Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for constructing a closely slatted floor consisting of lamellar structures (1, 7), positively connected to each other, for receiving bulk material for the combustion, cooling or other processing thereof, especially for the cooling of burnt bulk material, by means of a gas flowing between the lamellar structures (1,7). A slatted floor (6) is made up by joining together said structures (1, 7). Said floor consists of small heat-resistant lamellar structures (1, 7) with sufficient thermal expansion joints, presents preferably a positive connection limited to a certain degree of freedom and can be used for different grids.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant de réaliser un test de durée de vie via un système de réseau par câble, qui minimise l'utilisation de largeur de bande par la procédure de test tout en permettant d'augmenter le nombre de dispositifs (93) que le système de gestion d'éléments (EMS) peut prendre en charge. Selon ce système et ce procédé, l'EMS obtient des informations d'état de dispositif en provenance du CMTS (97). Comme le CMTS mesure constamment sa population de dispositifs en vue d'obtenir des informations d'état et comme ces informations sont stockées dans la base d'informations de gestion de radiofréquence DOCSIS (91), l'EMS peut obtenir des informations d'état de dispositif en allant dans la base d'information de gestion au lieu d'aller directement au dispositif. Cette technique utilise le processus réparti inhérent à ce système en tirant profit de la mesure qui a déjà été réalisée par le CMTS. Comme l'EMS n'a pas à interagir avec chaque dispositif du système lorsqu'il effectue le test de durée de vie, la consommation de largeur de bande et les ressources de traitement sont minimisées.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising rigid-rod polymers and carbon nanotubes. The compositions comprise dispersed carbon nanotubes aligned with rigid-rod polymers. The alignment of the nanotubes and polymers can be liquid crystalline. The rigid-rod polymers of this invention include, but are not limited to, polymers and copolymers comprising benzobisazole, pyridobisimidazole and benzamidazobenzo-phenanthroline repeat units. Dispersion of carbon nanotubes is achieved by in-situ polymerization in the presence of the carbon nanotubes, which may be either single-wall or multi-wall or a combination of both. The polymer compositions comprising carbon nanotubes may be spun into fibers or formed into films. The strength of the resulting fibers of the present invention is significantly greater than that of fibers without carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: A bulk material is compacted from its bulk state into a rectangular
parallelepiped so that it can readily be wrapped with stretch film. To this
end, a stretch film is wrapped spirally around a cylindrical skirt section
having an open end while the stretch film is being moved towards the open
end of the skirt section, thereby forming a cylinder of such stretch film;
while the cylinder of wrapped film is being moved further, a pressed load
material is pushed out of the skirt section to push the pressed load material
into the cylinder of wrapped film fed past the open end of the skirt section;
and the wrapped cylindrical film is severed at positions spaced from
opposite ends of the load material covered therewith or is sealed at these
opposite ends.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a branch pipe. In order for the dependable production of a branch pipe with virtually any desired design of the branch to be made possible in a simple way it is proposed that an elongate, straight main curvature and at least two lateral curvatures, respectively branching off from a longitudinal side of the main curvature, lying opposite each other with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the main curvature extending in the material of the blank and having a mirror-symmetrically arranged base line are formed from a blank by deep-drawing. After the forming operations, the blank is trimmed in such a way that a vessel-like shell part, which is open in the longitudinal direction, is formed from the main curvature, and half-sleeves, which adjoin the shell part, lie in the same plane as the shell part and are open in the direction of their extent, are formed from the lateral curvatures, and that sheet metal strips serving as joining flanges extend along the outside of the lateral edges of the shell part and the half-sleeves. Subsequently, the shell part is bent about a spatial axis parallel to the central longitudinal axis until the joining flanges corresponding to one another on both sides of the shell part lie against one another, and, after that, the joining flanges are connected to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a walking aid, also called a rollator, comprising a pivotal front frame and serving as a walking aid for older or handicapped people. When using a prior art walking aid to overcome an obstacle, e.g. a curb, it is necessary to lift the walking aid and carry it over the obstacle. The aim of the invention is to provide a walking aid that makes it easier to overcome obstacles while providing assistance. To this end, the invention provides a walking aid comprising a pivotal front frame. When the front wheels (6) of the walking aid are brought against an obstacle (5), the front wheels (6) block and the front frame (3) inwardly pivots in the pivot (9) counter to the direction of walking and toward the rear frame (4) while compressing one or more spring elements (10). The energy stored in the spring elements acts in the opposite direction to the inward pivoting and presses the front frame (3) back in the direction of walking when the walking aid is pulled back using the handle (2) thereby releasing the front wheels over the obstacle. The invention is suited for walking aids.
