The air intake is divided into several areas, one of which (6) forms the inlet end for the air channel (10), whilst the other areas form entrances to inlet pipes (5) leading into this channel. These inlet pipes connect with the air channel at different axial positions in a channel length section (8), and at an acute angle with this section. The inlet pipes are tapered towards this channel section,...

A control system/method for controlling the shifting of automated mechanical transmission systems (10) is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the control system/method (FIG. 4) defines the window ((OS*GRT) + K >/= ISE >/= (OS*GRT)) for synchronous engagement (for shifts other than compound upshifts) such that jaw clutch (112/114, 116/118) engagement will occur or tend to occur when the input shaf...

This invention relates to method and apparatus for compressing an assembly of plates inside a valve regulated lead-acid battery thereby allowing the battery case to expand without causing slippage or partial loss of contact between the battery plates.

The invention concerns bronze-based sintered contact components for use as slide components such as clutches and brakes and is intended to provide a sintered component comprising hard particles admixed with, and finely and uniformly distributed in, a Cu-Sn alloy matrix to provide improved friction coefficient, and in which the dispersed hard particles are inhibited from coming off the Cu-Sn alloy ...

The support has two measuring rolls (9, 10) with a gap between forming the slit. A pair of opposing rolls (12, 13) act as light guides above the support. Light is supplied by a strip light (11) below, parallel to and symmetric with the measuring rolls. Both measuring rolls and opposing rolls are thin-walled aluminum rolls. The aluminum rolls are dynamically balanced and hard anodized. Measuring ro...

The wood construction component, with a geometric shape, has zones of different characteristics from hardened molten wood materials.

A paper handling machine in e.g. a print shop moves single sheets of paper from the top of a pile and feeds (14) them singly towards the next process (5,6). The individual sheets rest on grip rods (9) and advance between a machine with an upper section (12,13) and a lower section (10,11). Following advance of the paper sheet, the grip rods release the sheet and return through a higher plane (15) t...

The invention relates to a wood component in which the wood has altered properties in geometrically defined areas. Said geometrically defined areas exclusively comprise the properties of solidified melting wood. The invention also relates to a method for producing such components and to the application of said component.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for receiving and assessing an application made by an applicant. In one aspect, the apparatus includes: computing means (23) configured or programmed to present a plurality of application forms (8) to the applicant (5), to receive the forms (8) once completed from the applicant (5) and to assess the application; input means (3,4) for the appli...

The invention concerns a method for the sanitary treatment of the free internal volume (8) of a sleeping mattress (1), in particular a spring mattress, said mattress comprising upper (2) and lower (4) surfaces, a lateral peripheral strip (6). The invention is characterised in that it consists in generating an air stream (16) flowing from outside towards the mattress free internal volume (8), activ...

A process for recovering suitable polyester feedstock material from recycled polyester includes the steps of depolymerizing the polyester into its component ester monomers and half-esters; separating the monomers and half-esters from other secondary materials; and mixing the component ester monomers and half-esters with additional monomers to produce a low molecular weight polyester. In a preferre...
