Abstract: A water kettle is equipped with a handle, a first end of which is joined to lower regions of the side of the kettle by a hinge, and a second end of which is fitted on the diametrically opposite side with a spout lid for covering (and opening) the kettle's spout. When the kettle is in the rest position, as a result of its weight the handle will drop until the handle comes to stop on the spout and the spout lid covers the spout opening. When the kettle is lifted by the handle or tipped into the pouring position, the handle swings back to a stop in the spout and the associated spout lid is removed from the spout opening. Following this swiveling movement, the raised spout lid is brought into a position which deflects steam flowing out of the spout opening in such a way that a user's hand holding the handle is not directly exposed to the steam. The spout lid is provided with a device for emitting an acoustic signal when the boiling point is reached in the interior of the kettle. If desired, the water kettle may further include a second, larger filling and cleaning opening which is enclosed by a close-fitting lid to facilitate filling and cleaning of the interior of the kettle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing, by means of working, mixing and homogenizing, castable explosive substances of high viscosity containing crystalline and/or particulate explosives and, if appropriate, other action-enhancing additives and such small quantities of binder and other viscosity-reducing agents that the mixture in the unworked state virtually feels like and behaves like a dry powder. In order to achieve the desired working, mixing and homogenizing, the components are brought to the roll nip between two helically grooved rolls, which form part of a so-called mixing, sheaving and rolling mill. The rolls are arranged at an adjustable distance from each other and counter-rotating at different speeds. The mixture is worked on and between the rolls until the air between the particles included has been pressed out sufficiently to convert the previously pulverulent mixture to a coherent mass of high viscosity. The material is removed from the fastest rotating roll in continuous form or in a newly formed particulate form associated therewith.

Abstract: In order to detect the presence and make measuremnts of the dimensions of web which travels along a path, for example, film, such as X-ray film and equipment which develops such film, a linear array of light emitting devices (e.g. LEDs) is disposed opposite to an array of corresponding photodetectors to define a gap through which the web travels. The web is scanned by sequentially applying pulses of electrical power to the emitting devices. Output signals are provided from each photodetector representing the presence of the web. In order that the brightness is sufficient to detect the presence of low density (semi-opaque) webs and to maintain uniformity of brightness of illumination from emitter to emitter, the current to the emitters is computer controlled by means of a control system which responds to the signals from the photodetectors and increments or decrements the current from an initially preset level during selected scans, for example on scans which occur every 15 seconds. The preset level is sufficient so that the photodetectors detect a substantial reduction in illumination and provide corresponding output signals even when blocked by a semi-opaque film. The width of the web may be determined by counting the number of photodetectors producing these output signals during each scan and the web area passing through the detection arrays may be determined by counting output signals representing the detection of the web. In X-ray film development when a count is registered corresponding to a predetermined area of film, the developing chemicals are replenished.

Abstract: A development apparatus (10) includes a housing (14) having a portion defining a sump (S) adapted to contain a supply of developer material, and a magnetic brush (36) located substantially within the housing (14) in spaced relation to the sump portion (S) for applying developer material to the latent image. A feed mechanism (60) including a metering assembly (50) located within the housing (14) between the sump portion (S) and the magnetic brush (36) transports developer material from the sump (S) to the magnetic brush (36) and a mechanism (26) located in the sump portion (S) agitates developer material and transports developer material to the feed mechanism (60). A take-off skive (74) for stripping development material from the magnetic brush (36) after application to a latent image and directing such material to the sump portion (S) is mounted so that the skive (74) is self-adjustably supported between the metering assembly (50) and the magnetic brush (36). Further, developer material in the sump portion (5) is replenished by a device (70) which includes a reservoir (72) for replenishment material adjacent to the pump portion (S) a flow communication path (18a) between the reservoir (72) and the sump portion (S) and a selectively rotatable roller (90) located relative to the path to control flow of replenishment material through the path. The entrance to the path is configured to engage the roller (90) such that the set up latitude between the roller and path is increased. Measuring the level of replenishment material in the reservoir is facilitated by the material monitor (94) located in the bottom of the reservoir (72) immediately upstream of the flow communication path, the surface of the monitor (94) being periodically swept to assure accurate measurement of replenishment material level. Still further, a shield (44) is located upstream of the development zone between the housing and the image carrying member (12) for containing developer material within the development zone to substantially prevent escape of airborne particulate material from the apparatus (10).

Abstract: Capillary zone electrophoresis is enhanced by the application of an electric field across the interior of the capillary tube. This external electric field is applied through a conductive member at the exterior of the capillary tube. The external field vectorially couples with the internal field, controlling the polarity and the magnitude of the surface (zeta) potential on the interior surface of the capillary. The control of the surface (zeta) potential reduces adsorption of macromolecular onto the interior surface of the capillary tube, by inducing electrostatic repulsions between the macromolecules, and the capillary surface. Additionally, the control of the surface (zeta) potential can retard, and even reverse, electroosmotic flow, depending upon the magnitude of those fields.

Abstract: In the letterbox colour television system, additional data are transmitted with an appreciably reduced amplitude for reasons of compatibility, low frequency components having a relatively high amplitude. This results, however, in a reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio and disturbances in synchronization occur in known television receivers. The amplitude of the additional data can be increased without the disturbances in synchronization that occur in known television receivers if the additional data are transmitted in the form of a vestigial sideband modulation of the colour carrier. The frequency response of known IF filters can be exploited advantageously to form a Nyquist flank on the colour carrier. If the phase used is a constant V-phase of the colour carrier, any disturbances in the compatible reception are advantageously slight.
