Abstract: An internally stabilized earth wall is disclosed along with facing elements (24, 30) suitable for construction of that wall in a wet marine environment. The wall elements include footer panels (30) and wall panels (24), each of which is provided with a pivotally attached planar array of reinforcing members (44). The reinforcing members are hingedly mounted so as to be lowered in a vertical plane to a substantially horizontal posture on top of a lift of particulate material. According to the method, the footer panels (30) are suspended and properly positioned by a stationary crane while crushed stone (40) is dumped into position beneath the footer so as to support it. With the footer in position, the wall is erected by guiding each wall panel (24) of a course into position on top of the associated footer panel (30) and backfilling the wall panel by depositing a layer of particulate material subsequently lowering at least one array of reinforcing members (44) and repeating those steps until the last layer of reinforcing members has been positioned on top of a lift of particulate material. When the top of the wall has attained the appropriate elevation above the water surface, a cap member (76) is integrally cast in place.

Abstract: The cylindrical pump housing (13) which may be screwed on top of a bottle carries a stack of discs (22) above which projects the piston rod (15) of the pump. A cylindrical skirt (17) forming a cap (11), extends downwards from a flat top with a central opening connected by a side outlet to a dispensing nozzle projecting radially outwards. When the cap is pressed, the contents of the bottle are forced upwards through the central opening and through the nozzle due to the pumping action. The cap can be rotated about its vertical axis to control the discharge. In one position, the bottom of the skirt is blocked by the top disc, so that it cannot be pushed down. By rotating the cap until a vertical rib (19) inside is aligned with grooves (20,23) on the vertical outside faces of the discs, the cap can be pushed down.

Abstract: 0 The storage time of a saturated transistor is reduced by connecting a low impedance current source or sink to the base of the transistor in response to a control pulse which turns the transistor off, to thereby increase the rate at which the excess minority carriers are removed from the base. The connection of the current source or sink to the base is provided by means of an inductor connected to the base terminal of the transistor and an auxiliary transistor that is actuated in response to the voltage across the inductor. A change of the current through the inductor produces a voltage transient across the inductor, which is applied to the base of the auxiliary transistor to turn it on. In turn, the auxiliary transistor connects the base of the main switching transistor to a current source or sink, depending on the type of transistor, to thereby increase the current flow into or out of the base region of the transistor, thus reducing its storage time.

Abstract: A screen printing apparatus is provided for transferring sheet materials from a supply area to a printing table. The apparatus has a pair of grippers which are guided jointly over the printing table in a timed manner in order to grip a blank sheet at a feeding table and pull it over the printing table. The two grippers are separately guided above the printing table in such a way that their movements take place in opposite directions to one another and that one of the gripper fails passes over the other one in the area of the center of the printing table. This design has the advantage that during the transport by a first gripper of a sheet to be printed on the printing table, a second gripper rail already returns to its starting position. Therefore, when the printed sheet is removed from the printing table, a new sheet can be placed thereupon immediately. Idle times for the conveying of the sheets to be printed are eliminated with the use of only two grippers.

Abstract: A first fraction of carbon-rich, rather unreactive products with a low content of volatile constituents, a second fraction of highly reactive products which have been obtained by carbonisation of fossil raw materials of a low degree of coalification or organic masses, and, if appropriate, a third fraction of other constituents which are desired and required in the future field of use of the briquettes, such as quartz sand, are ground and, subsequently, two binders are added. The binders have the property of volatilising when heated except for a carbonisation residue which binds the feed products. The first binder is admixed dry at room temperatures (18-25 DEG C) to the fractions and then caused to conglutinate at room temperature by means of a suitable liquid which is added to the mixture. The second binder is also admixed dry at room temperature. Its volatile constituents are expelled only at substantially higher temperatures than those for the first binder. After homogenisation and/or a reaction time and resting time (conditioning time), the above fractions are shaped with the binders to give briquettes and, if appropriate, subsequently heat-treated. <IMAGE>
