Abstract: A method and device for producing melt-spun continuous threads, whereby a thread is initially prepared according to a method known per se and subsequently compacted in order to obtain a closed threadline. A large amount of compressed air is consumed during compacting and part of the preparation agent is expelled from the thread by the compressed air and atomized. The novel method provides for a closed threadline and dispenses with the disadvantages mentioned in association therewith. Two preparations are used at a distance from each other in order to provide good thread properties during the production process. A partial amount of the preparation agent is deposited thereon. A first preparation occurs upstream from a first unwinding element. A second preparation occurs downstream from said first unwinding element, resulting in greater cohesion of the filaments in said threads. The invention is used in the production of synthetic fibers.

Abstract: A probe (10) transmits an ultrasonic pulse of a wide band, and detects its echo to generate a reception signal. The reception signals are respectively filtered by three filter parts (14a-14c) of different passing bands. Outputs of the respective filter parts (14a-14c) are signal components of a narrow band, and speckle components (interference components by a fine structure) appear conspicuously. Outputs of the respective filter parts (14a-14c) are detected, and the detection outputs are set respectively as each color signal of R, G and B, and are composed by an image composition part (20), whereby a speckle part is displayed by coloring in R, G or B. As a tissue boundary part is high in a signal level in any band, it is displayed in a whitish color by composition. Application to weather radar is also described. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a ribbon for a ribbon saw, a ribbon saw with an inventive ribbon and individual elements (1) of an inventive ribbon for a saw. One major disadvantage of previous ribbon saws is that a defect in a ribbon, e.g. a broken tooth, means that the entire ribbon has to be changed. The aim of the invention is to create a ribbon saw with a ribbon which has a higher average service life at a comparatively low cost, enabling the advantages of ribbon sawing to be felt. This is achieved by means of a ribbon of the above-mentioned variety, wherein the ribbon is comprised of individual interconnected elements (1) arranged in the direction of movement. The invention also relates to individual members of the inventive ribbon and a ribbon saw provided with one such inventive ribbon. The major advantage of the inventive ribbon is that it can be dismantled into individual elements (1) .
