Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for producing a surface-structured, sheet-like semifinished product made from a thermoplastic, having the following process steps: a thermoplastic plastic material is extruded in a molten state onto a temperature-adjustable moving belt or roller surface (5) that forms a negative structure (matrix) to the desired structure, the thermoplastic plastic material emerging from an outlet front (17) that is set transverse to the direction of motion and fully contacting the surface (5) to conform with the structure; the surface (5) is in sections subjected from without to a negative pressure which is at its maximum directly before the outlet front (in the running direction of the surface) so that the cavities belonging to the matrix (25) are practically void of air when the outlet front reaches them, and these cavities are completely filled with thermoplastic plastic material; the molten thermoplastic plastic material is while still resting on the surface - solidified by cooling, with the side brought into contact with the surface assuming the corresponding surface structure; once solidified, the semifinished product is removed from the surface.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to prevent delamination between the covering compound and the chip in the hot-melt assembly process. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the heat flow introduced from the exterior into the chip module is controlled in a deliberate manner, either by a heat-insulating layer (9) interposed between the flexible carrier strip (2) of the chip module and the chip (3) bonded thereon, or by recesses (11) in the surface or layer of the metal contacts (10) such that heat is prevented from flowing from a hollow stamp (1) placed in the outer region of the metal contacts (10) in the direction of the centrally-mounted chip (3).

Abstract: An electric motor (10) has a housing (12) enclosing a rotor which rotates within a stator and which has a rotor shaft (14) passing centrally through the stator and mounted at its ends in bearings (18, 19), the novelty being that a radial force is applied from one side onto one end (15) of the rotor shaft (14). Preferably, the force is applied by a spring (20) with a metal or plastic leaf spring element (22) which may act indirectly on the shaft via a pressure piece made of wear resistant plastic, especially PTFE or polyamide.

Abstract: The surface is formed from a non-woven air-permeable material, e.g. from random micro-fibres (A) of about 10 microns in diameter. The material is not transparent but allows air to pass through it, so it down not offer greater resistance to wind. The material is decorated by micro-jets of a very fluid ink whose droplets do not block the holes between the fibres, so that they continue to allow air to pass through.

Abstract: The present invention relates to liquid acidic compositions suitable for removing limescale-containing stains from a hard-surface, comprising an acid, from 0.001% to 20% by weight of the total composition of a polysaccharide polymer and from 0.001% to 20% by weight of the total composition of a vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer or copolymer, said composition being packaged in a spray type-dispenser. Such a composition provides improved shine to the surface treated while exhibiting effective limescale removal performance. The use of a polysaccharide polymer and a vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer or copolymer, in a liquid acidic composition being packaged in a spray-type dispenser, to treat a hard-surface, reduces or even prevents the formation of watermarks and even limescale deposits on said hard-surface after said hard-surface has first been treated with said composition and subsequently comes in contact with water. Also the use of a polysaccharide polymer and a vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer or copolymer, in a liquid acidic composition being packaged in a spray-type dispenser, to treat a hard-surface delivers shine/long lasting shine to the surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inhibiting an immune response and a method for inhibiting rejection of transplanted tissues. This method comprises preventing an endogenous molecule on a cell selected from the group consisting of gp39 and CD40 antigens from binding its endogenous ligand and preventing an endogenous molecule on a cell selected from the group consisting of CTLA4, CD28, and B7 antigens from binding its endogenous ligand. The prevention of such molecules from binding their ligand thereby blocks two independent signal pathways and inhibits the immune response resulting in transplanted tissue rejection.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a rotary piston regulating device (1) intended for measuring flowable or pourable material, either powdery or granulous. In a cylinder casing (4), a rotary piston is arranged so as to form, in the area of the peripheral surface (18), so tight an area in relation to the cylinder inner surface (6) that, when the cylinder is rotating for each cycle, a working chamber (22) is defined - extending from an inlet area (8) - to receive a certain volume of said material. In order for the volume fed to the working chamber (22) to be modulated, a regulating valve (6) radially adjustable relative to the cylinder casing (4) causes the opening (W) of a slot (40) situated between the rotary piston (14) and the piston-oriented valve end (36) to vary. For intermittent adjustment of the feed slot (40) in each cycle, the valve (36) is radially actuated in both directions by means of a control member (42) depending on the rotary piston rotation (14).

Abstract: The needling machine has a drive to give the needles a vertical movement component and a second drive system for the horizontal movement component. The second drive has two eccentric shafts (18,19;2) rotating at the same speed. Each eccentric section has a crankshaft (16,17;3) to convert the rotary movements into linear reciprocating movements. A coupling bridge (12) directs the linear reciprocating movements to two spaced linkage points (13,14), which have a third linkage point (15) between them coupled to the needle beam (6). A control unit (S1) sets the stroke movements for the horizontal component, by altering the rotary angle positions of the two eccentric shafts.

Abstract: A continuous succession of vessels (10), liquid-filled and open-topped, passes through the testing station, where each is covered. The inner side of this transparent cover (18) is wetted by the liquid. A handling device runs with each vessel. At one location on the path, this places the contact lens in the vessel. At another it, removes it. Preferred features: The cylindrical vessel has a transparent base. It is top-lit (32), with an imaging sensor (34) observing the base. All parts are suitably dimensioned to permit the imaging lens (36) to focus in the base zone (38). A bubble remover based on ultrasound precedes the test station. A chain of vessels succeed, traveling around a pair of horizontal turntables. Handlers load and unload the turntables. They also place and remove vessel covers and lenses with grips. A fluid replacement station is provided. Between turntables, lenses are supplied and removed. Cams along the chain of continuously-driven vessels control the handlers. Numbers of test modules may be connected individually to computers, connected in turn to a common server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of configuring a set of object values in a computer. At least one object value of the set of object values is user-chosen from a number of object values. Each object has at least one possible object value. Each object value is determined or undetermined. Each of the determined object values is assigned to a value. Some or all of these object values is included in the set of object values. The object values are constrained by a rule base defining a number of relationships between the objects or the object values. The method uses at least one interruptable algorithm adapted to deduce knowledge about the undetermined object values. This knowledge indicates whether a user selection of a part of or all of the individual undetermined object values are possible or not. The algorithm(s) includes at least one readout point. In at least one dynamic representation of object values, the deduced knowledge in each readout point represents partial knowledge about the undetermined objects, the partial knowledge being presented to the user in response to a user interrupt or a time interrupt. Thus, the invention improves the interactive performance of configuration because information of knowledge can be gradually extracted.
