Abstract: A process for treating a lamella-type mineral in the form of particles constituted of stacks of sheets, in order to obtain a functional filler for a polymer material. The mineral is suspended in a liquid with a predetermined initial particle size, after which the suspension is subjected to a delamination procedure in order to separate the sheet from the particles, and obtain a particle size smaller than the initial particle size. The suspension is then subjected to selection in order to eliminate the particles larger in size than the predetermined size; it is subsequently dried, and the mineral particles are treated so as to restrict the creation amongst them of strong irreversible bonds. The talcum powder obtained can be incorporated into a thermoplastic material as a functional filler in order to increase the flexural modulus in proportions significantly higher than what is obtained with known fillers, without diminishing the shock resistance of the final material (with respect to the values obtained with said known fillers).

Abstract: The serpentine belt drive system comprises a drive assembly including an internal combustion engine having an output shaft with a driving pulley on it rotatable about a drive pulley axis. A sequence of driven assemblies each has a driven pulley rottable about an axis parallel with the driving pulley axis and a serpentine belt mounted in co-operating relationship with the driving pulley and with the driven pulleys in a sequence which corresponds with the sequence of the driven assemblies when related to the direction of movement of the belt to cause the driven pulleys to rotate in response to the rotation of the driving pulley. The sequence of driven assemblies includes an alternator assembly including an alternator shaft mounted for rotation about a shaft axis. A hub structure is fixedly carried by the alternator shaft for rotation with it about the shaft axis. A spring and one-way clutch mechanism couples the alternator pulley with the hub structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ancillary device to connect computer peripherals to a personal computer. The ancillary device is connected to the parallel interface of the computer and is substantially configured as a dual plug connection so that the ancillary device can be connected on one side to the parallel computer interface and to the printer port on the other side. A control unit is located inside the ancillary device enabling multiple use of said interface. The control unit is provided with a connector cable for other peripheral devices. The cable outlet is located inside the longitudinal extension of the housing. Power is supplied to the control unit via other peripheral devices whose power requirements are unaffected by the control unit, which consumes only small amounts of energy.

Abstract: In an oscillator in an integrated circuit (IC) the oscillator signal is taken from the output of a comparator (COMP). The decision level of the comparator (CMP) is determined by the voltage difference between the input of the comparator (CMP) and the substrate (SBSTR) of the integrated circuit (IC). The spurious voltage on the substrate (SBSTR), which is caused by digital circuitry (DL), is compensated by means of an equal spurious voltage on the input of the comparator (CMP). To this end an integrated capacitor (C1) is connected between the input of the comparator (CMP) and the substrate (SBSTR). The integrated capacitor (C1) takes the place of the usual external capacitor (C1EXT).

Abstract: In a round baler for agricultural crops including a supply station for feeding-out a strip-like covering material for the fully wound round bale and a cutting device for severing the covering material, simple provision is desirable for pulling the new leading-edge of the strip of covering material away from the knife-edge after the cutting process. Drive shafts of the advancing roller and a detainable ratchet wheel are mutually coupled in rotatable manner by a resilient hub-shaft connection. The hub-shaft connection is constructed such that, when the ratchet wheel is detained, the advancing roller can still rotate through a small angle and thereby deform resilient drive elements in order to produce an extremely high tension in the strip. The restoring forces so created turn the advancing roller in a direction opposite to the direction of movement of the strip as soon as the strip is severed. The leading-edge of the strip is thereby pulled away from the knife-edge.

Abstract: The method involves determining characteristic values for the process using optical methods. Spectroscopic measurements are carried out on the wood, the chips, the preformed fibre mats, the pressed fibre plates, the processing water and the waste water for determining the characteristic spectra. Preferably, morphological and chemical characteristics are determined from the spectroscopic measurements. When different types of wood are used, which are processed in a refiner, the type and mixture of the wood, the fineness of the refine material and the intensity of the digestion are derived from the spectroscopic measurements. The spectroscopic measurements are carried out in the range between 0.2 and 40 mu m, preferably in the range of 200 mu m to 1200 nm (ultraviolet, visible or near infrared).

Abstract: A system and method provides a way to display images of recently viewed television channels for the user's convenience. Multiple recently accessed television channels are stored in a list. Selecting channels in predefined ways causes the channels to be added to the list in an order in which they were accessed. Small screen images corresponding to a number of recently viewed television channels are displayed in a "recent channel" display screen. The small screen image for the channel being currently viewed is active and displays a live broadcast image, while the remaining small screen images display still images. A focus identifies the screen image of the currently active channel. The focus can be moved among the other small screen images within the recent channel display screen, wherein the channel corresponding to the currently focused image becoming the active channel.
