Abstract: An arrangement on packing containers of flexible packing material, this arrangement making possible a tight closing and simple opening of the top part of the packing container. In, for example, a gable-top package (1) the arrangement comprises a sealing film (8) projecting outside the top edge of the packing container material, which after conventional shaping of the top part of the packing container is sealed in a sealing zone (9) and is provided with a projecting tearing strip (11).

Abstract: In the device for selecting processor modules by a central unit and for supplying information items from other modules, addressing lines are conducted not as continuous lines in parallel to all modules but starting from a central unit in a chain behind one another and serially from module to module. The address information supplied to a module via the address lines is changed in an address information change circuit of the respective module and forwarded to the next module. In this manner, each module has a different address information and only the module which receives an identical address information uniformly specified for all modules is selected. The addressing device is advantageous in particular in conjunction with process computer systems using plug-in-type modules, no special bus modules being required.

Abstract: The method of this invention for manufacturing capsules causes the solution of thermo-getting material to gelatinize once, and then drys the gel. Therefore the process of manufacturing capsules is less affected by drying conditions, thus providing capsules of uniform wall thickness without wrinkle. In the apparatus of this invention, circulating capsule pins are dipped in the solution of thermo-gelling material, thus the solution adheres to the pins. And the pins are rotated upside down, thus thickness of the solution adhering to the pins becoming uniform. Then the pins are retained in the vessel maintained at a higher temperature than the gelling temperature of the solution, and the solution adhering to the pins is accelerated to gelatinize. Thus formed gel is dried through a drying device, and the dried gel, i.e. capsules, is removed from capsule pins.

Abstract: A single phase induction motor has a main winding (WR) and a starting winding (WS) and is provided with a braking circuit comprising a rectifier (CR103) arranged to charge a capacitor (C105) through a current limiting resistor (R104). 
     A centrifugal switch (FS106) connects the starter winding (WS) into the circuit at starting but cuts it out when the speed increases and allows the capacitor (C105) to become charged. 
     The main switch (SW102) controlling the motor is a double throw switch and when it is open to stop the motor it allows the capacitor (C105) to discharge through the main winding (WR) and produce any current braking. As the speed drops the centrifugal switch (FS106) also switches back and allows the capacitor discharge current also to flow through the starter winding (WS) increasing the braking effect. 
     The application of the invention to a split phase motor is also described.
