Abstract: The invention relates to a metering device for the metered admixture of a first fluid in a second fluid. The device comprises a housing (10) with a first inlet (15, 16), a second inlet (11), and an outlet (14) for a mixture of the two fluids. The housing (10) also contains a moving body (18) which is so arranged as to be influenced by a flow of fluid through the housing and exhibits means for regulating the first fluid, in such a way that a change in the flow at the outlet (14) produces a change in the flow of the first fluid. The inlet (15, 16) for the first fluid is connected to a tubular channel (17), which is centered essentially coaxially inside the outlet (14). The body (18) is mounted so that it is capable of displacement along the outside of the tubular channel (17), against the effect of a spring device (21) acting in a direction downstream.

Abstract: A process carried out by an apparatus for cutting a tubular bar comprises a first cutting stage performed by a first disc-shaped rotary cutting tool, oriented so as to rotate about an axis parallel to a line of extension of the bar and also movable gradually along the contour of the bar, which is made to penetrate into the peripheral wall of the bar over a distance less than the thickness thereof, forming a groove therein. In a second and successive cutting stage, a second stationary cutting tool, oriented transversely with respect to the line of extension of the bar and movable along the contour of the bar inside the groove, is made to penetrate into the remaining thickness of the peripheral wall so as to cause gradual shearing of the bar.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for recognizing deformed speech signals outputted from a microphone includes a module for comparing deformed signals with simulated deformed signals that are generated from non-deformed speech signals that have previously been digitized and stored in a memory. Frequencies of the formants of simulated deformed signals are about two-three times the frequencies of the formants of digitized non-deformed signals.

Abstract: The edging or tapering equipment requires that each of the two shaped pads, for the plastic deformation of the two edges of a respective can body, be positioned so that the longitudinal axis of the pads lies at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the can body located in an operating position zone, and that the pads be set at opposite angles to one another; each of these shaped pads also moves independently, rotating and traversing around and along their respective longitudinal axis and simultaneously traversing along a determined longitudinal axis so as to obtain, at an operating contact position, induced rotation of the can body in a direction concording with the rotation of the shaped pads and designed to allow contact between each operating head and the respective edge in a zone for the definition of the profile of said edge, a profile which is created gradually, by simultaneous linear traversing and rotation of the shaped pads along the axis.

Abstract: A device 10 for dissolving a coagulant having a rotor chamber 13 supporting rotors 21 around the horizontal axis, wherein a mixture of the coagulant and water is fed to the rotor chamber 13, the liquid level of the mixture is kept at a medium level of the rotors 21, and the mixture can be stirred vertically by means of the rotation of the rotors 21.

Abstract: The device relates to a locking device for firearms with a magazine guide. The locking device is insertable into the empty magazine guide of the firearm, and the locking device has a locking unit adapted to direct or indirect lock the functionally essential parts of the firearm, such as the bolt of the firearm, and to lock said locking device in said inserted position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hose coupling device, which comprises a male part connectable to a female part. The female part consists of a sleeve, which is provided with a number of resilient tongues extending in equally spaced relationship along the inner wall of the sleeve and protruding inwards form the inner wall and directed away from the mouth of the sleeve. The male part consists of a tube portion with transverse edges in its outer wall. At the insertion of the male part into the female part the resilient tongues are arranged to resiliently snap into place behind the transverse edges of the male part and hence connect the female part to the male part. The parts can be separated by turning them relative to one another to a position where the resilient tongues assume a position laterally of the transverse edges.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an automatically closing and locking door adapted for use in drive through and walk up facilities. The door rides on an inclined track and closes due to gravity. The door locks automatically upon the coupling of a hooked door latch with a cooperative hooked door base. The door is unlocked and opened by application of a lateral force upon the knob of the hooked door latch. A spring attached to the foot of the base is caused to exert a force against the door thereby coupling the hooked door latch and hooked door base.
