Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for deminishing the over pressure that may occur in the oil housing if a seal leaks in a sumbersible machine such as a pump or a mixer. 
     A non-return valve (2) is arranged in the wall (1) of the oil housing and has its inlet (3) near the bottom of the oil housing and its outlet (4) outside the wall (1). Incoming water is heavier than the oil and thus assembles at the bottom. By arranging the inlet (3) and adjusting the opening pressure of the valve it is secured that only water will be diverted through the valve.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU90/00588 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 2, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 2, 1992 PCT Filed Dec. 11, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/02100 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 21, 1991.Al base - Si hypereutetic alloys can exhibit problems of variable and unwanted microstructure throughout the section of the article being cast. This problem is overcome by controlled cooling of the mold in critical areas, to remove or prevent excessive accumulation of heat energy and avoid the formation of intense convection currents in still molten alloy. Consequently, the necessary coupled growth of the Al-Si eutectic is promoted and the resultant microstructure is substantially free of primary Si. The 3HA and modified 3HA alloys of the applicant are considered on the basis of their wear resistance and improved machineability for automotive applications, such as engine blocks and cylinder heads. A first feature of the controlled cooling procedure is supply of coolant to regions in the mold, above and extending from the gate, such that solidification progresses uniformly from the remote regions of the mold spaces towards the gate to give a substantially uniform microstructure throughout the casting. Various coolants may be used, so that temperature in the vicinity of the gate is 50 DEG -75 DEG  C. above those at the extremities. A second feature of the controlled cooling procedure consists of supplying melt to the mold cavity through a plurality of gates, spaced relative to one another in the critical control region of the mold. The result of using such a plurality of gates, is that the energy accumulated is more widely distributed in a plurality of critical control regions, in order to achieve the necessary temperatures at the remote and gate regions and temperature differentials between these.

Abstract: Severing a shirred stick of sausage casing from casing feed stock joined to the stick is accomplished by perforating a section of the casing across its flat width prior to moving the section through a shirring zone (14). The section is then moved to a shirring zone where longitudinal movement of the casing is restrained to put the casing in tension across the line of perforations (50). The resulting tension tears the casing apart along the line of perforations. In one embodiment the shirring rolls (120) are operable to incorporate a torn end of the casing into the shirred stick by gathering the torn end up into a pleat at the last-shirred end of the stick.
