Abstract: The production of polyisobutene by liquid-phase, cationic polymerization of isobutene in the presence of a boron trifluoride catalyst followed by the addition of a solid deactivator at a required point in time uses a deactivator (I) containing boron trifluoride-binding prim., sec., tert. and/or quat. nitrogen atoms, which is insoluble in the reaction mixture. In the production of polyisobutenes (PIB) by liquid-phase, cationic polymerization of isobutene or hydrocarbon streams containing isobutene in the presence of boron trifluoride as catalyst, the catalytic activity of the BF3 is partly or completely eliminated at a required point in time by means of a solid deactivator which contains BF3-binding prim., sec., tert. and/or quat. nitrogen atoms and is insoluble in the reaction mixture.

Abstract: A reinforcement liner and methods of manufacturing the liner are disclosed. The liner includes a fabric material having first and second support layers. Each of the layers includes reinforcing fibers. The first and second support layers are oriented in different directions to provide support to the liner in those directions. The liner includes a stitching material that is used to couple the first and second support layers together. The stitching material is preferably an elastic yarn. One of the support layers includes long, chopped strands that are oriented parallel to each other. The long, chopped strands are directed so that they are in the peripheral direction of the finished reinforcement liner. The long, chopped fibers can be distributed continuously or only along portions of the width of the fabric. The disclosed methods of manufacturing a liner include alternative processes by which the liner can be made. The fabric is manufactured in the form of a continuous roll. One method involves winding the roll in a helical pattern about a fixed mandrel. Another method involves mounting several rolls circumferentially about a mandrel. The rolls are mounted so that strips of fabric from each roll overlap a portion of adjacent fabric strips to provide a continuous liner surface on the mandrel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus extract a signal component of a measured signal using one of two methods. If the signal component in the measured signal is a periodic signal with a certain well-defined peak-to-peak intensity value, upper and lower envelopes of the measured signal are determined and analyzed to extract said signal component of the measured signal. This signal component can further be used to calculate a desired parameter of the sample. The DC component of the signal is determined as the median value of the upper envelope, and the AC component is determined as the median value of the difference between the upper and lower envelopes. If the signal component of the measured signal is a periodic signal characterized by a specific asymmetric shape, a specific adaptive filtering is applied to the measured signal, resulting in the enhancement of the signal component relative to a noise component. This adaptive filtering is based on a derivative of the Gaussian Kernel having specific parameters matching the characteristics of the signal component.

Abstract: There is provided a new and improved apparatus and method for rolling workpieces such as crankshafts. The apparatus has first and second rolling heads mounted at spaced positions along a common rolling arm to receive a crankshaft bearing therebetween which can then be shifted relative to one another along the common rolling arm to close the heads or rolling tools for clamping onto the workpiece. The in-line clamping action and force provided by the tools on the rolling arm are created by actuation of a tall, thin cylinder assembly including a number of aligned individual cylinders sized to keep the width of the cylinder assembly to a minimum so that all of the rolling arms can likewise be of a thin construction pivotally mounted on one side of the crankshaft and axially spaced according to the crankshaft bearing spacing for rolling all of the bearings in a single rolling operation. A strain sensor can be utilized to generate clamping force readouts that are based on the amount of structural deflection of the arm detected by the sensor.

A cover fits over the front end of the body and is so tight that the front compartment can be pressurized to a superatmospheric pressure without leakage out the front end. A free piston slidable in the body forward of the plunger subdivides the body forward of the plunger into a front compartment at the front body end holding the soluble component and a rear compartment between the plunger and the piston and holding the solvent. Stops are provided for arresting the free piston when it is level with the bypass in a position permitting flow through the bypass between the compartments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for separation and application of thin objects of a non-porous material or of a material of low porosity on a surface. The invention also relates to a package for the thin objects. With the aid of a pick up and lay down head on an application means a vacuum is applied on a part, preferably the middle, of the uppermost object in a stack of thin objects being in a recess of a package. The recess of the package for receiving the objects is at least areawise somewhat smaller than the exterior dimensions of the objects. With the aid of vacuum in the pick up and lay down head the uppermost object is lifted out of the package. The underlying objects in the stack remain in the package by the friction and scrape effects towards the interior walls of the package. Then the pick up and lay down head of the application means is lowered down so that the object is brought into contact with the surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The fronds are chopped and divided by air classification into stem and leaf blade chips, the latter predominantly separated as fines. The stem chips are then disintegrated, fraying them out. They are dried in a mixer with a suitable binder; and/or are coated with an adhesive in the blowing line. They are carried to a scattering station, where a mat of pressed material is produced by spreading them out. A hot press operating continuously or in cycles, applies heat and pressure to make a fibrous strip or fibrous panel, which is hardened. Preferred features: A similar variant of the process is described, based on the foregoing principles. A drum- or disc chopping unit is employed. The air classifier is a zig-zag cascade classifier, or a transverse flow classifier. Scattering is carried out with a free fall of 200 mm or more. The chopped material is dried and held in a storage vessel or intermediate heap storage.

Abstract: Process for manufacturing cheeses and other dairy products, and the resulting products, in which lactobionic acid is added, or generated in situ, in combination with a dairy component in the course of the process. The lactobionic acid can be used as the sole acidulent for direct acidification of the cheese, or in conjunction with reduced amounts of lactic acid culture. When the lactobionic acid is generated in situ during cheese manufacture according to the invention, a lactose oxidase is used in one embodiment to convert lactose intrinsically present in the dairy liquid ingredient(s) into lactobionic acid. The organoleptic attributes of the cheeses made using lactobionic acid as an ingredient are satisfactory and fully suitable. The process can be applied to the production of a wide variety of cheeses, including, for example, cream cheeses, hard cheeses such as cheddar, UF cheeses, process cheeses, cheddar cheeses, and so forth.
