Described herein is a method and system for sensing explosive fires by the parallel processing of signals derived from both electromagnetic radiation and mechanical wave energy simultaneously emanating from or near the source of these fires. The electromagnetic radiation or thermal energy is detected by an electromagnetic wave energy detector or a thermal detector (1 to 6) and the mechanical wave ...

A nonwoven material comprises a lofted or loftable, particle-bonded nonwoven having fibres bonded together with an adhesive binder and containing functional particles (e.g. particles of a liquid-absorbent polymer) distributed therein and attached to the fibres by the adhesive binder.

Kluyveromyces hosts and DNA expression cassettes for use in Kluyveromyces are provided for transcription of endogenous and/or exogenous DNA, and production of peptides, for enhancing production of an endogenous product, or producing an exogenous product. The Kluyveromyces hosts find particular use for secretion of a desired peptide product, where signal sequences may be native to the peptide or pr...

A single rotating NMR pi pulse provides simultaneous spatially-selective inversion or spin-echo refocussing of nuclear spins in two orthogonal dimensions. The two-dimensional spatially-selective pulse utilizes a single RF pulse, with either a square or an amplitude-modulated or a frequency-modulated envelope, and applied in the presence of an amplitude-modulated magnetic field gradient which reo...

Date May 19, 1988.The invention relates to a process for manufacturing optically active carbacyclin intermediate products from racemic cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane-2-carboxylic acids. This process makes it possible in an advantageous way to produce important interm...

The invention relates to a process and a device for removing labels from plastics containers by immersing them in a liquid bath 4 which has been heated to a temperature above the disorientation temperature of the containers and by thereafter separating the loose labels (alternatively the support pads) from the container bodies by guiding them onto an inclined sieve which vibrates such that, when t...

An apparatus for processing the interiors of elongated hollow tubes having open opposite ends, such as by acid etching, water rinsing, steam cleaning or air drying the tube interiors, includes a pair of tube clamping mechanism being operable between tube clamping and unclamping conditions. The clamping mechanisms when in their clamping conditions support the tubes in stationary side-by-side spaced...

The clamp ring (12) is of the cut type, it has components for accommodation of a tool (17) to press it apart, a distance piece (20) being then positioned in the thus produced gap.

Agglomerated particles of finely divided fabric softening bentonite and sodium sulfate particles have been found to possess improved fabric softening properties, compared to agglomerated bentonite, especially when employed in the hand washing of laundry which is subsequently line dried. Such agglomerates are also of excellent particle strength and are readily dispersible in water. The described pr...

A rubber covered roll is made of three parts (8, 6, 10). The center rubber part (6) has a lesser durometer reading than the two end rubber parts (8, 10). The three rubber parts of the roll are placed on an arbor (2) and maintained under pressure while the two end parts are vulcanized to the center part; at the same time the composite vulcanized three-part rubber structure is bonded to the arbor. <...
