Patent EP-0308832-B1 (EP)
Inventor: KROGGEL MATTHIAS DR
IPC: C08F283/00

Granted: 1994-06-15
Abstract: Graft polymers in which vinyl carboxylates and optionally further ethylenically unsaturated monomers are grafted polymerically onto polyurethane backbones by free-radical-initiated graft polymerisation, and products of the hydrolysis of the graft polymers, can be obtained by grafting vinyl carboxylates having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and optionally further ethylenically unsaturated, polymerisable and optionally copolymerisable monomers in amounts of from 10 to 99% by weight, based on the graft polymer, onto a polyurethane backbone containing at least 2 urethane groups in the molecule, and, if desired, subsequently partially or fully hydrolysing and/or alcoholising the vinyl ester units and any further hydrolysable monomer units in the grafted-on polymer radicals of the graft polymers. Vinyl esters which are preferred for grafting are vinyl acetate and/or vinyl propionate and possibly vinyl versatate. The graft polymerisation is carried out in solution or in bulk and can also be carried out in emulsion or suspension. Unhydrolysed graft polymers are suitable, inter alia, as adhesives, in particular as hot-melt adhesives. Fully and partially hydrolysed graft polymers are suitable, inter alia, for the production of films. Depending on the polyurethane backbone, the degree of grafting, the degree of hydrolysis and the type of grafted monomers, the graft polymers, compared with polyvinyl alcohol, can have significantly lower melting points, and are thus advantageously suitable for the production of pressed or extruded films under mild temperature conditions without the additional use of organic plasticisers. Hydrolysed graft polymers are furthermore suitable, inter alia, as adhesives.

Abstract: Spectral imbalance (alteration in timbre) when playing home video versions of motion pictures is overcome by re-equalization according to a unique correction response curve which compensates for the equalization for playback in large theater-sized auditoriums inherent in motion picture soundtracks. Surround-sound home playback of motion pictures is enhanced by employing main channel loudspeakers that produce generally direct sound fields and surround channel loudspeakers that produce generally diffuse sound fields. Preferably, further equalization is applied to the reproduced surround channel to compensate for the differences in perceived timbre between direct and diffuse sound fields. In addition, the reproduced surround-sound channel is further enhanced by decreasing the interaural cross-correlation of the surround-sound channel sound field at listening positions within the room, preferably by introducing slight pitch shifting in the signals applied to multiple surround loudspeakers.

The central section of the silo interior is occupied by a handling unit that can be of an electromechanical type, for the transfer of automobiles onto the lateral storage stalls and their retrieval. The incoming and outgoing automobile handling operations are carried out by means of metal platforms on which the automobiles are loaded. The platforms are hoisted and transferred horizontally by the electromechanical unit. The platform holding the incoming vehicle is hoisted to the level at which a free place is found available and then moved horizontally and made rest on stationary iron brackets abutting from the silo module walls and located on various levels. The module can be provided with a sole doorway to be used as both entry and exit, and alternatively, can have two doorways opposing each other, one for entry and the other for exit. The entry and/or exit doorway(s) are located at either the bottom level, the top level or the intermediate level of the silo according to the construction criterion (totally underground, partially underground or above ground).

Abstract: 2.1. In conventional dictating machines, magnetic tape stores are used for storing the dictation. It is also possible to store the dictation in a semiconductor store. A dictating machine with a semiconductor store the storage capacity of which corresponds to the storage capacity of a magnetic tape store is a relatively expensive device. 2.2. By combining magnetic tape and semiconductor stores in accordance with the invention, the advantages of both families of stores are combined and it is possible to edit a dictation in a surprisingly simple manner. In a first embodiment, the dictation is temporarily stored in the semiconductor store. It is only after the temporarily stored text has been monitored and if necessary edited that it is written into the magnetic tape store. In a second embodiment, the semiconductor store is only used for temporarily storing the new text section. The new text section is read out of the semiconductor store in such a manner that the end of the new text section is gaplessly joined to the original text contained in the magnetic tape store. 2.3. The circuit arrangement according to the invention enables corrections to be carried out in any passages and of any length. By storing the edited dictation in the magnetic tape store, it is possible to continue to use conventional replay machines. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This disclosure concerns a casting die for a cylinder, including engine blocks having a plurality of cylinders such as for internal combustion engines, including an expendable core for forming a jacket around the cylinders. This core has a printout portion at one end of the cylinder which is held in place by a cooperating flange on a mandrel that fits inside the cylinder. This mandrel may hold a liner for the cylinder. A dowel is provided in one of the die parts for insertion into the hollow mandrel. The mandrel is held in position by being clamped between the two opposing die parts, and the flanges of the core printout portion may be loosely held in the printout cavity of one of the die parts which preferably also contains one or more locating pins for bridging at least part of the gap between the printout portion and the printout cavity in the die for better positioning the core in the die. The core and mandrel may be assembled outside the die before being placed on the dowel, and after the casting is made, the mandrel and core are removed with it and then separated so the mandrel can be reused. For forming plural cylinders in an engine block, a secondary mandrel frame may be employed for further supporting the separate mandrels for each cylinder and the plural cylinder expendable core by holding the flanged printout portion of the core between the flanges on the separate mandrels and the secondary mandrel frame. In casting the plural cylinders of a V-engine block, retractable dowels permit the employment of die parts and slides that move only at right angles to each other.
