Abstract: Stacker crane (4) for high shelf stores (1, 2) with a mast (6), a load platform (10) movable on this by means of a lifting device (11) and a device (15) for transferring the load (16) to or from the shelf (1, 2). In order to load and unload the load platform (10) with the transfer device (15) without problems arising due to differences in the level of the load platform (10) and the selected storage location on the shelf, the load platform (10) can be arrested within its lifting range by an infinitely variable braking arrangement (17) on the mast (6). As a result the stacker crane (4), particularly when a cable control (12) is used, is suitable as a lifting device to be used by satellite vehicles and on their transfer devices. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The service life of a bottom electrode for a direct current arc furnace for producing steel is prolonged by using ZrB₂ type sintered bodies for contacting pins which constitutes a major part of the bottom electrode wherein the ZrB₂ type sintered bodies have a corrosion-resistance to molten steel and slag. Further, the number of contacting pins to be used is reduced by forming each of the pins into a form of pillar with a through hole at the axis, or by assembling a plurality of longitudinally divided pin portions to form a contacting pin, whereby the diameter of the contacting pin can be made large. 
     Then the space between contacting pins is made broad, and bricks having good corrosion-resistance are filled in the space so that the service life of the bottom electrode is brought closer to that of the refractory lining of the direct current arc furnace.

Abstract: A tape loading apparatus in which a rotation of a motor is transmitted to a loading ring (4) using a planetary gear arrangement (3), a loading mechanism is operated as the loading ring is moved to a tape loading position and the loading ring (4) is locked at the tape loading position by a locking mechanism (5). When the motor is reversely rotated, the lock mechanism (5) releases the loading ring. When the loading ring is released, the gear change action of the planetary gear unit causes, in turn, the rotation of the motor to be transmitted to the loading ring. Thus, the loading ring can be rotated in the unloading direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping unit (32), in particular for centreless lathes (1), with wedge-shaped clamping elements (19, 20) and a drive for moving the clamping unit on the carriage bed (18). The clamping action is composed of preliminary clamping by the clamping motor (34) and by a self-clamping effect which results from the round bar (2) bearing against the clamping elements (19, 20) and from the torque which it has from the turning operation. The preliminary clamping force can be preselected by the clamping motor (34). The self-clamping effect results in a torque-dependent clamping force. To achieve the self-clamping effect in a bar (2) loaded by torque, the wedge-shaped clamping elements (19, 20) are arranged in such a way that their tips or narrow ends (28, 81) point in the opposite direction and the longitudinal extent of the wedge form is orthogonal on the longitudinal axis of the bar. The clamping elements can be preset in the radial direction relative to the bar to be clamped. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A braided surgical suture (30) is provided which in a first embodiment is woven in a spiral braid. The suture (30) is braided by moving thread carriers from position to position around a circular path. As each carrier moves it moves from its present position to a succeeding position which is at least two positions removed from its present position. Such spiral braided sutures (30) are advantageously produced without core filaments, providing benefits in strength, smoothness, pliability and cylindrical uniformity without the discontinuity of properties characteristic of conventionally braided cored sutures. In a second embodiment the suture is woven in a lattice braid, providing a plurality of distributed core passageways for individual core fibers.

Abstract: Seismic source emitting vibrations by rotating an assembly of eccentric balance weights. 
<??>Two pairs of angularly phase-shifted balance weights (A1, A2, and C1, C2) rotate in the same direction. A pair of double-mass balance weights (B1, B2), also angularly phase-shifted with respect to each other, rotate in the opposite direction to the preceding ones and at the same speed. All of the balance weights are driven in rotation by electric motors. An electronic assembly (ME1, ME2) receives control signals (cp1 to cp6 and ac1-3) representative at all times of the position of all of the balance weights and of the direction of the resultant vibration generated and produces the electrical currents (IMA1 to IMA6) for driving the motors, and the currents (ICH, EV) necessary for the control of a hydraulic generator for anchoring the source. This electronic assembly is arranged to automatically control the vibrator in such a way as to obtain the direction, frequency and intensity of oscillation sought.

Title: Apparatus and process for the production of acetylene.

IPC: C10H21/16
Filed: 1990-10-25
Abstract: A two-staged process for producing acetylene and calcium chloride from calcium carbide (12) and water (12) has two successive reaction steps. In step Number 1, calcium carbide is charged into an entrained flow-type reactor (10) vessel containing water. The reaction which follows proceeds to about 60-90 % completion. The entrained reaction products and the unreacted feed material are carried over to a secondary reactor (16) to complete the reaction, and the acetylene gas is drawn off (26). Calcium hydroxide product is removed from the reactor (23) and reacted with hydrogen chloride to form calcium chloride. Heat generated by the exothermic reactions of water with calcium carbide and HCl with calcium hydroxide is used to dry the calcium chloride product and improve its value. In the presence of excess of water, the calcium carbide-water reaction is effectively a first order, irreversible reaction.
