Abstract: A cylindrical shaft has a plurality of radially disposed slots extending
longitudinally thereof and opening at the outer surface of the shaft. A radially movable
mechanism is disposed within each of the slots. Each mechanism is moved outwardly
by an expandable tube. One of the slots opens at a side face of the shaft to provide a
side opening through which a track can be inserted into and removed from the slot.
Springs bias the track radially inwardly. The track includes an open end through which
a support can be inserted into and removed from the track. A two piece retainer retains
the track and support in operative position. A plurality of core stops are carried by the
support and can be either adjustable longitudinally of the support or fixed to the
support. The core stops engage side edges of tubular supports disposed around the
shaft for spacing the tubular supports for a winding operation. One support with a
particular spacing of core stops can be replaced by another support with a different
spacing of core stops very quickly to minimize downtime of the shaft. In a modification,
the support is of less length than the associated slot, and an adjusting lug is movably
supported at opposite ends of the support. Screws are provided for locking the
adjusting tugs and the support in adjusted position

Abstract: To freely adjust the angle of the light incident on a workpiece in a light irradiation part for oblique
irradiation of the workpiece with light without needing to move a large light irradiation part, on the
exit side of a collimation lens or a collimation mirror, in a light irradiation part, there is a flat mirror
which is moved in the direction in which the length of the optical path of the irradiation light is
changed, such that its angle is changed with respect to the optical axis, and at the same time, the
center of an area to be irradiated by reflection of the flat mirror essentially does not move. Thus, the
angle of the light incident in the workpiece can be changed. Furthermore, by changing the angle of
the collimation mirror with reference to the optical axis and by moving the collimation mirror in the
direction in which the length of the optical path of the irradiation light is changed, the angle of the
light incident in the workpiece can be changed without using a flat mirror.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new means
for the treatment of focal ischemic cerebral infarction
(ischemic stroke). It has been found that reduction of α 2 -antiplasmin
leads to a significantly smaller focal
cerebral infarct size. The invention therefore provides
the use of compounds that reduce α 2 -antiplasmin
concentration or activity  in vivo , for the preparation of
a therapeutical composition for the treatment of focal
cerebral ischemic infarction (ischemic stroke).

Abstract: The machine tool head positioning corrector (D) corrects the position of a body (100) of an electro-terminal with respect to its support (200). It has a pressure and positioning surface (110) contacting with a similar surface (210) on the support (200). It has two adjusting washers (310,320) which are inserted, between the pressure surfaces of the terminal (100) and its support (200), and are in constant contact on an inclined plane. The corrector (D) corrects the position of a body (100) of an electro-terminal with respect to its support (200). The device has a pressure and positioning surface (110) coming into contact with a similar surface (210) on the support (200). The device uses two adjusting washers (310,320) which are inserted, between the pressure surfaces of the terminal (100) and its support (200), and are in constant contact on an inclined plane defined by their interior surface. The rotation of one washer with respect to the other allows displacement of the electro-terminal body (100) with respect to its support (200) so as to correct the positioning fault and/or the axis of the tool carried by the electro-terminal (100) with respect to the lateral displacement plane of the latter so as to ensure its verticality.

Abstract: For the production of paper pulp, the wood sections (1) are cut into chips, to be mixed with an impregnation liquid (11). The mixture (10) is refined, to reduce the wood (1) into fibers. The impregnation is completed in a holding tank (4a,4b). Any metal parts in the wood material are removed by magnets. The wood chips are fed to the mixing tank (2) with the impregnation liquid (11). The final impregnation is effected in at least two holding tanks (4a,4b), charged alternately. The refined mixture (12) is directed to one or other of the two holding tanks (4a,4b) through the orientation of an intermediate tank (16). At the end of the impregnation, the liquid phase (14) is decanted for separation from the fiber phase (13) and separate the residual foreign matter. The fiber material (13) is dried, and the recovered liquid is recirculated for further use in impregnation. An Independent claim is included for a pulp production assembly with a tank (2) to mix the wood (1) with an impregnating liquid (11). At least one chopper (5) reduces the wood (1) to chips, upstream of the mixing tank (2). A refiner (3) takes the mixture (10), to convert the wood content into fibers. At least one holding tank (4a,4b) takes the refined mixture (12) for final impregnation. Preferred Features: At least one magnet unit (6) is upstream of the mixing tank (2), to remove foreign ferrous metal matter. At least one conveyor belt (7) carries the wood (1) to the mixing tank (2). At least two holding tanks (4a,4b) take the refined mixture (12), fed alternately through the orientation of an intermediate tank (16). A tank (17), to decant the mixture, is downstream of the holding tanks (4a,4b) to separate the fiber (13) and liquid (14) phases and the residual foreign bodies. The mixture (12) is carried between the different tanks by pumps (18) and channels (19), without valves or a risk of broaching the channels (19). The base of the decanting tank (17) carries a pump (20) to extract the liquid phase (14) and the residual decanted foreign bodies. The fiber phase (13) from the decanting tank (17) is pumped towards a dryer (22), to give dehydrated fibers (15) and recover liquid for return to the impregnation stages. The tanks (2,4a,4b,16,17) have internal continuous or intermitted mixers (23) to stir their contents.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a reliable and inexpensive combination of a chamber and a piston to be used in any device where such a combination is needed so that it complies with specific demands towards the operation force for e.g. pumps, specifically manually operated pumps. By a device comprising a chamber and a piston positioned inside the chamber said chamber and said piston relatively movable to each other in a predetermined direction of movement between a first position and a second position of which the cross-section of the chamber in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement is larger at the first position than at the second position, the change in the cross section of the chamber is essentially continuous between the first position and the second position and the cross-section of the piston in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement is arranged to adapt itself to the cross-section of the chamber. It is further possible that the piston has a fixed geometrical shape, that the wall of the chamber has different sizes of cross-sections in the direction of the movement and is arranged to adapt itself to the piston. Moreover, both the piston and the wall of the chamber can adapt itself to each other.

Abstract: Loudspeakers and other transducers of the dual-voice-coil/dual-magnetic-gap type can be improved by the addition of one or more annular shorting rings (16A-16S) strategically located in the vicinity of the two magnetic gaps. The shorting rings have no effect on a steady state magnetic field but act in opposition to any change in flux density or any displacement of the flux lines such as those that occur under the loading imposed when the voice coils (10A, 10B) are driven hard with audio frequency current. Thus a plurality of rings can be strategically deployed at different locations so as to optimally suppress both even and odd order harmonic distortion and to reduce the voice coil inductance.
