Abstract: The invention relates to a rolled product having a thickness that can be adjusted by means of separation. The inventive product comprises an alternating stack (2) of sheets (4) and layers (6) of an adhesive material (8). Each of said sheets (4) has an intrinsic resistance to tearing and each layer (6) of adhesive material (8) joins together two adjacent sheets (4) in the stack (2) using a bond strength that is lower than the tearing resistance of the sheets (4). In this way, each sheet (4) can be detached from the stack (2) without being torn. According to the invention, each sheet (4) is essentially made from woven fibers and each sheet (4) belonging to each pair of sheets (4) which are adjacent to the same layer (6) of adhesive material (8) is impregnated, throughout the thickness thereof, with a mass of adhesive material (8) which is incorporated in the shared layer (6) of adhesive material (8).

Abstract: A brake lining comprises a lining support plate, an underlayer material and a friction lining. The brake lining is clamped between a pressure plate and a holding fixture, which forms a hole matrix and inside of which electrodes are accommodated. A power supply is connected to the electrodes. The adjacent electrodes have different polarities. A current flow is produced between adjacent electrodes as a result of the different polarities. The field lines extend in the shape of an arch. An arrangement of this type permits the friction lining to be scorched. For hardening, a potential gradient can also be applied between the electrodes and the support plate. The current then flows and the entire friction lining is permeated. This results in a homogenous heating of the friction lining. The invention enables an efficient hardening of the friction lining. It is also possible to conduct a hardening and scorching simultaneously. The invention also enables the friction lining to be pressed during the heat treatment.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a split nozzle arrangement includes injecting a mixture of a plastic base material and a foaming or blowing agent into a mold of the nozzle arrangement, allowing the plastic base material to set or harden and subsequently removing the final molded nozzle arrangement from the mold. The foaming or blowing agent produces bubbles or pockets of gas in the plastic base material and thus forms a final molded article in which at least 90% of the bubbles or pockets of gas have a maximum dimension of 0.5 millimeters or less. The plastic base material can be, for example, a thermoplastic material and the foaming or blowing agent can be, for example, a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and acetic acid.

Abstract: A medical device, such as an automatic external defibrillator (AED), and it comprises a housing with an aperture 6 in the form of a slot. At either side of the opening of the aperture, there are electrical connectors 8 and insertion of the electrode 5 in the aperture 6 forces apart the connectors. The medical device includes a circuit comprising a power source 2, a switching circuit 3 and capacitors 4 that can deliver charge to electrodes 5 when placed on the patient's chest during treatment. When the electrode is inserted in the aperture 6, the connectors 8 are held apart, thereby breaking the circuit. However, when the electrode is removed from the aperture 6, tension in the spring connectors 8 is released the circuit of the medical device is completed and is activated by the flow of charge from the battery 2. When the circuit is completed, the medical device may be ready for activation or alternatively, depending on how the medical device is set up, a self-test mechanism may be activated to check the condition of the medical device and/or electrode(s) 5 prior to use on a patient.

Abstract: The apparatus applies a transverse zipper strip to a film ( 10 ) moving continuously in a direction ( 12 ). A continuous belt ( 18 ) is driven by sprocket wheels ( 16 a , 16 b) and carries upper seal bars ( 22 a , 22 b , 22 c) which receive pre-cut lengths of zipper at station ( 3 ). The pre-cut lengths are attached to the film ( 10 ) by a lower seal bar ( 24 ) which moves towards the film ( 12 ) at position A when an upper seal bar carrying a zipper strip is located directly above the film. Sealing takes place as the upper and lower seal bars move at the same speed as the film ( 12 ) from position A to position B where the zipper is released from the upper seal bar ( 22 c). The process then repeats for the next zipper strip length.
