Cullis A continuous flow centrifugal processing system for separating whole blood into fractional components includes a centrifugal separator unit having a molded bowl-shaped outer shell dimensioned to fit within a rotatably-driven casing on an associated centrifuge apparatus. A bowl-shaped inner shell disposed within the outer shell forms...

Apparatus for the removal of yarn residue from a bobbin, cop carrier or the like, comprising a cutting element, supported by a movable support and a sensor, being formed by an elongated finger which is slidable longitudinally in a bore of a holder mounted on the support over a predetermined limited distance.

A chuck device for a tube used for supporting thread packages of textile yarns or threads comprisng a thread severing ring provided with protruding substantially tooth-shaped cutting elements and an adjacent thread guide ring which, for the purpose of guiding the thread in a direction towards the thread severing ring, is provided with a thread guide surface extending beneath the cutting elements a...

PURPOSE:To remove remaining yarn wound around a wooden bobbin of roving efficiently, by supporting a suspended wooden bobbin of roving, rotating it in the direction of roving unwinding, sucking remaining yarn. CONSTITUTION:The wooden bobbin 1 of roving suspended by a conveyor is supported by the supporting member 6 and the suction member 7, the motor 14 is started, the pressure in the suction hose...

A continuous screw centrifuge has a rotating solid-walled drum 5 and a filter 1 which extends generally transversely across the drum to filter the liquid discharging therefrom. The filter may be an annular disc mounted either on the drum or on the differentially-rotating screw 4. Apertures 10 may allow liquid to bypass a clogged filter, and baffles 11, 12 separate the filtrate from the bypass liqu...

PURPOSE:To detect the runaway and the abnormal state of an external device in a wide range by providing the first flag whose state is changed in accordance with an input signal and the second flag whose state is changed when in accordance with the state of this first flag or the execution of a specific instruction. CONSTITUTION:A runaway/abnormality detecting circuit 37 consists of an input buffer...

An elastomeric product is provided with at least one local magnetizeable area formed by incorporating therein a powdery magnetizeable material during the manufacture of the product. Identification data is magnetically recorded in the magnetizeable area or areas thus produced. The powdery magnetizeable material may be incorporated in the elastomeric product either by blending it with the other comp...

A rotary plate for a heel hold-down device of a ski binding has a central opening formed with a notch or projection along its edge and adapted in its normal angular position to engage a corresponding projection or notch, respectively formed in a fixed member; a spring means constituting with the notch and projection a detent-positioning device constantly urges the rotary plate in the longitudinal ...

Under normal skiing conditions, two lateral arms of a jaw unit cooperate with the toe end of a ski boot in order to maintain the boot in the axis of the ski and are held in position with a force designated as the inherent stiffness of release. When an excessive twisting effort is exerted on the skier's leg, the arms both move in a transverse direction with respect to the ski in order to permit lat...

The density of successive increments of a cigarette rod is measured by an apparatus which employs one or more photocells operating with ultraviolet, infrared or visible light. The radiation source of each photocell emits a beam of ultraviolet, infrared or visible light which penetrates through the wrapper and the filler of the rod and thereupon impinges upon one or more transducers which transmit ...

A heel holder of a ski binding for assuming an open position from a closed position when a ski boot is released from a toe holder of the binding, the heelholder including a baseplate, a housing mounted on the baseplate, a soleholder pivotally mounted on the housing for rotation between open and closed positions, a retaining member mounted on the soleholder for releasably retaining the soleholder i...

This invention relates to the use of Nisin an antimicrobial substance (produced by certain strains of Streptococcus lactis) for controlling the growth of spoilage bacteria in alcoholic beverages both during and after production. The process of the invention comprises adding to or incorporating in an alcoholic beverage an amount of nisin or nisin-producing culture sufficient to inhibit spoilage. In...
