Inventor: HULMANN LOUIS
IPC: B65H18/04
Filed: 1993-01-23
Abstract: A web of material, for example the packaging of a paper roll, can be wound by introducing its leading edge into an axial slit of a winding core (5) which is mounted in a stationary anchor (8) so as to be rotatable about a winding shaft (10) and by subsequent rotation thereof to form a reel of material. In order to facilitate the removal of the reel of material, the winding core (5) has a plurality of conveyor rollers (19) which are partly mounted in U-profiles (13a) and form groups lying in a line. Conveyor belts (22a,b) run via two of these groups. The conveyor rollers (19) and conveyor belts (22a,b) form the predominant part of the support surface of the reel of material on the winding core (5). The conveyor rollers, lying nearest to the anchor (8), of the last-mentioned groups can be driven via a conveyor shaft (23), a conical gearing (24) and gearwheels (26, 27, 29) and can set the conveyor belts (22a,b) in motion in such a manner that the reel of material connected to them in a frictionally locking manner is conveyed away towards the winding shaft (10), whereas the non-driven conveyor rollers on which said reel also lies co-rotate. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A two-step process for the post-chlorination of PVC homopolymer and other predominantly vinyl chloride-containing polymers is disclosed, which process produces chlorinated PVC ("CPVC") containing at least 70% by weight Cl, in a fast, but controllable, aqueous, two-step process catalyzed using an organic peroxide catalyst instead of actinic radiation. Less than 10% excess Cl remains after the second stage, even when 75 wt% Cl CPVC is made. In the first step, an aqueous slurry of PVC is chlorinated in the absence of liquid chlorine and free oxygen, preferably at a starting temperature in the range from about 30°C to 75°C, in the presence of at least an essentially stoichiometric amount of chlorine required to make the desired Cl content in the end product, and, a catalytic amount of the peroxy catalyst, at least sufficient to produce 'first step CPVC' having an intermediate Cl level of chemically bound Cl in the range from 67% to 72% by weight. The temperature is maintained below the T g  of the first step CPVC formed. In a second step, the first step CPVC formed is further chlorinated in the presence of less than a 10 wt% excess of chlorine, at a temperature in the range from 90° to 130°C until the Cl content in the CPVC is in the range from 69% to 75% by weight. At least a 3% increase in Cl content of the first step CPVC is obtained within about 30 min irrespective of the volume of the slurry. Preferably, a substantial excess of chlorine is not used, and no remaining chlorine needs to be recovered. CPVC with a 75% Cl content is made in about 3 hr. The CPVC end product so obtained is unexpectedly more easily thermoformed than another CPVC end product having the same Cl content, but made by a prior art aqueous process.

Abstract: Water reservoir (15) for waterers for animals serve to reduce the water pressure of a water supply line feeding the waterer run to a defined lower waterer pressure. For flushing the animal waterer, on the other hand, water with a higher flushing pressure is necessary. To this end, the water supply line must be connected directly to the waterer run via a bypass bridging the water reservoir (15). To avoid the bypass line, the water reservoir (15) is designed according to the invention in such a manner that its regulating arrangement (27) can be locked in a position which does not reduce the water pressure. In this manner, for flushing the waterer run, water can flow from the water supply line through the water reservoir (15) with unreduced pressure, as a result of which a bypass line can be omitted. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for reducing translation look-aside buffer (TLB) (208) purge overhead does so by purging the TLB only when required to avoid invalid entries. The translation look-aside buffer (TLB) contains virtual to real mappings for a particular address space. Operating systems commonly purge the TLB whenever a new task is dispatched to ensure the TLB entries are valid. A system with relatively short tasks will incur significant overhead by this practice. The present invention detects those situations where a purge is required by associated TLB purge with the address space allocation logic. Invalid TLB entries will exist only where an address space is re-used by a different task. The address space allocation logic is modified to place a marker indicating a TLB purge in the queue of free address space blocks. Whenever the marker rises to the head of the queue a TLB purge is issued. Task dispatches at all other times do not require TLB purging.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé pour fabriquer un concentré d'arôme de bière en faisant germer de l'orge (par exemple en présence de l'agent activateur d'enzyme qu'est l'acide gibbérellique), afin de produire un malt vert ayant une teneur approximative en humidité de 43 %, qui est chauffé dans un récipient fermé à une température de 85 à 95 °C pendant 2 à 6 heures (c'est-à-dire en élevant la température du lit interne à un niveau compris entre 70 et 89 °C pendant une période comprise entre une demi-heure et trois heures) pour réduire l'activité de l'enzyme amylolytique. En procédant à une opération de séchage au four dans un récipient ouvert (par exemple à une température de 50 à 65 °C pendant 12 à 18 heures), on produit un malt vert pauvre en enzyme amylolytique ayant une teneur en humidité de 3,5 à 5,5 % en poids. Ce malt ainsi séché, lorsqu'il est utilisé pour produire une maische (c'est-à-dire après concassage et addition de l'eau de fabrication), permet de préparer un moût qui, après cuisson et après ensemencement en levain avec des levures de bière, peut être fermenté par les procédés classiques. Le moût ainsi fermenté peut être dilué avec de l'eau pour produire une boisson à base de moût contenant moins de 0,5 % en volume d'alcool et moins de 40 calories par 12 onces, ou, dans une variante, il peut être concentré par évaporation sous vide, par concentration à froid, par séchage par pulvérisation et/ou par lyophilisation, afin d'obtenir un produit à l'arôme de bière concentré dense.

Abstract: Input image data representing the image of an object imaged by a video camera is given to a circuit (13) for generating a dithered image via an A/D converting circuit (11). In the circuit (13), the image data is binarized by an error diffusion method, and thereby dithered image data such that each pixel is represented by one bit is obtained. In a window displaying the dithered image, small regions each of which comprises pixels are set. In an image restoration circuit (14), the dithered image data are added for every small region, and thereby, restored is the image data having an intermediate gradation wherein each small region represents one pixel. In a computing circuit (15), for every window of each position of the picture, computed is the difference or the correlation value between the restored image data and the text data which is set beforehand in relation to a reference image. By a peak holding circuit (16), sensed are the minimum difference or the maximum correlation value, and the position of the window in which the minimum difference or the maximum correlation value occurs.
