A inching system adapted for releasing a transmission clutch to disconnect engine power delivery in an industrial vehicle comprises a main pump for creating pump pressure; a brake pedal operated by a driver; a master cylinder communicating with the main pump through a pump pressure supply conduit for producing brake pressure in to perform a brake operation as the brake pedal is pressed; a charging...

A magnetic actuator for adhering a moving piece (36) to a pole piece (38) separated therefrom by an air gap when an electrical circuit (34) is excited, at least one intermediate piece (42) being movably arranged in said air gap between the moving piece and the pole piece, and defining, in the absence of excitation (inoperative state), gaps (e1, e2) between the intermediate piece(s) and the moving ...

The prepn. of a catalyst for structural isomerisation of a linear 4+c olefin to its corresp. methyl branched isoolefin involves: (a) mixing (i) zeolite powder comprising at least one zeolite with \- one-dimensional pore structure having a pore size sufficiently small to retard by-prod. dimerisation and coke formation and sufficiently large to allow entry of the linear olefin and formation of the i...

A method of inhibiting Ras function and therefore inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells is disclosed. The method comprises the administration of a compound of formula (1.0) to a biological system. In particular, the method inhibits the abnormal growth of cells in a mammal such as a human being. Novel compounds of formulae (5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.3A and 5.3B) are disclosed. Also ...

The sample material (F) is illuminated and the light reflected from the sample material is measured, the presence of foreign matter being deduced from a change in the reflected light. In order to detect foreign matter which is darker than the sample material (F), the sample material is imaged on a sensor (5) in front of a bright background (4), and in order to detect brighter foreign matter, it is...

A processable poly(hydroxy acid) composition which has been stabilized by adding to the polymer during the melt processing stage 0.05-3% by weight of a peroxy compound the degradation of which produces one or more acid radicals, and which has good melt strength and elasticity. The melt strength is high enough to produce films with conventional methods as the film blowing method.

A procedure to determine the inflow of oil and/or gas from an oil and/or gas reservoir under the surface of the Earth into a wellbore in the reservoir. Traceable material with different identifying characteristics, e.g. different radioactive isotopes, is separately inserted or arranged in connection with different zones, places or regions along the length of the well. During production of oil and/...

The additive contains a highly swelling, water-insoluble, highly polymeric substance as gel former which is coated with or dispersed in a water-soluble release agent which does not cause the gel-former particles to swell. The release agent is preferably a polyethylene glycol and is employed in an amount of from 10 to 100% by weight, based on the amount of gel former.

The torque transfer point detection, for a friction clutch (5) operated by a setting drive (7), between a vehicle engine (1) and transmission (3), uses a r.p.m. sensor signal, a clutch position sensor signal and a signal representing the travel parameters. A data memory (13) holds clutch control data representing the actual clutch engagement point which can be updated in dependence on the detected...

Prodn. of a product or semi-finished product from extruded material (3) by delivering the material as a continuous strand (41-4n) from an extrusion head (7) and by gravity depositing it onto a collection support (5). The support (5) is movable relative to the head (7) in a controlled way (11,13,14) so that the material, flat has not yet solidified can be deposited in any pattern. At each crossing...
