The apparatus includes a shuttle feed device for containing a plurality of stacks of electrode plates of common polarity and successively dispensing a single plate from each stack, a walking beam transfer device for successively receiving plates from said shuttle device and moving the plates into a row...

A proportional detector for the localization of particles comprises a leak-tight chamber filled with fluid and fitted with an electrode of a fisrt type consisting of one or more conducting wires and with an electrode of a second type consisting of one or more conducting plates having the shape of a portion of cylindrical surface and a contour which provides a one-to-one correspondence between the ...

In a method of manufacturing positive tube plates for accumulators a mixture containing essentially Pb and Pb compounds is filled into the tubes of the tubular pockets, which contain a lead core connected to the terminal strip, from the ends of the tubes remote from the terminal strip, until the tubes are full, whereupon the filling openings of the tubes are closed. In this method lead dust is gra...

A method of making coreless hollow filament bundles comprises winding a hollow filament 20 around a drum 22 having a number of axially extending vanes 24. The winding is formed in layers, each layer being a helix and adjacent layers being wound in opposite directions axially of the drum so that all the turns of the helix forming one layer cross all the turns of the helices forming the adjacent lay...

A tension-proof thread joint, includes two endless threads pointing in different directions, the threads having ends lying adjacent each other in lengthwise direction thereof forming a common thread end with an end section, the common thread end being twisted through one and one-half turns forming a loop with a thread eye formed therein, and the end section of the common thread end being extended ...

A compressed gas splicing head assembly in an automatic splicing device for producing a knot-free thread connection by splicing, includes a compressed gas splicing head having a splicing channel with two ends formed therein defining a plane of symmetry in longitudinal direction of the splicing channel, the splicing head having outlets for the splicing channel formed therein, and the splicing head ...

A process for the preparation of the enantiomeric pairs (1R-3R- alpha S+1S-3S- alpha R) and (1R-3S- alpha S+1S-3R- alpha R) from a mixture of all 8 stereoisomers of the compound alpha R/S-cyano-3-phenoxy-4-fluorobenzyl 3R/S-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1R/S-cyclopropanecarboxylate, comprising dissolving the mixture in a secondary or tertiary alkylamine having 2-6 C atoms per alkyl radical, su...

An electrode for use in fiber optic scopes has a connecting end and a discharge end and includes an elongated flexible center conductor and an inner insulation sleeve extending along and covering the conductor. An outer insulation sleeve extends along and covers the inner insulation sleeve and leaves a gap therebetween to define an irrigant conduit between the inner and outer insulation sleeves. A...

A device for detecting any defects in single faced corrugated fiberboard while it is running. A light is irradiated to the corrugated surface of the fiberboard and the striped image is scanned by an image pick-up unit and the picture signal is converted to binary-coded signal to discriminate the number of stripes or corrugations. The number is counted by a counter and compared with a normal number...

A rivet driver for easily fastening a rivet comprising a male shank and a female tube to separate members has a construction such that the separate members may be united by hydraulically driving the male shank into the female tube to thereby cause the female tube to be radially expanded outwardly and that upon completion of this hydraulic driving, it feeds a subsequent rivet to the supply position...

Thin, filled, drawn polyester films, single-layer or composite and comprising at least one filled outer layer which has a total roughness lower than 0.15 microns, this filled layer containing from 0.02 to 0.3% of a fine filler (titanium oxide etc) with a median diameter of lower than 0.5 microns and a volume shape factor greater than 0.08 and less than 0.02% of a coarse filler (calcium carbonate, ...

The process comprises blending 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin with 50 to 500 parts by weight of barium sulfate preferably having an average particle diameter of 0.1 to 7 mu m melting the resulting resin composition and forming it into a film, and then stretching the film at least uniaxially by a factor of 1.5 to 7. The polyolefin resin preferably has a melt index of 0.5 to 7 and a dens...

There is disclosed an entangled nonwoven fabric having a layer of fusible fibers on one or both surfaces of a relatively thick layer of base fibers. The fusible fibers are either homofil or conjugate fibers having an exposed low melting point component which have a lower melting temperature than the base fibers. The thermoplastic fibers are located on the outer surface of the base fibers either pr...

A non-woven facing fabric for absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins with improved water repellency and stain resistance. The facing fabric comprises a web of hydrophobic fibres intermittently bonded with an absorbent binder material and top coated with a repellent material. Preferably, the web has a plurality of apertures therethrough.
