Abstract: In a regenerable ion exchanger unit having a resin container (2) the feed pipes for water, acid and/or alkali solution open out into a joint feed pipe (3) to the pump, each feed being able to be separately uncoupled from the feed pipe (3) to the pump by a controllable shut-off valve (14, 15, 16). The pump is a compressed-air membrane pump (1), feeds directly into one of the liquid pipes opening out either into the top or bottom of the resin container (2) and is provided with a stroke counter (8), a control device (9) connected to the counter (8) being provided to control the volumetric flow rates of water from the water feed and acid or alkali solution from the acid or alkali solution feed via the controllable shut-off valves (14, 15, 16), on the basis of the respective stroke count of the compressed-air membrane pump (1). As a result, a precise metering and mixing of the regeneration liquid fed to the resin container (2) can be achieved and no special safeguards are required for the pump. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is proposed for soldering a heat sensitive component (15), such as a display, onto a printed circuit board (12), this component (15) having to be arranged on one side of the printed circuit board (12) and other electrical components (18) on the opposite side of this printed circuit board (12), and the other electrical components (18) being soldered by means of a solder path and passing the printed circuit board (12), which is mounted horizontally in a soldering frame (10), over a soldering wave (11). In a further step, the printed circuit board (12) is arranged vertically on the soldering frame (10), the soldering connections (20) of the heat sensitive components (15) being held in tangential contact with a soldering surface (19) which is arranged in the lower edge region of the printed circuit board (12). The soldering frame (10) is then moved past a soldering wave (11) which paints these soldering surfaces (19). As a result of this method, it is possible to dispense with having to pass the multiplicity of solder connections (20), for example of a display, through corresponding holes in the printed circuit board (12), and, simply by reversing the printed circuit board (12), it is possible to solder automatically components on one side and such a temperature sensitive component, such as a display, on the other side of the printed circuit board (12). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A novel structure of a silicon solar cell is disclosed, which can be prepared at an outstandingly low cost but can exhibit a good efficiency for the conversion of the solar energy to electric. The silicon solar cell comprises, as an integral body:
     (a) an electrically insulating substrate plate of, e.g., glass or a ceramic;   (b1) a first group of metal contact lines formed in parallel with each other on the substrate surface to jointly serve as an electrode;   (b2) a second group of metal contact lines formed in parallel with each other on the substrate surface to jointly serve as a counter-electrode, each of the metal contact lines of the second group being disposed between two metal contact lines of the first group keeping electric insulation therefrom; and   (c) a plural number of wires of silicon semiconductor each of which perpendicularly crosses with each of the metal contact lines of the first and second groups in direct contact therewith. When the silicon semiconductor is of the n-type, for example, and has discrete p-type regions which are in contact with the metal contact lines of one of the groups, a photovoltaic power is generated between the electrodes under irradiation with sunlight. An alternative arrangement of the silicon semiconductor wires is also proposed in which each of the silicon wires bridges a metal contact line of the first group and a metal contact line of the second group in lengthwise contact therewith.

Abstract: A rotary bushhammering apparatus comprises a head (26, 119) having a hub (15, 115) connected for rotation to a rotary shaft (16, 112). The head (26, 119) in turn comprises a plurality of freely rotating rollers (12, 117) the axis of which is disposed radially to the rotation axis of the head, each roller having radially projecting points (14, 118) on its peripheral surface, so that on rotation of the head (26, 119), it is driven to roll on a surface to be worked, the points thus scratching said surface to be worked. A mass (20, 121) weighing on the rollers (12, 117) is supported between the rotary shaft (16, 112) and head (26, 119) so that said rollers (12,117) can exert pressure against the surface to be worked, the mass (20, 121) being prevented from rotating with the head (26, 119). Advantageously, the head (26) can be connected to the rotary shaft (16) by interposition of an articulated joint (25) enabling the free inclination of the head (26) rotation plane with respect to the rotation axis of the shaft (16). In this way, the working of the curved surfaces is permitted.

Abstract: The circuit has a transformer on whose primary side there is a storage capacitor which can be charged and discharged in a controlled manner and to whose secondary circuit a load is connected. Two ancillary capacitors of the same capacitance are connected in a circuit between the storage capacitor and the transformer, and the storage capacitor's capacitance is a multiple of the capacitance of each ancillary capacitor. Each ancillary capacitor is connected via a charge-control element to the storage capacitor and via a discharge-control element to the transformer, and forms a parallel resonant circuit with the inductance of its discharge circuit. Control means are connected to the charge- and discharge-control elements in order to alternately and cyclically charge and discharge the ancillary capacitors in a controlled manner. By these means, sequences of partial pulses are generated which, for each sequence, collectively form a current pulse. The cycle frequency of the partial pulses determined by the control means is equal to the natural frequency of said resonant circuits. The circuit can generate either direct-current pulses or, in another embodiment, alternating-current pulses.
