Abstract: The chain wheel (2) for a chain comprising links that are oval, alternately rotated about 90 degrees, vertical and horizontal, has pockets with plane support surfaces which accommodate the horizontal links and has teeth which support these links with their noses. The teeth have convex flanks. The vertical links are accommodated in a groove between the teeth. The convex flanks and the plane support surfaces abut each other directly. The bottom of the groove is flat. The wire cross-section of the chain links is rectangular with rounded corners to the inside of the link. The radius of the rounding for both unloaded and loaded conditions is smaller that the radius of the nose of the link.

Abstract: Radiation-activated catalysts (RACs), autocatalytic reactions, and protective groups are employed to achieve a highly sensitive, high resolution, radiation directed combinatorial synthesis of pattern arrays of diverse polymers. When irradiated, RACs produce catalysts that can react with enhancers, such as those involved in autocatalytic reactions. The autocatalytic reactions produce at least one product that removes protecting groups from synthesis intermediates. This invention has a wide variety of applications and is particularly useful for the solid phase combinatorial synthesis of polymers.

Abstract: In a carding assembly, with a card drum (10) and a number of flats (20), the set gap (d) between the drum clothing (12) and the flat clothing (22) is adjusted by working the contact area of the flats. Each flat has a laying surface (32) parallel to the contact area for the flat clothing. By working the gap between the contact area and the laying surface, all the flats have the same value. The flat contact surface area is worked when new clothing is fitted. The working is by copy-milling and/or copy-grinding. The grinding process uses boron nitride, and especially with a boron nitride grinding ring. The contact area is of a harder material than the body of the flat, and the contact element is a pin of hardened steel. The pin has a circular cross section, flattened at the contact area to form a rectangular cross section. The pin (26) is bonded to the carrier (24) in a force fit, positive fit and/or by material bonding.

Abstract: In views of a disadvantage that in a conventional method for localization of sound image in stereo listening, the amount of software is increased and the scale of hardware is enlarged, this invention has been achieved to solve such a problem and intends to provide a processing method for audio signal to be inputted from an appropriate sound source capable of higher precision localization of sound image than the conventional method. When a sound generated from an appropriate sound source SS is processed as an audio signal in the order of inputs on time series, the inputted audio signal is transformed into audio signals for the left and right ears of a person and further each of the audio signals is divided to at least two frequency bands. Then, the divided audio signal of each band is subjected to a processing for controlling an element for a feeling of the direction of a sound source SS and an element for a feeling of the distance up to that sound source, which are appealed to person's auditory sense and outputting the processed audio signal. <IMAGE>
