An engine cylinder block having a shallow water jacket in either a V-type, in-line, or opposed engine configuration. The engine cylinder block further having an isolation chamber below the shallow water jacket forming a cavity between the cylinder bore walls and the outer engine block wall. Additionally, ventilation passages are located between the crankcase and isolation chamber through the upper...

An electrochemical gas sensor comprises sensing and counter electrodes (1,2). A conduit (15) permits access of gas to the sensing electrode (1). An electrolyte reservoir (23). A porous, block-like body (24) is positioned in the reservoir (23) for conveying electrolyte to the sensing and counter electrodes and at least partly supporting other components of the sensor.

A composition which comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an active ingredient, such active ingredient comprising L-DOPA ethyl ester in an amount which is at least 97%, by weight, of the active ingredient, and L-DOPA in an amount which is less than 1% by weight of such active ingredient is provided by this invention. This invention also provides a process for preparing such a composi...

A method for applying a closing tape to an extruded foam article is disclosed. The tape is applied immediately after the article is extruded and while the article is still subject to shrinkage, which is common with extruded foamed products. The tape is prestressed and is of a material to alleviate the problems associated with shrinkage. This method is particularly appropriate for applying a closin...

A pressure supply unit to supply pressure to a dispensing can, the unit being attached to a gas bulb containing gas under a predetermined pressure. The unit has a chamber pressurized to the desired can pressure, and one wall of the chamber is a diaphragm connected to a needle valve for regulating gas flow from the bulb. A reduction of can pressure causes the diaphragm to move the needle to release...

The filtration device 5 incorporates a plurality of filtering-membrane elements 8 each comprising a filtering membrane 10 having less than 0.1 mu m of through-hole diameter. These filtering-membrane elements 8 are vertically disposed in parallel with each other at p...

An easily-assembled, heat-resistant connector for releasably joining end portions of two capillary tubes in end-to-end fashion for use in chromatography without interrupting fluid flow or interfering with chromatographic results, comprises a cylindrical sleeve which has a bore which tapers toward a center point to form press fit seals with the tips of two capillary tubes. A first ferrule is mounte...

The invention relates to a mat (2) made on basis of a nonwoven (1). In order to make available a novel mat of this type, the invention proposes the use of fibrous parts consisting predominantly of plastic which are in part thermoplastic and low-melting and in part high-melting, the coherence being obtained by superficial melting of the lowmelting thermoplastic fibers (4). Figure 1

An electromagnetic assembly, for example for a relay, has a magnetic core surrounded by an electrical coil, and an armature closing the magnetic circuit of the electromagnetic assembly. The magnetic core is of the split pole type having a first pole and a second pole, the former being surrounded by a shading ring to produce a phase shift in the magnetic flux in the region of the poles when the ele...

A magnetic scale is formed by a plurality of non-magnetic parts arranged at equidistant intervals in all axial direction on a magnetic rod which displaces in the axial direction. The non-magnetic parts consist of first non-magnetic parts having a constant depth, and second non-magnetic parts having a different depth. A magnetic sensor which outputs a signal according to the depth and positional ch...

A first magnetic scale consisting of a plurality of non-magnetic parts are arranged axially at equidistant intervals, and a second magnetic scale consisting of a plurality of non-magnetic parts arranged axially at unequal intervals, are formed parallel to each other on a rod consisting of a magnetic material which can be displaced in the axial direction. The non-magnetic parts of the second scale ...
