A dental floss holder is in the form of a box (20) with a drawer (22) in it. The bottom of the drawer includes a hub (38) which is spring biased to push a bobbin (24) mounted thereon toward an opposite side of the box. The bias is such that the bobbin drags with a predetermined force on an opposite side of the box to maintain tension in the floss. A result is that the bobbin does not unwind while ...

The invention deals with improvements in doffing of yarn packages and insertion of bobbins (either conical or cylindrical) into the cradle mechanisms of operating stations of a yarn handling machine including definition of the insertion path, retention of the bobbin relative to the operating station while axiilary operations such as formation of a thread reserve are performed, and control of the i...

1. A continuous-flow centrifuge, preferably for the industrial production of proteins from human blood plasma, comprising a cylindrical centrifuging drum which is provided with a plurality of concentrically disposed chambers which are connected together in the bottom region, the blood plasma or the like being supplied to the inner region of the centrifuging drum and a liquid phase being continuous...

A method of winding a belt-shaped member (3) is used in winding a tire member around a forming drum (11). A position of a leading end (3a) of a tire member is detected to obtain a shifted distance of the leading end relative to the forming drum. The leading end is then transferred to the forming drum, while the leading end is being moved in a width direction to make zero the shifted distance. The ...

A power train control method and system for controlling a power to be transmitting to a traction wheel (3R) of a vehicle from a vehicle engine (1) through an automatic transmission (2) for shifting its speed range according to shift patterns depending upon a speed of vehicle and a load of vehicle engine. When slippage occurring on said traction wheel (3R) is detected, the automatic transmission (2...

Method of restructuring a group of fine particles of particle sizes smaller than 100 microns, characterised in that the said particles to be restructured are placed in a cryogenic liquid bath which is inert towards the said particles, the restructuring operation proper is ensured, after which the cryogenic liquid is withdrawn, for example by evaporation. Applications to the production of meta...

Point-bonding and water-jet-softening of a sheet of flash-spun polyethylene plexifilamentary film-fibril strands provide a nonwoven fabric that is particularly suited for dyeing and use in disposable protective garments. Garments made with the nonwoven fabric are comfortable and provide a good protection against particulate matter, such as air-borne asbestos particles.
