Abstract: The shear-protected plug-in collar connection is intended for mouldings and for socketed pipes (1) which are produced using the centrifugal casting process and in the case of which the tip end (3) of the one pipe can be pushed into the collar end (2) of the other pipe with radial play. Arranged in the collar end are a sealing ring (8) and a clamping ring (14) which is constructed separately therefrom and has a large number of clamping segments (15) which are arranged with a mutual separation in the circumferential direction and have an outer jacket surface (17) of spherical construction and, on their inner surface (18), in each case one tooth system (19) which, when axial forces occur as a result of the interaction of the spherical jacket surface (17) with an inner surface (18) of the pipe collar (which tapers conically to the end), press radially against the tip end (3). An elastomeric retaining part (20), which can be fixed on the collar end and supports it, is integrally formed on the clamping ring (14). A design which ensures correct retention is achieved even in the case of relatively large nominal widths if the annular-disc-shaped section (23) of the retaining part, which comes to rest on the collar end surface (22), comprises in the region of the inner edge of the collar end surface (22) a transition region (26) which is of reinforced construction and has a higher bending strength, and from which the connecting section (24) which leads to the clamping ring (15) originates, and if the collar end surface (22) has, on the inner-edge side, a recess region which is matched to the cross-section of the transition region (26) which is of reinforced construction. In this case, a steel ring (28) which increases the bending strength and can possibly be inserted through an axial insertion gap (29) is allocated to the transition region (26) of the retaining part, which region is of reinforced construction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for detecting the presence or absence of at least one specific nucleic acid sequence in a sample or distinguishing between two different nucleic acid sequences in said sample, wherein each nucleic acid sequence to be detected consists of two separate strands, which process comprises amplifying the specific sequence or sequences (if present) by   (a) treating the sample with one oligonucleotide primer for each of the two strands of each different specific nucleic acid sequence being detected under hybridizing conditions such that for each strand of each different sequence being detected an extension product of each primer is synthesized which is complementary to each nucleic acid strand, wherein said primers are selected so as to be substantially complementary to each strand of each specific sequence such that the extension product synthesized from one primer, when it is separated from its complement, serves as a template for synthesis of an extension product of the other primer; (b) treating the product of step (a) under denaturing conditions to separate the primer extension products from their templates; (c) treating the product of step (b) with oligonucleotide primers such that a primer extension product is synthesized using each of the single strands produced in step (b) as a template; and detecting the thus amplified sequence or sequences (if present).

Abstract: The clogging of the lint filter of a tumbler dryer with lint and fluff from the laundry being dried causes a reduction of the air transport exceeding that caused by the filling with laundry. This necessitates more frequent regulation of the input temperature (27) to the drum of the tumbler dryer than if the lint filter were clean or totally removed. It is therefore possible to measure the frequency of regulation and compare it to a value obtained by experience gained by drying operations with a clean lint filter. If the frequency of regulation is too high an alarm is triggered, indicating the requirement for cleaning the lint filter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flocked fabric has colors with long wearing capabilities and includes a textile substrate and raised disperse-dyeable fibers adhered to the substrate, an opaque particulate colorant adhering to the raised fibers and arrayed on the fabric in a printed pattern. A dye other than the opaque particulate colorant is also arrayed on the fabric in other portions of the printed pattern, such as in a blotch. A melamine-latex binder system causes the opaque particulate material to adhere to the fibers, and a resist causes the other dye not to dye the fibers in the area of the malamine-latex binder system. The opaque particulate colorant is adhered to the fibers strongly enough to show only very little wear after 15,000 cycles on a Wyzenbeek abrasion test.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de résolution de signaux dans un système de contrôle actif de procédé, où chacun des ordinateurs de contrôle actif de procédé redondant effectue un processus d'arbitrage commun sur les signaux d'entrée correspondants. Des blocs de signaux d'entrée correspondants sont échangés mutuellement par les ordinateurs de contrôle actif de procédé redondant et une vérification initiale est faite pour déterminer si ces signaux d'entrée sont valables. Pour les signaux d'entrée représentant des valeurs analogiques valables, on détermine si une tolérance définie au préalable a été dépassée entre les signaux d'entrée correspondants dans le cycle de contrôle de procédé en cours. Lorsque la tolérance prédéterminée a été dépassée, une vérification est faite pour déterminer si la tolérance prédéterminée a également été dépassée dans le dernier cycle de contrôle de procédé. Lorsque la tolérance prédéterminée n'a pas été dépassée dans le dernier cycle de contrôle de procédé, on utilise alors la valeur analogique entrée choisie durant le dernier cycle de contrôle de procédé dans le cycle de contrôle de procédé en cours. Lorsque la tolérance prédéterminée a été dépassée aussi bien dans le cycle de contrôle de procédé en cours que dans le dernier cycle de contrôle, on utilise un critère d'une valeur prédéterminée pour sélectionner la valeur d'entrée analogique et prendre une décision de commande du procédé. Une indication sera également fournie à chaque ordinateur de contrôle actif de procédé redondant pour identifier lesquels des signaux d'entrée correspondants ont été choisis par cet ordinateur de contrôle de procédé.

Abstract: A first gas in a laser cavity is ionized by an electrical discharge in the cavity as a step in producing an energy radiation. Debris (particulates) is produced during the formation of the energy radiation. The radiation and the debris move toward an optical element in the cavity. The optical element may be a window or a mirror. The debris tends to deposit everywhere in the cavity, including on the optical element, thereby dirtying the optical element. This inhibits the efficiency in the laser operation. A clean gas is directed into the cavity through a passage (54) at a position displaced from the optical element (56). The clean gas then passes in the cavity through an orifice (65) further from the optical element than the passage. The flow of the first gas through the orifice creates a venturi effect on the clean gas to insure that the clean gas will move away from the optical element. In this way, the clean gas inhibits the first gas and the debris from moving to the optical element. Baffles (62) in the cavity between the passage and the orifice provide irregularities in the movement of the first gas from the orifice to the optical element, thereby further inhibiting the movement of the debris to the optical element. Baffles (68) in the cavity between the passage and the optical element also inhibit the movement of any gas to the optical element. An electrically grounded screen (66) in the displaced passage attracts any ions present in the clean gas.
