Abstract: Proposed is a concrete, stoneware or cast pipe with a pipe tip (1) and pipe bell (2) containing a peripheral test chamber (5) between a sliding ring seal (4) and hose seal (3) capable of being activated, from which a compressed material can be discharged to effect secondary sealing. The test chamber (5) can be connected to a test line (11). Also disclosed is a method of monitoring the leak-tightness and sealing of the pipe connections: a peripheral test chamber (5) is provided between pipe tip (1) and bell (2) and between two ring seals at least one of which is a hose seal (3) capable of being activated. The test chamber is pressurised to at least 0.2 bar via a test line (11) and the pressure loss is measured to reveal and locate leaks, the hose seal (3) then being activated. It is thus possible to detect, locate and seal leaks as soon as damage occurs.

Abstract: The clamping apparatus (10) has a clamping ring (13) of an elastomer, which has a U-shaped cross section. The clamping ring (13) is seated in a recess (15) in a holding device (12) having parallel side walls. The recess (50) can be connected via a connecting line (18) to a hydraulic or pneumatic pressure source. The outside of the web part (21) of the U-profile acts as a clamping surface (24). Embedded in the area of this clamping surface is a number of clamping elements (27) made of a material of higher strength, in which at least that envelope line which faces away from the clamping surface (24) is exposed. The clamping elements (27) have the same axial extent as the clamping ring (13). One of the side walls of the recess (15) is formed by a clamping part (31), which is part of a clamping device (36) and is guided axially displaceably on the holding device (12) and is sealed off with respect to the latter by means of a circumferential seal element (34). The clamping part (31) is coupled to a power drive (36) which acts in the axial direction. The clamping apparatus (10) is considered both for external clamping and for the internal clamping of a workpiece.

Abstract: A radial-flow, wide-pouring molten-metal distributor comprising a curved or arcuate overflow weir which is normally horizontal on its top and which is concave on its upstream side as viewed from above. Over this arc-shaped overflow weir flows molten metal to be continuously cast in an open pool. An impetus is thereby imparted to the molten metal along diverging radial lines. The flow so impelled continues radially onto a horizontal apron. The flow spreads fanwise to the desired width which may be as much as six times the width of the weir. Thence, the metal cascades or flows uniformly into the casting apparatus. The overflow weir is preferably supplemented by a skimmer mounted above it in substantially uniform spaced aligned relationship, thereby completing a slot beneath the skimmer through which the molten metal flows. When employed for the casting of wide, thin product, the invention results in a far more uniform and gentle distribution of metal than heretofore available. Dribbling and "beards" are eliminated. Swirls and porosity are reduced. The temperature profile across the section being cast is rendered more uniform, thereby permitting a lower temperature of the supply of molten metal entering this novel distributor. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Use of tetrahydrofolates in natural stereoisomeric form for production of a pharmaceutical preparation to influence homocysteine levels, to treat and prevent cardiovascular disorders and to prevent neural tube deficiencies is new. The compounds are applied when a methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency or thermolabile methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase exists. Tetrahydrofolates in the natural (S) form assist remethylation of homocysteine, and therefore act as homocysteine level modulators. They are of use in prevention and treatment of conditions in which there is deficiency of cystathione beta -synthase and/or 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate reductases enzymes. These conditions include cardiovascular disorders, notably arteriosclerosis, and for neural tube deficiencies. The compounds can be used either alone, or in combination with other bioactives, notably vitamins, and especially those of the B-group, B6 and B12, which have synergistic action.

Abstract: A VGA (or other component video signal) output, e.g. from a computer or DVD player, is protected so it is viewable on a VGA monitor. However, if the component video signal is converted to composite video (e.g. television) the resulting television picture is of substantially degraded quality, thereby inhibiting viewing and/or copying. This protects for instance copyrighted material in the VGA format from unauthorized use. The protection involves modifying the horizontal or vertical synchronization signals in the VGA video in such a way that there is no adverse affect on a typical VGA monitor. However, most or all VGA to television converters and/or television sets and VCR's suffer from loss of synchronization, resulting in an unviewable picture. Also, methods and circuits for defeating the copy protection are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of flat structures using foamable material and fibers with a high fineness coefficient. The foamable material is applied by spinning or is foamed totally or partially thereafter on the flat structure by applying energy. Fibers with a fineness coefficient greater than 50 are used. A considerable enlargement of the active surface is achieved by using foamed or post-foamed fibers. This leads to a reduction in bonding agent or binding fiber consumption and in thickness. A reduction in material consumption and costs is also achieved. Insulation values are improved while emissions are reduced.
