Abstract: A method and apparatus for separating target particles from a mixture of target and non-target particles. The apparatus includes a vessel having an inlet through which the mixture may be introduced and an outlet through which the fluid may exit, at least a portion of which is pliable; a bed of binding material disposed within the vessel, the binding material attracting the target particles such that the target particles may become bound thereto and being porous enough to allow the non-target particles to pass therethrough; and a screen disposed below the binding material for retaining the binding material in place. The pliable portion of the vessel permits the user to separate the target particles from the binding material by merely squeezing the pliable portion in such a manner as to cause relative movement in the binding material, thereby creating the necessary degree of agitation to cause the target particles to become dislodged from the binding material. The deformation of the pliable vessel can be accomplished by either the user physically squeezing the vessel with his/her hand or using an external apparatus that applies the necessary force to the vessel.

Abstract: In an injection moulding unit having a support block receiving the plastication cylinder, the hydraulic drive cylinders (A) and the injection cylinders (E) are supported on the carrier block in such a manner that the cylinder (18) of the drive cylinders simultaneously carries the ram for the cylinder (11) of the injection cylinders (E). Due to the fact that the cylinder (18) of the drive cylinders (A) is integral with the ram, designed as a radial flange (18b) of the cylinder (18), for the cylinder (11) of the injection cylinders (E), it is achieved that the injection moulding unit is equal to the progressively increasing high forces without the favourable prerequisites for efficient series production being dispensed with. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A gasketed membrane electrode assembly (10) for electrochemical fuel cells employs gasketing material (12, 14) at the periphery of the ion exchange membrane (16), rather than the membrane itself, as a gasket. The gasketing material may be formed from an elastomeric material suitable for cold bonding or bonding by heat and pressure. A nonhydrophilic thermoplastic elastomer is the preferred gasketing material. The gasketed membrane electrode assembly provides a seal between the electrically conductive separator plates that is more effective and economical than assemblies employing the membrane itself as the gasketing material. In an alternative embodiment, a gasketed membrane assembly for use in the humidification portion of a fuel cell employs gasketing material at the periphery of a water permeable membrane.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des filières permettant de former un extrudat de matière fluide semblable à une feuille, tel qu'un film de matière plastifiée au solvant ou thermoplastique, ou un revêtement liquide, par ex., un revêtement photographique, sur une bande support continue. Les filières comportent des cavités interne et externe, la matière fluide étant amenée au centre ou à l'extrémité de la cavité interne. Entre les cavités interne et externe se trouve une fente interne et entre la cavité externe et l'extérieur de la filière se trouve une fente externe. La cavité interne est ouverte à une extrémité, si l'extrémité est alimentée, ou aux deux extrémités, si le centre est alimenté. L'extrémité ouverte, ou chaque extrémité ouverte, est fermée par des éléments de fermeture (82, 84) qui sont démontables afin de permettre l'accès à la cavité interne pour procéder au nettoyage et au contrôle. Un organe (88) est situé dans la cavité s'étendant depuis l'extrémité ouverte ou depuis chaque extrémité. L'organe (88) sert à réduire le passage d'écoulement de la matière fluide dans la cavité interne. Par sélection appropriée de la forme de l'organe, des vitesses d'écoulement constantes de la matière fluide passant dans les sections de la fente interne contiguë à l'organe peuvent être obtenues. Par l'utilisation d'une pluralité d'éléments interchangeables de formes différentes, on peut extruder une matière fluide selon diverses combinaisons rhéologiques et vitesses d'écoulement de tout en maintenant l'uniformité de l'épaisseur dans le sens de la largeur de l'extrudat. L'invention peut également s'appliquer à un autre type de réalisation où l'on trouve une seule cavité et une seule fente.

Abstract: A speed change control method and apparatus for a vehicular automatic transmission having a first-speed clutch for establishing a first speed and a second-speed clutch for establishing a second speed, includes subjection of at least a duty ratio Dr of a second-speed solenoid valve for supplying oil pressure to the second-speed clutch to feedback control, so that the first-speed clutch is engaged while disengaging the second-speed clutch. This thereby increases a turbine rotational speed Nt toward the first-speed synchronous rotational speed. Further, an upper limit value Dmax of the duty ratio Dr is set, and the duty ratio Dr is subject to feedback control within a resultant duty ratio range, thereby preventing the duty ratio Dr from being set at an excessive value caused by a delay in the rise of the oil pressure. As a result, even if a depression of an accelerator pedal is suddenly increased during a downshifting process, an interlock problem can be prevented, thereby ensuring smooth speed change. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a device in air-suspended trucks to adjust the level of the truck loading plane. The device consists of a valve (8) which is fixedly secured to the loading plane and is in communication with a pair of lifting bellows (4, 5) incorporated in the air-suspension mechanism. The valve is mechanically connected to one of the wheel axles (2) of the vehicle by way of an articulated arm (9) which is adapted to sense a change of level between the loading plane and the wheel axle (2). In response to changes of the loading plane level, the articulated arm (9) opens the valve (8), said valve conducting pressurized air to or from the lifting bellows (4, 5) respectively for the purpose of adjusting the level of the loading plane. The device comprises a pivotal arm (10) which is arranged to control the opening/closing mechanism of the valve (8). At one of its ends the pivotal arm (10) is hingedly connected to the articulated arm (9) and at its opposite end it is connected to a control mechanism (11). With the aid of said mechanism (11) the pivotal arm (10) may be shifted between two end positions in which the valve (8) is in a maximum open condition for respectively supply of pressurized air and venting of pressurized air from the lifting bellows (4, 5) via an intermediate position in which the valve (8) is closed.

Abstract: In the conditioning and homogenising of a glass stream (32) consisting of coloured glass, at least one cooling zone (K) and subsequently a homogenising zone are arranged in a pre-furnace between an inlet point and a removal point. In the pre-furnace, the glass temperature is lowered from an inlet temperature T1 to a removal temperature T2. For the purpose of intensifying the cooling action with simultaneous homogenising of the glass temperature, a maximum bath depth Tmax of 120 mm is set in the at least one cooling zone (K), at a throughput of at least 70 tonnes per day, by a sill-shaped raised part (23a) of the floor (23), which extends over the length of the cooling zone(s) (K). Furthermore, the cooling power is set in such a manner that, in the cooling zone (K), the temperature 20 mm above the floor is reduced by at least 40 DEG C. In the apparatus used, the raised part (23a) of the floor (23) extends over the entire length of the cooling zone(s) (K). The maximum depth Tmax of the flow channel is 120 mm above the raised part (23a) and the depth of the flow channel in the homogenising zone if at least 30 mm deeper. <IMAGE>
