Abstract: The present invention relates to a shaped demolition charge that can be switched between a beam-like cutting jet and a line-like cutting jet. Today no charge is known which can be switched in the above-described way. Instead one demolition charge is used for each function. In order to avoid the problem of storing, transporting, and handling two different kinds of charges the invention shows a charge combining beam- and line-like cutting jet in the same charge. The desired function is easily chosen through a switch, e.g. by moving a slide or a knob. The shaped demolition charge (1) comprises a main charge (2), an ignition charge (3), a transfer charge (5, 6) connecting the ignition charge (3) with the main charge (2) in two peripheral points (25, 26) on the main charge (2), and a switch (7, 8), comprising a centre charge (9) which oculd connect the ignition charge (3) to teh centre of the main charge (2) or not.

Abstract: A communications cable comprises an elongate cable jacket having an internal cavity and a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors disposed in the internal cavity of the cable jacket, each of the conductors being insulated with a polymeric layer. Each of the insulated conductors within each of the twisted pairs of conductors defines a twinning helix having a first rotative direction, and each of the twisted pairs defines a bunching helix having a second rotative direction, the second rotative direction being opposite that of the first rotative direction. In this configuration, the communications cable can provide acceptable crosstalk and attenuation performance, even with foamed insulators that have demonstrated unacceptable performance when twinned and bunched in the same rotative direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An object is to increase the mechanical efficiency of an injection molding machine, decrease the inertia, and decrease the axial length. The injection molding machine comprises a cylinder member; an injection member disposed within the cylinder member such that the injection member can advance and retract; an injection motor (82); and a transmission shaft which is connected to the injection member such that the transmission shaft can rotate relative to the injection member. The transmission shaft has a rotation transmission portion, to which rotation of the injection motor (82) is transmitted, as well as a motion conversion portion for converting rotational motion to linear motion. The injection motor (82) and the transmission shaft are disposed on the same axis, and the transmission shaft is advanced and retracted inside the rotor (92) of the injection motor (82). In this case, since rotation of the injection motor (82) is transmitted directly to the transmission shaft without intervention of a speed reduction mechanism, a pulley, and the like, mechanical efficiency can be improved, and inertia can be decreased. Further, the time required for changeover from the injection stage to the pressure holding stage is shortened. Since the transmission shaft is advanced and retracted inside the rotor (92) of the injection motor (82), the injection molding machine can be reduced in axial length. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Phytosterols, squalene and Vitamin E are recovered from phytonutrients concentrate derived from crude palm oil by the disclosed invention via esterification, transesterification, vacuum distillation, saponification, crystallization and organic solvents partitioning. Crude palm oil is subjected to esterification and transesterification for the production of crude palm oil methyl esters. Phytonutrients concentrate containing phytosterols, squalene, Vitamin E and unreacted monoglycerides is recovered from crude palm oil methyl esters by multi-stages vacuum distillation in which components with higher molecular weight are filtered during second stage vacuum distillation. The purified phytonutrients concentrate is subjected to saponification process and the unsaponifiable matter is added to a combination of solvents for crystallization of phytosterols. The filtrate enriched in squalene and Vitamin E is separated to its individual squalene-rich layer and vitamin E-rich layer via organic solvents partitioning. <IMAGE>
