Abstract: A cast composite material is prepared by furnishing an aluminum-based matrix alloy and forming a mixture of free-flowing boron carbide particles and the aluminum-based matrix alloy in molten form which is stirred to wet the matrix alloy to the boron carbide particles and to distribute the particles throughout the volume of the melt. The molten mixture is then cast. The fluidity of the molten mixture is maintained by (a) maintaining the magnesium content of the matrix metal below about 0.2% by weight, or (b) starting with a matrix metal containing less than 0.2% by weight magnesium and adding further magnesium to the mixture a short time before casting, or (c) having at least 0.2% by weight titanium present in the mixture.

Abstract: The dispenser comprises a hollow body (14) in which a piston (20) can move and delimit a chamber for the product. An outlet channel (18) is defined in an end wall of the body. The piston has a hollow internally threaded skirt (30) and a knurled wheel (24) with an internal threaded cylindrical part is screwed into the skirt. The piston is rotationally locked in the body so that activating the knurled wheel causes the axial displacement of the piston and controlled dispensing of the product.  An Independent claim is included for a method of filling the dispenser.

Abstract: The invention concerns apparatus for molding thermoplastic tubing having solid annular ribs. The apparatus is of the type where a tubular mold is defined by cooperatively interengaged mold block of a pair of mold assemblies. An annular extrusion orifice for the tube extends into the mold tunnel and tubing is extruded about a mandrel. The invention provides an accumulator chamber in the region of the extrusion nozzle to provide for pressure differences which build up at that point. Thus, the effective volume of the accumulator chamber can compensate for the varying requirement for the thermoplastic material resulting from the varying radial wall thickness.

A conveyor bucket conveys sealed containers along the slot with lower portions of the sealed containers being inserted through the slot into the irradiator furnace. The irradiator furnace includes therein a rail which extends from the lowest level at an inlet of the irradiator furnace to the highest level at an outlet of the irradiator furnace so as to support the sealed containers. The hot air furnace is provided above the irradiator furnace. A narrow passage extending from the outlet of the irradiator furnace is directly followed by a thermostatic station utilizing an IR heater. So the sealed containers are sterilized. To feed the sealed containers to the conveyor bucket of the sterilizer, a sealed container feeding hopper comprising a conveyor belt, a screw and a feeding wheel is provided. A sensor is provided to detect whether individual turns of a screw groove are properly loaded with the sealed containers or not and auxiliary feeding guides operatively associated with the sensor to feed the sealed containers to the screw.

Abstract: A rolling or folding doorway shutter, for use e.g. in an industrial or commercial building, consists of vertical supports (1,2) on either side of the doorway, connected by a cross member (3) at the top. Each support contains a slider guide for the door shutter (4) which is roller or folded at the top. The shutter is reinforced by a number of horizontal bars (5) which have their ends moving in the sliders. At least one of the bars has a flexible section (e.g. spring-loaded and telescopic) which enables it to jump out of the slider in the event of an abnormal transverse effort being applied to it, without creating any permanent deformation in the bar which might ultimately affect the operation of the shutter. The bar's flexibility can be provided in the centre or at one or both ends, and the slider containing the flexible bar can have a branched track to allow for the replacement of the bar once it has been deformed.

A measuring cell (12) for a specific potential known as streaming potential of the kind disclosed in EP B1 0 079 726 is now provided with measuring electrodes (40, 42) of a metal which forms a reversible electrochemical reaction with pure water to oxidize the metal. The electrodes (40, 42) used in the measurement mode in the cell have a film comprising an oxide of the metal electrochemically formed thereover. Such electrodes are found to give more stable and consistent measurement than the stainless steel electrodes used previously. Silver, lead, copper and alloys such as lead and silver are preferred. The measuring electrodes (40, 42) are regenerated within the cell (12) through electrochemical reduction to bare metal, followed by oxidation to re-form the film. This is performed with the aid of auxiliary electrodes (60, 62) in the cell. A control system (50) for the measurement and regeneration mode is described. Excess excursions of the measurement mode voltage are monitored to indicate that the regeneration procedure is to be entered. The measuring electrode (42) in the cell compartment (22) in which the measurement pad is formed is provided with a shroud (13) to protect it during the flushing of the pad from the mesh (14) in the cell.

The width of the passive guide (102) decreases subsequently in a forward part (TC) of this section in order to couple the wide mode to an even wider circularised mode (NE).
