Abstract: The invention relates to a heating element with at least one electrical resistance, wherein between a surface for heating and the electrical resistance is situated a dielectric, onto which dielectric connects an ammeter for detecting a leakage current. In addition, the invention comprises a liquid container provided with such a heating element. The invention also relates to a method for detecting a temperature change in a heating element formed by an electrical resistance by measuring a leakage current discharged by a dielectric connected to the heating element.

Abstract: A weft length measuring storage unit is characterized by comprising avoidance mechanism for setting said weft length measuring storage unit such that a weft is not measured its length or stored while maintaining operable one or more driven members which are driven by the main shaft of a loom to measure the weft or stored before the loom is at least inched or reversed.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the practice of abrasive machining with no sealed working chamber by the employment of a visco-elastic abrasive medium, behaving predominantly as an elastic solid at the applied strain of the orbital working motion, and applying orbital or other relative working motion to produce strain rates which bring the medium into a predominantly elastic deformation and often near, but not to exceed, the compressive stress limit at the strain rate employed. The preferred visco-elastic abrasive medium is a rheopectic poly(boro-siloxane) filled with viscosity increasing stiffening agents and high loadings of the abrasive of choice and relatively mono amounts of plasticizers.

Abstract: An aqueous coating liquid for forming a magnesium oxide film comprising (a) a magnesium carboxylate derived from a carboxylic acid having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, (b) a surfactant, (c) a polyhydric alcohol compound, and (d) a solvent made substantially of water, wherein the magnesium carboxylate is contained in a ratio of 5 wt % or more and 50 wt % or less. The surfactant is contained in a ratio of 0.01 wt % or more and 2.5 wt % or less, and the polyhydric alcohol compound is contained in a ratio of 0.05 wt % or more and 40 wt % or less, based on a weight of the entire coating liquid. The magnesium carboxylate content is the same with or larger than that of the polyhydric alcohol compound, and a total weight of the magnesium carboxylate and the polyhydric alcohol compound is 80 wt % or less of the weight of the entire coating liquid; and wherein the magnesium carboxylate, the surfactant, and the polyhydric alcohol compound are dissolved in the solvent.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for abrasive flow machining the orifice (18) of a workpiece (20) by using an abrasive media (15) whereby the apparatus (10) is capable of passing media (15) through the orifice (18) at a predetermined pressure and at a constant flow rate. In the alternative, the apparatus (10) is capable of passing media (15) through the orifice (18) at a fixed flow rate by using variable pressure upon the media (15) through the orifice (18).
