Abstract: The machine of the invention comprises a shot-peening unit (A) and a sucking filtering unit (B); in the unit (A) steel microballs are picked from the tank (41) and projected at very high velocity against the surface to be treated through power turbines (2) removing the surface parts and/or the clogging deposits; the debris so taken together with microballs are conveyed in suitable ducts (21,22,22',22'') where they slow and cool down to enter then into the cyclone (3) where it occurs the first separation of microballs debris air and dust; the microballs already separated in a first stage according to their specific weight are subsequently subject to screen (4) for the final separation and cleaning of microballs that are then recycled. In the sucking unit (B) from the shot-peening unit at the bottom arrive the inert fillers that are taken into a removable container (7) where dust (2) is discharged, that through a sucking and filtering group consisting of a centrifugal fan (55), filters (6), countercurrent washing means (51,56,57,58,59) are completely removed from air that goes out purified through the duct (52) and the scroll diffuser (54). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Web offset printing machine is controlled by a system in which several computer units are provided, each having a non-volatile memory unit, with a common time signal supplied to each from a central timer unit. When there is activity in one of the computer units, information recording the activity can be stored in the associated non-volatile memory simultaneously with the time information, corresponding to the time signal output by the timer unit at the instant of activity. Preferably, the timer unit outputs a binary electrical signal periodically as the time signal, which is evaluated by each computer unit has the time base for operations in the computer.

Abstract: A method of detecting environmental stress in plants, particular water stress in cotton plants is based on a hot dilute acid extraction of plant tissues such as cotton fibers. The extracts are analyzed by high pH anion exchange chromatography to separate and characterize the carbohydrates. This method extracts a characteristic series of carbohydrate multimers containing galactose, mannose and glucose. The pattern of multimers is indicative of growth stress during the formation of the plant tissue. In addition, similar multimers can be extracted from textiles and are indicative of textile wear and can be used to determine which manufacturing treatment will improve fabric life. In addition the multimers are shown to contain a protein component. Chemical agents that cross-link the protein component alter the extractability of the multimers. Thus, cross-linking of this type can be used to alter favorably the resistance of fabric to washing induced wear. Finally, a sequential enzymatic extraction method for producing high purity cellulose is disclosed.
