CONSTITUTION:The grid body is inserted from the right side along upper face 7a of the cutter lower die 17, and a cutter upper die shifting part ...

PURPOSE:To prevent the drivability from being deteriorated, by compensating a desired primary rotational speed with the use of a compensating means in accordance with an increase in load caused by operation of an air-conditioning device of the like, only in such a case that an engine torque is greater than a road load torque. CONSTITUTION:A desired primary pulley rotational speed compensating sect...

The (R) or (S) isomer of acetorphan or N-/2-acetylthiomethyl)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl/(S) alanine methyl ester is prepared by splitting of racemic acetylthio-2-benzylpropanoic acid by reaction with ephedrin, separation of the enantiomeric salt obtained, then freeing of the acid and coupling with the corresponding amino acid ester. The obtained preparations possess remarkable therapeutic activities an...

PURPOSE:To remove the slackening of a sheet and to hold the supply speed of the sheet to a predetermined value, by detecting the feed force applied to the sheet and controlling the servo motor separately driving a sheet feed means and a pull-down means corresponding to the detected sheet feeding force. CONSTITUTION:When the unwinding speed of the sheet roll 6 unwound by a sheet tracking servo moto...

PURPOSE:To perform perfect and hermetical seal square-folding packing, by slicing off the single surfaces of the tab parts of a packed product free from positional shift, and folding and uniting the tab parts so as to allow the sliced-off sides to oppose to each other to heat- seal both tab parts. CONSTITUTION:A packing material F consisting of a heat-fusible plastic film forming an inner surface ...

PURPOSE:To make it possible to rapidly enveloped and completely enclose articles with square folding, by cylindrically bending a wrapping material, and center-sealing by butt joint at the both ends in the axial direction thereof to seal the material at the center and to contain the articles during the process, and then by end-sealing the ears extending to both sides of the articles at as near side...

An exercise system includes a brace member which is attached to a person and also to a fixed position relative to a body of water. The brace member restrains the movement of a person attempting to swim in the water and allows a realistic swimming action to be performed without the need for a large swimming pool. The brace is preferably made from a resilient material and fastened to a belt worn by ...

A die-cutting apparatus includes a die roll 12 and an anvil roll 14 having a cover (outer sleeve 22) on it. The die roll and anvil roll rotate about parallel axes, the position of the anvil roll axis being adjustable, for example by means of eccentric bearings, to compensate for a reduction in the diameter of the anvil roll following trimming of the cover. An encoder 88 is provided for sensing the...

The biopsy table (21) includes a platform (22), on which the patient lies in a prone position with the breasts passing through an aperture (37). An image receptor (36) is mounted on a C-arm (27) and can be rotated about an axis (29) able to be positioned between the patient`s breasts or against the underside of a breast. A tube-head (28) which delivers X-rays to the patient is positioned at the pa...

Batteries for boats and vehicles require a CRA (cranking) battery 23 and an AUX (auxiliaries) battery 22 to ensure a start. The preferred version has an AUX battery made of parallel plates and a CRA battery made of parallel plates lying in a monobloc case in face to face positions. Each battery has a pair of CRA terminals 20,30 for the electric starter and a pair of AUX terminals 19,31 for the AUX...

A vertically oriented centrifuge swivably engaged to a support structure so as to enable the centrifuge to attain an optimal operational attitude. The centrifuge includes a bowl, a screw conveyor disposed within the bowl, a hub disposed within the upper portion of the screw conveyor wherein the screw conveyor and hub define a separation chamber, and a plurality of separating discs disposed in the ...

A database of reversion cure constants is provided by measuring a physical property of a rubber formulation at two different temperatures as a function of time, calculating a set of cure constants for the rubber formulation which account for reversion, and storing the constants for later use either to optimize cure for a given process or of a given compound, or to assure quality of a raw compound....

A method and apparatus is disclosed for transferring flexible filamentary (FM) material from one rotating winding mandrel (44,46) to another, automatically or semi-automatically in a high speed, dual head, on-line winding apparatus (HSDHWA). A simplified transfer mechanism is provided which uses only a single transfer arm (110) and a collector arm (114) for each mandrel (44;46) which results in th...
