Patent EP-0315466-B1 (EP)
IPC: B05D1/28
Filed: 1988-11-04
Granted: 1992-12-30
Abstract: A flexible laminate, such as backed tufted carpeting, is formed by bonding a fabric or polymeric backing layer to a pre-coated textile substrate. The substrate is pre-coated by advancing it past a perforated hollow transfer roller (3) containing an internal doctor member (4). Fluent settable coating material is fed to the substrate (1) so that it forms a well (6) between the substrate (1) and the doctor member (4) through the perforations of the roller (3). Coating material is deposited on the fabric (1) and is then set, for example by passing through an oven, to form the pre-coat. The spacing of the roller (3) and the substrate (1) and the pressure of the doctor member (4) on the perforated wall of the roller (3) are adjusted so that a pre-coate of desired thickness of density is obtained.

Title: Removable printing unit for offset-printing presses
IPC: B41F7/08
Filed: 1988-07-25
Granted: 1993-04-07
Abstract: A detachable printing unit for offset printing presses, which can be incorporated during their manufacture or fitted to existing presses, said unit being defined in that it is composed of an independent inking module 16 (FIG. 3) comprising all the components required for effecting in chronological operating order the moistening and inking of an offset plate ready for printing on a blanket, and a likewise independent detachable blanket cylinder 7C. One embodiment of the invention is defined in that the numbering device with which the press is equipped (FIG. 6, View B) is replaced by the blanket cylinder (FIG. 7, View B) of the printing unit working with the inking module 16 (FIG. 3), and use is made of the drive mechanism 8 (FIG. 6) and pressure adjustment mechanism 9B provided in the press to obtain for each printing cycle, instead of the numbering, an additional color obtained by color superimposition with the aid of the pressure cylinder 4. In the other form of the invention the same inking module, disposed in another position in the press, works conjointly with the blanket cylinder 3 of the press to enable for each printing cycle an additional color and optionally letterpress numbering or an additional letterpress color to be achieved.

Title: Process for soldering big-sized articles of silicon infiltrated silicon carbide using electric resistant heating and apparatus for carrying out the process
IPC: F28F21/04
Filed: 1989-01-23
Granted: 1992-05-13
Abstract: For soldering SiSiC components, whose dimensions do not permit them to be accommodated in feasible soldering ovens of conventional type, it is proposed to provide the required protected gas atmosphere only locally by means of tightly sealing shells (3) to be arranged around the joining area (6), and to carry out the heating also only locally in such a way that heat fluxes, which ensure the locally limited heating to the soldering temperature, are induced in the workpieces by induction coils (2) arranged side by side. This electric resistance heating can also be effected by introducing current surges into the workpieces (1, 4) by the discharge of capacitors (9). <IMAGE>

Granted: 1994-06-01
Abstract: Oxydiphthalic anhydrides of the formula <CHEM> are prepared by reacting a halophthalic anhydride with potassium carbonate in:   (1) a solvent-free reaction medium wherein the molar ratio of halophthalic anhydride:potassium carbonate is greater than 2:1; or (2) a high boiling solvent which improves the mixing of the components, and aids in subsequent purification of the product. The molar ratio of halophthalic anhydride to potassium carbonate is about 1.5:1 or greater. The oxydiphthalic anhydride can be purified by filtering or centrifuging a hot solution of the oxydiphthalic anhydride in a high boiling solvent to remove impurities, followed by cooling the solution to precipitate the oxydiphthalic anhydride, which can be removed from the solution by filtration or centrifuging.

Title: Filter centrifuge for the separation of suspensions
IPC: B04B15/08
Filed: 1989-05-05
Granted: 1993-09-15
Abstract: Filter centrifuges for the separation of suspensions, the drum of which has a corotating syphon device according to DPS 22 60 461, have the disadvantage that the filtration-accelerating action of the syphon device is destroyed by gas intrusions into the collecting space under the filter medium. Until now, this gas could only be expelled after each charge by backwashing through the filter medium once the solid had been removed. 
<??>The object consists in providing an outlet which permits the expulsion during filtration of gases which have penetrated the syphon space. 
<??>This object is achieved by means of a non-return valve (18) radially arranged within the syphon device, preferably on the drum floor and connected to the collecting space (11) or by an additional syphon device (17, 19, 20, 21) acting as non-return valve. 
<??>This device can be used on discontinuously operating filter centrifuges with rotation syphoning according to DPS 22 60 461, the housing inner space of which is at ambient pressure or is fed with compressed gas for the purpose of further accelerating the filtration.

Abstract: A novel process for purifying crude 1,2-bis(nicotinamido)propane obtained by the reaction of nicotinic acid with 1,2-propanediamine. This process comprises forming 1,2-bis(nicotinamido)propane dinitrate from the crude 1,2-bis(nicotinamido)propane, suspending the dinitrate in an organic solvent, adding an alkali or an alkaline solution to the suspension to dissociate the free 1,2-bis(nicotinamido)propane, extracting it from the suspension with a solvent, and removing the solvent to isolate the purified product. According to this process, crude 1,2-bis(nicotinamido)propane can be efficiently purified to give the product having a high purity.

Abstract: The functions of two virtual opening systems (e.g. S/370 VM, VSE or IX370 and S/88 OS) are merged into one physical system. Partner pairs of S/88 processors run the S/88 OS and handle the fault tolerant and single system image aspects of the system. One or more partner pairs of S/370 processors are coupled to corresponding S/88 processors directly and through the S/88 bus. Each S/370 processor is allocated form 1 to 16 megabytes of contiguous storage from the S/88 main storage. Each S/370 virtual operating system thinks its memory allocation starts at address 0, and it manages its memory through normal S/370 dynamic memory allocation and paging techniques. The S/370 is limit checked to prevent the S/370 from accessing S/88 memory space. The S/88 Operating System is the master over all system hardware and I/O devices. The S/88 processors across the S/370 address space in direct response to a S/88 application program so that the S/88 may move I/O data into the S/370 I/O buffers and process the S/370 I/O operations. The S/88 and S/370 peer processor pairs to execute their respective Operating Systems in a single system environment without significant rewriting of either operating system. Neither operating system is aware of the other operating system nor the other processor pairs.
