Abstract: Apparatus (1) for cutting a continuously fed profile (2) into arcuate portions comprises circling means (14) for imparting curvature to the profile such that the profile thereafter travels a substantially circular feed path (20), cutter means (5) for cutting the profile to predertermined arcuate length and drive means (34) for reciprocatingly driving the cutter means along a section of the circular feed path such that the cutter means remains substantially stationary with respect to the profile during a cutting period of each cycle. The drive means comprises an extensible link (31) extending between the cutter means and a mounting (32) and the link is cyclically extended and contracted by means of a rack and pinion gear means (50,45). The use of rack and pinion gear means avoids fluctuation in the length of the arcuate portions thereby produced and enables the portion length to be accurately adjusted. The apparatus is particularly suited to the cutting of bicycle rim profiles.

Abstract: Recording medium disk-hub combination wherein the hub has a central hole whose periphery is bounded at least partly by three flexure members which circumscribe a cylinder corresponding to a disk drive spindle. The three flexure members are arranged in a triangular configuration, and the parts of such flexure members that circumscribe the cylinder are coplanar, forming a flexure member plane of contact. The axial center line of the recording medium disk is spaced from the flexure member plane of contact by no more than three times the thickness of the disk itself. The combination is preferably designed with the ratio of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the hub to that of the recording medium disk being between 0.7 and 1.4. Hub is made magnetic, e.g., by attaching a magnetizable disk. The combination is especially useful for removable recording disks intended to cooperate with disk drives having circular motor spindles and magnetic hold down. The combination yields improvements in off track or centering accuracy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating electrically conductive particles such as soot and the like, especially for separating soot particles from the exhaust gas flow of diesel internal-combustion engines by means of an electrostatic separator, through which the gases flow, corresponding to the design shown in Fig. 2, fine-grain soot particles being transferred into relatively large accumulations by the influence of an electrostatic field - which is built up after supplying a high voltage via the high-voltage supply (8) between the high-voltage electrode (1) and the housing (6) or housing cover (7), which is at earth potential - which accumulations can be filtered out in a downstream filter system. The high-voltage electrode (1), which is centrally located in the ceramic insulator (2), is fixed inside the housing (6/7) via the two spacer webs (2') of the ceramic insulator (2), the fixing tabs (10) and the spring elements (5). Accumulations which are deposited on the ceramic insulator (2) and hence increase the flow resistance in the exhaust gas flow, through blockage, are burnt off by the electrical conductor (3), which is thermostatically controlled - by means of temperature sensor (4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Polycarbophil or crosslinked acrylic acid polymer is prepared in a solvent selected from acetone, alkyl acetates, and mixtures thereof, in the presence of an effective amount of divinyl glycol crosslinker, and in the presence of an effective amount of a suitable initiator allowing for polymerization to proceed at a temperature below 100°C at atmospheric pressure. The polymer produced has average particle size of less than 10 microns without grinding, its viscosity is greater than about 50,000 cps when measured in water at 1% concentration, and it adheres to mucous membranes. By preparing the polymer in a non-aqueous solvent, the need for aqueous washing is avoided and the subsequent and enormous swelling of the polymer is avoided which means that prolonged and excessive drying inherent in the known processes is avoided.
