Abstract: Three-component three-dimensional seismic data is acquired by locating a plurality of receivers 14 off the seismic shot line 16 of a seismic source 12. The angle φ between the seismic shot line 16 and a line 20 extending between the seismic source 12 and each receiver 19 is used to normalize the signals generated by the two shear wave detectors 30, 32 in each receiver by mathematically rotating the orientation of the receiver 18 and the orientation of the seismic source 12 to produce horizontal shear wave signals 26, 32 and vertical shear wave signals 22, 30 generally equivalent to those that would have been produced if each receiver 18 and seismic source 12 were aligned along a seismic shot line 20.

Abstract: It is proposed to integrate the operation of the switch for the automatic stop-start device (3) of petrol or gas engines in motor vehicles with an operating lever so that the effort of operation by the driver can be considerably reduced. The operating effort is reduced by up to 50% thanks to a reduction in the movement sequence. In urban traffic or in traffic jams application of this system brings a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and hence harmful emissions. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyglycerols (with more than 50% by weight of diglycerol) which are low in cyclic components, by reacting glycerol with chlorohydrins. In this reaction, glycerol is reacted with epichlorohydrin (instead of chlorohydrin) at temperatures from 20 DEG  to 120 DEG  C. and at certain mole ratios of glycerol to epichlorohydrin and in the presence of an acidic catalyst and the reaction mixture obtained, which has not been separated into its components, is reacted at a temperature from 50 DEG  C. to 120 DEG  C. according to the content of organically bound chlorine in the reaction mixture, with an alkaline-reacting, preferably aqueous solution. After the addition of water, the reaction mixture is desalinated via one or more cation and subsequent anion exchangers, dehydrated by distillation and the glycerol-polyglycerol mixture obtained is separated by fractional distillation into glycerol, diglycerol and higher polyglycerols.

Abstract: A tape posture control pole (56) controls widthwise inclination of a tape (T). When the tape cassette (C) containing the tape (T) has been loaded at a predeter­mined loading position, a tape posture control pole-­moving mechanism advances the tape posture control pole (56) into an indentation formed in the tape cassette (C). When the tape (T) has been pulled out of the tape cassette (C) through the indentation (54), the tape posture control pole-moving mechanism moves the tape posture control pole (56) close to a guide pin (P1) formed within the tape cassette (T) substantially in parallel to the guide pin (P1). Simultaneously, the tape posture control pole-moving mechanism brings the tape posture control pole (56) into contact with the inner side of the tape (T) which is pulled out of the tape cassette (T) through the tape-takeout section (54). In this fashion, the tape posture control pole-moving mechanism causes the tape posture control pole to con­trol the widthwise inclination of the tape (T).

Abstract: Rigidifying or structural members are used to increase 
structural stiffness of cylinder block and consequently have re­
duced vibrations and noise emitted therefrom. These devices in 
the past have reduced serviceability, increased engine compo­
nent complexity, increased cost and allowed additional inter­
faces for lubricant to leak therefrom. The subject structural 
member or rigidifying member (70) provides a simple, inexpen­
sive, light-weight solution to increasing structural stiffness of 
cylinder block (12). The subject structural member (70) has an 
uninterrupted flange (76) therearound and a plurality of equally 
spaced longitudinally positioned openings (78) therethrough. 
The flange (76) is secured in frictional contact with the inner 
mounting surface (48) inside the oil pan (60). Thus, the interface 
for lubrication leakage of past members has been eliminated. 
The openings (78) have reduced the weight of the member and 
provide an opening through which the crankshaft can swing 
preventing the need to increase the engine height. The structural 
member (70) is free of connection with the main bearing caps 
(14) which reduces component complexibility, cost and simpli­
fies serviceability.
