Abstract: The invention relates to a control system for a weaving
frame from out of which pile warp threads are distributed to
a weaving machine, with provisions for detecting thread
breakage and/or thread over-tension of the pile warp threads
whereby the detection provisions are so connected in matrix
structure with the control system that the number of the
signal points to be detected by the control system is
reduced to a fraction of the number originating from the
detection provisions. These signals are preferably detected
by means of micro-controllers which are connected via a
fieldbus provision to a microprocessor operated creel
controller processing unit of the weaving machine.
Furthermore the control system preferably comprises thread
tensioning and thread drawing-back provisions which in case
of an extreme condition thereof make contact with detection
electrodes.

Abstract: The invention provides a stencil printing method
which can give prints high in glossiness by inhibiting uneven
transfer of ink caused by operation of separation of stencil,
and further provides a stencil printing apparatus. The stencil
printing method comprises superposing one upon another a master
stencil sheet (3) and a printing material (1) (a material to be
printed) and pressing an ink supply means (2) to the master
stencil sheet from the side opposite to the printing material,
in the direction toward the printing material, thereby passing
a printing ink through the master stencil sheet to transfer the
ink to the printing material, characterized in that an ink-passing
porous member (4) is disposed between the ink supply
means and the printing material to transfer the printing ink to
the printing material through the porous member, the ink supply
means is separated from the porous member while the porous
member is left on the printing material, and then the porous
member is separated from the printing material. The porous
member may be disposed between the ink supply means and the
master stencil sheet or between the master stencil sheet and
the printing material. The master stencil sheet and the porous
member or the ink supply means may be bonded to each other.

Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator (10), which is comprised of
two subcircuits (10a, 10b). Each subcircuit (10a, 10b) has a pair
of differentially connected transistors (Q1,Q2 and Q3,Q4). The
first subcircuit (10a) is an LC oscillation subcircuit, in which
each transistor (Q1, Q2) has a capacitive transformer (C11,C12 and
C21,C22) in its feedback loop. The second subcircuit (10b) is a
current-controlled variable-capacitance subcircuit, whose feedback
loop has a gain that determines the effective capacitance of the
subcircuit (10b). When the subcircuits (10a, 10b) are combined,
the feedback loops on each side of the differential pairs (Q1,Q2
and Q3,Q4) share the capacitive transformer (C11,C12 and C21,C22).
The result is that the effective capacitance determines the
oscillation frequency for the oscillator (10).

IPC: C07B61/00
Filed: 1998-10-01
Abstract: A process is described for the recovery of
substantially pure alkyl alkanoate, such as ethyl acetate
from an impure feedstock. The impure feedstock is contacted
with a selective hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of
hydrogen in a selective hydrogenation zone maintained under
selective hydrogenation conditions effective for selective
hydrogenation of impurities containing reactive carbonyl
groups thereby to hydrogenate said impurities to the
corresponding alcohols. After recovery from the selective
hydrogenation zone of a selectively hydrogenated reaction
product mixture comprising said alkyl alkanoate and said
corresponding alcohols, this is distilled in one or more
distillation zones so as to produce substantially pure alkyl
alkanoate therefrom which is recovered.

IPC: C08F2/46
Filed: 1998-03-11
Abstract: A process for patterning a feature on a substrate using a plasma
polymerized methylsilane (PPMS) photoresist layer or similar organosilicon film.
The process includes the step of depositing a PPMS film having upper and lower
strata such that the upper stratum is more photosensitive to ultraviolet radiation than
is the lower stratum. In one embodiment, the upper and lower strata are formed in a
multistep deposition process that, preferably, takes place in a single deposition
chamber, In another embodiment, the upper and lower strata are formed by a process
in which deposition parameters are modified to deposit a PPMS layer having a
photosensitivity gradient between the upper and lower strata. In still another
embodiment, various intermediate strata are formed. Preferably, each intermediate
stratum has a photosensitivity that is higher than the stratum directly beneath it. 
     Also disclosed is a process for etching a PPMS layer that increases the
etch selectivity of PPMS relative to PPMSO from an initial low etch selectivity to a
higher etch selectivity at a later stage of the etching process. In one currently
preferred embodiment, the etch selectivity used during a first etching step of the
process is less than 4:1 and the etch selectivity used during a second etching step,
subsequent to the first step, is greater than 5:1. In an even more preferred
embodiment, the etch selectivity of the first step is between 2-3:1 and the etch
selectivity of the second step is greater than 8:1, Optionally, a third etching step,
performed between the first and second etching steps may be employed where the
etch selectivity is between 3-8:1.

Abstract: A joint between two electrical cables (1) having stripped end portions.
The joint comprises electrical and mechanical connection means (2) connecting
both end portions of the cables, a first electrical insulating sleeve (3) mounted on
the connection means and the stripped end portions, a second sealing sleeve (4)
surrounding the first sleeve (3) and extending on both sides of the first sleeve (3)
on said cables (1), and a supplemental and impact-resistant protection element
(5) surrounding at least both end portions of the second sleeve (4). The
supplemental, impact-resistant protection element (5) comprises at least two
layers (11,12): a hard external layer (11) to avoid initial cutting of the object
causing the impact, and another layer (12) that is shock-absorbing at the inner
side of the first layer (11). The impact-resistant protection element (5) preferably
extends over the complete joint so as to surround both ends of the second sleeve
(4). A same protection element may extend over the complete joint and thus
surround both ends of the second sleeve together, or separate protection
elements may each surround one end of the second sleeve. The impact-resistant
protection element (5) may also be a sleeve slipped-on over an end of the
second sleeve (4), may be wrapped around this end, may consist of two shells
surrounding together this end or may be cold shrinkable and applied by cold
shrinking. In another embodiment, the supplemental, impact-resistant protection
element (5) is made of hard, tear-resistive material. It can be moulded in a shape
permitting slipping over one end of the outer sleeve (4) for the impact protection
of the weak zone of the joint. The invention also relates to the impact-resistant
protection element from one of the above embodiments.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly is disclosed of the kind in which a friction pad (3) is applied to one face of a rotatable disc, in which the friction pad is provided with one or more protrusions (8, 9) which project from the leading radial edge in a circumferential direction, the radial thickness (r1) of the projection being small relative to the total radial thickness (R) of the pad, the arrangement being such that in the event of tilting of the pad assembly with respect to the disc, where the brake is in the off position, contact between the protrusion and the disc prevents contact between the rest of the pad and the disc. Preferably, one protrusion is provided at each corner of the pad. This helps to reduce wear of the disc producing judder vibration during braking by reducing disc thickness variation.
