The closure member is supported on linking elements which are mounted on the closure member. The linking elements are arranged so as to rotate when the closure is moved between the open and closed position. The angle between a line, passing between the pivot points of the linking element, and the general plane of the closure member increases when the closure member moves to the open position.

Abstract: Small diameter particles of biologically active molecules are produced by atomizing solutions of the molecules through a nozzle into very cold liquified gases, which immediately freeze the atomized droplets. The resulting frozen particles having diameters of approximately 10 to 90 micrometers are lyophilized to produce porous particles, suspended in a non-solvent for the molecules, and exposed to ultrasonic energy or homogenization to produce particles having diameters of 0.1 to 10 micrometers with greater than 70 to 95% of the initial biological activity of the molecules in solution.

Abstract: Three-piece metallic jointing elements for plastic pipes or plastic lines are known, in which the pipe is plugged onto a supporting sleeve of the jointing element and is secured with a clamping nut. The known jointing elements consist of metal and are hence expensive and not always resistant to the chemically corrosive nature of the water passing through. On the other hand, if such jointing elements consist exclusively of plastic they do not always provide the necessary sealing. It is intended to create a jointing element for plastic pipes which is cost-effective, sealed and chemically resistant. The invention proposes a jointing element (4, 4a) for pipes (3), in which the pipe (3), which has a plastic surface, is twisted into a sleeve-shaped section (8) with an internal thread (9), the thread (9) pressing or cutting into the plastic surface of the pipe (3) and hence producing a seal between the jointing element (4, 4a) and the pipe (3). <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a conching device (1) at least one rotor (2, or 3, respectively) is driven by an electric motor (9). The driving motor (9) is controlled by means of a motor control unit (8). To establish the amount of energy introduced into the conching device (1), at least one motor-operation parameter is detected and evaluated. To shorten the conching time of a conching process to the necessary extent, it is provided to establish the amount of energy introduced into the conching device at least during the viscous-plastic phase of the chocolate mass and to control the conching process in dependency upon the summation value of energy attained. Since the amount of energy introduced during the viscous-plastic phase determines the properties and the quality of the chocolate, a high reproducibility will be ensured.

Abstract: The aqueous alkali chloride solution is coarsely purified first. In the succeeding fine purifier the solution, which contains calcium ions, magnesium ions and undissolved magnesium compounds, is passed through a plurality of purification stages (ion exchange stages), which contain cation exchange granulate. In the fine purifier the solution having a pH value of about 10 to 11 is passed through a first ion exchange stage and the solution coming from the first ion exchange is acidified to decrease its pH value by at least 0.5. The solution is subsequently passed through at least one second ion exchange stage and a solution which is virtually free of undissolved magnesium compounds is withdrawn from the fine purification means. The acidified solution fed to the second ion exchange stage has preferably a pH value of 5 to 10.

Abstract: In a process for manufacturing prefabricated seamless skirting board corner pieces (10, 11), an essentially plane, plate-shaped thermoplastic blank with a surface equal to at least 1 or 2 times the surface of the finished skirting board corner piece (10, 11) is heated until it is thermoplastically deformable and deformed until it assumes the three-dimensional shape of the skirting board corner piece (10, 11). The deformed blank is then cooled without its shape being changed. The cooled blank is cut along the edges (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) of the skirting board corner piece (10, 11). The process is particularly suitable for non-directional skirting board corner pieces (10, 11) whose design corresponds exactly to that of the adjacent floor covering and of the skirting board.

Abstract: In the operation of large vertical synchronous machines, considerable radial and tangential forces occur. A new simple type of attachment between the stator laminate stack and the stator housing is intended to ensure, on the one hand, the radial mobility between the two and, on the other hand, the necessary rigidity of the structure. According to the invention, sliding rings (4) in welded-on guide rings (5) are arranged between the pressed segments (2, 3) and the stator intermediate walls (14), securing taking place by means of attachment screws (8) via sliding washers (9). In consequence, the radial mobility is ensured. In order to dissipate the corresponding tangential forces, broad, lateral, parallel guide surfaces (11) and a defined expansion joint (12) are arranged on the dovetail-shaped guide rails (10). This arrangement leads to a simple structure and reliably prevents deformation of the laminate stack with the maximum temperature difference between the stator laminate stack (1) and the machine housing. This type of attachment is suitable, in particular, for large hydroelectric generators. <IMAGE>
