Abstract: A connector for coaxial cables having an inner conductor (14) and an outer conductor (10) separated by a dielectric (16) includes a front body (4) to attach a coaxial cable in the connector and a rear body (8) adapted for connection to the front body (4), and a device for holding the cable in the connector in a manner that permits reproducible deformation of the outer conductor (10) during the connecting operation. The device for holding the cable in position is comprised of a ferrule (1) for holding the coaxial cable, and a bushing (2) that cooperates with the ferrule (1) to permit axial movement of the coaxial cable over a determined distance (L) in the connector during the connecting operation. The surfaces of ferrule (1) and bushing (2) cooperate to produce reproducible compression and/or deformation of the outer conductor (10) between said ferrule (1) and said bushing (2) during said connecting operation.

The processed globin products have an isoelectric point at a pH value below 5.5, an iron content of less than 1000 ppm, a ratio of His : Lys between 0.6 and 1.5, a Tyrosine content of at least 0.5% by weight, a Methionine content of at least 0.5% by weight, and a Lysine content of at least 5% by weight. The method for the production of the processed globin products according to the invention comprises treating the starting material at a pH above 12 and an the oxidizing treatment step the pH is kept below 12 while maintaining the temperature below 50.degree. C.

Abstract: The invention barbecue apparatus with an air-permeable holder for ignition material for fuel in the fireplace to be suspended in a tubular stand of the barbecue apparatus. A reservoir for liquid fire extinguishing material and/or for collecting ashes can be provided in the tubular stand, whereby the reservoir with fire extinguishing material contributes to a lowering of the center of gravity of the apparatus. A removable support grating for solid fuel can be provided in the fireplace. The barbecue apparatus can include a cover so that in case of unexpected falling, the barbecue apparatus tips over in the direction of the cover and the solid fuel lands in the cover.

Abstract: A styrenic thermoplastic resin composition comprising a mixture of: (A) 50-90 wt % of a styrenic polymer; (B) 5-35 wt % of a chlorinated polyethylene; (C) 5-35 wt % of a modified ethylene-propylenic rubber; and (D) 0-10 wt % of vinyl graft copolymer has superior weather resistance and mechanical properties such as impact strength and tensile properties. The resin composition also provides improved layer peeling tendency which is one of the most troublesome problems in conventional resins such as acrylonitrile-chlorinated polyethylene-styrene resins.

Abstract: The resin composition for preparing an internal box of a refrigerator according to the present invention comprises (A) a graft polymer obtained by grafting of a monomer mixture comprising a vinyl cyanide compound and an aromatic vinyl compound to a conjugated diene rubber, (B) a graft polymer obtained by grafting a monomer mixture comprising a vinyl cyanide compound and an aromatic vinyl compound to an acrylic rubber, (C) a copolymer of about 40.about.about 50% by weight of a vinyl cyanide compound and about 60.about.about 50% by weight of an aromatic vinyl compound, and (D) a copolymer of about 30.about.about 35% by weight of a vinyl cyanide compound and about 70.about.about 65% by weight of an aromatic vinyl compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a synchronizer for automobile transmissions. The invention provides a synchronizer in which the stroke of the shift lever is shorter for the same synchronizing time and the shift lever is operated by a smaller operating force to give convenient operation. By forming a friction surface at the outer circumference of the sleeve, the friction is located at the farthest position from the center line of the synchronizer so that the friction force is increased. At the same time, the pitch circle diameter of the power transmission spline is the largest so that the width of the synchronizer is reduced and the time required for synchronizing reduced. Also, the torque required in operating and the operating stroke are reduced remarkably whereby the enhanced performance synchronizer for automobile transmission provided.
