Improved filtration apparatus including a filter chamber having a metal inlet and a metal outlet defining a molten metal flow path therebetween and a filtration assembly engageable therewith disposed between the inlet and the outlet.

A device for centering and securing a pair of door handles in a door having a hole of circular cross section and a mortise lock with a square door handle mandrel. The device consists of 2 sets of three plate-shaped bodies engaging one another, the outer one having a hole for the bearing of a door handle and being larger than the door hole, a central body having essentially the same diameter as the...

The industrial truck or vehicle comprises a support body or member supporting an elevatable platform. The support body is supported and guided on both ends by a respective transverse pivot joint of a respective driving module or unit. The width of the support body and the platform is narrower than the width of the two driving units. This narrowing or reduction in width of the industrial vehicle en...

A particle containing a liquid-soluble active substance for release outside a human or animal body, said particle comprising a core with a coating thereon, said coating comprising a liquid soluble active substance is characterized in that the core has an appearance differing from the appearance of the coating, and that the appearance of the core is initially concealed by the coating and appears af...

A bacterial cell transformed with a gene encoding a desired product and with an enhancing DNA sequence capable of enhancing the production of the desired product in the bacterial cell, the enhancing DNA sequence being further characterized in that it is capable of enhancing the production of an endogenous protease in a Gram-positive bacterial cell.

PCT No. PCT/JP86/00485 Sec. 371 Date May 14, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date May 14, 1987 PCT Filed Sep. 18, 1986 PCT Pub. No. WO87/01597 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 26, 1987.A column comprising an insoluble carrier and an anti- beta 2-microglobulin antibody immobilized to the carrier can specifically adsorb and remove beta 2-microglobulin in the blood. This column is useful for the prevention and treatment of dise...

A pipe joint for thin-walled tubes (13, 14) is provided for transmission of water. The pipe joint includes a male portion (11) and a female portion (12) both of which having pressure cut threads (18, 21). At mounting thereof these portions (11, 12) are threadably engaged so that a seal ring (25) received in an annular extension (23) of the female portion (12) is brought into engagement with a coni...

The invention relates to a lock circuit which prevents inadmissible lock states, for recovering the carrier from a QAM signal in the demodulation circuit of a digital radio system. The demodulation circuit (D, VCO, TR) is connected to an input level monitoring circuit (P) and to a monitoring circuit (F) for the bit error rate, which is connected to the output, which are connected to a logic (L). A...

The crop is prepared for the threshing rotor by cutters and is fed in as a mat, or a flowing layer. The threshing rotor is inside a cylindrical duct with inwards facing spiral fins. The axial movement is generated by the interaction of sprung fingers (192) on the rotor and the fixed spiral fins. - The fingers are on elastic mounting and are displaced during the their passage through the crop. On t...

The two rotors (32,34) divide the crop into two axial flows. The common input is formed by an opening at the front of the thresher, with a common area between the rotors. The rotors rotate in opposite directions and have eccentrically driven fingers. - The fingers are operated by cam rotors inside the hollow support shafts, and impart an axial movement to the crop, as well as stirring it to loosen...

A sloping cylindrical duct (32) has a central, rotating, hollow shaft. Radial fingers (105) are mounted on an eccentric cam inside a drum, and are driven by a crankshaft. They move the crop axially and strip it to loosen the grain. - The fingers are attached to the drive shaft by adjustable plates and operate through bearing holes in the hollow shaft. They are set at angles to provide the axial fl...

Liquid dispensing method is provided, and comprises the steps of periodically rotating a liquid dispenser package to supply a liquid from a liquid supply chamber to a liquid reservoir by flowing the liquid under the influence of centrifugal force through a connecting liquid supply channel, and inhibiting foaming of the liquid while it flows through the liquid supply channel.

Flaky coloured pigments are obtained by uniformly adhering a finely divided colour pigment onto a flaky substrate by the use of an organic high molecular compound as a binder.
