An electrical system for controlling the number of positive and negative battery plates contained in a battery element produced by a conventional stacking apparatus. The system includes a detector coupled to a first counter for determining the number of cycles of the apparatus and for activating a dispensing apparatus to provide an additional negative battery plate on the battery element. A second...

A winding device for a conical cross-wound coil wherein the coil is driven by peripheral friction applied to a predetermined part of the length thereof constituting a friction zone, and the thread that is to be wound on the coil is fed thereto by a thread guiding member, means for reducing the angle at which the wound threads cross on the cross-wound coil in the friction zone with respect to the t...

A card locking device for use in a time recorder which is constructed in such a manner that while a wire type dot matrix type printer performs its printing operation such as time printing or the like on a time card inserted into a card guide passage, a locking lever is effective in clamping the inserted time card in the card guide passage for the purpose of preventing it from being removed therefr...

PURPOSE:To improve the reliability of an MCU system by applying an interruption to a microcomputer (MCU) from a timer circuit, when an abnormality is generated in a watch dog timer circuit, and generating an abnormality output to the outside from the MCU. CONSTITUTION:A counting completion value of a counter 11 is set so as to be a little longer than one normal period of a clock for a watch dog ti...

A carbon reinforced, partially cross-linked butyl rubber matrix sealant composition as described is particularly suitable for use as a self-healing tire puncture sealant. The sealant composition comprises a high average molecular weight butyl rubber and a low average molecular weight butyl rubber in a ratio of high to low molecular weight butyl rubber of between about 20/80 to 60/40, in admixture ...

The solid fuels are gasified in a fixed bed under a pressure of 5 to 150 bar with gasifying agents containing oxygen, steam and/or carbon dioxide. The incombustible mineral constituents remaining during the gasification are tapped as molten slag. Pulverised and fine-grained fuel is injected by means of a carrier gas into the lower region of the fixed bed. The pulverised and fine-grained fuel has a...

A coating composition suitable for painting onto a polyethylene or polypropylene article comprises by weight:- (a) 100 parts of an acrylic copolymer containing 0.3 to 30 wt.% of an acrylic monomer containing basic nitrogen, e.g. in an amino ester of (meth)acrylic acid, and 99.8 to 30 wt.% of another monomer, (b) 0.5 to 30 parts of an epoxy compound having three or more epoxy radicals, which brid...

A first and second valve respectively associated with the then-present and the newly selected gear during a gear shift operation are operated with positive overlap at the beginning of the shift process if the engine is upshifting under load or downshifting under no and at the end of the shift process if the engine is upshifting under no load or downshifting under load. During the shift process the...

An insulating film is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and the insulating film on that part of the semiconductor substrate where an emitter is to be formed, is removed to expose the surface of the above part. A polycrystalline or amorphous silicon film is deposited on the entire surface, and then irradiated with a laser beam to convert that portion of the polycrystalline or amorphous silicon f...

A pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable amphipathic, non-cross linked linear, branched or graft block copolymer, which has a minimum weight average molecular-weight of 1000, in which the hydrophobic component is biodegradable or hydrolytically unstable under normal physiological conditions, and the hydrophilic component may or may not be biodegradable or hydrolytically unstable under such co...

A soft fluoropolymer having a modulus of rigidity of 5-200 Kg/cm<2> is used to line a denture base. The fluoropolymer lining can be applied to the denture base by means of heat and pressure, thereby obviating the need for an adhesive. The fluoropolymer is selected from copolymers of various unsaturated fluoromonomers or CF3.NO; F- containing silicone rubber; F- containing triazine rubber; and F- c...

PURPOSE:To generate programs easily and efficiently, by making it unnecessary to be conscious of contents of the vector register or the mask register in case that contents of these register are used as operands to perform various operations. CONSTITUTION:Vector register 1 of M-number elements and mask register 2 of M-number elements corresponding to register 1 are provided, and further, vector len...
