Abstract: An internal combustion engine for propelling a ship includes a flexible coupling (1) mounted between the thrust bearing of the engine and a shaft segment (3) connected with the propeller. An oblong rod (10) interconnects two hollow shaft segments (4, 5) of the coupling so that the axial thrust forces in the shaft system are transferred through the rod (10) whereas the torque of the engine is transferred by a flexible member (15). Neither the rod (10) nor the flexible member (15) can transfer the torsional vibrations generated by the engine. The flexible coupling allows the shaft system to have an approppriately large flexibility in spite of a short length.

Abstract: A wire, generally made of steel and used to make composite elements of elastomeric material, is submitted to an electrodeposition process in an electrolytic bath for being coated with a zinc/cobalt alloy in which the average cobalt content is lower than 1%. In the coating thickness made of the zinc/cobalt alloy, different cobalt concentrations exist, that is a 2% to 3% concentration at the area close to the metal and a concentration as low as 0,5% maximum at the overlying area. Adhesion promoters for example consisting of cobalt neodecanate, added to the elastomeric material, promote the adhesion of said elastomeric material to the wire.

The method comprises the use of a first matrix of cell-like structures in an arrangement typical of normal worker bee cells which have interconnected plugs placed in the back of the matrix. A queen bee may then lay this matrix of cells with eggs. Upon the eggs turning into larvae, the plugs may be removed and the plugs are provided in interconnected sets such that each set provides plugs for each alternate cell in the first matrix of cells. These plugs may then be fitted to a second matrix of cells which provide larger, queen-like cells at a spacing of substantially the same as the alternate cells in the first matrix. The second matrix may then be placed in a queenless hive for the bees to fill the larger cells of the second matrix with royal jelly which may then be harvested.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing crystalline microporous material suitable for manufacturing a variety of crystalline microporous material under mild reaction conditions and under safe working environmental conditions by using simple installation. The crystalline microporous materials obtained by the present invention may be used as adsorbent agent, catalyst or separating material. According to the characterizing features of the manufacturing method of the present invention, there are provided a method of using cation compound or amine as crystallizing modifier and using, in combination, raw material including canemite or silicon dioxide and a further method using raw material including silicon dioxide and aluminum salt. The method includes a step of mixing these components, a solid-liquid separating step for separating produced fine particles, and a crystallizing step for crystallizing the separated solid component. The invention achieves improvement in safety, economy and so on, in comparison with the coventionally practiced hydrothermal synthesis method which requires severe reaction conditions of high-temperature, high-pressure and strong alkaline. Further, the method allows freedom in adjustment of the pore diameter and allows a higher proportion of porous structure to be maitained in a product when the material is formed into a molded product.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for uniformly contacting an article with a treatment solution. Preferred embodiments are methods of uniformly tinting of contact lenses or uniformly surface modifying contact lenses. The method involves suspending the lens in the treatment solution by application of fluid flow, preferably sinusoidal or pulsed, in a direction opposite the stagnant force (i.e., sum of buoyancy and gravity forces) on the article. The fluid flow prevents the lens from contacting the container structure for periods sufficient to cause non-uniform treatment conditions, while continuously mixing the treatment solution to maintain uniform concentrations throughout.
