Title: Torsionally resilient hydraulically damped coupling
Inventor: HAMAEKERS ARNO
IPC: F16F13/08
Filed: 1982-10-25
Abstract: Two hubs (3) for securing to respective shafts are provided with drivers (5) embraced by a rubber element (8) present between the hubs (3), this element having chambers (21) filled with damping fluid. The respective chambers (21) on the two sides of a driver (5) are connected together through a throttle opening (7). In order to achieve accurately defined chamber relationships and as large as possible a specific displacement volume determining the damping, whilst maintaining simple manufacture and assembly, the rubber element is made of two disc-shaped components (8) vulcanised to the drivers (5) of the respective hubs (3) to the drivers (5) projecting axially beyond the rubber component (8) with about half their length. Between the drivers (5) the rubber components (8) have blind holes reinforced with sheet (12), which receive the driers (5) of the other hub (3). The chambers (21) are formed by blind recesses (14) between the drivers (5) and the blind holes. After insertion, the drivers (5) are connected to the sheet metal reinforcement (12) of the blind holes, deforming and sealing the two rubber components. List of references     1. Coupling half   2.

Title: Producing alkali and alkaline earth metals from their halides
Inventor: NOWAK RUDOLF
IPC: C22B26/20
Filed: 1983-09-14
Abstract: Halides of alkali and alkaline earth metals ("metals") are reduced with gallium, indium or thallium ("reducing metals") at temperatures below their boiling points at vapour pressures at which the gaseous monohalides of the reducing metals are formed. The quantity of the reducing metals is chosen such that it is sufficient both for the reduction of the metal halides and for the simultaneous solution of the metals formed, e.g.:  MgCl2(s)+2Ga(l) = Mg(l)+2GaCl(g); 900 DEG K, 0.02 torr. The metal is distilled off from the melt formed and is condensed; the metal-free reducing metal is recycled for the reduction of the metal halide. The reducing metal is recovered from the monohalide for re-utilisation in the halide reduction; this is effected by reduction of its oxide which is formed either by oxidation of the monohalide, or by oxidation of the trihalide resulting in the disproportionation of the monohalide in addition to elemental reducing metal.
