Abstract: A shifting mechanism (25) is disclosed for shifting a shift rail (11) in a transverse (Y-Y) direction. The mechanism includes a shift finger (23) movable in both the transverse and axial (X-X) directions. The shift rail (11) defines a first blocker surface (59), and axially adjacent thereto a recess (63) in which is disposed a compression spring (71). When the shift finger (23) is positioned in a first axial position (FIG. 6), the shift finger engages the spring (71), and movement of the shift finger in the first transverse direction preloads the spring before the shift rail moves in the first transverse direction. In a second axial position (FIG. 9), the shift finger engages the first blocker surface (59), whereby movement of the shift finger in the first transverse direction results in corresponding movement of the shift rail in the first transverse direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The strip casting machine has a casting nozzle (10), displaceable in the direction of flow (F) of the molten metal and adjustable perpendicular thereto, for feeding molten metal into the adjustable rolling nip (30) between rotating moulds (26, 28). The casting nozzle (10) consists of an upper and a lower nozzle element (14, 16) or, in the case of a vertical strip casting machine, of a left-hand and a right-hand nozzle element, articulated on a melt distribution trough and of two side limiters which form a slot-shaped outlet opening (20) for the molten metal. One or both of the nozzle elements (14, 16) is adjustable, at least in the region of the outlet opening (20). During the operation of the strip casting machine, the casting nozzle (10) is, for start-up, advanced with its outlet opening (20) into a starting position (S) and then pulled back into a working position (W), the outlet opening (20) being expanded, adapting to the rotating moulds (26, 28) in the process. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A reactor (1) for the cleaning of contaminated materials (14) comprises a container (3) and a hood (28) sealable thereon. The container has a perforated false bottom (11) on which is laid a filter layer (15) and the material (14) to be cleaned. A pipe system (16) extends through the material, through which compressed gas can be supplied to aerate the bed. A spray head (42) in the hood (28) enables the bed to be wetted. Through a pipe (23) the space (12) below the false bottom (11) can be subjected to pulses of pressurised gas or a reduced pressure can be created there. The hood (28) includes an outlet (37) for gases. Contaminated liquid is withdrawn through an outlet pipe (13). The reactor can be manoeuvred easily by the provision of rollers (25), lifting hoops (26, 38, 39) and chain cleats (27). <IMAGE>

Abstract: By the method a piece of poultry (26) is caught by the legs in that a flat catching means (28) with two openings each associated to a bottom part with substantially parallel side edges is moved towards the legs of the poultry, so that the legs pass through each their opening to the bottom part and are moved along by the catching means (28) which thereafter is rotated around a horizontal axis (38) so, that the poultry is suspended with the head downwards. The catching means (28) with the poultry (26) is brought to a position, in which the bottom parts of the catching means (28) are placed over a part of a suspended slaughter shackle (48) comprising two upwardly open and downwardly closed slits that are open vertically upwards from said part which upwardly extends out from a plane of the slaughter shackle (48) that is vertical in use, the legs extending through each their slit. Thereafter the poultry (26) is released from the catching means (28) whereby the legs of the poultry (26) slide through the slits until they are stopped by the feet. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A bottle carrier of the type employing tabs surrounding bottle neck openings to support the underside of bottle flanges. The carrier is comprised of an inner clip member and an outer shroud, each having aligned bottle neck openings and tabs. The outer shroud incorporates side panels which fold around adjacent bottles and are adhered to the inner face of the end panels. The side panels are moved into place by the pulling action of gusset panels as the latter are folded into position at the inner face of the end panels. The outermost bottle support tabs are of greater height than the innermost tabs to accommodate bowing of the carrier during lifting, and the other tabs have angled edges adapted to contact the bottle flanges when the carrier is lifted. The inner clip includes short flaps underlying the side and end flaps of the outer shroud.

Abstract: In a computer for executing a computer program, apparatus and a method for updating information within a computer program instruction without interrupting execution of the computer program. The apparatus contains a memory (108) for storing the information within the instruction at an address within the memory (108), circuitry (102, 106, 110) for altering, between periodic accesses to the memory (108) by the accessing circuitry, the information stored in the memory (108). In this manner, computer program execution is not interrupted to alter information within the instruction. Typically, the information is a data field value contained within a computer microcode instruction. Consequently, the data field value is updated, but other information within the instruction such as an operational code (OPcode), is not altered by the updated operation.

Abstract: A chuck for use with a manual or powered driver including a nut (46, 48) rotatably mounted on the chuck body and in engagement with the threads of the chuck jaws (18). Aspects of the chuck jaws, such as the jaw face, are manipulatively formed by selective redistribution of metal. Formation of the chuck jaws in this manner is distinguishable from jaws formed by prior art machining techniques due to the structural orientation of grain in the metal. Forming of the chuck jaws preferably occurs at low applied temperature, i.e., not exceeding 538 degrees Celsius.
