Abstract: The method for processing of potatoes is characterized by the fact that the method is carried out in a potato processing plant, which comprises an oil separator, heating equipment and at least one enzyme reactor and which is modified in such a manner that it can also be used for processing of rape. It is not obvious that such modification is sufficiently small for achieving an economically sound method for processing of rape outside the potato season.

Abstract: In a process of making an absorbent article (351) such as a sanitary napkin or a disposable diaper, hydrophilic fibers and crimped or coiled synthetic fibers are supplied in a single fiberboard to a defiberising means such as a hammermill (322). The process results in a homogeneous and resilient blended absorbent core that can be produced using a single defiberising unit. The crimped or coiled fibers pass through the defiberising means without their two- or three-dimensional structure being adversely affected at a relatively low defiberisation energy.

Abstract: The crossing apparatus includes four armed crossing unit comprising an intersecting pair of current conducting members, and an elongated insulator attached to each of the arms and each of the wires. A conducting strip attached to each of the insulators is positioned to communicate with the current collector on passage of the vehicle and is of a length sufficient to allow successive simultaneous contact first by the collector with the wires and the conducting strips and then with the conducting strips and the crossing unit. Each of the conducting strips are electrically connected to the crossing unit. A polarity change switch device selectively provides electrical power of positive or negative polarity to the crossing unit. A contactor strip is positioned in close proximity to each of the crossing unit arms. The contactor strips are connected to the switch device and adapted to communicate with the current collector on passage of the vehicle to place the crossing unit in a condition of appropriate polarity. A diode is interposed between each of the conducting strips and the crossing unit to prevent transfer of power of opposite polarity to the conducting strips.

Abstract: Processes for the removal of fluid adhering to surfaces of objects to be treated by means of compressed-air jets emerging from orifices in air-jet devices and directed onto the objects to be treated are known. Processes of this type are used, for example, for removing electroplating fluid adhering to surfaces. The disadvantage of the known processes is that stainless drying is impossible or is possible only at a considerable outlay in terms of apparatus. A process and an arrangement, in which, for stainless drying, air-jet devices, from which the compressed-air jets emerge, are set in oscillating movement in at least one plane, are therefore described. As a result, the fluid on the surface of the object to be treated is essentially atomised and consequently removed rapidly from this. The remaining surface moisture can evaporate. Heated compressed air is used to assist the evaporation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A toothbrush having a block head with bristles embedded in tuft holes by flat bars, a block handle for holding said toothbrush, and an elongated neck portion connecting said block head with said block handle, wherein said block head is at least 3 mm but at most 4 mm in thickness, the length from the bottoms of said tuft holes to a reverse surface of said block head is at least 0.2 mm but at most 2.2 mm, said tuft holes are 1.8 mm or more in depth and said toothbrush is formed of a polyacetal resin. Since a polyacetal resin is used as a material of a handle, a block head of a toothbrush is not broken or cracked even if a thickness of the block head is decreased. Resiliency of the material has made the use of the toothbrush in the mouth more convenient, provided good handleability in brushing, and improved the effect of cleaning the mouth. Owing to high mechanical strength, the handle is hardly broken or destroyed, and safety is secured. Owing to excellent chemical resistance, the material is not deteriorated by a flavor in a dentifrice or the like. Moreover, heat sterilization is possible, which is hygienically desirable. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cutout (11) is made in a web (7) from above, a locking element (12) being inserted into said cutout. The cutout (11) connects an upper outer side of the web (7) to a transverse bore (9) in an arm (14) of the web (7). In the assembled state, the web (7) is inserted into a cutout (10) of the cylinder pocket (4) and connected by a transverse pin (6). In order to secure the transverse pin (6) against longitudinal displacement in the cylinder pocket (4), said transverse pin (6) exhibits an encircling groove (14) into which the locking element (12) engages from above. In order to exchange the web (7), the rotary cylinder (1) is rotated about its longitudinal axis such that the cylinder pocket (4) is at the top. Upon rotation, the locking element (12) moves downwards due to its gravitational force and releases the transverse pin (6). The rotary cylinder (1) according to the invention can be lengthened or shortened on site, without reducing the security, by exchanging the web (7). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An interference avoidance system used in conjunction with a vehicular target detection system. The microwave transceiver section of the vehicular target detection system, in which the present invention is incorporated, transmits and receives time-multiplexed microwave signals having at least two channels (frequencies) spaced about 250 kHz apart. The time-multiplexed transmit signal is transmitted and strikes objects (targets) in the environment, and a portion of the transmit signal is reflected back the antenna. A difference signal having a frequency equal to the difference between the frequency of the transmit and the received signal is generated, digitized, and a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is performed on the digitized difference signal. A microcontroller analyzes the energy spectrum to determine whether there is interference present. If such interference is present, the microcontroller causes the transmit frequency to change until a frequency is found which is relatively free of the interference.

Le débitmètre décrit est muni d'éléments conçus pour, normalement, inhiber le débit respiratoire dans ledit débitmètre, lesdits éléments étant actionnés lorsqu'une pression prédéterminée est atteinte, permettant ainsi l'écoulement. Un clapet (5) maintenu fermé par un verrou électromagnétique (6) ou mécanique/magnétique et s'ouvrant à la pression déterminée est prévu. Un capteur de débit (2) tel qu'un anémomètre à fil chaud mesure le débit qui est affiché et/ou stocké par le dispositif (8). On peut déterminer la résistance au passage d'air dans les voies aériennes à partir du débit expiratoire de pointe. On peut également déterminer d'autres caractéristiques pulmonaires à partir de la forme de la zone décroissante (10) de la courbe de débit expiratoire. Le débitmètre selon l'invention trouve des applications cliniques dans le contrôle et le diagnostic de l'asthme et d'autres maladies pulmonaires.

Abstract: An improved air drying process for a paper machine is disclosed whereby air is impinged directly onto a paper web between top and bottom dryers on an open paper draw. This provides additional drying and machine speed increase due to improved controlling of sheet flutter and improved drying via direct air impingement onto the sheet for all paper grades. The structure provides a radial jet reattachment nozzle to blow air onto the sheet while the paper web is not in contact with either cylinder surface and the fabric or felt. The nozzle stabilizes and supports the sheet to prevent sheet flutter and bulging.

Abstract: An automatic pistol for repetitively firing blank ammunition includes a frame, a barrel unit including a barrel chamber portion and a barrel element extending from the barrel chamber portion, and a slide mounted on the frame and reciprocally longitudinally moveable relative to the frame between a forward battery position where the pistol is capable of firing and a rearward position where a spent blank cartridge is ejected. The slide is initially freely moveable relative to the barrel unit to an engaging position of the slide displaced from the forward battery position. At the engaging position, the slide engaes an abutment surface of the barrel unit thereby moving the barrel unit to a position where the barrel chamber portion receives a blank cartridge. A mechanism, e.g., a restrictor element, may be provided for generating sufficient back pressure in the barrel unit upon firing of a blank cartridge to move the slide to the rearward position.
