A release ski binding having a sole plate which in its center area can be pivoted about an approximately vertical axis and can be tilted up about a transverse axis arranged in front of the vertical axis, which in the skiing position is held on the ski by a holding mechanism biased by a release spring, which holding mechanism is responsive to a swivelling movement of the sole plate relative to the ...

Improved fluorocarbon blowing agents composed of blends of (a) CFC-11, trichlorofluoromethane, with (b) CFC-123 or CFC-123a, dichlorotrifluoroethane, have been found which impart significant improvement in the solubility characteristics of rigid urethane foam systems that contain significant amounts of aromatic polyester polyols. A substantial increase in the solubility of the CFC-11/CFC-123 or CF...

A 1,2-unsaturated carboxylic acid or its ester such as acrylic or methacrylic acid or its alkyl ester is purified to remove aldehyde impurities contained therein by treating the acid or its ester with a mercapto containing compound in the presence of an acid catalyst.

A capacitor (12) which, by its charge or discharge, times the interval between successive signals at a computer output point which is being monitored so as to provide a reset signal to the computer when the interval exceeds a predetermined normal value, is held in a charge condition which produces a reset signal to the computer component, for a predetermined time after power is turned on. In one e...

PCT No. PCT/DE85/00089 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 3, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 3, 1985 PCT Filed Mar. 20, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO86/00155 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 3, 1986.A reset circuit is suggested for a microprocessor with which the microprocessor is reset, if the predetermined program ranges are left. During each cyclical input signal it is determined whether an output signal appears after a predetermined tim...

A grinding machine for workpieces having pairs of surfaces which are disposed opposite each other and each of which must be treated by the grinding wheel has one or two inverting heads each of which can removably receive one end portion of a workpiece so that the two surfaces of the workpiece remain exposed. The inverting heads can be turned in synchronism through 180 degrees between first positio...

A method and an apparatus for finely dividing a molten metal by atomization is provided herein. This apparatus includes a nozzle for feeding a molten metal and an annular atomizing nozzle to force a high-pressure liquid jet against a stream of the molten metal flowing from the feed nozzle. The atomizing nozzle is made of an annular jetting zone adapted to form a narrow opening under the pressure o...

A torsional vibration absorber device is positioned between two relatively rotatable members. A coupling member has a projection engaging a camming surface on one of the members, the camming surface being slanted circumferentially with respect to the axial direction. A wet type friction clutch is interposed between the coupling member and the other rotary member and is urged in the direction of it...

An improvement for the structure of a quench ring and dip tube combination. It is applicable to an assembly of those elements on a gasification generator at the outlet thereof. It has a hollow perforated standpipe (48) that will bleed off any accumulation of gas above the cooling water in the quench ring.
