Abstract: Disclosed is a wood preservative composition comprising micronized copper and copper-amine complex, wherein the copper component of the copper amine complex is from about 5% to about 50% by weight, based upon the total weight of copper in the composition. The copper amine complex serves to avoid wood surface “chalking” that is otherwise attributable to the presence of micronized copper in copper-based slurries used to treat wood products. In addition, the copper-amine complex enhances the antimicrobial efficacy of the composition when used in wood treatment applications by facilitating cell wall penetration of the treated wood.

Abstract: A method, a mandrel and a device for removing coreless rolls of a plastic film. The mandrel comprises a tubular body having a plurality of radial holes, conformed with a chamber for distributing pressurized air, in which a piston suitable for being magnetically coupled with an external drive member slides. When a roll must be removed, pressurized air is supplied to the fore end of the mandrel, and escapes from all the holes to expand the internal turns of the roll which can be taken off without friction. As the roll advances along the mandrel, the magnetically driven piston progressively reduces the volume of the air chamber preventing at the same time the air to escape from the holes that progressively come to lie on the rear side of the mandrel, with consequent saving of compressed air.

Abstract: A ball nut of a ball screw drive, in which the ball nut is mounted on a threaded spindle via balls. The ball nut has on its inner circumference a ball groove wound helically around an axis that extends over at least one winding, and a deflection body, with deflection ends, arranged on a circumferential face of the ball nut. The deflection ends engage into a recess of the ball nut, and adjoin an end and a start of the ball groove. The deflection body is supported on one side in radial directions and on the other side on a machine part. The deflection body is connected at its axial ends to bearings for mounting on the machine part. The bearings, which project circumferentially, engage into the recesses of the ball nut and are arranged with their bearing faces approximately flush with the outer circumferential face of the ball nut.

Abstract: A process for extracting a substance or a substance group from a mixture utilizes a solvent for separation. The mixture is treated with the solvent in the presence of a sorbent as the stationary phase, wherein the solvent is conducted past the sorbent in a co-current flow with the mixture or in a counter-current flow against the mixture, or wherein the solvent is conducted past the non-moving mixture and the sorbent. The solvent and the sorbent are selected such that the holding effect of the sorbent supports the separation by the solvent during the separation procedure and/or subsequently supplements the separation by interacting with the solvent as the mobile phase.

Abstract: An inkjet recording apparatus including a recording head having a nozzle, a pressure chamber, and a pressure generation section; and a drive signal generator which generates a drive signal for applying at least one drive pulse, wherein the apparatus ejects the ink droplet from the nozzle by applying the drive signal to activate the pressure generation section, wherein the drive signal generator generates the drive signal within one pixel period in chronological order including a first expansion pulse to expand the volume of the pressure chamber, a contraction pulse, and a second expansion pulse, and wherein a contraction pulse width is 0.1 AL through 0.5 AL, where AL represents a half of an acoustic resonance period of the pressure chamber, and |Von|/|Voff| is 1.3 through 10, where Von and Voff respectively represent drive voltages of the first expansion pulse and the contraction pulse.
