This invention relates to a vulcanized rubber substrate such as, for example, a tire and a crosslinked, non-black rubber composition layer thereon such as, for example, a white sidewall. In one aspect, the invention relates to such a tire wherein said white sidewall is colored after its vulcanization with a contrasting colored dye. In another aspect, a dye solution is provided which is comprised o...

A golf club structure includes a head connected to a shaft via a neck. The head has a concave face to contact a ball in hitting the ball. The concavity of the face of the head provides a better controllability to the moving direction of the ball due to the fact that it provides a better chance to allow the hitting surface of the face to be normal to the desired path of the ball.

In order to improve user friendliness, the syste...

The disclosure relates to the transmission of data by packets, in a network, with a search for an optimum use of the allocated band of frequencies. The packets are all formed by a header followed by an information field. The headers are all sent out on the same carrier frequency and the radio resources allocated to an information field are limited to a parallelogram demarcated by two first paralle...

A waste-to-energy plant which is designed and operated to burn municipal waste combines a high pressure steam turbine/generator cycle and a combustion turbine/generator cycle, wherein the exit gas from the combustion turbine is utilized to superheat high pressure steam prior to entering the steam turbine. The combination of the combustion turbine/generator cycle with the steam turbine/generator cy...

The device comprises a fixture (13) fitted in the well (1) below a well covering (2) intake grid (3), locating in a clamped manner against the inside (15) of a well pipe (7), on which the well covering rests.

The continuous fluid in the interface to the heat surface is replaced with a fluid unaffected by the heat surface from the central fluid flow and gives an effective fluid changeover across the fluid flow direction without causing stirring. This involves a screw-form mechanically driven rotor set in the flow-path with a fluid feed speed counter-directed to or exceeding the fluid flow speed.

An information processing system comprises a system controller which has connection ports for connecting expansion devices and performs various arithmetic computations and general control of the information processing system, the expansion devices connected to the system controller through the connection ports, and control unit which determine types of the expansion devices connected to the inform...

A data browsing apparatus displays data automatically in an automatic page-turning mode. The data browsing apparatus has dynamic picture display parameters comprising a frame display time (w), a frame display pitch (m), and a display priority (r). The dynamic picture display parameters may be calculated based on automatic page-turning options designated by users. Dynamic pictures are displayed wit...

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for feeding reaction gas and solids into a suspension smelting furnace, which apparatus comprises at least conduits for receiving reaction gas and solids and for further conducting them into a suspension smelting furnace, and in which apparatus at least the major part of the reaction gas is fed into the suspension smelting furnace through a reaction ...
