According to a preferred embodiment, plural number of clarified liquid discharge ports (4) are formed on a bowl-head (3) of a rotating bowl (1). On the other hand, a ring-shaped weir (5) is mounted on the bowl-head (3), coaxially has a ring-shaped overflow cavity communicating with each liquid di...

A method and a device for cleaving a plate of a brittle material, such as, for example, glass, by means of a radiation beam repeatedly moving over the plate. The radiation beam is repeatedly passed over a desired track until the plate has been cleft along a desired line of rupture of the plate.

A procedure for shifting a transmission composed of several gear units in which a number of synchronizer linkages are provided, is so designated that during a gear ratio change in the last gear unit, that is in that unit to which the speed of all preceding gear units must be brought, all shift linkages are initially released. Following this, the shift linkages are re-established beginning with the...
