Abstract: Non-standard sport projectiles, in accordance with this invention, include at least one linear through hole. As this non-standard sport projectile passes through the air, after being hit by, for example, a golf club, the non-standard sport projectile spins. When the above-mentioned through hole is generally aligned with the projectile's direction of flight, air passes through the through hole, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the non-standard sport projectile are enhanced. When the through hole is not aligned with the projectiles direction of flight the aerodynamic characteristics are reduced. As a result, the non-standard sport projectile experiences rapidly repeating intervals of relatively high aerodynamic flight and relatively low aerodynamic flight as the non-standard sport projectile spins around the center cross section of the through hole.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for holding a weft yarn (9) in the area of a main jet nozzle of a jet weaving machine, particularly an air jet weaving machine, particularly having multicolored pick, before a weft yarn (9) is inserted into a shed (20) formed by warp yarns (10). According to the invention, the weft yarn (9) is clamped in a direction of insertion after an injector (1) in the mixing tube of the main jet nozzle and is released shortly before insertion when a pressure pulse for inserting the weft yarn (9) is initiated by the main jet nozzle. In order to control the corresponding jet weaving machine, a clamping device (6) has a pressure sensor (7) that is connected to a compressed air source (8), a machine control (13), valves (8) and to a compressed air supply (3) of the injector (1) via signal lines (11) and (14) and via compressed air lines (15) and (17). The clamping device (6) is located between a first mixing tube section (4) and a second mixing tube section (5) to which a cutting device (18) is connected. The invention also relates to a method during which the weft yarn section is clamped, whereby holding air is only injected during the time between the capture-side arrival of a weft yarn (9) which was inserted immediately before, and the initiation of the pressure pulse for inserting the next weft yarn, which is required according to the pattern, during a released clamping.

an overlying current M on which receives lengthwise arranged peripheral continuous
filaments, and agitates them to cause adjacent filaments to contact each other, to be
entwined and gathered, thereby enabling the formation of a superficial layer of the three-dimensional

Abstract: An improved structure of audio signal cable, the features of which are that
the audio signal cable is comprised of arrayed solid and tinsel wire conductors.
After each of the conductors are insulated and bundled, they are placed into a
surrounding insulation. The solid conductors are of a circular and a flat, thin shape.
The solid conductors are of differing larger and smaller diameters and, furthermore,
disposed in unequal quantities. The smaller diameter tinsel wires are twined to
increase distance and enlarge their surface area to reduce skin effect for better high
frequency transmission, while the larger diameter conductors enable the rapid
conveyance of low frequencies. As such, the present invention achieves the
synchronous phasing of high and low frequency signals.

Abstract: A process converts foul sludge residues arising from the anaerobic conversion of organic residues to methane. In the process, a drainage layer (4) is placed in a pond (1), which is then covered by a suitable root-growing substrate medium (7). Prior to its introduction into the pond, foul sludge (10) is subject to aerobic treatment, and is then repeatedly introduced into the pond above the substrate medium. The pond is planted with an aquatic plant e.g. reeds (8). The aerobic treatment is applied to pre-loosened sludge using compressed air blown into the sludge, which is then cooled prior to discharge into the pond. The root-growing medium has a network of compressed air discharge lines. The process reduces the sludge content of Ammonium Nitrate by more than 75 %. The sludge pH is set at above 10.
