Abstract: A nozzle to discharge liquid fertilizer, growth retardant, insect sprays, orchard spray material and the like in a lateral pattern in an efective manner so that a substantial equal quantity of liquid material is discharged in each increment of the path being transversed by the nozzle. In one embodiment a nozzle (10) is provided with a discharge passageway (34), a downwardly opening, inverted U-shaped extension (36) of the passageway (34) and a curved blade diffuser (56) in the inverted U-shaped extension (36) to break up the liquid flow into droplets. In another embodiment, an additive injector (92, 94, 96) is incorporated into the nozzle (80) which enables a controlled quantity of liquid material to be injected into the main flow of liquid being discharged with the diffuser (90) effectively serving as a mixer for the additive and the liquid discharged from the nozzle (80).

Abstract: This system (ATMS) comprises a plurality of interconnected nodes (NN1/NN4) to which server units (CLSD1/CLS3) and users (CLTE1/CLTE5, MAN1/2) are connected. Permanent virtual connections established between the server units constitute a virtual overlay network over which the users can communicate with each other in a connectionless way. The bandwidth reserved for communications on the permanent virtual connection is adapted dynamically according to the result of a comparison between the reserved bandwidth, as stored by counter means (CO1/CO4), and the used bandwidth, as measured by measurement modules (MC1/MC3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and a device for polymerizing alpha-olefins such as ethylene or propylene in a gas phase. The device comprises a gas phase polymerization reactor (5) into which a suspension of prepolymer particles in liquid saturated hydrocarbon(s) is continuously introduced. The prepolymer suspension is prepared in one or more prepolymerization vessels (14) and is continuouly passed to a post-treatment unit comprising a degassing means (10) wherein most of the dissolved unreacted olefinic monomer(s) is separated. Preferably, the post-treatment unit may comprise a particle separation means (11) for removing the finest and/or coarsest prepolymer particles from the suspension and/or a concentration means (11a) for concentrating the suspension. High activity catalyst can be used in the process with reduced amounts of prepolymer agglomerates. Prepolymer can be obtained with a constant quality and a desired size. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a paper pulp treating vessel (11,) such as a pulp thickener of diffuser, the screens (14) are backflushed by reciprocating an internal piston (46) utilizing an internally mounted hydraulic cylinder (69). The screens (14) are supported by conduit arms (16) having a central hub (17), and the hydraulic cylinder (69) is mounted directly on top of the hub, with the backflushing cylinder (42) mounted below the hub. Hydraulic lines lead from exteriorly of the vessel, and a sealing conduit (56) is mounted surrounding the hydraulic lines. The sealing conduit (56) extends to a point above the top of the vessel to act as an indicator if hydraulic fluid leaks in the vessel. A flexible bellows (80) is connected between the sealing conduit and the hydraulic cylinder to allow tilting action between the arms and the top of the vessel.

Abstract: An environmentally advantageous photographic bleaching solution for use in the color processing of photographic elements comprises (1) as a bleaching agent, a potassium salt of a ferric complex of an aminopolycarboxylic acid, (2) as an agent which functions to convert silver to silver halide, a potassium halide, and (3) as an agent which functions to inhibit bleach induced dye formation, a water-soluble aliphatic carboxylic acid. The bleaching solution is especially useful in the processing of photographic elements containing a low pKa, high-activity, yellow-dye-forming coupler in that it serves to effectively avoid the undesirable increase in blue Dmin that can occur in such elements as a result of bleach induced dye formation.

Abstract: A method is described for controlling the input current drawn by a switching power converter notwithstanding wide variations in load being supplied by the converter. The input current is controlled in response to a first signal. An input current control signal is generated based on comparing a second signal to a third signal. The second signal is independent of variations in the input current or the first signal. The third signal is dependent on variations in the input current and the first signal. The input current control signal is arranged to drive the value of the third signal towards the value of the second signal. The third signal is maintained and the magnitude essentially equal to the magnitude of the second signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tamper evident cap designed for threading onto a container by conventional bottle capping machinery. The cap includes a first set of spaced-apart lugs for engaging a second set of spaced-apart lugs of a container. The lugs of the cap and the lugs of the container neck are constructed to slide relative to each other upon threading of the cap onto the container while engaging each other to prevent unthreading of the cap from the container. The container neck is especially suited for glass bottles which must be blow molded. The cap includes a first skirt portion and a separable strip, and may include a second skirt portion that remains on the container neck after the separable strip has been removed. The gap between the skirt portions left by removing the separable strip indicates that the cap has been tampered with.

Il est souhaitable de dimensionner et de positionner stratégiquement l'application du matériau dur à la dent, afin d'augmenter sa durée de vie et de préserver simultanément son acuité, de façon que son effet de pénétration soit plus efficace. D'après l'invention, on applique une première partie de matériau dur (32), dont la largeur et la longueur sont prédéterminées, à une surface inférieure (22) d'une dent (10) et on applique une deuxième partie de matériau dur (34), dont la largeur prédéterminée est inférieure à la largeur de la première partie de matériau dur, à une surface supérieure (20) de la dent.

Le rapport de largeur entre la première et la deuxième parties de matériau dur (32, 34) et l'emplacement de la première et la deuxième parties de matériau dur (32, 34) augmentent la durée de vie de la dent (10) et conservent son acuité pendant sa durée d'utilisation, afin d'améliorer son effet de pénétration.

This will prevent accidentally pressurizing the flange (15) and pressure sensor body (11) until permanent fasteners have been installed. The body (11) and flange (15) are shipped with at least one extra set of permanent fasteners (46, 50) different in length from the fasteners (23) used on the flange (15) to permit adding adapters (47) for a process connection. When a different thickness adapter (47) is used for process connection, only the correct length fasteners will be capable of being threaded into the threaded openings and also seal the flange or adapter.
