Abstract: A method of preparing an aluminum substrate for lithographic printing plate comprises a brush-graining step which comprises surface-roughening an aluminum plate with at least two kinds of brushes whose bristles have different diameters. The lithographic printing plate prepared using the aluminum substrate brush-grained by the foregoing method hardly causes, on a printing press, background contamination and narrowing and/or collapse of the shadowed portion thereof. Therefore, the printing plate can easily be handled even by an inexperienced person and can stably provide high quality copies as compared with conventional printing plates.

Abstract: The invention relates to an accumulator with a double shell for preparing and storing hot domestic water, consisting of a container (1) which is provided with a cold-water supply and hot-water discharge connection (3, 4) and is surrounded by an outer shell (2), with a shape adapted to the said container, which conducts the heating medium and on which heating-medium flow and return connections (6, 7) are arranged. In order to improve and simplify such an accumulator with a double shell with regard to its outer-shell termination in such a way that neither the fabrication and welding-in of a separate ring nor a special shaping of the container terminating end is required, according to the invention the storage container (1) is provided, in the region of the end (8) of the outer shell (2), with an outwardly curved circumferential flange (9) and the end edge (10) of the outer shell (2) is welded onto this circumferential flange (9). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The device according to the invention detects deterioration of a catalytic converter (12) disposed in an exhaust passage (11) of an internal combustion engine (1) based on output signal response curves of the air-fuel ratio sensors disposed in the exhaust passage upstream (13) and downstream (15) of the catalytic converter (12), by determining that the catalytic converter (12) has deteriorated when relationship of a ratio of the lengths of the output response curves of the upstream (13) and downstream (15) air-fuel ratio sensors and a ratio of the areas bounded by the output signal response curves and reference lines satisfies predetermined conditions during air-fuel ratio feedback control of the engine; to eliminate errors in the detection during a transition of the operating condition of the engine (1), the device also determine a degree of transition of the operating condition of the engine, for example, by detecting number of reversals of the output signal of the upstream air-fuel ratio sensor, and corrects the value of the ratio of the areas of the output signal response curves in accordance with the degree of the transition of the operating condition of the engine; thus the deterioration of the catalytic converter (12) is detected accurately both in the transition operating condition and in the stable operating condition.

Abstract: Raw wool contains very many dirty substances and additionally has to be cleaned of the animal fat. The wool should not become matted during washing. There are known machines in which the flow passes through the wool fleece in stages on screening drums and the wool fleece subsequently floats freely. The dirt is then precipitated in the floating zones. To collect the dirty substances, a funnel-shaped discharge space is provided underneath a perforated bottom which delimits the treatment space. The dirty substances often accumulate on the bottom, which is necessary in order to prevent fibre loss, and clog the perforation holes. In order to avoid stopping the machine so as to clean it, care is taken to ensure that, between the perforated bottom (8) and the screening drums (3-5) and also in the region of the floating zones (9), a parallel flow (20, 21) of the liquid occurs over the entire length of the bath (1), in that the liquid circulated in the bath is supplied only at the inlet (18) of the bath and, by lowering the outflow edge (22) at the end of the bath and placing the press (24-27) at a lower level, a larger quantity of liquid flows out in the direction of transport of the fleece (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention provides for a prosthetic implant having a porous surface layer 22 connected to the implant body 20 by the use of a thin layer of a thermoplastic polymer 24 with a melting point substantially lower than the metal components and which exhibits good adhesive bonding characteristics. In the preferred embodiment the thermoplastic polymer of choice is from the polyaryletherketone family (PAEK). 
     The use of the thin film polymer bonding eliminates the undesirable effects incurred during the sintering process in two ways. First, since the thin film polymer melts at a substantially lower temperature than required during a sintering process, the implant body is not subjected to high temperature. Second, the porous coating and the implant are secured together without sintering; therefore, notches are not formed at the point of contact between the porous surface and the implant. 
     The resultant implant with a porous layer attached therefore retains substantially if not all the original strength characteristics of the implant body. Therefore, designers of prosthetic implants are not limited in the amount or location of the porous surface layer on the implant. Further, eliminating the sintering or diffusion bonding process reduces the cost incurred by the manufacturer in the form of time and capital expenditures required to sustain the high temperature furnaces.

Le concept d'immunostimulation est défini comme la stimulation simplifiée du système immunitaire en présence d'un antigène étranger. L'action immunostimulante provient d'une part du blocage de l'action inhibitrice du système nerveux sympathique sur le système immunitaire et par ailleurs, du blocage des centres de stress du système nerveux central, notamment du noyau paraventriculaire de l'hypothalamus.

Abstract: 2.1 Stepped mould inserts are produced using structured irradiation masks with X-ray absorption which varies from area to area; to this end, extensive calculations are necessary. Furthermore, a plurality of masks can be used one after the other and the penetration depth of the X-rays varied for each exposure step; these masks must be positioned with high precision. The novel process allows the production of stepped mould inserts in a simple manner. 2.2 The areas of a structured resist layer which have been produced lithographically and bared by development are filled with metal on a flat plate. The layer is removed mechanically to the prespecified thickness. After the remainder of the resist has been dissolved out, this procedure is repeated a number of times, if desired. The bared areas in the resist layer applied last are filled with metal and covered and separated from the resist layer, giving the multistep metallic mould insert. 2.3 Production of microstructure elements of high precision having a multistepped structure.
