-former (2) rotates at a predetermined angle and stic...

The utility model provides a maintenance free thin seal lead-acid accumulator which is dispensed with casting slab lattices. Slab lattices that have a thickness from 0.2 to 1.5 mm and are made of lead-calcium alloy are used as a current collector, and positive-negative creams are used to coat the treated surfaces of the slab lattices. The aggregate thickness of the accumulator is from 1.4 mm to 4....
