The equipment comprises a separation cell (2), containing a rotor (3) with hammers (4) and with a supply hole (22), connected to the system of feeding free material (5) subject to crushing. The system includes a service corridor (110) with a funnel (111) for feeding the material (5) and a means (7) for moving the material (5) along the length of the corridor (110). The movement is stepping, in sta...

The invention relates to an oil separator for de-oiling crankcase ventilation gases of an internal combustion engine wherein the oil separator (1) comprises at least one cyclone encompassing a gas inlet connected to the crankcase of the internal combustion engine, a gas outlet connected to the air suction passage of the internal combustion engine, and an oil outlet connected to the crankcase sump ...

A pneumatic tire 1 having a toroidal shape in which bead portions 4 are connected to sidewall portions 3 extending radially inward from opposite ends of a tread portion 2 and a sealant 6 for preventing a blowout is disposed to extend in a circumferential direction in the tread portion 2. A seal unit 7 formed by sealing the sealant 6 for preventing the blowout in a sack-shaped member in advance is ...

A sensor strip comprises an electrode substrate, an electrode set, on the electrode substrate, and microspheres. The sensor strip allows for a smaller sample volume and maintain a more uniform flow profile through the sample channel.

New, useful and surprisingly effective antiscorch compositions for utilization within polyurethane foam production methods which utilize very popular tertiary amine catalysts are provided. Such compositions require the presence of nominal yet effective amounts of organic cyclic ester materials. The ring systems of such materials appear to open during exposure to heat (during the curing process) an...

To provide a polyester hollow molded product which eliminates the possibility of contaminating its contents, retains excellent transparency after it is used repeatedly by recycling and can be re-used with a substantially unscratched surface. The polyester hollow molded product has a polyester coating layer on the exterior surface and the coating layer can be removed with hot water or alkaline aque...

Image simulation system and method simulate an image based on a number of base images and a current lighting vector. An actual object to be viewed using the vision system is placed within the overall field of view of the vision system. Depending on the desired analysis to be made, either the entire object, or a specific portion of the object, is illuminated using one of the various illumination so...

A proper functioning of an integrated circuit is monitored by monitoring a supply voltage of the integrated circuit. Dips in the supply voltage are ascertained. A signaling of the dips in the supply voltage is only effected if the supply voltage falls below a given voltage for a given minimum duration. As a result, the reliability of the integrated circuit is increased.

Diffusely scattering defects are to be detected in items made from transparent material, e.g. drinks bottles. To this end, the items (10) are inspected using a light source (12) and a camera (16), a contrast pattern (14) being arranged between the light source (12) and the item to be inspected. Diffusely scattering defects are detected by a decrease in the contrast of the contrast pattern (14) rep...

A method for detecting the position of a vehicle in a predetermined area includes: detecting the magnitude and the angle of incremental motion vectors relating to the movement of the vehicle by means of a first sensor device; automatically fixing the vehicle at predetermined points within the predetermined area whenever the vehicle passes a corresponding point; and detecting the current position o...

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition and a method for diagnosis and treatment of the growth and proliferation of tumor cells in mammals including human beings.

SOLUTION: A gene to be amplified is identified in the genome of the tumor cell. The gene amplification relates to the excess expression of a gene product compared to a normal cell having the same tissue form, and it is pred...
