Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of undergarments free of seams with high wearing and support comfort.

Abstract: A cast-coated paper has, on at least one coated surface of a base paper, a coat containing pigment(s) and binder and having low gloss. The coat has a topographical surface profile in which the average peak-to-valley height R.sub.a is from 0.1 .mu.m to 0.5 .mu.m and the maximum peak-to-valley height R.sub.t is from 1.0 .mu.m to 4.5 .mu.m, and the wave height W.sub.t is less than 5.0 .mu.m. In a process for the production of a cast-coated paper having low gloss, an aqueous coating composition which contains pigment(s) and binder is applied to at least one surface of a base paper, the coated surface is brought into contact with the surface of a heated cylinder, the coat is dried in contact with the cylinder surface and the dried paper is removed from the cylinder surface. The cylinder surface has the topographical surface profile in which the average peak-to-valley height R.sub.a is from 0.1 .mu.m to 0.6 .mu.m and the maximum peak-to-valley height R.sub.t is from 1.0 .mu.m to 5.0 .mu.m. The surface gloss R'(75.

Abstract: A process for accelerating a measuring wheel of a length measurement system for sawed lumber conveyed longitudinally is provided by accelerating the measuring wheel prior to engagement with the sawed lumber to avoid slippage. The rotation of a hold-down or centering roller is used for accelerating the measuring wheel through a follower roller permanently engaged with the hold-down or centering roller. The measuring wheel is pressed by an elastic pressure element both against the follower roller and into the conveyor path of the sawed lumber. As the sawed lumber is conveyed longitudinally, it comes into contact with the measuring wheel forcing it out of the conveyor path and onto the surface of the sawed lumber while simultaneously disengaging the measuring wheel from the follower roller.

Abstract: An expansion dowel arranged to be anchored in a borehole includes an axially extending dowel member having a leading end and a trailing end and being partly sleeve-shaped extending from the trailing end. A wedge-shaped recess is formed inwardly from the outside surface of the dowel with the depth of the recess decreasing toward the leading end of the dowel member. A complementary shaped wedge member is located in the recess and is displaceable therein toward the leading end of the dowel member. An annular groove formed in the dowel member from the leading end toward the trailing end. The depth of the annular groove increases for at least a part of the axial length from the leading end of the dowel member. An expansion member is seated in the annular groove and extends around the dowel member. The expansion member has a stop shoulder located in the path of the wedge member as it is displaced toward the leading end.
