Gas is produced in a ferrous bath reactor 20 containing an iron melt 21 by feeding solid or liquid carbonaceous fuel (e.g. coal) 24 into the reactor 20, and blowing an oxygen-containing gas from nozzles 26,27 onto the surface 22 of the melt to gasify the fuel. The gas is collected in a space 30 through which the gas from the nozzles 26,27 is blown. In traversing the gas space 30, the gas from the ...

The disclosure relates to an article, suitable to be worn unobtrusively and with comfort by a woman in the last stages of pregnancy, which is positioned to receive and retain the amniotic fluids when released. The article may conveniently be in a form similar to a sanitary napkin belt, or may be constructed into a hospital garment, for example. Although the fluid receptacle is capable of containin...

PURPOSE:To prevent the runaway of a program securely by stopping the driving of a program by an arithmetic processor when the abnormality of a clock pulse or power source is detected. CONSTITUTION:When the abnormality detecting circuit 4 for an AC power source 3 sends a signal REST-1 to a CPU2 with the signal MP (memory protection) of software 1 which receives its signal PFD (power fail down), a s...

PURPOSE:To improve the reliability fo a device by sending the fault detection signal of a watch dog timer when the value of the timer immediately before initialization is not within a specific level range. CONSTITUTION:When an initializing signal A is not sent from a central processor 1A at specific intervals of time, the device outputs the fault detection signal B from the counter 1C of the watch...

A process for the preparation of a water-impervious surface coating on a substrate comprising applying to the substrate a layer of an aqueous bitumen emulsion containing, based on dry matter, 5-55% by weight of an acrylic prepolymer, 1-15% by weight of an air-drying alkyd resin, 40-80% by weight of bitumen, and optionally up to 5% by weight of additives, applying to this layer a glass fibre layer,...

The invention relates to a thermally insulating composite wall for any kind of tank on ships or on land. The wall comprises a self-supporting external wall, a bed of thermally insulating elements secured to said wall at least partially by means of a hardened packing material and a fluid-tight internal lining; said material may notably be a cellular material in contact with all the external surface...

PURPOSE:To prevent malfunction due to peripheral brightness and to detect finger-touched coordinates on a screen surely by arranging two pairs of optical sensor systems in X and Y coordinate systems respectively. CONSTITUTION:When a clock pulse signal 11 is inputted to a shift register 12, signals Q1-Qn are successively outputted from respective output terminals. The signals Q1-Qn are supplied to ...

PURPOSE:To ignore an instantaneously generated abnormal value and to prevent incorrect detection by comparing a value obtained by correcting the preceding value with a decision value while comparing a measured thickness value with the preceding value sequentially. CONSTITUTION:In accordance with a command from a synchronizing part 1, a transmission/reception part 3 applies a signal to a contact 6....

PURPOSE:To improve the dispersibility and orientability of magnetic powder in a magnetic coated film and the noise characteristic of a medium by dispersing uniformly the magnetic powder into the cured material of a resin binder consisting of a specific vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer resin and a polyurethane resin. CONSTITUTION:etaa denotes the apparent viscosity (CP) at 25 deg.C, x denotes...

PURPOSE:To obtain a smooth, strong and tough coated film and high density recording with excellent vertical orientability and noise characteristic by com- bining specific hexagonal ferrite, resin binder and isophorone isocyanate hardener. CONSTITUTION:Fine particles of hexagonal ferrite is a single crystal of a regular hexagonal plate and the axis of easy magnetization thereof is in the direction ...

PURPOSE:To prevent head crash and to improve durability of a disc by forming a gimbal pressing part of a magnetic head of a shape memory alloy, heating said gimbal pressing part when the disc stops rotating and stopping the heating of the gimbal pressing part when the disc rotates. CONSTITUTION:A gimbal pressing part 12 is formed of a reversible shape memory alloy such as Ni-Ti, Cu-Al-Zn, Cu-Zn-Ga...

An inexpensive, disposable, ovenproof container is produced by molding a contoured base 10 in a die 12 with suction ports 14 from an aqueous slurry of non-browning, substantially 100% bleached kraft wood pulp, and drying under pressure using heated mating dies. A liner is formed by bonding to the base 10 a 0.5-2.0 mil thick film 16 of thermoformable, substantially amorphous, substantially unorient...

The method comprises complete liquefaction of the cooling agent before its cooling is carried out by dissolving in the components of the mixture liquefied at the working pressure those which are in the vapour phase at the working pressure. The cooling agent includes difluorodichloromethane in the amount of 10-50 vol.%, a component having a normal boiling point within the range from -55 DEG C to 85...
