Abstract: The method for investigating the viscoelastic behaviour of a material, especially of the elastomer or elastomeric mixture type, in which:   - a specimen of the said material is subjected to at least one compression or compression-maintaining phase (D, M); - data is recorded relating to the stresses to which the said specimen (E) is subjected and/or to the deformations of the said specimen during and/or after the said compression phase; - characteristic parameters of the said viscoelastic behaviour are calculated from these data; is characterised in that, during the said compression phase, the said specimen (E) is subjected to at least one constant-rate deformation (D, D1, D2). The apparatus especially enables this method to be implemented. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method for obtaining acetic acid derivatives, such as glycin, IDA and NTA by dehydrogenation of mono-, di- and triethanolamine, respectively, in the presence of a Copper-Raney catalyst. Such method includes a step consisting in regenerating the catalyst spent in order to reuse it in successive reaction cycles. The regeneration method is comprised of the treatment of the spent catalyst with backflowing formic acid, filtering and repulping it with demineralized water and NaOH till the washing waters reach a sligthly alkaline value. The regenerated catalyst may be reused in successvie reaction cycles maintaining an average efficency of 87 %, that is to say of the same order of magnitude as when using a new catalyst.

Abstract: A lead-acid battery is filled with electrolyte in two portions, the first of which consists of sulphuric acid free of gel formers and is proportioned in such a way that only the pores are filled of the active material in the electrodes and the separators, as far as the latter are able to retain the absorbed liquid by virtue of capillary activity, and the second portion is formed from a thixotropic SiO2/sulphuric acid mixture which fills the remaining electrolyte compartment. The state of the electrode plates employed, whether formed or unformed, determines the density of the sulphuric acid in both portions: in the case of formed plates it corresponds to the normal operating acid density of a charged battery, in the case of unformed plates an acid should be chosen which has been diluted to the extent that upon subsequent formation it attains the final acid density normal at that stage. Said formation can be a monobloc container formation.

Abstract: In addition to virions, herpesvirus-infected cells produce non-infectious particles, termed L-particles, which consist of tegument surrounded by envelope but lack the nucleocapsid. L-particles of a herpesvirus can be prepared substantially free of infectious virions, e.g. by allowing an appropriate temperature-sensitive mutant to replicate at its non-permissive temperature, and such L-particles are useful as a component of a vaccine against the herpesvirus. They can also be prepared to contain a foreign protein or peptide, by use of a recombinant herpesvirus.

Abstract: Dans les appareils de traitement photographique, des sous-produits sont générés par des réactions chimiques qui se produisent pendant le traitement de matériaux photographiques. Selon un procédé connu, on enlève certains de ces sous-produits en fonction de la surface de matériau photographique traitée et du niveau moyen connu de production de ces sous-produits. Avec ce procédé, il est difficile de maintenir avec exactitude un niveau fixe de ces sous-produits dans les solutions de traitement. La présente invention prévoit un procédé permettant de commander un sous-système qui enlève les sous-produits de solution de traitement en utilisant les données relatives à l'exposition à laquelle un matériau photographique a été soumis dans l'étage d'impression de l'appareil de traitement, pour calculer la quantité de sous-produits générée de façon que ceux-ci puissent être enlevés des solutions de traitement avec exactitude.

Abstract: A lampshade is manufactured from heat deformable sheet material by forming a blank (10) of the sheet material, in the shape of a sector of an annulus, into a hollow truncated cone (20) having upper and lower peripheral edges. The overlapping edges (12) of the blank are temporarily tacked together and the blank supported by an apparatus which engages the interior of the conical blank, which apparatus includes a former (22, 23) for engagement with the interior surface of the blank (20) adjacent the upper and lower peripheral edges thereof so that marginal edge portions of the blank project beyond the formers. Heating means (30, 60) heat the marginal edge portions and upper and lower die members (32, 58, 36, 61) engage the heated and softened marginal edge portions to fold or roll the deformable sheet material around the edge portions of the formers and thereafter hold the formed edge portions in place until the material has cooled. The edge portions of the formers have the form of rounded beads so that the edge portions of the material deformed therearound have the form of incompletely closed cavities or pockets. The workpiece (20) is removed from the apparatus after separating the temporary tack welds joining the ends (12) of the blank, the product removed from the apparatus, and a mounting bracket (14) having a peripheral ring (16) is fitted with the peripheral ring being pushed into the annular channel at the respective rolled-over edge of the shade, after which the straight edges (12) of the shade material are re-united by a permanent weld to complete the shade. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Rectilinear vertical reciprocating movement is transmitted to the needle-holder beam of a needling machine by a crank mechanism preferably comprised of two horizontal auxiliary connecting rods hinged to a support of the beam. The two auxiliary connecting rods are mounted to the two sides of the needle-holder beam and support. Each auxiliary rod includes an end hinged to a related main connecting rod, with the other end being joined to the structure of the machine by a sliding block and two conjugate profiles. One of the profiles is fixed and the other profile is mobile. The profiles form a rolling coupling, so that each sliding block that is hinged to the related ancillary connecting rod slides when the crank mechanism runs between two extreme axial positions. Simultaneously, each profile of the ancillary connecting rod rolls on the fixed conjugate profile to remain constantly in contact therewith, along lines that are always located on the horizontal plane in different vertical contact lines through the center of the main connecting rod small end.
