A continuous marine pipe laying system utilizes two rollers to overbend and straighten pipe as it is unwound from a reel. A support arm is pivotally connected to the axis of rotation of said reel and first and second roller arms are pivotally connected to the support arm at a point spaced from said axis of rotation. During use, the first roller is positioned at a point adjacent the pipe substantia...

A device for the rapid detection of hydrocarbon fire inside an armored vehicle. Infrared radiation resulting from the appearance of the fire is detected using lithium tantalate as a pyroelectric sensor for producing a voltage signal. A voltage pulse is produced at the beginning of the infrared radiation. Alternatively, the current signal of the pyroelectric sensor may be used and subsequently inte...

Apparatus for the aligning of boiled prawns withdrawn from an unordered stock comprises an oscillatory stock container (1) and a conveyor chute (11) conveying by means of micro-throw effect. For the purpose of producing a continuous stream of prawns which do not obstruct each other, there is arranged between an outlet opening (3) of the container (1) and an aligning zone of the conveyor chute (11)...

Apparatus for temporarily disabling a translation lookaside buffer or TLB (60) in a computer system upon the occurrence of certain predefined system conditions. Such conditions may be of a first type which have been predetermined to indicate a greater risk that two or more virtual addresses stored in the TLB (60) will simultaneously match the incoming virtual address, and/or of a second type in wh...

The shell is removed from a crustacean by creating a pressure difference across the shell. Initially the crustacean is heated until body liquid adjacent the shell is just below boiling point. The pressure on the crustacean is then suddenly lowered to induce the liquid to boil and thereby create the pressure difference across the shell. After pressure treatment, the crustaceans are projected into a...

A method of producing a porous polymeric material having open pores comprises the steps of preparing an emulsion slurry by vigorously agitating a mixture comprising a main ingredient, a polyamide hardener, a filler and water, casting said emulsion slurry in a water-impermeable mold, hardening said slurry while it contains the water. The main ingredient is a bisphenol-type epoxy resin added with on...

Microcapsules with liquid fills containing Lewis acid catalysts, catalyst concentrates comprising slurries of the microcapsules in liquid media, and a method for preparing the microcapsules and concentrates. The catalyst concentrates of the present invention are storage stable both alone and when incorporated in a one-part epoxy formulation.

Cast film on the basis of low-density polyethylene is prepared by extruding the molten polymer at temperatures of the melt at the die gap of below 200 DEG C. Films that have been prepared this way have special mono-axial orientation as a result of which the mechanical properties are improved.

This sorbent is formed by a block copolymer based on polyethylene oxide and poly-6-caprolactam in porous powdered form, having a content of 1 to 40 % by weight of polyethylene oxide units, a specific surface of 0.1 to 80 m<2>/g, a mean pore radius preferably of 1 to 600 nm, a pore volume of 0.1 to 2.5 ml/g and a porosity of 1 to 60 %. The principle of the method of producing this sorbent is t...

In a run length limited block coding method in which blocks of m data bits are converted to blocks of n1 information and n2 separation bits (n = n1 + n2>m). The blocks of bits satisfying the requirement of being (d, k) run length limited, the blocks of separation bits BSi between each of the blocks of n-information bits Bli are chosen, in those cases where the format is not prescribed by the (d, k...

The rotor R can be rotatably mounted in a support and at least one permanent magnet (21 or 22), which is a temporary or permanent magnet, is arranged adjacent the rotor R rotatably mounted in the support. A rotating means (8), for example an electric motor, in use, rotates the rotor R. The torque applied to the rotor R is monitored to detect any electrical fault in the winding of the rotor R which...

PURPOSE:To narrow the range of use of a vector register, to make efficient vector calculation possible, to reduce the number of instructions to shunt/restore the vector register, and to improve capability of execution relating to the result of compiling by moving an vector load instruction in the intermediate code in automatic vector forming compiling process. CONSTITUTION:A load instruction detec...

A fluid dental composition which comprises a liquid ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable material and a polymerization catalyst therefor and a selected mixture of fine particle size and large particle size fillers and dispersing agent particularly for the former filler, the compositions having physical properties desirable as an amalgam potential replacement.

There is disclosed a dental restorative composition containing a hydrophobic polymerizable composition, a polymerization initiator, and a quartz or heat treated barium or strontium glass hydrophobic filler having an average particle size below 15 microns, with said filler being present in an amount within the range of from about 35 to about 78 volume per cent.

Device for removing scale and for preventing the formation of scale in pipe systems through which a liquid, for example water, flows, the liquid being exposed to a field generated by a coil. In a housing which consists of two plate-shaped discs having an inlet and an outlet orifice in their centres, a preferably circular-symmetric inner chamber is formed in which a baffle plate held by spacers con...
