Title: Method for aligning and matching room of connection-and end-parts of molded wall profiles in kitchen installations, involves determining simulated
IPC: B41M1/40
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: Aligning and matching the connecting- and end-parts of molded wall connection profiles of installed kitchen assemblies, particularly in the case of direct wall connection profiles with plastics film coatings, wood and ceramic tiles etc. aims at providing an almost perfect match between the molded strips and the connecting- and end-parts. Initially, the simulated is determined by photography and digitalization of the information for transmitting a two-dimensional image on to three-dimensional structures by processing the digitalized information and comparing any distortions. A plastics plate or block is then fabricated from the processed image and the connecting- and end-parts are printed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing supported chrome catalysts for the polymerisation of olefins by loading a xerogel carrier with chrome by mixing the xerogel carrier with a volume of a 0.025 to 15 wt. % solution of a chrome compound or with a volume of a 0.025 to 7.8 wt. % Cr-containing solution which is essentially converted into a chromium(VI) compound when said solution is heated in a water-free flow of gas under oxidising conditions to temperatures ranging from 300 to 1,100  DEG C over a period of 10 to 1,000 min, whereby the xerogel carrier is mixed in a solvent which contains not more than 20 wt. % water. The xerogel is loaded by subsequently vaporising the solvent, whereby the volume of the chromium salt solution used is smaller than the pore volume of the xerogel carrier.
