Inventor: LESNIAK JOHN M
IPC: C08L33/02
Filed: 1988-09-20
Abstract: The invention provides absorbent compositions, a method for handling and immobilizing particulate absorbents and absorbent articles produced therefrom. 
     Absorbent materials such as cross-linked, water-soluble and water-swellable particulate polymers are immobilized and safely handled by adding thereto an aqueous liquid such as water or saline in amounts sufficient to form hydrates in which the water comprises from 20% to 80% by weight of the total hydrate. The hydrates may be extruded, sprinkled, or sprayed and can be incorporated into absorbent articles such as diaper and tampons by conventional means. The hydrates unexpectedly increase the total water absorbency of the absorbent on a dry basis.

Abstract: An improved drive assembly for a straight line shear mechanism or like, reciprocably mounted mechanism of a glassware forming machine wherein the mechanism is coupled by an arm to a drive rod, the improvement lying in the provision of an adaptable joint between the drive rod and the arm. Such joint permits a limited amount of radial repositioning of the arm relative to the drive rod, and a lesser amount of axial repositioning and reorientation. A preferred design of such joint utilizes a hardened sleeve (41) fitted around a segment of the drive rod (20), such sleeve having a flange (43) to provide a radial surface. A rod nut (46) placed at the other end of the sleeve provides a second radial surface. A bushing (50) secured within an aperture of the arm (35) by a bushing nut (58) is housed around the sleeve between the sleeve flange and the rod nut. Such bushing has an inner diameter which is somewhat greater than the outer diameter of the sleeve to provide a radial clearance region (70), and its axial length is slightly less than the separation of the sleeve flange and rod nut thereby providing limited axial clearance (80).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the continuous generation and preheating of a hydrocarbon gas/steam mixture as the raw material for a reforming process for the production of hydrogen gas or synthesis gas (reformer product). To reduce the treatment cost required for utilising the waste heat arising in the reforming process in connection with the generation and preheating of the hydrocarbon gas/steam mixture, it is proposed that the preheating of the hydrocarbons (6), the generation of the steam and the further heating of the hydrocarbon gas/steam mixture take place in a single heat exchanger, in which the heating medium is separated by partitions from the fluid to be heated (hydrocarbons, water, steam), the water of the steam fraction being injected (7) in the liquid form into the heat exchanger and being conducted directly, with simultaneous at least partial vaporisation, with the stream of the hydrocarbons passed through the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A container closure formed in its closed state of a springy, elastomeric plastic, to be snapped onto the neck of a container with a ring-shaped retaining portion (2). The retaining portion (2) is connected via a hinge (10) to a re-closable lid (3). A tear-off strip is formed in the join between the lid and the retaining portion in the area opposite the hinge (10). The strip (4) is defined by scoring (6, 7) to diminish its strength. A seal is provided in the join between the lid (3) and the retaining portion (2), in the circum­ferential sections between the hinge (10) and the ends of the tear-off member (4), said seal being in the form of material bridges (5) spaced around the circumference of the closure. The tear-off strip (4) extends along approximately half the circumference of the closure and is connected with substantially rigid joins between the lid (3) and the retaining ring (2) so that the closure can be pressed onto the neck of the container without the material bridges (5) being broken. When the lid (3) is opened at the hinge (10) and the bridges (5) are thus broken, substantially by pure tensilw stress, an accoustic signal will be obtained if the bridges (5) were unbroken.

Abstract: Bei um die Schildzapfenachse in Panzertürmen angeordneten höhenrichtbaren Rohrwaffen erfolgt bisher der Auswurf leerer Patronenhülsenstummel in zwei Verfahrensschritten, wobei die Hülsenstummel zunächst aus dem Ladungsraum in eine weitere im Turmbereich angeordnete Auswurfvorrichtung transportiert und anschließend von dieser in den Außenbereich des Turmes befördert werden. Ein direkter Transport der Hülsenstummel vom Ladungsraum in den Turmaußenbereich ist bei den bekannten Ausführungen nicht möglich, weil bei diesen Rohrwaffen der Rohrvorlauf unmittelbar in der Feuerstellung erfolgt. Hier schafft die Erfindung Abhilfe durch die Anordnung einer an der Rohrwiege (9) und an dem Bodenstück (11) befestigten sowie mit einer turmfesten Führung (29) korrespondierenden Vorlaufsperrvorrichtung (1). Diese Vorlaufsperrvorrichtung (1) enthält Mittel, die den Waffenrohrvorlauf in einer von einer Indexstellung des Waffenrohres (5) abweichenden Feuerstellung solange unterbrechen, bis das Waffenrohr (5) die für den Beladevorgang notwendige Indexstellung eingenommen hat. Durch den Einsatz dieser Vorlaufsperrvorrichtung erfolgt der Hülsenstummelausstoß noch während des Rohrvorlaufs in der Indexstellung des Waffenrohres, ausschließlich durch den innerhalb des Bodenstückes (11) angeordneten Hülsenauswerfer in einem Bewegungsschritt direkt von dem Ladungsraum in den Turmaußenbereich.

Abstract: Some communication apparatuses (1) which utilize telephone line have a function called the repertory dialing. The repertory dialing is to store, in a memory (9) provided in the telephone set or the like, pairs of destination telephone numbers and numbers corresponding thereto, of two digits for example, called compressed dial numbers, thereby to perform telephone calling operation by entering one compressed dial number corresponding to a desired destination telephone number. 
     According to the invention, the communication apparatus (1) performs setting and canceling of the compressed dial number mode by detecting the state, on hook or off-hook, of the handset (3) by means of a hook state detecting means (5). When the handset (3) is in on-hook state, compressed dial number mode is selected. By operating the dial number keys (13) to enter a compressed dial number in this state, corresponding destination telephone number is read out of the memory (9) and calling operation is performed. Thus telephone number entering operation is simplified to enable accurate and quick input operation.

Abstract: An optical information reading apparatus for reading recorded information by detecting the presence or absence of pits (1061) on an optical disk (104) using a laser beam converges the laser beam by a lens (103b) to irriadiate the same on the optical disk in the form of light spots (105) in the in-focus state. A dividing line (107) of a holographic grating (102) used for detecting offset of the lens from the in-focus state and a dividing line of a photosensitive detector (108) receiving a light diffracted by the holographic grating are adapted so as to be parallel to a radial direction of the optical disk. Therefore, when a light spot formed on the optical disk by astigmatism of the lens assumes an elliptical shape, the light spot becomes an ellipse whose long axis extends to the direction of the dividing line of the photosensitive detector, so that no error signal is generated in the in-focus state.
