Abstract: An automatic paper-and-folding machine, which is compact in size and can be conveniently adjusted to accept paper sheets of varying sizes, such as A4 or letter sized papers, and fold them into paper plies before they can be placed into envelops for mailing. The sheet of paper to be folded is first fed from the paper-feeding unit into a first paper-guiding plate (21) in the paper-folding unit to make a first fold through the cooperative action of a first set of rollers (25,26). Then, the once-folded paper sheet is moved into a second paper-guiding plate (28) to make a second fold through the cooperative action of a second set of rollers (26,27). Thereafter the twice-folded paper sheet is guided out of the paper-folding machine with the aid of a paper-guiding roller (30) and an accurate paper-guiding plate (39), and finally the folded sheet is collected in a receiving rack mounted in front of the paper-folding unit.

Abstract: The invention proposes a means for forming an expansion joint in a floor covered with ceramic tiles, composed of a plastic angle profile (4), to be fastened on the floor side and formed from fastening and terminating legs (41, 43), and a second plastic profile (42) which is designed as a strip having clamping elements (6) on its outer side. The two profiles are connected by means of an upper soft-plastic bridge (7) which covers over the corresponding profile portions (3, 43) from the top. In the lower region there is a bridge (8) which is provided as a predetermined-breaking bridge or a support bridge which is connected only on one side. The means is used for forming an expansion joint in the connection region of the passage from a wall to a floor covered with ceramic tiles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating a crude gas containing H2S and nitrogen components, for example a crude gas resulting from a partial oxidation of a carbon-containing starting material in a gas and steam power station. The crude gas is desulphurized by an acid gas scrubber with an upstream gas cooling and water scrubbing, the sulphur contained in the sulphur compounds being recovered as elemental sulphur. In the process according to the invention, the desulphurization of the acidic water and the work-up of the H2S fraction from the acid gas scrubber are combined, by burning acid water stripper gas and passing the exhaust gas of this combustion having a high oxygen content together with the H2S fraction into a reactor, in which H2S is catalytically converted by direct oxidation and/or Claus reaction into elemental sulphur. Additional advantages result, if the exhaust gas obtained from the sulphur recovery is subjected to a secondary purification, sulphur compounds recovered in the secondary purification are returned to the process upstream of the reactor of sulphur recovery and thus can likewise be converted into elemental sulphur. The secondary purification can comprise, for example, a hydrogenation, possibly with downstream selective H2S scrubbing, or gas combustion with flue gas secondary treatment, for example SO2 scrubbing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a film case made from two film layers (10) of substantially rectangular outline, resting flatly against each other. The film case is closed at three lateral edges (12, 14, 28) by fold, weld or adhesion lines or seams and is open at one lateral edge (30) to form an insertion aperture for documents. Furthermore, an edge strip (14) of defined width (b) is arranged at a lateral edge (18) perpendicular to the open lateral edge (30). In order to facilitate the introduction of documents into the film case, the inner weld seam (16) of the edge strip (14) follows a course, in the vicinity of its insertion end (22), which widens the interior of the case towards the insertion aperture in a funnel-like manner, and is at an acute oblique angle relative to the outer edge (18). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In effecting an end-to-end fusion splice between two optical fibres F, the optical fibres are introduced into opposite ends of two support members 1 so that parts of the optical fibres protrude from the members. The fibres F are secured in the members 1 and the protruding parts are cut to form tails of predetermined lengths. The support members 1 are then arranged in axial alignment and one is caused to move axially towards the other until the end faces of the protruding tails are spaced a predetermined distance apart. Fusion splicing is then effected, the support members 1 are permanently secured together and mechanical protection for the fusion splice is provided.

An electrically conductive member (36) disposed in a first region of the second cavity has a PIN diode (38) having a first electrode disposed on a first surface of the electrically conductive member (36). An electrically conductive post (46) has a first end disposed in the first cavity and a second end disposed in the second cavity with the second end of the post electrically contacting a second electrode of the diode (38). Bias drive is applied to the upper second, end of the post (46), the electrically conductive member (36) being earthed through the body (23) of the transmission line (19). Spacer rings (40) set the diode (38) in resonant circuit. The choke (44) is also spaced (42) from the transmission line (19) to provide a quarter wavelength termination. The switch circuit is closed when the diode (38) is fully conducting, and open when the diode (38) is nonconducting.

Abstract: The process consists in subjecting the articles to nitriding, for example in a cyanate/carbonate bath, then to an oxidation, for example a bath containing alkali metal nitrates, alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates and a small quantity of oxygen-containing alkali metal salts whose normal oxidation-reduction potential is lower than -1 volt relative to the hydrogen electrode, so as to obtain a nitrided layer comprising a compact deep sublayer with a thickness of more than 4  mu m and a porous superficial sublayer with a thickness of between 2 and 20  mu m, the diameter of the pores being not smaller than 100 nm, then in depositing a fluoroethylene-propylene (FEP) coating with a thickness of between 3 and 20  mu m and preferably lower than 15  mu m. The rubbing properties of the articles thus treated are at least as good as those of articles which have undergone nitriding and oxidising operations, whereas the corrosion resistance is increased remarkably, passing from 200 - 250 hours' standardised exposure to saline mist before appearance of corrosion to at least 500 hours, and commonly to 1,000 hours and more. The results obtained are comparable with coatings made of PTFE, fluorine or silicon-containing polyurethane polymers and copolymers and polyamide-polyimides.

Abstract: When color reversal materials are developed by a process that comprises prolonged contact with the first, or black-and-white developer, images with a color mismatch or speed deficiency can occur. Such undesirable results can be reduced or eliminated by including in the reversal material, a layer of colloidal elemental silver. The layer can be adjacent to a light sensitive, silver halide-containing layer, which is present within a color record who's speed is to be increased in order to reduce the color mismatch. The amount of colloidal elemental silver employed is less than that used in the art to protect an underlying light sensitive, silver halide layer from exposure by unwanted light.

Abstract: Lock detector for a phase locked loop (PLL) in which a phase error signal (y) is generated representing the phase difference between a reference signal (Fref) and a signal (F) to be locked onto the reference signal. The detector comprises means (42) making it possible to provide the derivative ( phi ') of the phase error signal ( phi ) and a comparator (44) activating a locked detection signal (LD) when the amplitude of the said derivative ( phi ') is below a predetermined threshold ( phi '0). The means comprise an up/down counter (54) for counting up and counting down a clock of high frequency with respect to the frequency of phase error pulses generated by the phase detector of the PLL. The counting up or counting down mode of the counter is switched alternately from one to the other with each phase error pulse. The counter therefore contains the sum of the width differences of the successive pulses generated by the phase detector. <IMAGE>
