Abstract: A position-measuring device includes a carrier body having a first and second measuring graduations and a reference mark. The first and second measuring graduations include graduation structures periodically arranged along first and second measurement directions, respectively, that are perpendicular to each other. The graduation structures of the first measuring graduation each extend parallel to a first direction and the reference mark extends in a second direction that forms an angle different from 0° with the first direction. First and second scanners are configured to scan the first and second measuring graduations and generate first and second scanning signals, respectively. A third scanner is configured to scan the reference mark and generate a reference pulse. The position-measuring device is configured such that a phase angle of the reference pulse is determined as a function of the first scanning signals and the reference pulse.

Abstract: An apparatus for impregnating web material with thermally curable impregnating resin, The apparatus includes an impregnating trough in which the web material is brought into contact with the impregnating resin and an inlet line which leads to the impregnating trough and through which the impregnating resin is introduced into the impregnating trough. The apparatus also includes a heating device structured and arranged for heating the impregnating resin, wherein the heating device is associated with the inlet line and heats the impregnating resin in the inlet line.

Abstract: In a process and a mechanism (10) for drying and pre-condensing impregnates (14), which are made of foil-type web material impregnated with synthetic resin, impregnate (14) is irradiated with microwaves. In that way, impregnates (14) can be obtained, which, although the impregnating resin is free of melamine, is appropriate for pressing with a base body made of wood material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a decorative laminate with an abrasion-resistant surface coating for laminate floor boards or the like, which is characterized in that the thermoset resin mass that forms the resin impregnation of the decorative web and the abrasion-resistant surface resin layer that is materially integral with it with a closed surface is formed with a thermosettable synthetic resin and conventional additives and/or adjuvants, the synthetic resin mass as a component containing a mixture integrated into the resin mass or such a compound of at least one wax or wax blend based on a polyalkylene polymer and at least one polyvinyl pyrrolidone, in that the particles of the abrasion-resistant hard material in the surface layer are concentrated essentially only directly bordering the decorative web surface and in the vicinity thereof, and in that the covering density of the particles of abrasive material located in the surface layer in the same—proceeding from a high value directly on the decorative web—towar

Abstract: A device and process for forming hollow glassware comprising producing solid glass blanks in a manufacturing line, storing the blanks, feeding the blanks to a manufacturing line for forming hollow glassware, preheating the blanks during the feeding step, supplying the preheated blanks to a heating stage, heating to form solid plastically deformable glass globs, transferring the glass gobs to a blow molding stage and blow molding the glass gobs supported by a bottom lifter in a blow mold.

Abstract: A thermoplastic curtain wall system is provided for forming a vertical curtain wall from a plurality of wall sections. Each of the wall sections includes a rectangular thermoplastic panel to which at least one locking strip is fused to. The locking strip is formed with two generally dovetail shaped locking members, a channel and a locking lip. In joining two of the wall sections, the locking strips of adjoining wall sections are homogamously interlocked to form connecting joints. Spaces are defined in the joint for accommodating sealant material.
