Abstract: An interaxle differential for connection between two driven axles (14) of a motor vehicle comprises a liquid friction coupling (1) and a planetary gear train (15) comprising three torque-transmitting members (16, 18, 20). The liquid friction coupling (1) comprises a liquid-filled housing, a coupling shaft, which coaxially protrudes into said housing at least one set of radially inwardly extending, axially spaced apart outer blades, which are mounted on the housing, and radially outwardly extending, axially spaced apart inner blades, which are fixed to the shaft in said housing and axially staggered from the outer blades. Each of said outer blades is adjustable in a radial plane to vary the radial overlap between the outer and inner blades. A first of said torque-transmitting members of the planetary gear train is directly connected to an input member of the differential gear. A second (20) of said torque-transmitting members is connected to said coupling shaft (3).

Abstract: A sealing device for pipe connectors discharging into a vessel includes a retaining ring having a flange and being disposed at the mouth of the pipe connector and tightly joined to the wall of the vessel. A rigid disk closes off the opening of the pipe connector. A seal is disposed between the rigid disk and the flange. Fast-action clamping elements extend through slits formed in the rigid disk and slits formed in the retaining ring. The fast-action clamping elements are supported on the disk and locked and braced on the retaining ring for securing the rigid disk to the flange with the interposition of the seal.

Abstract: A data block protection information code word (BSI) is formed by division of a message polymonial representing a data bit sequence (D) by a generator polynomial representing a cyclical binary code. Registers are arranged in register chains in a coder unit provided for this purpose with a polynomial ordinal number being allocated to every register representing a member of the binary code. Given the presence of a term at the ordinal corresponding to the registers (R) of the respective register chains (RK) missing in the polynomial ordinal seris, a respective logic element (V) is inserted to which an operation information is supplied, said operation information being formed in a means for the formation of the operation information (EBV) by parallel processing of a plurality of data bits together with information at the outputs of the registers (R) corresponding to the highest polynomial ordinals.

Abstract: A connector device for two light waveguides, which has a receptacle part formed by a carrier member having a recess receiving a central retaining part, which is movable in a radial direction in the recess, and a pair of pressure members movable from a position to urge the central retaining part radially inward to clamp stripped waveguides in an abutting alignment. The pressing members are constructed so that when in a non-pressing position, they still maintain the central retaining part in a loose, assembled relationship. The device can also include a gripping arrangement at each end for gripping the unstripped portions of the waveguide so that the joint between the two stripped portions is not subjected to tension placed on the waveguides.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a valve wherein the valve closure body includes two bracing elements lying in contact engagement with the inner wall surface of the wall casing of a conduit. The two bracing elements are disposed in spaced relationship to each other so that this spacing defines a squeeze zone at which a squeezing pressure can be applied. The squeeze zone has a length which corresponds approximately to the wall spacing within the sleeve. When the elastic wall casing of the conduit is squeezed in the squeeze zone, a portion of the casing deflects to allow passage of a fluid through the conduit.

Abstract: A process for the removal of solid particles from a mixture containing at least one liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon is described. The solids-containing liquid mixture is introduced into at least one hydrocyclone having a downstream separator. The liquid mixture which has been enriched in solids and discharged from the hydrocyclone is preferably subjected to sedimentation of the solid particles, without the use of centrifugal forces. Efficient removal of interfering particles is achieved in this way, together, with long service lives and a minimum of emission.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a module in the line-connection section of a digital time-multiplex telecommunication network is disclosed. The module contains, among other things, a transverse filter to perform a two-wire/four-wire conversion and is connected through a transformer to the wires of a subscriber line. In order to compensate for phase distortions caused by reflection of signals from the transformer back to the module, the corresponding signals coming from the module are subjected to an equal and opposite phase pre-distortion. This optimizes the hybrid circuit attenuation.
