Abstract: Solid activator supports for use with metallocene olefin polymerisation catalysts, consisting of a porous metal oxide carrying Lewis acid sites on the surface based on Al or Mg fluorides.  A solid activator support for metallocene olefin polymerisation catalysts comprises an aggregate of support particles for a solid catalytic composition, formed from at least one porous mineral oxide, the particles being modified so as to carry on the surface Lewis acid sites based on Al or Mg and having the formula Al-F, -Al(F)2 or -Mg-F and the groups Al- being derived from the reaction of a functionalization agent with -OH radicals on the support particles followed by fluorination.  Independent claims are also included covering  (a) a solid support as above, impregnated with an optionally pre-alkylated metallocene catalyst;  (b) a process for preparing a solid activator support for metallocene catalysts used in the polymerisation of olefins;  (c) a catalytic system for polymerisation of olefins comprising  (i) an optionally prealkylated metallocene catalyst,  (ii) a cocatalyst, and  (iii) a solid activator support for the metallocene as described above; and  (d) a process for homo- and co-polymerisation of olefins in suspension or in the gas phase using a catalytic system as described above.

Abstract: A cooling device (1) for chilling a wine bottle (2) comprises a substantially cylindrical housing (3). A panel member (8) formed by a plurality of hingedly connected panel segments (9) is located in the housing (3) and forms a receiving compartment (12) for the wine bottle (2). The panel segments (9) each form a storing chamber (14) for storing a temperature conditionable liquid. An annular ring (7) is mounted on a carrier sleeve (16) which is rotatable and axially slideable within the housing (3) for varying the diameter of a receiving compartment (12) for accommodating bottles (2) of different diameter.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device in the drying of a paper web (W), wherein, after the press section (20) of the paper machine, the paper web (W) is dried in a number of successive groups (R<sub>1</sub>...R<sub>N</sub>;R<sub>S</sub>) with single-wire draw, in which groups the contact-drying cylinders (10) are placed in the upper row and the reversing suction cylinders (11) or equivalent suction rolls in the lower row or in equivalent diagonal or vertical rows. The paper web (W) is pressed by means of the drying wire (15) against the heated faces of the contact-drying cylinders (10), and the paper web (W) is passed, in each group (R<sub>1</sub>...R<sub>N</sub>) with single-wire draw, on support of the same drying wire (15) from one contact-drying cylinder (10) onto the next contact-drying cylinder over the reversing suction cylinders (11) or equivalent suction rolls. When the paper web (W) is placed at the side of the outside curve on the drying wire (15), the web (W) is held on the wire by means of a difference in pressure against the effect of centrifugal forces. The paper web (W) is dried from the side of its lower face substantially across the entire length of the dryer section by means of said contact-drying cylinders (10). The paper web (W) is dried from the side of the upper face of the paper web (W) applying heat through the drying wire (15), thereby the drying of the paper web (W) from the side of its upper face is promoted.

Abstract: Typically the mixer has a conical end section closed by a removable cover (14) with a central entry conduit for cooked ingredients. These are frozen separately, or coated in sauce and simultaneously frozen. The refrigerant fluid, e.g. liquid nitrogen, is fed in by an injector nozzle (24), with a vacuum connector (44) for air removal, adjacent to the conduit entry. The delivery pipe (20) includes a flexible hose section, to facilitate cover manipulation, and an elbow (32). Its free end (26), receiving the incoming fluid supply, includes a manually or automatically operated stop valve (28). The pipe includes an electrically controlled interrupter valve (34), opening and closing in synchronism with the mixer's beater to prevent nitrogen impinging on the blades. This valve is placed downstream of a reduced section zone with a calibrated orifice for the expansion of the liquid nitrogen. The elbow (32), downstream of the orifice, effects, through centrifugal forces, a natural separation of the liquid and gaseous phases, creating a liquid stream on the outside of the bend and a gas stream on the inside. A manometer (36) is inserted upstream of the orifice, also a bleed valve (38). To avoid fluid trapping, and facilitate purging, the downstream pipe sections are inclined at e.g. 15 deg. to the horizontal.

Abstract: Liquid organic material is controllably delivered to a receptacle located in the center of a heated surface capable of horizontally rotating about its central axis. As the heated surface rotates, material deposited within the central receptacle is forced outwardly and across the rotating surface. As the materials move radially, it evaporates into a vapor, which is then transported to one or more nozzles. From the nozzles, the vapor is applied to a substrate and condensed. The spinning disk evaporator enables the evaporation of a wider variety of organic liquids, greater reliability in continuous operation, a decrease in maintenance, and a larger and more constant material flow rate.
