Abstract: An articulated pendulum steering system for an articulated vehicle having a front vehicle section and a rear vehicle section, the system including a vertical bearing pin supported by at least one movable joint support, and a movable joint pin supported by at least one movable joint support, wherein the vertical bearing pin and the movable joint pin sit in an articulated pendulum joint axle.

Abstract: A method and system for encoding digital information is disclosed. According to the method, media program information is captured and used to produce a media program file. An encoding request is received from a client which requests that the media program information be encoded in one or more encoding formats. A set of encoding engines are selected that can encode the media program information in each of the one or more encoding formats. The media program file is then sent to the selected set of encoding engines to encode the media program information in the one or more encoding formats.

Abstract: An expandable layer made of compressible material placed in a rotary printing from between a core cylinder and a sleeve. An embodiment includes depressions on the outer circumferential surface and/or the inner circumferential surface of the expandable layer. The depressions can be, at least partly, fashioned as open circumferential annular channels. In addition, at least some of the depressions and annular channels can be arranged according to a required bending compensation of the sleeve. In another embodiment, an initial section of the depressions stretches in an axial direction on the expandable layer and a subsequent section of the depressions stretches in a radial direction over the expandable layer, whereby a part of the material of the expandable layer can be displaced in the depressions and at least a portion of the depressions is arranged according to a required bending compensation of the sleeve.

Abstract: A turning lathe for interior cutting of hollow work pieces using a boring rod onto which a tool holder device is fitted and on which there is a mechanism for holding a work piece in such a way that it encloses at least part of the boring rod characterized by the fact that the boring rod is gripped and held in place at both ends and by the fact that the tool holder device is fitted onto the boring rod in such a way that it is movable.

Abstract: A method for separating technical and biological polymers by generating two liquid phases using an added gas or an adjusted temperature. The separated polymers are obtained in solution with a high degree of purity. Complete separation can be achieved by subsequently performing liquid chromatography during which the corresponding trace component irreversibly adheres to the column while the other trace component is not retarded.

Abstract: A method for producing a polypropylene blend from a plastic packaging materials containing high molecular weight polypropylene, other high molecular weight polymers such as polyethylene, low molecular weight polymers and other contaminants. The method includes extraction, solid-liquid separation and liquid-liquid phase separation using various organic solvents. The polypropylene blend has a purity of 95% and has favorable melt flow characteristics, while retaining satisfactory mechanical properties.
