Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a non-flammable gaseous mixture from a first flammable gas and a second gas in which said first gas is flammable. Air may be extracted from the atmosphere or storage container to be treated. The air is circulated in a conduit (22) via blower (14). A flammable gas is injected (12) into the conduit where it is rapidly diluted to a level below its flammability limit. The method is suitable for unattended automatic treatment over an extended period of time, or a so-called "one shot/quick dump" fumigation where concentrations and flow rates are much higher and the process is under manual supervision.

Abstract: The invention relates to handheld injection devices by which set doses of a liquid medicament can be injected from a medical reservoir, such as cylinder ampoule, by release of a power reservoir in the device. The power reservoir can either be an electric battery by which a motor can be energized to press out a set dose of medicine, or a cocked spring maintained in its cocked position by a detent which spring when released can press out a set dose of medicine. When the power reservoir is released, the liquid medicine will be pressed out from the cylinder ampoule through an injection needle mounted on the cylinder ampoule or on the injection device carrying the cylinder ampoule. The power reservoir is released fully or partially by activating a release button, such as an electric switch, located on the housing of the injection device and in the distal half of the length of the injection device. By making at least a part of the distal third of the injection device of an ergonomic shaped cross section, the user can grip the injection device as a pencil is gripped by a thumb, an index finger and a long finger. This will provide a much steadier grip.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drill bit ( 2 ), having main cutting edges ( 4 a , 4 b) which are connected together by a transversal cutting edge ( 6 ). An open surface ( 7 ) which extends into a flute ( 8 ) lies adjacent to each main cutting edge. The drill bit ( 2 ) is ground, in particular, during a continuous three-dimensional grinding process in such a way that the open surface ( 7 ) forms a continuous curved surface which follows a radius of curvature (R) running from the main cutting edge ( 4 a) in the direction of the flute ( 8 ). The continuous grinding process, in comparison to a conventional two-stage process, produces an improved drill bit geometry which is devoid of ridges ( 16 ). The ridge-free configuration reduces the mechanical stress during drilling to a minimum.

Abstract: On-site blending and distribution of oxide abrasives with other constituents as used in semiconductor applications. Constituent blending is accomplished through weighing components individually into a blending tank. Some components may be added by injection or weight. Alternatively blends can be made to varying concentrations by passing the blended oxide solution in a closed circulation loop through a calibrated encapsulated torroid coil to measure electrical conductivity. The resulting conductivity output may be used to add one or more component.

Abstract: The invention relates to a franking machine, comprising a print head of an ink-jet printing mechanism for printing flat postal items such as letters or postcards, which can be introduced into said mechanism or which pass through the same. Said franking machine consists of a guiding part which is located around the print head and projects in relation to the nozzle opening plane of said print head, and with which a conveying device is associated, said conveying device transporting the postal items between itself and conveying rollers lying opposite and rotating about axes that are located crosswise to the conveying direction. Said conveying device has two drive-connected driving rollers which together with the guiding part, form a path of travel. The driving rollers are located in front of and behind the print head in relation to the conveying direction. A reversibly liftable counter pressure roller located opposite exerts a pressure on each driving roller, respectively, or on a postal item being transported in-between. A roller feeler (39, 119) which is driven by the passing postal item and which is associated with an encoder device (122) is located between the driving rollers (13, 15; 127, 113) in order to monitor the speed and position of a postal item being transported or for controlling the pressure on a postal item.

Abstract: The geometry of the exhaust gas turbocharger turbine (4) located in the exhaust gas channel (3) of the internal combustion engine (1) is variable. The boost pressure (pld) can therefore be regulated by changing the turbine geometry. The boost pressure regulation system reacts very quickly to a change in load since a correcting variable (vtg) for the turbine geometry is determined depending on the exhaust gas counterpressure (pag) present in the exhaust gas channel (3) ahead of the turbine. This prevents the exceeding of a desired value, which would damage the turbocharger.

Abstract: A carbonaceous refractory material is produced by adding an organic binder to a mixture containing a carbonaceous material comprising a carbonaceous raw material comprising calcined anthracite, calcined coke, artificial graphite or natural graphite or a mixture thereof at 50 to 85% as the principal raw material, alumina particle at 5 to 15%, metal silicon particle at 5 to 15%, and one or two or more of titanium carbide powder, titanium nitride powder and titanium carbonitride powder at 5 to 20% in total, kneading and molding the resulting mixture and baking the molded article under non-oxidizing atmosphere. By using the carbonaceous refractory material as the inner lining material for the side wall and bottom of blast furnace hearth, the consumption of the inner lining material due to the dissolution thereof in melted pig iron can be decreased, and simultaneously, the abrasion due to the flow of melted pig iron can be decreased, which works to prolong the life of the blast furnace.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for the rapid in-situ curing of polymerizable materials to provide macromolecular networks and articles of manufacture that are "morphology-trapped"; that is, they exhibit a fixed phase morphology and/or molecular orientation that is locked in by the curing step. The process includes the steps of mixing together a dead polymer, a reactive plasticizer and an initiator to give a polymerizable composition; further processing the mixture in order to achieve a desired phase morphology and/or molecular orientation of the polymeric constituents; shaping the polymerizable composition into a desired geometry; and exposing the polymerizable composition to a source of polymerizing energy, without mixing, to give a final product with the desired phase morphology and/or molecular orientation locked in place. The phase morphology and molecular orientation present just prior to cure of the polymerizable composition is subsequently trapped or locked in place by the curing step so that further changes in morphology are hindered or prevented.

Abstract: A positive shut-off air outlet comprises a nozzle (50) having an internal surface with a spherical radius of curvature, a disc (30) mounted within the nozzle having an external surface with a spherical radius of curvature adapted to interface with the internal surface of the nozzle, and a plurality of axle pins (40) disposed in the external surface of the disc preferably extending beyond the external surface of the nozzle. The disc is mounted for rotation and longitudinal movement within the nozzle between open positions permitting air flow and a closed position preventing air flow. The axle pins are received within axle openings (56) disposed in the surface of the nozzle. Each axle opening is dimensioned to permit longitudinal movement of a respective axle pin and the disc in the nozzle. When the disc is in the closed position, air flow causes longitudinal movement of the disc against the nozzle so that the external surface of the disc interfaces with the internal surface of the nozzle to form an air flow seal.
