According to the invention each secondary body comprises a lifting mechanism for lifting the reeling drum from the stand rail to a production level in which the reeling drum is free from the stand rails and the load of the paper reel and the reeling drum is taken up by the secondary bodies and transferred to the stand members.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of certain auxin transport inhibiting semicarbazones to potentiate the herbicidal activity of other herbicides. The present invention includes potentiating herbicidal compositions of these auxin transport inhibitors and quinclorac. These potentiating herbicidal compositions have been found especially useful in combating or controlling the growth of broadleaf weeds when applied postemergence to the locus of these weeds.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing the dross ridges which are formed on the lower surface of a metal workpiece during torch cutting of the workpiece. The apparatus includes a support beam having generally flat upper and lower surfaces, and a cutting edge extending longitudinally along each of its four corners. The beam is positioned to extend across and below the workpiece path of travel, and the beam is rotatable between a neutral position wherein one of the upper and lower surfaces is just below the pass line of the workpiece, and opposite tilted positions in which one of the cutting edges engages and removes a dross ridge on the lower surface of the workpiece. Each of the cutting edges comprises a plurality of separately pivotable cutting blades, so that the cutting edge formed by the blades is able to closely conform to a non-linear surface contour of the workpiece.

With entrapped antigen they can act as immunological adjuvants. Vaccines based therein are active orally as well as by conventional administration routes and are simulators of antibody production via the Th 1 T lymphocyte partway.

Abstract: A concrete column forming tube and method of making same for receiving poured concrete column therein to produce a concrete column is characterized by a smooth inside coated surface in the forming tube to eliminate spiral seam lines and other undesirable characteristics on the outside surface of the formed concrete column. The tube is formed from spirally-wound plies of paper adhered together and has a centrifugally-cast epoxy resin coating sprayed onto the inside surface of the spirally-wound tube while the tube is rotating to produce a smooth inside coated surface on the forming tube.

Abstract: In a vacuum housing (1), an inner duct (17) is disposed. Quadrupole magnets (superconducting coils) (4) is placed around the inner duct (17) is excited by a DC power supply (10). Quadrupole magnets (4) are cooled by liquid helium contained in a helium housing and outer tubes (2, 3) and is brought into a superconducting state. Pulverized coal X is ejected together with air Y from a header (11) through piping (12) and a valve (13) to a baffle plate (14). Pulverized coal is made to fall into the inner duct (3). Paramagnetic materials such as ash are attracted by magnetic force to the tube and are then collected by a collection tube (26). Combustible diamagnetic materials are collected by a combustible collecting tube (18) extending in the central axis. Intermediate materials are collected by an intermediate collection tube (23) and are put back to the head (11) through a bypass tube (25). There are no mechanical parts in the inner duct (3). Consequently, rotation loss and eddy-current heating are prevented.

Abstract: A foam-in-place packaging system is disclosed that comprises a bag foamed of two sheets of flexible plastic film material sealed on all four sides by respective edge seals. A plurality of frangible seals are between the two sheets and define three separate interior cells in the bag. The frangible seals extend between the edge seals or between an edge seal and another frangible seal to thereby define a single cell bag when the frangible seals are broken. The cells separately contain a first and second foam precursor composition, and the bag includes means for permitting gases to vent from the bag as the foam precursors form foam while preventing foam or foam precursors from escaping from the bag.

Abstract: A method for preparing an epitaxial silicon wafer in a reactor is provided. The method comprises the steps of depositing an epitaxial layer on a surface of a silicon wafer contained in the reactor at an elevated temperature; purging the reactor with hydrogen after the epitaxial deposition; and cooling the reactor to an appropriate temperature which allows hydrogen passivation of the surface of the epitaxial layer. This prevents the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer for a sufficient amount of time to allow an accurate measurement of a carrier density profile of the epitaxial silicon wafer.
