Abstract: An optical angle measuring apparatus for measuring the angular displacement of a polygon (P) with light reflecting facets (F), for use, e.g., in machine tools. The apparatus comprises projecting means (12,14,16,18) for projecting collimated light beams onto a facet (F) of a polygon, means (20) for detecting and transducing into angle measuring data the location of the focused light reflected from the polygon facets (F), means (32,34,35) for computing the difference between the angles of any given facet and an adjacent facet relative to a respective angle of an ideal regular polygon, and means (32) for processing and compensating for the said angle data to yield a corrected angle measurement. The corrected angle measurement is displayed on display means (36). A method for measuring the angular displacement of an object relative to a reference position employing the aparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention proposes a combined line for small sections and wire, which consists essentially of so-called cantilever (CL stands) with floating roll rings and the special feature of which consists in the fact that a number of roll stands (7) with a modular unit (8, 8', 8") comprising roll rings (10) supported on both sides (double bearing) are arranged in the roughing line (1) and in the intermediate line (2) and/or the finishing line (3). The CL modular unit of the CL stands comprising floating roll rings can, if required, be replaceable by a modular unit comprising roll rings with double bearings. For this purpose, the second bearing (18) of the modular unit is arranged in a casing frame (19) which can be coupled to the gear casing (12) of the CL stand, and the roll ring can be mounted and demounted by means of an automatically actuated, preferably hydraulically acting, rapid clamping device (11), which has piston-cylinder units (25, 26) for clamping and releasing the roll ring on the shaft (14) in the axial and radial direction. The modular unit furthermore is a roll casing (40) of sandwich-type construction with casing plates (44) which can be separated from one another.

Abstract: Disclosed is an agitator including an agitation axis (2) at the center of the agitator vessel (1), an agitator blade (6, 7) mounted on the agitation axis and consisting of a flat-plate-shaped blade (6) disposed along the inner surface of the bottom wall of the agitator vessel (1) and a grating-shaped blade (7) continuous with the flat-plate-shaped blade, a baffle plate (10) vertically extending for rotation around the agitator blade along the inner surface of the side wall of the agitator vessel (1), and drive equipment (4, 5) for rotating the baffle plate and the agitator blade independently from each other. When the agitator blade (6, 7) and the baffle plate (10) are rotated at different speeds, circulating flow is formed in the vessel. The grating-shaped blade (7) at the upper portion of the agitator blade shears a part of the circulating flow which descends along the radially inward agitation axis, thereby dividing that part of the flow into small parts. The small parts of the liquid are efficiently mixed together by the action of minute swirls generated behind the components of the grating-shaped blade (7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The genes (sod) encoding Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus caldotenax Mn-superoxide dismutase have been cloned in Escherichia coli and their entire nucleotide sequences determined. With the exception of the post-translationally cleaved N-terminal methionine residue, the predicted amino acid sequence of the B. stearothermophilus enzyme (BSMnSOD) exhibits 100 % similarity to the previously determined amino acid sequence. The B. caldoenax enzyme (BCMnSOD) differs by two amino acids from BSMnSOD. Both recombinant MnSOD's were shown to be functionally active in E. coli, both in vitro and in vivo, and were expressed to 47 % of the cells soluble protein by coupling their transcription to the E. coli trp promoter. The pharmaceutical use of these bacterial superoxide dismutases is described.

Abstract: Disclosed is an elongated, curved sanitary napkin (10) having elasticized, raised side edges (50,52) along the opposite sides of an absorbent (18). A garment attachment panel (14,16) is secured to the underside of each raised side edge (50,52). A fixed portion (70) of the garment attachment panel (14,16) is bonded flat against each raised side edge (50,52) so that a free portion (72) of each of the garment attachment panels (14,16), extending from the fixed portion (70), is directed generally inward and downward. During use, the garment attachment panels (14,16) are fastened together beneath an undergarment crotch by hook and loop type fastener (78,80). The fastener (78,80) and the garment attachment panels (14,16) are dimensioned so that, when fastened, the garment attachment panels (14,16) exert a pull on the raised side edges (50,52) and control their deflection, thereby preventing them from folding in over the absorbent (18). The garment attachment panels (14,16) confine the crotch portion of the undergarment under the absorbent (18) so that the elasticized edges of the panty crotch are prevented from pulling up and onto the absorbent (18). <IMAGE>
