Abstract: Unsaturated fatty acid derivatives which, besides fatty acids with two double bonds, contain fatty acids with more than two double bonds, are hydrogenated in the presence of a palladium, platinum or rhodium catalyst which has been treated with ethylenediamine or a homologue and/or a derivative thereof and at a temperature of -20 DEG to 100 DEG  C. The hydrogenation progresses very selectively while very little isomerization to trans-fatty acids occurs. For example, in the hydrogenation of soya bean oil to a linolenic acid content of 2%, the linoleic acid content only decreases to 45-52%. Under identical conditions an untreated catalyst leads to a linoleic acid content of about 35%.

Abstract: Paper security with luminescent authenticity mark which, after excitation by an invisible light, emits only invisible light of a different wavelength. The luminescent substance may be added to the printing dye or to the paper during manufacturing. A corresponding checking device allows the checking of the authenticity of the paper security in the presence of the customer but without his knowledge. It could be taken advantage of the fact that the test signal and the authenticity signal remain invisible in order to place the apparatus behind an opaque plate (2) for the visible light but transparent for the authenticity and test signals.

Abstract: A filter testing device has a filter housing which has an air inlet and outlet and receives the filter. An inlet line is connected to the air inlet. An inlet valve for the inlet line is controlled to produce a continuous and evenly increasing air pressure therein and an electronic pressure sensor monitors the air pressure therein. An electronic evaluating and control circuit has a time switch, an adjustable threshold device and a peak pressure detector, and controls the inlet valve, a vent valve connected to the inlet line, and a recording mechanism. The air pressure in the inlet line is increased until it reaches a preset pressure. The inlet valve is then closed for the time period set on the time switch. Thereafter, air is again supplied to the inlet line until no further pressure increases are detected by the peak pressure sensor.

Abstract: A process for controlling an industrial robot in which most data for controlling the robot can be supplied using a preset process without moving the robot and only data for regions in which very precise control is required need be prepared by actually moving the robot. A programming unit is provided separate from but connectable to a robot control unit. The programming unit is used to compile and transfer completed programs to the robot control unit for controlling the movements of the robot. To program the robot control unit, the programming unit and robot control unit are connected as an on-line system. Then, data describing a desired path of movement is inputted to the programming unit as a series of coordinates in Cartesian form. In regions where very precise control is required, the coordinates describing the desired path of movement are corrected using small corrective motions of the robot. The inputted data and the corrected coordinates are displayed.

Abstract: A process for the solvent fractionation of palm oil stearine or of catalytically rearranged palm oil stearine, or other stearines from animal or vegetable sources into three fractions of widely different physical properties is described. One fraction  is composed of high melting triglycerides (hard fat fraction), which melt from 45-65 DEG C. A second fraction is composed of somewhat lower melting triglycerides which melt from 33-44 DEG C (the confectionery fat fraction). The third fraction is composed of low melting triglycerides and is an oil at room temperature. The major value of these fractions is their ability to function as food components but they have numerous non-food uses particularly in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Their utility is not restricted to their individual use but on the contrary their usefulness may be tremendously increased by using them in combinations of two or more fractions or with other fatty materials.

Abstract: A guidance system enables a moving body (1) to be guided to a predetermined location (40) by allowing the body to view its surroundings and to compare the viewed scene with a reference pattern stored on the body. A number of individual reference patterns (24 to 28, 40) are stored, and each reference pattern corresponds to an area of the surroundings which is very much smaller than the field of view (8) and thus the body identifies its position by correlating its field of view with one of the reference patterns. To enable the body to identify its position even if it deviates from an expected path (31), a number of reference patterns are laterally displaced from the expected path. The extent of the lateral displacements reduces with decreasing distance from a predetermined location to which the body is to be guided.

Abstract: A device for preventing the self-unscrewing of a screw cap from a container, e.g. a bottle for use in pharmacy or perfumery and typically containing a volatile liquid product. The container has a neck having formed thereon a screwthread and a projection at or below the lower end of the neck screwthread. The cap screwthread has such a length that, during screwing of the cap onto the neck, the front or lower end of the cap screwthread strikes against the projection when the inside surface of the top portion of the cap is in contact with the top end of th neck. Final screw tightening of the cap causes the front or lower end of the cap screwthread to ride over the projection so that the cap is held more securely in a tightened condition on the container neck.

Abstract: A body (11) for improved shedding of vortices has a short downstream length, e.g. 0.3 cm, yet is capable of excellent flow metering performance. The body includes an upstream elongate thin plate (19) spanning the inner diameter of a conduit, and one or more downstream sections (21). Generally, these sections are in the form of cylindrical rods of various cross-sections, with their longitudinal axes parallel to that of the plate. These sections may be separated from the plate, or rigidly attached to the downstream side thereof. By simultaneously maintaining the ratio of the width (HF) of the thin plate to the overall width (HT) of the downstream sections within the range from 1.0 to 2.2, and the ratio of the width of the thin plate to the diameter of the conduit within the range from 0.1 to 0.3, enhanced linearity of signal is achieved. This results in a narrow profile flowmeter assembly which occupies the same amount of space as a conventional orifice plate.
