Inventor: SACCONATO EMANUELE
IPC: D06F33/02

Abstract: A program control device for a laundry washing machine comprising a tub, a rotatable drum mounted in the tub and a liquid collecting receptacle communicating with lower and upper portions of the tub via a conduit and an electric recirculation pump (5). 
     The device comprises two pressure switches (1, 2) adapted respectively to determine a minimum liquid level and a maximum liquid level in the tub irrespective of the amount and the liquid absorption capacity of the laundry contained in the drum to thereby permit the execution of "intense" and "gentle" laundry washing programs. 
     The "intense" washing programs, in particular, may be executed by admitting reduced amount of liquid to the tub both for the washing operations proper and for the rinsing operations, with the resultant reduction of the liquid and electric power consumption of the machine.

Abstract: The substitution of the L-Pro at the 7-position of the peptide hormone bradykinin or other substituted analogs of 
bradykinin with an aliphatic, cyclic or aromatic amino acid of the D-configuration converts bradykinin agonists into a 
bradykinin antagonist. The invention further includes additional modifications at other positions within the novel 7-posi­
tion modified bradykinin antagonists including replacement of arginine in the one and nine positions and sequence dele­
tions analogs and C-terminal and N-terminal extensions, which increase enzyme resistance, antagonist potency and/or 
specificity of the new bradykinin antagonists. The analogs produced are useful in treating conditions and diseases of the 
mammal and human body in which an excess of bradykinin or related kinins are produced or injected as by bites into the 
body.

Abstract: A roller bottle is provided which incorporates a greatly increased cell-growth surface area, while at the same time being of simple construction which structure may be formed inexpensively by blow-­molding in large quantities using mass production techniques. The above is achieved by imparting to the body of the bottle a pleated or corrugated surface axially or longitudinally of the bottle. The resulting internal surfaces of the pleats provide an approximately 60 to 70 percent increase of active surface area of a conventional roller bottle for cell growth, without the need for any insertable devices or expensive assembly operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the chemically oxidative treatment of water containing toxic and/or non-biodegradable or not readily biodegradable substances, wherein - the water is acidified, - iron ions and hydrogen peroxide are added, - the water is neutralised after the oxidation of the substances and - the precipitated iron-containing sludge is separated off. It is the object of the invention to reduce the operating costs of the process and, in particular, to reduce the quantity of the iron- containing sludge and hence of special waste arising. According to the invention, the object is achieved when - the iron-containing sludge is separated off at a pH between 6 and 9 and - suspended in further water to be treated, - the pH in the suspension is simultaneously or afterwards adjusted to 2 to 5 and - hydrogen peroxide is added. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A diesel fuel injection nozzle comprises a nozzle body (1) having a central bore and a valve member (9) slidably supported therein in a first bore portion (12) extending from an end face (8) of the body (1). Fuel is delivered to an inlet (23) in the end face (8), and flows through a fuel supply passage (24) in the wall of the body (1) to a fuel gallery (13) adjacent to the first bore portion (12) and thence along a second bore portion (15) to fuel spray holes (22). The fuel flow to the spray holes (22) is controlled by the valve member (9) cooperating with a valve seat (18) in the central bore. Conventionally the fuel supply passage (24) is straight, entering the fuel gallery (13) obliquely and leaving only a thin web of material between the passage (24) and the gallery (13). High pressure fuel pulses are desired in modern engines, but cause fracture of this web. The invention therefore provides a curved fuel passage or passage section (26) to increase the thickness of the web (27) and so reduce the risk of its fracture at high fuel pressures.

Abstract: A copying machine control apparatus which includes a first control means (53) for actuating a first driving means (51a) which operates a photoconductive drum (10), a second control means (55) for actuating a second driving means (39) which operates a scanning means (3), and a third control means (54) for actuating a third driving means (52a) which operates a transfer drum (15). Each of first, second, and third control means has a position controller and a speed controller, respectively, operated by a common reference pulse train, in which the position controller generates a position control signal to indicate the turning position difference at any moment, and the speed controller generates a speed control signal which is composed of a frequency difference between the common reference pulse train and the pulse train outputted from respective pulse encoders, then this speed control signal is added to the position control signal to generate a driving signal which actuates each of first, second, and  third driving means (51a, 39, 52a), respectively. Thus, the first, second, and third driving means are harmoniously operated by the common reference pulse train. In the case there each of the first and third driving means in constructed by an outer-rotor type electric motor, each of the photoconductive and transfer drums is rotated by the outer rotor of the electric motor.
