Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous production of a multidirectional fabric web. The object of the invention is to create a method for the continuous production of a multidirectional fabric web that has a material layer running in a longitudinal direction and thus has sufficient stability against distortions in the fabric. This object is achieved according to the invention in that a continuous fold-winding process of at least one fiber layer running at an angle to the direction of extension of the fabric web to be produced takes place with the enclosing of at least one material web (1) running freely in the spread-out state in the production direction at least in the fold-winding zone. The invention can be used in the production of fabric webs that are used for example as a reinforcement of high-strength plastics.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for buffering between two synchronously pulsed devices which transmit and receive data packets of data words, the output being enabled as soon as the number of output clock cycles after the start of a data packet exceeds a start value which is determined in advance by measuring the output clock cycles as a function of the input clock cycles.

Abstract: The invention relates to an embroidery machine for embroidering embroidery fabric (23), particularly for chain stitching and drop stitching. The embroidery machine has an embroidery head (1), located above the embroidery fabric (23), and an embroidery needle (2) is movably supported in the embroidery head (1) in such a way that by means of drive mechanisms, the embroidery needle (2) is movable up and down and is also rotatable about its longitudinal axis. The embroidery machine also has a stitch plate (3), which is located below the embroidery fabric (23) and on which at least some of the embroidery fabric (23) rests during the embroidering. A thread layer (18) is located on the side of the stitch plate (3) remote from the embroidery fabric (23) and guides the embroidery thread (10) for stitching, and by rotation of the thread layer (18) the embroidery thread (10) can be laid around the embroidery needle (2) that has pierced the embroidery fabric (23).

Abstract: A pot spinning machine holds a yarn rewinding tube in ready position during the spinning operation for immediate movement to an operative rewinding position in the event of a yarn break so that the broken end of yarn is not lost by winding onto the yarn cake already formed in the spinning pot and the yarn cake may then be properly rewound. The yarn break is detected with the aid of a yarn sensor which then emits a signal for immediately moving the rewinding tube into the rewinding position and clamping the yarn end. The rewinding operation can begin, even in the absence of a loose end of the yarn, if the yarn has assumed the form of a chord-like yarn segment extending substantially in the circumferential direction against the inner face of the yarn cake deposited onto the inside wall of the pot, which can be grasped and utilized to initiate the rewinding operation.

Abstract: A mixing chamber for thickening sludge, especially sludges in a sewage clarification plant by means of a flocculation agent in combination with an overflow drainage means wherein the sewage feed to the bottom of the mixing chamber enters a mixing zone and flows upwardly into an overflow at the top and out through a diversion means for the thickened sludge leading to a sedimentation belt or to a press filter, handling to the outside of the mixing chamber. The top of the mixing zone is widened by means of a flow section for the thickened sludge which is formed by dewatering through the perforated screen walls and the waste water is disposed downstream of the agitated mixing zone.
