Abstract: The weapon has a recoil compensator with at least one compensation mass (37) which, through the gas pressure activated on firing, is driven relatively to the grip in the opposite direction of that of firing movement. This causes the impulse acting on the grip as the result of the movement of the projectile in the barrel to be reduced and the at least one compensation mass is movable relatively to the barrel. From the gas channel which conducts the gas pressure to the area behind the projectile ready to be fired, a channel leads to the compensation mass.

Abstract: A sensor for use in a sensor dispensing instrument so that fluids can be tested when the sensor is ejected from within a sensor cavity of a sensor pack sealed by a foil. The sensor has a generally flat, rectangular shape and is formed by a base and a lid. The sensor has a perpendicularly extending longitudinal and transverse axes. A rear end of the sensor has a notch that is engaged by a knife blade within the sensor dispensing instrument as the sensor is being ejected through the foil from the sensor cavity. A front testing edge of the lid overhangs a front testing edge of the base of the sensor. One side edge of the sensor adjacent the front edges of the base and lid is beveled at about a 25 DEG  angle. The front base edge extends from the beveled side portion across the entire remaining width of the sensor at an angle of approximately 10 DEG with respect to the transverse axis. A first major portion of the front lid edge extends from the beveled side portion across a significant portion of the width of the sensor at an angle of about 15 DEG  with respect to the transverse axis of the sensor. The other portion of the front lid edge extends at an angle of about 25 DEG  with respect to the transverse axis of the sensor so that a relatively pointed tip at the side edge opposite from the beveled side portion is formed to pierce the foil as the sensor is being ejected from the cavity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a polycarbonate pellet, which comprises subjecting a melt-extruded polycarbonate to cooling and cutting in this or reverse order or simultaneously, wherein the cooling is performed using cooling water having an electric conductivity of 1 mS/cm or less as measured at 25  DEG C, and is also concerned with a polycarbonate improved with respect to the suppression of occurrence of crazing which can be obtained by the above-mentioned method. From the polycarbonate pellet obtained by the present invention, a molded polycarbonate product can be obtained which is improved with respect to the suppression of occurrence of crazing even when the product has experienced moist heat environment conditions. Therefore, the polycarbonate pellet of the present invention can be advantageously used for the production of a molded polycarbonate product which is suitable for use in fields (such as the medical field and food-related field) in which a molded polycarbonate product is repeatedly subjected to sterilization by means of hot water or steam, and an optical field (such as an optical disc) in which an optical defect caused by the occurrence of crazing in a molded polycarbonate product is a serious problem.

Une partie de l'énergie solaire passant à travers les cavités de diffusion d'énergie (26) se trouvant dans le diffuseur (10) est réfléchie par les parois (30) des cavités et réorientée puis diffusée avant d'être émise vers le récepteur (12). La géométrie des cavités de diffusion d'énergie (26) et les caractéristiques réfléchissantes des parois (30) des cavités peuvent être conçues de manière à fournir le degré voulu d'effet de diffusion. Le diffuseur (10) réduit la probabilité de formation de points chauds accidentels, ce qui permet de rapprocher le flux d'énergie projeté maximum du récepteur des limites des matériaux des tubes dudit récepteur et permet de produire des récepteurs plus petits, plus compacts et plus efficaces. Le diffuseur (10) limite également la circulation d'air à proximité des tubes (16) du récepteur, ce qui réduit les pertes d'énergie et augmente le rendement global du système. Ces changements permettent d'augmenter sensiblement le rendement global d'un système générateur de l'électricité d'origine solaire présentant le diffuseur de l'invention.

Abstract: The actual welding temperature is fed to the control unit(8) and compared with a set value stored in the data carrier(10) on the plastic fitting(2) and using an adjustable variable the temperature is controlled to the set temperature for optimum welding quality. A set temperature for preheating and another for the welding event are also stored in the data carrier together with the time/set temperature profile. The actual welding temperature is recorded on the basis of either the physical properties of the heating wire(14), a melt pressure sensor or magnetic, especially high frequency properties. A tolerance band is provided for the set temperature during welding. The control unit(8) performs several tasks, e.g. heating to the set temperature, measuring temperature, carrying out safety checks and controlling the resulting adjustable variable. The data carrier(10) contains fixed control parameters, especially welding temperature and/or preheating temperature and/or heating wire temperature coefficients and/or welding and preheating times and cooling times. The control variable remains constant during the measuring and control cycles of the control circuit or can be switched on and off at intervals. A further temperature sensor(30) at a precise distance from the melting zone checks whether the heating wire and hence melt has reached a prescribed limit and a signal from this sensor halts the welding action.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a resin-impregnated endless belt structure having a texturized outer surface requires the use of a support structure, either a cylindrical mandrel or a pair of carrying rolls, having a texturized surface. An endless, permeable base structure is placed about the support structure, which is adapted to place the base structure under tension in a longitudinal direction. A polymeric resin material is dispensed onto the outside of the base structure on the support structure. The polymeric resin material totally impregnates the base structure and passes therethrough to coat the texturized surface of the support structure. A layer of polymeric resin material is also built up on the outside of the base structure. The polymeric resin material is then cured, and may be ground to provide the layer of polymeric resin material with a smooth, uniform surface, and the belt structure thus obtained is removed from the support structure. The belt structure is finally turned inside out, placing an impression of the texturized surface of the support structure on the outside of the belt structure, that texturized surface having a plurality of indentations for the temporary storage of water pressed from a fibrous web in a press nip.
