11 IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PNEUMATIC TYRES A method and apparatus for use in the manufacture of pneumatic tyres, in which a pair of tyre bead assemblies are held in accurately spaced relationship against opposite ends of a tube. Tyre carcass material carried on an expansible former is located within the tube and expanded to engage the bead assemblies, projecting ends of the carcass mate...

A device for transferring and monitoring the load applied to a die cutting roll in a press has pressureindicating means for registering applied force. By utilizing an elongated member having such pressure indicating means adjacent each of its opposite ends, or by utilizing two such devices with an assist roller mounted therebetween, the force applied to the opposite ends of the underlying die roll...

A convertible sofa-bed is disclosed which has a seating area, a back rest, and a mechanism support frame located below the seating area. A folding mechanism for supporting a mattress when the mechanism is unfolded and for supporting a seat in the seating area when folded with the mechanism located within the frame below the seat is also provided. The mechanism has first, second and third main sect...

While a user program is being executed, an abnormality detection program instruction which is part of the user program is executed, and in accordance with the result of logical operation between input and output data specified in the abnormality detection program, plural abnormality flags are set or reset respectively. As a result of this, all of the abnormality flags which are set are detected. A...

A METHOD OF FORMING A LONG FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC A relatively long fiber reinforced polyurethane article formed by forming relatively long fibers into a composite, binding said fibers to each other to set or fix the composite, filling said composite with a urethane precursor and reacting to form a long fiber reinforced polyurethane article.

In order to avoid producing any secondary waste in the production of a fibrous and a granular material from household, agricultural, forestry waste, organic waste of the manufacturing and/or service industries, the primary waste first undergoes an opening treatment in an opening unit and then, after removal of any metallic components by magnetic separation units, is divided into three fractions. S...

SERIAL KEYBOARD INTERFACE SYSTEM In data processing systems it has been proposed that a keyboard and a data processing unit be interconnected through a data line and a clock line so as to transmit keyboard outcodes bit-serially through the data line and to transmit a keyboard out clock signal through the clock line. This could result in false operation however due to noise being induced in the int...

A portable clamp and anchor to restrain feet during sit-up exercises having two clamp pieces which are adjustably positioned on the bottom of a door and a foot restraining piece which is adjustably positioned relative to the clamp pieces. Hook and loop fasteners are used to connect the pieces together during use.

This invention relates to a process for preparing free-flowing stabilizer and lubricant compositions for halogenated polymers comprising combining two or more lubricant and stabilizer components to form a mixture of powdered compounds, which mixture consists at least partly of organic compounds and lubricants and stabilizers solid at room temperature, and intensely fluid-mixing said mixture togeth...

In a process for the production of a shaped article involving the remelting of a polyamide which has been subjected to a drying stage, such as that which occurs during solid phase polymerisation, the stage of conditioning the polyamide prior to remelting can be reduced or even avoided by adding a controlled amount of water to the polymer when molten or immediately prior to its remelting.

An amplifier exploits Miller-effect capacitance in a cascaded multi-stage self-limiting amplifier arrangement to achieve automatic adaptive bandwidth behavior (without the use of an active feedback control loop). The Miller-effect capacitance varies in accordance with the amplifier signal-level, with the capacitance in turn varying the amplifier bandwidth. Bandwidth is decreased for low-signal-lev...

A composition useful in producing an open-cell, elastomeric silicone foam combines a silicone oil-in-water emulsion, which forms an elastomer upon removal of the water, with an aerosol propellant. When the composition is discharged to atmospheric pressure, a froth is formed. Removing water from the froth yields an open-cell foam. The froth is stabilized by surfactants, thickeners, or froth stabili...

Pouches containing a flowable material e.g. milk, ice cream, are disclosed. The sealant film from which the pouch is made is selected from about 50 to 100 parts by weight of a linear copolymer of ethylene and a C6 - C10 alpha-olefin, and from 0 to 115 parts by weight of at least one polymer selected from a blend comprising linear a copolymer of ethylene and a C4 - C10 alpha-olefin, and a high-pres...

DELUSTERING COATING COMPOSITION EXCELLENT IN ABRASION RESISTANCE A coating composition curable by an activation energy ray, which comprises (a) 100 parts by weight of a monomer mixture (A) comprising at least 30% by weight of a compound having at least 3 acryloyloxy and/or methacryloyloxy groups in the molecule and up to 70% by weight of a compound having 1 to 2 a,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated ...

There is disclosed a thermal bonded entangled nonwoven fabric including conjugate fibers having an exposed low melting point component and a component having a higher melting point. The fabric may include only conjugate fibers or the conjugate fibers may be combined with other fibers. The fabric is formed by forming a web containing conjugate fibers, entangling the fibers of the web, heating the w...

A multiwell tissue culture assembly comprises a plate and a lid. The plate includes a plurality of wells for receiving liquids therein. Upstanding side walls form the outside border of the plate. A ledge is spaced inwardly of the side walls and extends around the plate between the side walls and the wells. The lid is removably positioned on the plate and includes a substantially planar cover exten...
