PURPOSE: To retrieve yarn end on a yarn-feed spool by forming the device configuration from a means to generate an air stream, a means to put the whole surface of the yarn-feed spool in contact with the air stream, at least one suction hole to be coupled with one side of the spool, and a sendout device. CONSTITUTION: A yarn-feed spool 1 is mounted on a supporting table 2. A means 5 to generate an ...

The method involves the use of two nozzles (5 and 6) which alternatively blow air jets against a yarn in the central portion of a channel (1), these nozzles being symmetrically placed in relation to a plane containing the channel axis. The jets blowing frequency is of several hundreds of Hz. A deflector (3) in the bottom of channel (1) can deviate the beating thread sidewise and consequently impar...

A method for manufacturing yarn guiding rings, includes a first step of blanking a plate (3) to form a plate body (1) constituted by a supporting element (7) and by a fork element, and a second step of bending the fork in order to obtain a circular ring. The fork element has two arms (5). Each arm is constituted by two portions with different curvatures (R, S). The outer portions of the arms are f...

In a device for the knotless joining of threads and yarns using compressed air, a chamber is provided including central region of substantially U or V cross-section, possibly with a flat base, and two lateral regions of substantially circular cross-section. The slits of the three regions, through which the yarns to be joined are inserted, form a continuous common gap which is closable frontally by...

A lacquer coating is applied to a laminated metal composite forming a sliding element such as a plane bearing and has particles of solid lubricants incorporated therein to form islets of greater thicknesses than the surrounding film and which serve as lubricant-trapping surface formations. The particles may be of polytetrafluoroethylene, fluorinated graphite or molybdenum disulfide and the lacquer...

A system for stereotactic-guided radiation therapy, method of stereotactic-guided radiation therapy, and a collimator useful in treating a patient with stereotactic-guided radiation therapy includes a variable length pathway (317) for the beam of radiation (311), the pathway having associated therewith a material (318) substantially equivalent to the tissue of the patient (305), whereby the radiat...

A bedding system for use where mite-allergy is a problem causing e.g. asthma comprises a permeable mite barrier (12) such as microporous or vapour permeable coated fabric which can be used as a mattress cover or ticking, pillow and duvet covers.

A safety ski binding for holding a ski boot on a ski compensates for biases of violent but brief intensities. A shock absorber is located within a compression spring which presses against an adjustment nut. A rocking device transfers the movement of the shock absorber during a violent bias to the adjustment nut to cause additional compression of the spring. At least one hole is in the piston of th...

The present invention deals with textured, molded articles having multiple sheet layers, comprising: a) an outer coating layer; b) a middle layer of a urethane and/or urea group containing film prepared from a heat curable composition storage stable at room temperature; and c) a backing layer of non-cellular or cellular polyurethane which optionally can contain an insert and/or reinforcing materia...

The present invention is directed to a polyester film comprising at least at its surface portion oriented sulfonic acid groups and/or salts thereof with an orientation degree of 5 - 100, which has an excellent adhesiveness, especially excellent anti-alkaline adhesiveness. The present invention also make it possible to provide a polyester film having, in addition to the excellent adhesiveness, exce...

A video inspection system includes first and second video cameras mounted along parallel axes. A lighting array is pulsed, and resultant light is reflected from a specimen to both cameras. Orientation of the specimen is determined in accordance with an image generated from a first camera. This data is used to isolate a selected portion of the specimen for analysis by an image generated from the se...

A translucent hemispherical diffuser provides shadowless, uniform illumination of an object to be inspected or otherwise viewed. The optical medium of the translucent diffuser has a milk glass optical consistency, and/or one or more surfaces of the diffuser may be textured to diffuse light entering or leaving the optical medium of the diffuser. The hemispherical diffuser is placed between a light ...

Errors in applying liquid sample are judged during biochemical analysis wherein a droplet of liquid sample is applied to an analysis medium containing a reagent, which chemically reacts with a specific constitutent in the liquid sample, the analysis medium is then incubated, the optical densities of the analysis medium are determined, and concentration of the specific constituent in the liquid sam...

Disclosed herein is a polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate film for capacitors and, in particular, a polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate film which is excellent in heat resistance and mechanical strength and is useful for the dielectric of a chip type plastic film capacitor which requires a very thin film.

Disclosed herein is a biaxially oriented polyethylene naphthalate film which shows the haze-increasing rate, represented by the formula: Haze-increasing rate (%)=[(H2-H1)/H1x100 wherein H1 is the haze before subjecting the film to heat treatment and H2 is the haze after subjecting the film to heat treatment, of not more than 20% and both the heat shrinkage in the longitudinal direction and the hea...
