Abstract: The invention provides a dispenser for dispensing atomized fluids under pressure, provided with a shut-off element operated by the pressurized fluid. The dispenser comprises a compression chamber housing a movable piston (13) from which there projects an appendix (17) which, when in the rest state, is urged by a spring (15) to seal a discharge hole (7) provided in a body closing said chamber, which communicates with a seat into which the end of the stem (3) of a pressurized fluid pump can be inserted; when the fluid pressure within said chamber overcomes the resistance of the spring (15), the piston (13) moves and its appendix (17) frees the discharge hole (7). That end of the piston (13) close to its appendix (17) is slidable in a sealed manner within a cavity in a bush (8); a communication duct between the compression chamber and the discharge hole (7) is freed only when said end of the piston (13) emerges from the bush cavity on withdrawing.

Abstract: A process separates a suspension from a milled agricultural cereal product and a liquid esp. water. The separated products are a solid cereal gluten phase and/or cereal starch, a light fluid phase consisting of water and soluble substances, and a heavy liquid phase consisting of cereal gluten and fine starch. The suspension is fed to a three-phase centrifuge, in which the solid phase is removed by means of a helical extractor. (a) the heavy liquid phase is tapped by a skimming system; (b) the separated gluten is removed from the three-phase decanting centrifuge; (c) the water in the heavy liquid phase is removed by a further separation system esp. a second skimming system, weir assembly or similar to leave the three-phase decanting system in a free-fall. There is a high relative speed differential set between one skimming disc in the first system and the centrifuge drum.

Abstract: When an intersection of a destination is set with a switch (1), a beacon transmitter (9) transmits the destination intersection information to a traffic information center together with an ID number of the vehicle via a beacon. Recommended route information up to the destination intersection, road junction information, and available lane direction information are transmitted from the traffic information center via a beacon to a beacon receiver (11). A simple display (5) shows recommended route information from the received recommended route and various information. An audio output device (7) provides vocal guidance. All these operations are controlled by a control device (computer) (3). Therefore, the device does not have to maintain and display map data. Names of intersections and coordinates of the intersections are stored in the control device (3). The user can easily enter a destination by specifying a name of an intersection by the switch (1).

Abstract: Techniques for reducing the amount of junk e-mail received by a user of an e-mail system. A recipient description containing non-address information is added to an e-mail message. The user has an e-mail filter which has access to information which provides a model of the user. The e-mail filter uses the non-address information and the model information to determine whether the e-mail message should be provided to the user. The e-mail filter further has access to information which provides models of the user's correspondents. If the filter does not provide the message to the user, it uses the non-address information and the model information of the user's correspondents to determine who the message might be forwarded to. A sender of e-mail can also use the model information of the sender's correspondents together with the non-address information to determine who the message should be sent to. The techniques are used in a system for locating expertise.

Abstract: A process is disclosed of making a polydiorganosiloxane-silica universal mixture from a free-flowing, powdered, surface-modified, reinforcing silica-polydiorganosiloxane composition used to make, for example, RTV silicone sealant compositions which are non-sag. These mixtures are made by combining, mixing and heating a reinforcing silica filler and a diol surface modifying agent at 20°C. to 180°C. using 0.05 to 0.5 part by weight of the diol per one part by weight of the silica. Polydiorganosiloxane is added gradually to the resulting fluidized filler over a time period of less than 10 minutes to obtain the free flowing powdered reinforcing silica-polydiorganosiloxane. The foundation mixture is obtained by massing the above composition and adding more polydiorganosiloxane to obtain a mixture which has from 5 to 20 weight percent of silica filler. The product mixtures have a plateau stress of greater than 700 dynes/cm 2  and a shear-thinned viscosity of no more than 1,000 Pa·s at a shear stress of 50,000 dynes/cm 2 . RTV silicone sealant compositions are obtained in 10 to 15 minutes from the start of making the surface modified silica filler to the final sealant composition.

Abstract: The delay circuit includes interconnected groups (1,2) each of which has a series of memory cells (4-10) having a capacitive storage element (20,26,40,45), write (22,28,42,47) and read (21,27,41,46) transistors. Coupled to the memories are control circuits (11-16) to control the operation of some of the write transistors and read transistors. Information from a write conductor (18) is stored in a capacitor via the respective write transistors and read from the capacitors to a read conductor (19) via the read transistors. Each control element consists of a number of serially coupled stages each receiving a clock signal (PH1,PH2). The circuit receives a bit sequence on one input (Fs) and a sinusoidal signal (Fe) on another input. Every input signal to the control elements cause activation of the read transistors while every control element output signal causes activation of the write transistors.
