Process for activating carbides of heavy metals with a large specific surface with a view to their use as a catalyst for chemical or petrochemical reactions consisting of treating the said carbides by managed oxidation under an oxidizing gas stream at a temperature between 250 DEG and 450 DEG C., maintaining the temperature for at least 3 hours and then cooling to ambient temperature, still unde...

A teeming spout has on its inside a plurality of picket-like metal segments (1) separated from one another by slots (2) and is externally surrounded by an induction coil (3). The bottom turn (7) of this induction coil (3) has a downwardly directed pitch equalization piece (8) which provides such that the field acts uniformly on the teeming stream from all sides and therefore it is not deflected.

A pneumatic tyre comprises between an outer tyre and an inflated inner tube a layer or layers of balls, themselves containing gas or liquid. If a nail punctures the outer tyre, it can deflate only a ball and not the inflated inner tube which is protected by the layer or layers of inflated balls. It is stated that the principle may be applied to hovercraft, balloons, inflatable aircraft wings, airs...

In the present invention, a slider (19) moves forward in response to an insertion of a card (12) into an inlet (13), and a shutter lever (28) is closed by a position regulation releasing operation of a shutter linked lever (80) related to the forward movement. Thus, the inserted card (12) is locked. IC data processing, for example, is carried out in this locked state. After the IC data are process...
