Abstract: In an enclosed shoe press having a press blanket extending through an extended nip defined between a backing roll and a press shoe, an anchor device is disclosed for anchoring a peripheral edge of the press blanket. The anchor device includes a rotatable head which defines a conical peripheral surface for supporting the blanket. A ring defines a concave surface which cooperates with the conical surface of the rotatable head such that the peripheral edge of the blanket is anchored between the conical surface of the head and the concave surface of the ring. Also, a pin extends radially inwardly from the ring, the pin engaging a hole defined by the peripheral edge of the blanket. Additionally, a plurality of barbs extend away from the concave surface for assisting in anchoring the peripheral edge of the blanket against the conical surface of the rotatable head. A mechanism is provided for urging the conical surface of the head axially away from the press shoe so that the conical surface moves towards the concave surface of the ring such that the peripheral edge of the blanket is wedged between the conical surface of the head and the concave surface of the ring. The arrangement is structured such that when the blanket extends through the extended nip and during subsequent flexing of the blanket, the peripheral edge of the blanket is firmly anchored to the conical surface of the rotatable head.

Abstract: An electronically conducting or mixed ionic and electronically conducting non-stoich-iometric oxide, in which undesired pO2 driven volume changes of the main phase is counterbalanced by contraction/expansion of one or several secondary phase(s) or by gradual solution/dissolution of the secondary phae in/from the main phase.

Abstract: In a joint prosthesis the head cap is connected via a collar piece to the shaft piece which may be anchored in the bone. The collar piece is coupled to the shaft piece by a joint head in a ball-jointed manner. The articulation surfaces between the joint cavity in the shaft piece and the articulation head on the collar piece are embodied such that on pressing the articulation head to the base of the joint cavity, edges or projections on the one articulation surface digs into the other articulation surface lying on a virtual spherical surface. It is thus possible to achieve a ball-joint like articulation, whereby the spherical surfaces may have a relatively large production tolerance without the above affecting the clamping connection between the articulation surfaces.
