Abstract: An electronic system to control the cooling of molds in glassware forming machines, wherein the articles and/or the molds in which said articles are being produced, are subjected to a suitable cooling to control the thermal relation therebetween so that the articles can be suitable handled and shaped. In this system, the velocity of the machine, the heat profile of the glass gobs and the gob weight are continuously detected and fed as signals to a microprocessor which determines the heat exitation of the molds when receiving the glass gobs, in order to control the necessary cooling air flow rate and compensate for variations in the thermal conditions of the molds.

Abstract: Adaptors for expandable mandrels of printing presses are formed as annular members which are slidable over the journals of the mandrel and lockable thereto, the adaptors each having an outwardly expandable external periphery for gripping and holding a printing cylinder of a diameter larger than that of the mandrel.

Abstract: This invention is related to a process for filtering gases or liquids for removing liquid or solid impurities and is characterized in that one uses for filtering a fibre material which partly exhibits a layer structure, said fibres along the main part of the total fibre length exhibiting a direction which deviates less than 45.degree. from the direction of a main direction plane of said fibres, said filtering being performed so that the filtered medium is brought to flow away from the filter material through an outflow area in the filter material in which the flow direction is essentially parallel with the direction of the main direction plane of the fibres.

Abstract: Rear view mirror apparatus for side mounting on the face shield or on the helmet shell of a protective helmet comprising: a mirrored surface; a module for holding the mirrored surface and having a transparent aerodynamically configured outer surface; the apparatus being adapted for attachment to the face shield or to the helmet shell.

Abstract: Initial setting, initial adhesion and long-term stability of mortar and concrete can be improved by use of a cement accelerating agent comprising (1) calcined alunite, a carbonate and lime, (2) calcined alunite, a carbonate and an aluminate, or (3) calcined alunite, a carbonate, an aluminate and lime.

Abstract: Beverage product, especially adapted for rapid administration of water and carbohydrates to the human body during periods of heavy muscle work, which consists of a preferably monosaccharide-free solution containing 3-25% by weight of a mixture of soluble oligosaccharides with DP values between 2 and 10 inclusive, the average DP value of the oligosaccharide mixture preferably being in the range 3-5; at least one physiologically acceptable alkalizing compound or compound combination; and optionally salts occuring in body liquids and suitably aroma and taste-improving substances, all of them in minor amounts; the solution's content of the physiologically acceptable alkalizing compound or compound combination being such that when the beverage is consumed during heavy muscle work (e.g. at 60% of the maximal aerobic capacity) in an amount of 250 mls each fifteenth minute during one hour gives an increase of the pH value in the vertricle contents to above 3.5, preferably above 4.5, especially above 7.0.

Abstract: The hinged door of a cargo container is provided with a locking mechanism contained wholly or mainly within the thickness of the door to draw the door into a closed and sealed position with respect to its surronding door frame. In one arrangement the mechanism has a tapered locking bolt that can be slid into a receiving recess in the surrounding door frame such that engagement of one face of the bolt taper with the socket urges the door into its fully closed and sealed position as the bolt is extended into the recess, and when the bolt is retracted engagement of the recess with the opposite face of the bolt taper breaks the door seal. In another arrangement the mechanism has a rotary pin projecting into a cam track to effect locking engagement.

Abstract: Mycotrienin-related compounds called the T-23-X, -XI, -XII, -XIII and -XIV. These compounds are isolated and characterized by structural formula and other identifying data. They are useful in the treatment of tumors.

Abstract: A method of producing an envelope having an integrally formed external pouch on one side for accommodating a despatch note, waybill or the like, comprises the steps of longitudinally folding a sheet of plastics material from a first reel and transporting the folded plastics sheet to a downstream sealing station while simultaneously feeding a strip of sheet plastics to overlie the folded plastics of the first reel to be transported therewith, and sealing folded plastics to form the envelope while simultaneously applying the same process to the strip plastics, to form the pouch on one wall of the envelope.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 each is benzyl or substituted with up to 3 methoxy groups, R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom and (alkylene) is lower alkyl and the compounds are useful for controlling viral infections.

Abstract: An alarm test device for a sprinkler system incorporates test and drain valves, together with a sight glass and a metering orifice into a single test valve, with the option of employing a plug valve as the test and drain valves, and the further option of employing a combined sight glass and metering orifice as the plug valve.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for separation and filtration of particulate matter of sediment from a liquid sample. The system includes a unitary filter assembly having an intermediate fibrous filter material disposed between two layers of porous, relatively rigid plastic material. The unitary filter assembly is pressed axially toward the closed end of a sample container, such as a test tube, resulting in an upward flow of filtrate with compaction and retention of the particulates between the unitary filter assembly and the closed end of the sample container. The filter assembly is free of orientation criticality and may be readily adapted to automated handling in multiple tests or assays.

Abstract: A seal assembly for incorporation into a pipe coupling has a fire-ring which is adapted to seal against the juxtaposed ends of pipes and provide a substantial seal between the pipe ends in the event that the body of the elastomeric seal is subjected of thermal destruction.

Abstract: An antiulcer composition, containing, as active ingredient, an antiulcer effective amount of an isoprene derivative as herein defined, is described.

Abstract: A compound of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R is methyl or ethyl, useful in chromogenic recording materials, is described.
