The direction of rotation of the centering spindle (5) is reversible. Both threaded grooves have different core diameters (d1, d2), the smaller core diameter (d2) being...

A reducing gas is generated in a molten metal bath wherein fuel, oxygen and a flux are injected into a pressure-tight vessel beneath the bath to produce a partially-desulfurized partial-oxidation gas having a hydrogen and carbon monoxide content of at least 50% and the process is controlled by injecting steam or a fuel rich gas consisting substantially of hydrogen, carbon monoxide methane, or a mi...

A motor vehicle has a vehicle body (21;31) to which is secured a corrosion protection device (10;20;) comprising a sacrificial anode made of a less noble material than the vehicle body, whereby in use, an electrolytic cell is created between the sacrificial anode (10;30), the body (21;31;) and moisture in electrical contact with both the sacrificial anode and the body, so that the sacrificial anod...

An electromagnet, for valves, comprises thin-walled axially symmetrical parts and is adapted to different uses by special air gap arrangements and armature suspensions; the electromagnet generates high magnet forces at low armature mass and is employable, in particular, for actuation of fuel injection valves for internal combustion engines and in general hydraulics; the electromagnet possesses a h...

A method for the splicing of two twisted staple yarns includes the steps of untwisting portions of each yarn, drafting these portions to form beards and retwisting the beards to form the splice. In one aspect of the invention, the untwisting is effected by rolling the yarns between two surfaces at nip point to rotate the yarns. In a second aspect, each yarn is gripped between nips at two locations...

It is often desirable to produce a laminate that simulates another product, e.g. a wood grained surface. However, although it has been possible to use a decorative surface having a print pattern thereon and texturize the surface, it has not usually been possible or convenient to impart a texture conforming to the print pattern. This invention concerns an improvement in the production of textured d...

A decanter centrifuge, in particular a counter-current machine in which a conveyor worm running at a speed differential with respect to the drum is arranged inside a rotating drum, the machine being characterised in that a particularly good clarifying effect is achieved by influencing the flow of the liquid and/or the already sedimented solid particles. Preferably, an intensive clarifying range is...

An X-ray generator projects X-rays into an object under examination. An X-ray detector detects the X-ray image data transmitted through the object. The transmitted X-ray image data is digitized by an A/D converter and visually displayed by a monitor. For effecting such display, an X-ray shield member having an X-ray shield section configured in a predetermined pattern is set in an X-ray projection...

A system for handling and pyrolyzing municipal solid waste material; the pyrolyzing being performed in coke ovens (20) of the type used in the steel industry. The municipal solid waste material is shredded (11) to produce a particle size of approximately four inches. The shredded waste material is conveyed to a splitter arrangement (13) wherein the flow of waste material is divided into selectable...

The process is disclosed for the manufacture of briquettes in which an essentially solid fuel material such as hard coal, coke, soft coal, charcoal or more particularly, anthracite, and other coals of low volatility are mixed in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol and calcium oxide and/or magnesium oxide, as well as at least 1 percent by weight of water, and formed into briquettes. The calcium oxide...

A high reliability electrical power system is provided with a microprocessor-based control unit which maintains power output and performs control functions for the system which is driven by the power system.
