Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved heat curable epoxy resin adhesive in which a metal oxide, for example zinc oxide, and a polyhydroxyaryl compound, for example gallic acid, are used in combination with an epoxy resin, for example a heat curable liquid epoxy resin adhesive, to give an adhesive composition having significantly improved binding strength and resistance to weathering. 
     The epoxy resin adhesive composition of the invention has been found to be particularly advantageous in the bonding of metal surfaces providing higher bond strength over a prolonged period and improved resistance to the deterioration of bond strength in the presence of water or high humidity.

Abstract: The composite scissor assembly utilizes one or more flexible composite straps (21) disposed either in a radial or non-radial relationship between a hub attached to a rotor shaft (24) and an inner or outer ring (26) of a helicopter swashplate (20). The composite material has sufficient edge-wise stiffness to allow effective torque transmission between the rotor shaft (24) and the swashplate (20) yet has sufficient flexibility to allow for a vertical and angular displacement of the swashplate (20) relative to the rotor shaft (24). Utilizing a flexible composite scissor assembly eliminates the need for mechanical linkages having pins and bearings which are a frequent source for wear, increasing the reliability of the rotor assembly, while reducing weight.

Abstract: A process for waste incineration is described in which waste - as far as is necessary - is comminuted, then, if desired, mixed with fuels and subsequently incinerated at temperatures of 1100 to 1700 DEG C, the ash being produced in liquid form and being discharged in the most part as liquid slag from the combustion chamber and the pollutants being separated from the combustion gases formed. The process is characterised in that the liquid ash particles suspended in the exhaust gas at the combustion temperature are removed by at least one gravity separator and are then either solidified alone or combined with the liquid slag and solidified together with this.

Abstract: 5 n7 A method is provided for the treatment of hydrocarbon-contaminated soil by chemical hydrolysis and/or oxidation of the hydrocarbons in the hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. The method includes using lime which has been conditioned with a novel hydrophobizing agent. The novel hydrophobizing agent comprises a liquid blend of a specified mixture of liquid fatty acids having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms and a specified mixture of glycerides of fatty acids having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms. The conditioned lime is blended with physically-preconditioned, i.e. having a maximum grain size of 5 cm, moist, hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, the blending providing a degree of dispersion at least near microscopic level. A charge of the blended conditioned lime/soil is conveyed to an enclosed, inclined reaction vessel, where hydration of the lime is carried out. The heat of the hydration reaction is retained within the vessel, so that hydrolysis of the fatty acid conditioner and/or hydrocarbon contaminants in the soil is effected. Air or oxygen-enriched air is substantially-simultaneously introduced into the reaction vessel together with steam and/or water as required by the chemical reactions, thereby to effect a flameless, intermediate-temperature oxidation of the hydrocarbons or their hydrolyzed degradation products. Decontaminated soil product is discharged from the reaction vessel by passing the soil product, in dry, dusty hydrophobic form through a treating zone where it is sprayed with a surfactant. The surfactant-treated solid is passed to a blender where it is mixed with sufficient water to provide a substantially dust-free clean product.

Abstract: An electrophotographic printing machine includes a photoreceptor drum (1), and a dielectric transfer belt (22). The transfer belt (22) moves in contact with a surface of the photoreceptor drum (10). A toner image formed on the surface of the photoreceptor drum (10) is temporally transferred to the transfer belt (22), and is then transferred to and fixed on a recording material (P) by a transfer and fusing unit. The transfer and fusing unit includes a heater (15) and a pressure roller (17) mounted to face each other with the transfer belt therebetween. The recording material (P) is transported onto the transfer belt (22) moving toward the heater, and then to the transfer and fusing unit by the transfer belt (22). The transfer belt (22) stably applies a transport force evenly to the recording material without interruption so that the recording material is carried stably to the transfer and fusing unit. Consequently, the toner image is transferred to and fixed on the recording material without distortion.

Abstract: In a digital/analog converter having a weighted capacitive network (CN1, CN2), it is proposed to design the stray capacitances of the converter network to be weighted in order to reduce switching non-linearities. For this purpose, additional stray capacitances (CSA1, CSA2; CSS1 to CSS16) are connected in parallel with the existing stray capacitances (NCS1 to NCS16; CNS1 to CNS16). In the case of the network capacitances with higher values, the additional stray capacitances (CSA1, CSA2) are positive and in the case of the network capacitances with lower values, the stray capacitances (CSS1 to CSS16) are effective, that is to say have a negative effect. The converter is built up as a completely differential converter. The chip area can be optimised by combining the measures. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a radio base station (BS1) comprised in a radio communication system such as a GSM system a lot of real time processing is required, e.g. for channel coding and decoding. Therefore a considerable number of processors (SCO1, SCO2, OCO) is needed. For optimal deploy of processors and for easy system extension, modification and configuration the radio base station (BS1) comprises an internal arbitration bus (IPB) coupled to the processors (SCO1, SCO2, OCO) and to the channel codecs (CHC1, CHC2, CHC3, CHC4) or other resources. In this way a master and slave arbitration system in a radio base station is achieved in which requests from masters and requesting slaves can be ordered flexibly, and in which optimal use of resources can be made. By applying a RAM table in which master and slaves are assigned to each other optimal flexibility in use of resources is achieved. In a preferred version adaptive polling of requesters is applied, in order to increase system throughput.

Abstract: Hot raw fuel gas is produced by the partial oxidation of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbonaceous fuel or an aqueous slurry of solid carbonaceous fuel with substantially pure oxygen. The raw fuel gas is cleaned, cooled in a plurality of indirect heat exchangers (53,55,93,107), and purified to produce clean sulfur-free fuel gas. Water is the coolant in one of said indirect heat exchangers and is thereby heated. Dry nitrogen gas is humidified with the warm water and the humidified nitrogen gas is separately introduced into the combustor (90) of a combustion turbine (128). The clean sulfur-free fuel gas is passed in indirect heat exchange with the raw fuel gas, expanded to reduce its temperature and pressure, and separately introduced into the combustor (90) where it is burned with air while in the presence of the water humidified nitrogen gas. Flue gas containing water humidified nitrogen gas and a substantially reduced amount of NO<sub>x</sub> gases is produced and passed through a power-producing expansion turbine (128) as the working fluid. Increased power and efficiency are thereby obtained without polluting the atmosphere.
