Abstract: An extrudable polyvinyl alcohol composition useful for packaging and molding applications is prepared by melt blending polyvinyl alcohol and thermoplastic modified starch to provide a product which has reduced water sensitivity, improved modulus and reduced elongation at high relative humidity. 
     A method for extruding the polyvinyl alcohol composition comprises: adding sufficient energy to the polyvinyl alcohol composition to both melt it and essentially eliminate the polyvinyl alcohol crystallinity in the melt, and 
   simultaneously removing energy from the melt at a rate sufficient to avoid decomposition of the polyvinyl alcohol. 
     The thermoplastic modified starch may be added to the polyvinyl alcohol before or during the melting of the polyvinyl alcohol and elimination of its crystallinity, or the starch may be blended with the thus treated polyvinyl alcohol and then melt extruding the polyvinyl alcohol/starch blend.

Abstract: A discharge regulator (20), in particular for a rainwater-retention tank (10), has a throttle device which is formed by a valve (30) which is controlled automatically in dependence on the filling height and has a throttle element which changes the outflow opening (21) of the retention tank (10). Said throttle element is designed as a flap (25) and is connected to springs (31,32) provided in the valve (30). In this arrangement, the flap (25) is pushed, by the respective water column pressure, against said springs (31,32), it being displaced into an approximately fully open position when the retention tank (10) is empty and, pushing against the springs (31,32) as the water column pressure increases, being displaced in the closing direction until, in the case of the maximum filling level, the outflow opening (21) is reduced to a minimum dimension. Preferably, the automatically controlled valve (30) is designed such that, with each filling level, an approximately constant amount of water flows out of the retention tank (10) per unit of time. This design, according to the invention, of the discharge regulator (20) achieves a solution which is extremely simple in terms of structure and in the case of which an optimum and very operationally reliable discharge of rainwater is ensured. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a toothed coupling which is suitable especially for a railway vehicle drive unit and which consists essentially of an internally toothed input-side (10) and output-side coupling part (20) and of an externally toothed connecting member (30) operatively connected to these parts. In order to achieve as large as possible a tooth centre distance where the installation space is restricted, the two coupling parts (10, 20) are, according to the invention, designed in such a way that they each have an annular space (15, 25) open on their mutually facing sides, into which the end regions of the hollow cylindrical connecting member (30) project, the latter then surrounding the hubs (11, 21) of the two coupling parts (10, 20) with a radial clearance (50). To facilitate installation and removal of the drive unit, the connecting member (30) is divided into two halves. With its coupling part (10, 20) and corresponding seals (18, 28, 46), each half (35, 36) encloses an oil space (47, 48) which is maintained during the installation and removal of the drive unit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: By mixing two types of hydrogel-forming particles having different Absorption Against Pressure values, a synergistic effect can be obtained wherein the AAP-value of the mixture is higher than would be expected on the basis of the weight fractions of the components of the mixture. By mixing two types of hydrogel-forming particles having different Teabag Centrifuge Capacity values and equal AAP values, an unexpected increase in the AAP value of the mixture is observed. 
     A method of manufacturing the absorbent gelling material according to the invention comprises the steps of:
     providing a first type of hydrogel-forming material and a second type of hydrogel-forming material;   introducing both types of hydrogel-forming material in a mixing means; and   mixing both types of hydrogel-forming particles to form the mixture.   
     Both types of hydrogel-forming material may be formed by a separate polymerisation process in separate batches, followed by mixing the two types of hydrogel-forming particles. 
     Alternatively, a weight fraction of a single type of hydrogel-forming material may be separated from the bulk of the material, may subsequently be treated to increase the AAP value thereof, and may be mixed back into the bulk material.

Abstract: Cranes are equipped with brakes to hold the load hanging on the hook securely at the respective height when no lifting or lowering is envisaged. For this purpose, as a function of the use, double-shoe brakes, disc brakes or brake motors are predominantly used. These brakes are designed only for the two conditions "brake off" and "brake on". The braking force is dimensioned such that the maximum load hanging on the crane is held securely. As a result, even at a low load, a maximum braking torque is produced. For checking the serviceability of the brake, checks are carried out in a specific rotation. Disturbances of the function lying in between them are often not detected. The invention is directed towards measuring the magnitude of the braking torque and further relevant influencing factors and, as a function thereof, to dimension the braking force to be only so large that the load is securely held. For this purpose, a device having corresponding functional units is provided, which can be matched to the respective conditions of use. Specific solutions are disclosed for the brake torque detection for drum brakes and disc brakes as well as brake motors. The solution has above all the advantage that the brakes can be continuously tested, monitored and controlled and braking forces are produced which are only as large as are strictly necessary. As a result, the operational reliability and the lifetime of the wearing parts are increased. Rotational checking of the brakes on crane installations, using test weights, is thus no longer necessary. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A digital filter 23 receives a control signal which specifies what filter coefficient values should be used. The control signal can be changed repeatedly so as to dynamically select the coefficients in response to the value of a control parameter. The filter 23 can be configured as a data rate converting filter in which the control signal represents the current phase relationship between the input data stream and the output data stream. The phase control signal can be provided as the phase output of a numerically controlled oscillator 67 having an oscillation frequency which is a multiple of one of the data rates and which is clocked at a multiple of the frequency of the other data rate. The data rate converter can be used as part of a data modulator or demodulator, thereby allowing an analog-to-digital converter 19 or a digital-to-analog converter 143 of the modulator or demodulator to run at a fixed arbitrary frequency substantially regardless of the data rate of modulated symbols.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention the birefringence induced by compressive strain in silica waveguides on silicon substrates is compensated with a high index patch -- such as silicon nitride layer -- placed adjacent the core. The patch is disposed sufficiently close to the core to optically couple with the transmitted optical mode. The patch is preferably wider than the core to intersect the exponential tail of the transmitted optical mode. Such a high index patch preferentially couples TE polarization modes. By choosing an appropriate length for the patch, both strain and bend birefringence can be compensated.
