Abstract: A plasma treatment system for treating a workpiece with a downstream-type plasma. The processing chamber of the plasma treatment system includes a chamber lid having a plasma cavity disposed generally between a powered electrode and a grounded plate, a processing space separated from the plasma cavity by the grounded plate, and a substrate support in the processing space for holding the workpiece. A direct plasma is generated in the plasma cavity. The grounded plate is adapted with openings that remove electrons and ions from the plasma admitted from the plasma cavity into the processing space to provide a downstream-type plasma of free radicals. The openings may also eliminate line-of-sight paths for light between the plasma cavity and processing space. In another aspect, the volume of the processing chamber may be adjusted by removing or inserting at least one removable sidewall section from the chamber lid.

Abstract: The machine, designed to make a tyre reinforcement from a filament (4) laid across a core (1) in a series of transverse arches, consists of a main arm (31) with a filament layer in the form of an eyelet (6), connected to a drive system by two auxiliary arms (32, 33). The main arm is connected to one of the auxiliary arms by an articulated joint, and to the other by a cam follower and slot (312), the slot being located in the end of the arm furthest from the filament layer. The drive system, which synchronises the movement of the auxiliary arms, allows them to be adjusted to different amplitudes, while pressers (2D, 2G) on opposite sides of the core press the ends of the filament arches against it.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter cartridge (1) which comprises a firmly fixed lid (10) and has a long service life. Said lid (10) is embodied in such a way that the bottom (11) of the lid extends towards the peripheral wall (3) of the cartridge container to join the lateral wall (16) of the lid, by means of an inwardly curved edge section (14), the curved edge section (14) and the lateral wall (16) in the form of a strip joining in the forming region to form an inwardly tapered common wall section (15). In this way, the region fixing the lateral wall (16) to the peripheral wall (3) is subjected only to a tensile load, minimizing the risk of shear fracture, and the inner pressure in the region of the common wall section (15) presses the wall section against the peripheral wall (3), thus exerting an additional sealing force.

Abstract: A process to manufacture conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)-containing materials including conjugated linoleic salts and acids that are enriched in desirable cis-9, trans-11- and trans-10, cis-12-CLA isomers and are low in certain undesirable isomers. The process generally entails isomerization of an alkyl ester of a linoleic acid-containing material, such as sunflower oil or safflower oil, to effectuate conjugation of the double bonds, followed by saponification of the resultant CLA-containing fatty acid ester to produce a CLA-containing fatty acid salt, optionally followed by neutralization of the CLA-containing fatty acid salt with an acid source to produce a CLA-containing fatty acid.
