Abstract: A process for the production of a free flowing filled elastomer powder by combining an elastomer latex with a filler suspension is disclosed wherein the combining of elastomer latex and filler suspension takes place in the presence of about 0.1-15 parts by weight--calculated per 100 parts by weight of elastomer solid in the elastomer latex--of a high-molecular-weight amine with quaternary nitrogen functions and with an average molecular weight of about 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.8.

Abstract: The application relates to a pearlescent pigments based on platelet-like substrates, such as mica, which are coated with metal oxides, the metal oxide layer containing titanium and also iron, wherein the pigment has a multi-layer structure in which a first layer of TiO.sub.2 in the rutile form is followed by a layer of pseudobrookite and an iron oxide layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of molding compositions from a thermoplastic polycondensation resin susceptible to degredation at high temperature in the presence of H.sub.2 O, to which is admixed a second synthetic resin, present as an aqueous latex, at temperatures in the range of 150.degree.-300.degree. C. and under a pressure in the range of 1-100 bar under the effect of high shear forces, for a time sufficient to provide the desired molding composition without substantially degrading the polycondensation resin.

Abstract: New bicyclohexylethanes of formula IR.sup.1 --Cy--Cy--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --A--(Cy).sub.n --R.sup.2 (I)wherein R.sup.1 is alkyl; R.sup.2 is alkyl, in which one or two non-adjacent CH.sub.2 groups can be replaced by O atoms, or is F, Cl, Br, CN, --COOalkyl or --O--CO-alkyl; or one of the radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 can also be H; A is Cy, or 1,4-phenylene which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or two F and/or Cl atoms and/or CH.sub.3 groups or by a CN group; Cy is 1,4-cyclohexylene and n is 0 or 1; the alkyl groups in each case containing 1-10 C atoms, with the proviso that n is 1 if A is Cy and R.sup.2 is CN,can be used as constituents of dielectrics for electrooptical display elements.

Abstract: Coarse coal particles are pulverized to at least 70% passing through a standard 200 mesh screen in the presence of water in an amount to form aqueous coal slurries having a coal concentration from 60 to 80% by weight. The pulverization is carried out also in the presence of polyether typed polyoxyalkylene adducts having a high molecular weight with polyols having at least three active hydrogen atoms, phenol/aldehyde condensates of polyalkyleneimines, or derivatives of these adducts.

Abstract: A method for effecting logging or servicing operations in a predetermined zone of a well, following an initial portion thereof, comprising fastening a logging or servicing tool body at the end of a string of rods lowered into the well, said tool body being provided with an electric male connector, lowering at the end of an electric transmission cable, from the surface, a female connector adapted to fit the male connector, coupling said female and male connectors by the action of a force generated at least partly by the pressure of a fluid pumped through the string of rods, supplying electric power, through said transmission cable and said connectors, to said logging or servicing tool for its operation in said predetermined zone, and with rotating means located between the string of rods and said tool, rotating the tool without rotating the whole string of rods.

Abstract: Buildings are advantageously heated or heat-conditioned with a heat pump operated with a non-azeotropic mixture consisting essentially of two working fluids, with the mixture comprising a major component of monochlorodifluoromethane (R 22) and a minor component of trifluoromethane (R 23).

Abstract: Process for hydrodesulfurizing a gas comprising together methane, at least one organic sulfur compound and oxygen, characterized by the step of passing a mixture of said gas with a hydrogen containing gas on a palladium catalyst at a temperature of 300.degree. to 450.degree. C.The gas usually comprises at least 2 mg/Nm.sup.3 of sulfur as organic sulfur and 0.05 to 2% by volume of oxygen.

Abstract: Device for generating acoustic waves by implosion in a fluid medium comprising fluid-operated means to move a piston, having one end face in contact with said fluid, from a retracted position in the enclosure to a spaced apart position of maximum extension towards the exterior of the enclosure or vice versa and intermittent locking means for maintaining the piston at its spaced apart position, said fluid-operated means being actuated by two sources of fluid at different pressures, one of which is said fluid medium and the other a source of lower pressure.

Abstract: 2-(4,5-BIS-P-CHLOROPHENYLOXAZOL-2-YL-MERCAPTO)-PROPIONIC ACID AND ITS PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACCEPTABLE SALTS IS USEFUL FOR SUPPRESSING AGGREGATION OF THROMBOCYTES, PARTICULARLY WHEN ADMINISTERED IN COMBINATION WITH ASPIRIN.
