Granted: 1992-12-09
Abstract: The folding box is made from a single-piece blank, the blank being provided with impressed folding lines in the end and side walls which lines adjoin a central base area. In the production of complex packages, e.g. for chocolates or the like, a folding box is firstly produced without a projecting edge. A piece of cardboard, possibly provided with a padded insert, is bonded to said folding box. In this case, if the piece of cardboard is larger, a projecting edge results in relation to the base area of the folding box, which gives a visually attractive impression. However, the manufacturing costs are relatively high in respect of the large requirement of material and the large number of production steps required. In the new folding box, the bonding of a piece of cardboard, provided with a padded insert, is avoided due to the special type of folding. The new folding box can be manufactured automatically and requires only a small transport space when being transported from the manufacturer's to the user. <IMAGE>

Granted: 1992-01-02
Abstract: The known carriages have set-down rollers arranged securely at the front end of a frame. With the carriage lying on the stretcher bearing support, these set-down rollers project further into the inside of the ambulance than do the running rollers of the stretcher itself. The use of the known carriages therefore requires that constructional changes be made to the stretcher bearing supports. 
<??>In contrast, the carriage according to the invention can also be used in the conventional stretcher bearing supports, without changes having to be made to the supports. 
<??>According to the invention, the set-down rollers (68) are arranged longitudinally displaceably on the frame (10), and at the front end of the frame (10) they can be fixed in their position relative to the frame (10) by means of a locking arrangement. By releasing the locking arrangement when pushing the carriage into the ambulance, the set-down rollers (68) push back relative to the frame, i.e. in the direction of the front legs (24), until they are finally situated directly under the front running rollers (78) of the stretcher (72).

Abstract: An electrokinetic method for separating molecular species employs the surface of moving charged colloidal particles in a buffered dispersing medium, in a process which combines electrophoresis and a variant of chromatography in which the "stationary phase" surface moves. The colloidal particles have on their surface a material having the ability to interact selectively with the molecular species to be separated. The surface of the particles as originally formed may have such an ability, or the surface is modified to produce it. In one embodiment the colloidal particles are negatively charged and the surface-modifying materials are metal ions. In another embodiment the surface of the colloidal particles is modified by the incorporation of affinity groups. The analytes distribute themselves between the dispersing medium and the surface of the colloidal particles, resulting in analyte migration rates which are functions of the individual distribution equilibrium constants and the rate of colloidal particle migration. A capillary column for conducting the method includes surface-modified charged colloidal particles in a buffered dispersing medium.

Abstract: When data words subdivided into several part-words are transferred between two control units which operate at different speeds, the problem is that the two control units simultaneously access the same storage area of a buffer store and one control unit changes a data word whilst the other one is reading it out. This causes falsified data words to be read out. To solve this problem, the addresses which are accessed by the control units (STE) are masked by means of a masking code in masking circuits (MS1, MS2) and the results are compared with one another in a comparator (VGL). In the case of equality, the access of one control unit is blocked until the other one has completely entered or read out a data word. The main application is the adaptation of interfaces of automation units. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un support (24) maintient un ensemble linéaire (26) par exemple de scripteur de tête d'impression à DEL (diode électroluminescente), en relation fonctionnelle avec un élément rotatif (2) dont l'emplacement et l'orientation ne sont pas toujours déterminables avec précision. Le support est particulièrement utile lorsque l'élément rotatif est retiré de manière routinière de l'appareil, par exemple, si l'élément rotatif est un rouleau autour duquel est entraînée une bande (1) devant être remplacée périodiquement et sur laquelle l'ensemble de tête d'impression agit. Le support vient au contact de l'élément rotatif limitant le mouvement dudit ensemble de tête d'impression autour des axes x et y sensiblement orthogonaux à l'axe primaire de l'élément rotatif par rapport à ce dernier, mais permet un tel mouvement dudit ensemble de tête d'impression avec l'élément rotatif. Ledit ensemble de tête d'impression est supporté par un mécanisme permettant le mouvement dudit ensemble de tête d'impression autour de ces axes x et y, mais empêchant le mouvement dudit ensemble autour de l'axe primaire de l'élément rotatif. Le mécanisme de support comprend un ensemble d'éléments de flexion (43, 44, 46, 53, 54, 55, 56) lesquels, combinés, à la fois pressent de manière souple le moyen de mise en contact contre l'élément rotatif, et permettent la rotation autour des axes x et y ainsi que le mouvement parallèle à tous les axes, tout en empêchant la rotation autour de l'axe primaire. Ledit ensemble (26) de scripteur de tête d'impression comporte un logement (16) de support analogue à une boîte rigide, supportant et protégeant indépendamment une tête d'impression (14) à DEL ainsi qu'un réseau (15) de lentilles linéaire. Le logement comporte une paroi frontale (103) à laquelle sont fixés des moyens (27, 28) à surface de localisation, et conçus pour engager des surfaces (36, 37) porteuses de localisation sur une imprimante ou un appareil similaire.

Title: Process for the production of chlorosilicates, and their use
IPC: C04B7/36
Filed: 1990-03-02
Granted: 1993-07-21
Abstract: Halide-containing residues from waste gas purification are, if they have a content of water-soluble constituents, virtually unutilisable and can be put into landfill only with restrictions. As a result of the novel process, the constituents which can be eluted with water are incorporated into a mineral matrix in such a way that a markedly reduced susceptibility to elution is obtained. It also becomes possible to convert the residues into a product which can be used as a hydraulic binder. The halide-containing residues are, as constituents of a raw meal for the manufacture of chlorosilicates, subjected to a thermal treatment.
