Abstract: Conveying device for transporting powdered or granular material such as mortar from a storage container (1) through a hose (3) to a consumer (2) comprises a compressor (4) producing compressed air for transporting the material, a shut-off valve (10) between the storage container and the hose, and a time switch element. When the shut-off valve is closed the time switch element controls further transport of the transporting air over a specified period. The storage container is connected to the hose via a line (5) and opens into the front of the shut-off valve. A valve is arranged in the line.  An Independent claim is also included for a process for transporting powdered or granular material from a storage container through a hose to a consumer using compressed air. Preferred Features: A pressure-monitoring device (18), e.g. a pressure switch, in the hose closes the shut-off valve when a specified maximum pressure is exceeded.

Abstract: A novel process has been developed for the treatment of crosslinked ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) elastomer material to decrease its residual peroxide levels. EPDM is used to form the seats and neck gaskets of metering valves used in metered-dose inhalers (MDI). For filled and inverted MDI units these EPDM components are in direct contact with the pharmaceutical formulation media. The process involves exposing the EPDM valve components to a solution of 2-mercaptoethanol, a chemical reducing agent. The 2-mercaptoethanol greatly diminishes the residual peroxide levels in EPDM by reducing the peroxide functional groups to the corresponding hydroxyl groups. EPDM components treated in this manner have demonstrated very low peroxide levels and, consequently, greatly improved compatibility with the pharmaceutical formulation in the inhaler. An advantage of this approach is that the treated EPDM would likely retain its favorable physical properties and its good performance in metering valves. In this work 2-mercaptoethanol was used as the model reducing agent. It is believed, however, that similar positive results can be obtained using other reducing agents, notably other volatile compounds containing sulfur in one of its lower valence states (i.e. other thiol compounds or sulfur dioxide).

Abstract: A new series of portable electric tools using high frequency three-phase induction motors with built-in power electronic converter are used to power a range of portable tools like Drills, Grinders, etc. The tools operate from a single phase AC mains and a built-in power electronic circuitry converts the input supply to a three-phase, higher frequency (200 - 400 Hz) supply, which is used to drive a three-phase induction motor connected to the gearbox. A microprocessor-based controller, with a novel algorithm, generates three-phase, sinusoidal output waveforms and also provides the soft-start feature for the inverter and the motor. The entire electronics is packaged in a novel way within the housing of the tool itself. The output shaft of the motor, either directly or through a gearbox, can be connected to a wide range of tools like Drills, Grinders, Nut Runners, Screw Drivers, Impact Wrenches, Shears, Nibblers, Saws, Sanders, polishers, etc.  <IMAGE>

Abstract: For the lubrication of the cylinders in marine diesel engines, it is normal practice to supply doses of oil through non-return valves in a ring area of the cylinder in immediate connection with the passage of a piston ring. It is aimed at providing a more-or-less uniform distribution of the oil along the circumference of the cylinder. However, a considerable variation is ascertained in the wear along this area. With the invention, use is made of a high-pressure injection through atomization nozzles, so that an outspread oil mist if formed opposite the individual nozzles, which upon being influenced by the rotating scavenging air in the cylinder is made to impinge against the wall by centrifugal force, and herewith to form a substantially continuous film of oil in a ring area immediately before the passage of the piston ring. There is hereby achieved a good utilization of the lubricating oil, i.e. a saving in oil, an a reduced and more uniform wear on the cylinder surface, to which can be added that the oil-dosing times become less critical than with conventional lubrication.
