Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the prepara­tion of a reactive carrier for a Ziegler-Natta type poly­merization catalyst. In the prior-art carrier preparation methods the focus has been mainly on improving the reactiv­ity of the carrier by grinding or on preparing the carrier in specific reactivity-enhancing conditions, but the methods have been expensive and the results have not always been satisfactory. In the present invention, the reactive carrier is prepared by
     a) causing the untreated carrier and a substance complex­able with it to react with each other in order to form a particulate, thermally decomposable complex compound or complex salt, and   b) treating the thus formed complex compound or complex salt with heat in order to separate the complexable sub­stance in part or completely from the carrier, which is thereby rendered reactive.

Abstract: A hot water supplying system is adapted to be connected to hot and cold water sources to mix the hot and cold water for discharging the mixed water. The system comprises a mixing chamber having a mixing valve movable therein to vary the mixing ratio of the hot water to the cold water, and a controller at which an intended water temperature is selected in accordance with a temperature scale provided thereat. The controller is operatively connected to the mixing valve so as to move the same into a proper position of discharging the water at the selected temperature. The mixing valve is given a temperature-responsive characteristic to be capable of self-adjusting its position independently of the controller in such a way as to adjust the water temperature in an open loop control manner at the start of discharging the water. An initial compensation mode is provided in the system to monitor the water temperature and determine a deviation between the monitored temperature and the selected temperature. When the deviation exceeds an acceptable level, the controller responds to reassign the temperature scale with the mixing valve position in order to reduce the deviation to the acceptable level and therefore to provide a consistent relation between the water temperature and the selected temperature, whereby compensating for variations in temperature and pressures of the hot and cold water sources available at differing installation sites.

Abstract: An automatic chemistry analyzer comprises discrete sample cups (11) about the circumference of a carousel (12). A motor (15) selectively moves the sample cups towards and away from a target location (14) where a probe (27) is located for reciprocal vertical motion. The motion is timed for reaction with a sample cup so that when the sample cup (11) is in position at the target location (14), the probe removes fluid from the sample cup. When the sample cup is moved from position, the probe dispenses fluid into an injection cell (24) below the sample cup. A vertical motion only is imparted to the probe, while the sample cups move under the action of a single motor horizontally and laterally to define a rotational movement.

Abstract: The invented printer includes a carriage-actuated clutch (24) and a motor-driven gear element (42). The clutch (24) is selectively engageable with the element (42) and causes the printer to perform different tasks when engaged. More specifically, the invented printer includes a motor-driven gear (42), a printhead and a printhead carriage (44), a clutch (24) having a flexible portion (28), and a gripping surface (30) on the flexible portion (28) for engaging the motor-driven gear (42). To actuate the clutch (24), the carriage (44) pushes against the clutch (24) causing it to flex and engage the motor-­driven gear (42). When engaged, rotating the gear (42) a predetermined distance causes the clutch (24) to rotate a predetermined distance, in turn causing the printer to perform a certain task. Continuing to rotate the clutch (24) causes the printer to perform other tasks. 
     The invented printer also includes a paper-feed mechanism for picking up and feeding a sheet of paper into the printer. This mechanism includes a rotatable drive roller (20) that moves paper through the printer, a spring-biased plate (18) capable of pivoting around an axial pivot, biased to extend toward the drive roller (20) and on which paper is stacked, a partition (66), having at least one opening (67), positioned between the roller (20) and the plate (18) for generally preventing the roller (20) from contacting the media on the plate, and a pivot (26) adjacent the roller (20) for selectively allowing at least a part of the roller (20) to extend through the opening (67) in the partition (66) to contact the top sheet of paper and feed it through the printer. The paper-­feed mechanism is one task that may be triggered by the carriage-actuated clutch (24).

Abstract: The fault-current interruption switch is preferably provided for transformer branches in ring cable switching installations. It represents a self-sufficient device, accommodated in a closed housing, having a vacuum switching chamber (1), a converter (4), a magnetic trip device (5), a switch-off spring (9) and an interlock (10) which can be released in the event of a disturbance. After each disturbance interruption, the vacuum switching chamber (1) can be switched on again via a screw spindle (18), and the switch-off spring (9) interlocked again. An extension (25) of the shaft of the moving switch contact (1b) transmits the switching movement to the exterior where it enables a switch position indicator or, via connecting means, the tripping of an associated isolating or load switch (32a). The secondary coil (4b) of the converter (4) and the ring coil (5a) of the magnetic trip device (5) are connected in series without using an external energy source. When a lower disturbance current level is reached, the induced secondary current is used to operate the magnetic trip device (5) and hence unlocks the interlock (10). The switch-off spring (9) then switches the vacuum switching chamber off. Once the disturbance has been remedied, the vacuum switching chamber (1) is switched on again via the screw spindle (18). Because the switching device according to the invention contains a vacuum switching chamber (1), it is able to interrupt an unlimited number of disturbances without having to gain access to the interior of the switching device. It can thus be installed inside the encapsulation of gas-insulated switching installations and is thus at the same high insulation level as the means of operation which are in the gas atmosphere. On the other hand, the housing of the switching device according to the invention can be designed in a gas-proof manner so that its internal functions are not affected by environment influences such as corrosion or humidity etc. when used in air-insulated installations.
