Abstract: In a rotary drum, such as a rotary tube oven, drum drier or such like, sealing rings are provided for sealing between the rotary drum (1) and a fixed housing part (2), which sealing rings must not be subjected to excessive stresses resulting from axial movements of the rotary drum end to which the sealing rings are fitted. For this purpose, the fixed housing part (2) is designed such that it can move longitudinally and transversely by means of sliding elements (10, 11, 12) guided by slots and springs (13, 14). The longitudinal movement is transmitted by means of rails (19), fitted to the housing part, whose free ends each carry two rollers (20, 21), which are subject to the influence of a ring flange (22) on the rotary drum (1). <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0235515-B1 (EP)
IPC: B60T8/24
Filed: 1987-01-16
Granted: 1990-08-16
Abstract: To counteract the tendency of over-steering when a vehicle operates in a curved path, and one of the wheels-typically the wheel at the inner side of the curve exhibits a tendency to block and, then, braking pressure is reduced to one of the front wheels only, the braking pressure applied to the rear wheel or wheels is reduced. If braking pessure is reduced to both of the front wheels, braking pressure being applied to the rear wheels is controlled, independently, in accordance with anti-brake lock control considerations, which have priority over dropping of braking pressure to prevent over-steering.

Granted: 1991-07-10
Abstract: Method of manufacturing a building panel, in particular for ceilings and walls, which is composed of at least one cover slab and a central element and the cover slab of which is made of a hygroscopic material, the cover slab being dried and bonded, in the dried state, with the aid of a synthetic-resin adhesive to the central element, which is designed as a grating or as a solid slab, the cover slab being provided furthermore, before or after bonding to the central element, with a coating which reduces the surface pores. For use of the building element in a climate having a transient, mean, minimal relative atmospheric moisture of a%, the cover slab is dried, in the course of manufacture of the building element, down to a relative slab humidity of b% (based on the dry weight) which is smaller and corresponds to the point, assigned to the mean, minimal relative atmospheric moisture, of the relative slab moisture on the equilibrium curve of the relative slab moisture of the cover slab in the moisture exchange with the surrounding air. In this dry state, the cover slab is bonded rigidly to a central element which is free from moisture expansion or exhibits low moisture expansion. Subsequently, the coating is applied to all surfaces of the cover slab having the specified dry state which come into contact with the external air.

Granted: 1995-06-21
Abstract: Improved homogenous diagnostic assay methods and labels for detecting an analyte in a medium when the analyte is a member of a specific binding pair. The methods and labels provide procedures for reducing background and increasing sensitivity. The binding partner of the analyte is labeled with a substance, the stability of which detectably changes whenever said analyte is bound as a member of the specific binding pair. In a closely related system, the analyte is labeled with a substance susceptible to differential degradation depending on whether or not the analyte is bound as a member of its specific binding pair. After incubation and selective degradation or chemical or biochemical alteration, the amount of analyte bound is detected by measuring either the stability change or the extent of degradation of the label. In a particular system, chemiluminescent acridinium ester labeled probes are used in a homogenous hybridization assay format for sensitively detecting the presence of complement any target polynucleotide sequences.
