Abstract: A liquid boundary level detector employing an open-ended conduit which directs pressure waves toward a liquid boundary layer. The conduit is moved from a starting position toward the liquid boundary and, upon contact with the boundary, there is a change in acoustic impedance within the conduit. This change is monitored and a signal is generated indicative of such contact. Once the initial liquid boundary position is determined, that may become the reference position for subsequent liquid boundary measurements or motions.

This poses problems, however, during mounting as well as during avoidance, particularly on hard surfaces. In order to ensure firm and reliable mounting of the plough blade (1) on the curved guide and hence problem-free avoidance, the curved guide is designed as a sliding bearing. To this end, it comprises a first and a second curved actions. A forced limiter with a descending characteristic curve is also provided. The snow-plough is suitable for use as road snow-plough.

Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure for the bleaching of pulp, in which procedure an oxidating bleaching chemical containing chlorine is used. The essential feature of the invention is that the pulp is treated, either in conjunction with or before oxidation, with a lignin-modifying oxidation-reduction enzyme, such as the lactase produced by the white-rot fungus. The oxidating bleaching chemical used in the procedure may be chlorine dioxide or a mixture of chlorine dioxide and chlorine gas. The use of said enzyme reduces the amount of chlorophenols and other forms of organically bound chlorine in the spent bleach liquor, simultaneously lowering its chemical oxygen demand.

Abstract: For winding and cross-cutting a web (11), use is made of a device having a first driving roller (21), which is mounted in pivotable supporting arms (22) and can be pressed against the outer circumference of the wound package (8) forming about a receiving roll (9). In a pivotable roller frame (1) is mounted a second driving roller (7) which can be brought into contact with a second receiving roll (9'), which is still to be wound. A group of deflecting rollers (14 to 17) is mounted in a common supporting structure, which, in turn, is mounted pivotably on the roller frame (1). Also arranged in the roller frame (1) are rollers (19) which can be pressed against one another of which at least one roller is driven. A cutting member (10) is arranged underneath said rollers (19) in the roller frame (1). The web (11) is so guided about the individual deflecting rollers (14 to 17) that the supporting structure (12) can be swivelled unimpeded together with said rollers into a position in which the web (11) loops round the receiving roll (9') still to be wound. The roller frame (1) and, in this, the supporting structure (12) can be swivelled in such a way that the deflecting rollers (14 to 17) are transferable into a position by means of which a part of the web (11) and the receiving roll (9') still to be wound form a gap (23) which narrows in the running direction of the web (11) and in the circumferential direction of the receiving roll (9'). This gap is situated underneath the two rollers (19) which can be pressed one on the other and the cutting point, situated below, for the web (11), so that the new web beginning is guided positively into the gap (23) without any other auxiliaries than the web (11) itself being necessary.

Abstract: Insect control agents comprising genes encoding proteins affecting the growth, development or behavior of an insect are provided. The gene is either activated to prevent insect molting and pupation or is inactivated to reduce the feeding behavior, inhibit growth and result in the earlier death of the insect host. Such an insect control agent is exemplified by a baculovirus in which the gene encoding ecdysteriod glucosyltransferase has been inactivated. Additionally, such baculoviruses may be further modified to express a protein which affects ecdysis. Methods for producing the insect control agent and methods of controlling insects by exposing them to the insect control agent are also included.

Abstract: A diagnostic system checks the major hardware components in a pattern control system used in a textile dyeing apparatus. The system includes bypass logic circuitry which permits selective bypassing of either the look-up tables, stagger memories, or both the look-up tables and the stagger memories in the pattern control system. The diagnostic system checks the look-up tables in the pattern control system to assure that the address lines for the look-up tables operate properly. A prime number pattern is loaded into the look-up tables such that each address location for each look-up table will have a different piece of data. The look-up tables are then read in address sequence and the output thereof compared with a previously stored prime number pattern to determine whether any errors arose. The system further checks the firing times produced by the gatling memory section of the pattern control system by simulating a machine speedup and checking for the onset of machine optimum speed and machine overspeed. <IMAGE>
