Abstract: Yarn texturizing assembly, has a drum to carry the texturized yarn from the jet as a plug, held to its surface, to be transferred to a guide groove at a second cooling drum without a speed change. The yarn texturizing assembly has a texturizing jet together with two drums (22,23). At the outlet side of the jet (10) the yarn travels at the circumference of the first drum as a plug (1') held in place by a friction lock and at least partially in a positive fit lock, so that the longitudinal; speed of the yarn plug at the drum surface matches the speed of the guide groove (220) in the second drum at the transfer zone. A pressure difference in the air system presses the yarn plug against the surface of the first drum, to carry it according to the shape and packing density of the yarn to the end of its path around the first drum, and transfer to the second drum. The yarn plug is cooled at the second drum, and expanded if required, to be transferred to further transport rollers (22').

Abstract: An electronic expansion valve (3) of a refrigeration cycle is controlled such that
during normal operation, refrigerant is always in a superheated state at the
outlet of an evaporator (4). Then the refrigerant is periodically forced by a
superheat control device (6) to have negative superheat for a predetermined
time. During normal operation, the refrigerant sucked into the variable
displacement compressor (1) always has superheat. The refrigeration cycle
operates with a high coefficient of performance. The engine driving the
compressor (1) operates at high fuel efficiency. The refrigerant is temporarily
controlled so as to have negative superheat. Then lubricating oil retained in the
evaporator (4) flows into the compressor (1), preventing that the compressor (1)
suffers from seizing due to oil shortage.

Abstract: The present invention is a device for delivering insulin to a subject with impaired hepatic glucose processing. The device delivers a series of pulses of insulin to the subject over a period of time accompanied by ingestion of glucose in the form of a carbohydrate containing meal. The amount of insulin in each pulse, the interval between pulses and the amount of time to deliver each pulse to the subject are selected so that the hepatic processing of glucose is restored in the subject. Initially after ingestion of the carbohydrate containing meal, the subject's circulating blood glucose level rises. In subjects whose hepatic glucose processing has been restored there is a subsequent fall in circulating blood glucose levels of 50 mg/dl or more directly as a result of hepatic glucose processing being restored to the liver.
