The thread is used as a sewing thread or a thread for reinforcing polymers, elastomers, rubber or concrete.

Abstract: Disclosed is a leadframe lot at least one electronic component, composing at least two electrical lead elements, each of which comprises at least one electrical lead tab and at least one retention tab. Provided between the at least one retention tab and the lead element is a score defining parallel offset between the retention tab and the adjacent region of the lead element. An additional parallel offset is defined between the lead element and the electrical lead tab, such that the retention tab and the electrical lead tab are located in a common plane. The score enables the retention tab to be removed easily without the need for a disadvantageous punched gap between the lead element and the retention tab.

Abstract: Alkyl-substituted butenols having the formula (I): R1—CH2—CH?CR2—CH2OH ??(I) wherein R1 is a saturated or olefinically unsaturated alkyl or cycloalkyl group having from 4 to 16 carbon atoms and wherein R1 is optionally substituted by an alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or alkaryl having up to 12 carbon atoms; R2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms are produced by a process which comprises: (1) reacting an aldehyde of the formula (II): R1—CH2—CHO ??(II) wherein R1 has the same meaning as in formula (I), with the corresponding lower aldehyde to form an unsaturated aldehyde in an inert organic solvent; (2) continuously contacting an optionally calcined copper/zinc catalyst with the unsaturated aldehyde under isothermal conditions at temperatures of from about 45 to about 60° C. and under a hydrogen pressure of from 1 to about 300 bar.

Abstract: Hydraulic shock absorber, at least containing three concentrically arranged cylinder tubes, of which at least the radially exteriorly arranged cylinder tube is provided with an associated passage for receiving at least one module and the module is connected to the exterior cylinder tube via a fastening flange that is provided with a through-hole and that is at least partially supported on the exterior wall of the exterior cylinder tube, whereby provided concentric with the through-hole of the fastening flange is at least one largely cylindrical sleeve that forms a support surface for at least one sealing element that is held sealingly clamped at least between the outer surface area of the sleeve and the inner wall of the through-hole of the fastening flange that is arranged concentric with the surface area.

Abstract: In audio processing technology there are interfaces of different type, the different interface types being associated with differing sample clock frequencies and/or differing data frame or data word formats. In some applications it is desired do process audio signals that stem from such interfaces of different type. According to the invention the input signals of the interfaces of different type are pre-processed for a subsequent common-format central processing, using a synchronization to the common system clock, channel decoding according to the differing channel protocols related to the different-type interfaces, and processing the resulting PCM bitstream format signals so as to form therefrom sample words that are stored in an intermediate store from which the sample words are fed to the central processing.
