Abstract: The present invention discloses an operating mechanism for a cistern (1) or flush tank which is able to be used for a wide variety of cisterns, irrespective of their volume to depth profile. The preferred mechanism takes the form of a generally cup-shaped weir (22) which surrounds the flush valve (18) and from which a support frame (7) extends. The height of the rim of the weir (22) is able to be selected or adjusted, for example by the use of a number of rupturable panels (24) located in the walls of the weir (22). A mechanism (26,27) to adjust for height variations between the flush actuators (14) and the flush operating mechanism (15) is also disclosed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for purifying a styrene polymer which comprises treating a highly syntiotactic styrene polymer which is produced by using a catalyst composition of (A) an aluminoxane or a specific coordination complex compound and (B) a transition metal compound with a swelling agent (e.g. ethylbenzene) and a deactivating agent (e.g. methanol, ethanol). The process is capable of efficiently purifying the styrene polymer produced by polymerizing a styrene monomer at a high concentration with a high conversion efficiency. Accordingly, the process greatly improves the industrial productivity of highly pure styrene polymer.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting the heating characteristic of a heating circuit controller, after a manual change in a desired value TRw of the room temperature, the heating characteristic is automatically transformed, depending on the value of the outside temperature TA, from its previous position into a new position by the heating circuit controller either by means of a parallel displacement or by a rotation or also by means of a parallel displacement in conjunction with a rotation such that the heating characteristic is matched to the manual change with the desired precision. A first weighting function (f1) determines a displacement component, and a second weighting function (f2) determines a rotation component of the transformation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device is described for removing tobacco particles from a strand conveyor (3) of a cigarette strand machine with the transfer of a tobacco strand from the strand conveyor to a formatting device (4), which has a base body (19) for insertion into the strand machine in the strand intake region of the formatting device (4) and a removal edge (26) which can be positioned in a removal position relative to the strand conveyor (3). The removal edge (26) is coated, at least in its region which interacts with the strand conveyor (3) in the removal of the tobacco particles, with a coating (27) of polycrystalline diamond. The coating of the removal device with polycrystalline diamond offers the advantage of a longer service life and, because of longer intervals between replacements of the removal device, an increased cost-effectiveness of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Encapsulated particles, such as magnetic particles, colored pigments, or carbon black, with high chemical affinity for ink vehicles. The encapsulated particles of this invention are suitable for printing inks, as well as for magnetic recording systems, such as audio and video tapes and magnetic storage disks, when the encapsulated particles are magnetic particles. The encapsulated particles comprise particles having a coating on their surface, said coating comprising in one embodiment an ionomer and in another embodiment, an oil, such as soya oil, and optionally a thixotropic agent, and/or a binder resin. The method of the present invention for making such encapsulated particles avoids the use of volatile organic solvents and provides printing inks and coating compositions comprising such encapsulated particles, that also avoid the use of volatile organic solvents. Inks may be readily formulated without the need for the complicated and expensive flushing process, by simply dispersing the encapsulated colored pigment or carbon black in the desired vehicle.
