Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for screwing on fastening elements, having a feeding device (43) for the fastening elements, a lowerable screwing unit, and a holding device for the fastening element, which, before screwing the latter home, first holds it fast and then releases it. According to the invention, two-part fastening elements (51) are assembled, comprising a holding part and a screw received by the holding part. The holding device of the automatic screwing machine comprises a clamping device (38) which first holds fast a plate of the holding part in a first phase of the screwing operation, as the screwing tool (22) turns in the screw, and downwardly releases the plate of the fastening element in a second phase of the screwing operation. The advantage of the device according to the invention lies in that it enables rapid successive processing of the two-part fastening elements without interruption. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A chopper has a cutting tool (10) having cutting teeth (13) and tooth gaps (14) following alternately one after the other over the circumference, and a counter-cutter, which interacts with the cutting tool (10) for the purpose of disintegrating material (12) to be chopped, and a clearer for removing cut-off chopped material (121) from the tooth gaps (14). For the purpose of providing a cost-effective, robust chopper, the counter-cutter and the clearer are realised by means of a rotating counter-tool (20) the axis (19) of rotation of which is directed parallel to the axis (15) of rotation of the cutting tool (10) and is displaced radially with respect to the said axis (15) of rotation, the direction of rotation of which counter-tool (20) opposes that of the cutting tool (10) and the rotational speed of which counter-tool (20) bears a fixed relationship to that of the cutting tool (10). The stripper (10) has at least one projecting arm-like counter-cutting-edge (21, 22) which is configured in such a manner that, at the cutting-tooth tip, it turns into the tooth gap (14) preceding the said cutting tooth (13) in the direction of rotation and slides approximately along the tooth gap contour in the said tooth gap (14). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Radio alarm systems are known which have a multiplicity of communication channels (traffic channels) for the transmission of messages between glass break detector, opening detector, and the like and a microprocessor-controlled central unit. The individual communication channels are in this case formed according to the time-division multiplex system or by using the frequency-division multiplex system. So that the possibility of direct manipulation from outside is reliably prevented and the interference immunity is increased, the communication channels are formed, in the direction of transmission from the detectors (sensors) to the central unit, by different cycle durations, characteristic for the individual detectors, of message repetition. Preferably, the difference between the different cycle durations is larger than, equal to the duration of transmission for a message. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a multi-feed small-diameter circular knitting machine provided with needles (4), jacks (5) and selectors (6), the selector raising cams (14) have a smaller height than the jack raising cams, so that the selectors (6) return to their selection position while the jacks (5) are still descending. The selectors (6) and jacks (5) therefore move independently after an initial raising by the selectors (6) acting on the jacks (5). The selectors (6) move within a cylinder trick portion (3a) which lies at a greater distance from the cylinder axis than the trick portion (3b) within which the needles (4) and jacks (5) move, and comprise an appendix (21) extending towards the needle cylinder (2) for engaging the jacks (5). The machine can have a larger number of selection positions than know machines for the same needle circle diameter and fineness.

In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.

Abstract: A description is given of a method for retarding a vehicle while its power-shift transmission is switched over for operation in the opposite direction of travel. In this method, the motion of the vehicle is changed over from a first direction of travel to a second direction of travel, the power-shift transmission having a plurality of hydraulically operated clutch elements, including a set of travel-direction clutches for changing over the direction. For the changeover, all the clutches are first of all disengaged and a fluid pressure is then applied only to one first travel-direction clutch (F2) and one second travel-direction clutch (R) in order to establish frictional engagement in the transmission and reduce the speed of travel. Once the vehicle speed has approached the value zero, pressurised fluid is applied to at least one selected clutch in order to engage it and permit a movement of the vehicle in the second direction of travel in a desired gear. Finally, the first travel-direction clutch (F2) is disengaged in order to cancel the braking effect. <IMAGE>
