Abstract: Anti-fogging systems for air-cooled, piston powered single engine aircraft which effectively prevent windshields from fogging during cold weather by directing a forceful stream of unheated, ambient air in a direction which intercepts exhaled air from an aircraft occupant to impede the moist exhaled air from directly reaching the windshield and condensing on the windshield. The disclosed systems keep the windshield of a small air-cooled, piston powered single engine aircraft from fogging while permitting a pilot to perform his pre-flight preparation, taxi and takeoff in cold climates.

Abstract: Improved utilization of organosilicon compounds in hydrophobicizing finely divided particulate solids is accomplished by metering a partial amount of unreacted solids with organosilicon containing offgases derived from admixing and reacting a major portion of solids with organosilicon compounds and admixing the offgas-treated solids with the major portion of solids to be treated.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airworthy CAN bus system having a plurality of subscribers which are networked to one another by a CAN bus having dual redundancy and are able to interchange data, wherein a bus master polls the other bus subscribers at regular intervals and supplies them with data, and the bus master and all the other bus subscribers are of two-channel design, with each channel independently delivering data and at the same time being able to concomitantly read the data from the respective other channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an active ingredient for inhibiting dust mite feces and/or mold spores as well as for denaturing the keratin of animal hair as well as plant pollen or plant spores, consisting of an enzyme such as auxillase, alcalase, bromelain, alpha-chymotrypsin, collagenase, pepsin, pronase, thrombin and trypsin, especially the enzyme auxillase, preferably consisting also of water, anionic surfactants, fragrances and preservatives, packaged in containers used for spraying or squirting, or placed into textiles, textile materials or bags, in liquid or paste or gel form.

Abstract: An improved axle beam and self-contained drum brake assembly, particularly for heavy duty trucks, is disclosed. The assembly includes a brake spider and actuating members mounted thereto via a mounting assembly comprising a mounting sleeve attached to the brake spider by means of a second mounting bracket, and a first mounting bracket securing a pneumatic brake actuator cylinder to the mounting sleeve. A brake actuating camshaft is positioned and rotationally supported therewithin. The disclosed brake assembly allows for numerous variations of axle beam and suspension arrangements.

Abstract: For the purposes of increasing pilot visibility and comfort in small planes during winter conditions, this invention provides an auxiliary heating system. Prior to actual flight, that is to say that during start up, warm up, taxi and takeoff, a small aircraft does not intake sufficient outside air to warm the cabin and defrost the windshield. The normal heating system on a small plane depends upon ram air when the plane is flying at normal speeds. This invention consists of a simple replacement part, mainly an electric blower which sucks in air from outside the aircraft and forces it through the muffler shroud and thereafter into the cabin and defroster ducts. The system is operated by a switch located on the control panel. Once the aircraft is in flight, the system may be shut off as there is sufficient ram air to heat the small aircraft.

Abstract: In a method of making a pipe of different wall thickness, a mandrel with at least one outer recessed axial section is inserted into a tubular blank. Subsequently a drawing die, having an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the tubular blank, is pushed over the tubular blank while the pipe is held in place with respect to the mandrel in drawing direction, thereby pressing a wall portion of the blank into the recessed axial section of the die to form a pipe with a wall portion of greater wall thickness. As the mandrel is then withdrawn from the pipe, the wall portion of greater wall thickness of the pipe is pressed radially outwards.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing highly disperse silicon dioxide by combustion of organochlorosilicon compounds, which comprises transporting a liquid which contains at least one hydrocarbon compound and at least one organochlorosilicon compound into a burner and burning the liquid there in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas and without supply of water.

Abstract: A process for electrolytically producing an amalgam from metal salt, using an anion exchanger membrane. The chlorine-free process provides amalgam produced from metal salt and having a high degree of purity, and ensures advantageous parameters, such as a low cell voltage and high current efficiencies.

Abstract: A programming language system in a high level language should comprise language means that enable a reliable and purely logical programming of a locally transparent communication between programs sequencing parallel. This is enabled by the introduction of a specific data type, that is referred to as the service type, that combines references to components (objects) of a service to form a service interface that is announced to the operating system.

Abstract: A process to purify waste waters using chemical oxidation and Fenton's reagent by the action in the acid range of hydrogen peroxide and iron(II) compounds and subsequent precipitation in the weakly acid to alkaline range of the iron(III) compounds, said process being characterized in that the sludge containing iron(III) accumulating in addition to the purified waste water is reduced electrolytically back into iron(II) compounds and in that the sludge so reduced is fed back into the process. The process of the invention allows extensive purification of highly concentrated waste waters and furthermore problems arising with the treatment and elimination of the Fenton sludge can be circumvented.
