Abstract: Apparatus for manufacturing book-binding covers including a board-feeding-in system for feeding in cover boards and a back insert and a copy-feeding-in system for feeding in reference copies. A copy cylinder grips the reference copies, guides them past a glue-applying roll, and joins them to the cover boards and back insert. A tucking-in and pressing-on device folds the protruding reference-copy edges round the board edges and presses the book covers on. A feeding-out device delivers the book covers in stacks. The material flow of the book boards, back inserts, reference copies, and book covers is orientated in an ascending manner in relation to the horizontal surface on which the apparatus stands. The gain in height thus achieved compensates for the losses in height in the board magazine, in the tucking-in system, in the feeding-out device, and on the onward conveyers so that the laying-on of the cover boards takes place at virtually the same, ergonomic working height as the taking-off of the book covers.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic module consisting of electrical circuit board conductors (3a), one or more electronic and/or electromechanical components (5, 5′), and one or more electrical connection contacts (7) wherein the circuit board conductors (3a) and the components (5, 5′) are surrounded at least partially by a plastic material (11) having low Shore Hardness.

Abstract: An adjusting apparatus and method for automatic setting of injectors are disclosed. The setting is carried out via accurate adjustment of the distance between an actuator and a lever element. In the process, an injector to be set is provided in the correct position in a measurement and setting station and is coupled to a pressure generating device. The setting element of the injector is then rotated in such a way that the injector switches through at a specific setting of the setting element. At the same time, the current values for the torque applied to the setting element, for the angular position of the setting element, for the exciter voltage applied to the actuator and for the pressure drop caused by the switching-through action are registered and compared with predefined parameters. If all the measured values agree with the predefined parameters, then the injector has been set correctly.

The nozzle is mounted on the filling system concentrically with the discharge unit such that sterile gas encircles beverages being discharged from the discharge unit.

Abstract: A fiber cleaning device is provided for use with a carding machine having a rotating clothing cylinder, a housing surrounding the cylinder, and an opening in the housing for removing impurities. The device has a separating knife with a knife edge for locating in the opening and directed counter to a rotational direction of the cylinder, and a pressure regulating element installed downstream, in the rotational direction of the cylinder, of the separating knife. The pressure regulating element is for adjusting a pressure between the housing and the cylinder such that fiber material accumulation on the knife edge is promoted.

This particularly advantageous method provides high conversion rates, highly pure acetic acid and low ethylene and carbon monoxide formation.

Abstract: A press has at least two rigid and generally planar platens normally brought together to hot-press a panel workpiece. Each platen is formed with a plurality of parallel longitudinally throughgoing bores having ends open at edges of the platen, an array of orifices opening at at least one face of the platen and communicating with the bores between the ends thereof, at least one manifold passage extending transversely in the platen adjacent at least one of the edges and intersecting the bores, and a heat-exchange passage offset from the bores and manifold passage. A heat-exchange liquid is passed through the heat-exchange passages. The ends of the bores are closed, and a treatment vapor is injected under superatmospheric pressure into or withdrawn by subatmospheric pressure from the manifold passages so as to expel the vapor from the platens via the orifices or suck vapor from the platens in through the orifices.

Abstract: A screwed connection has a first connecting means with an external thread and a second connecting means with an internal thread. In order to avoid self-slackening of the screwed connection, the external thread has a denticulation (14-16) which interacts with a mating denticulation of the internal thread.

Abstract: A bipolar medical instrument comprises a tubular shaft and two jaw parts. The jaw parts are arranged movably, one relative to the other, at the distal end of the tubular shaft and coupled one with the other via a joint. Each of the jaw parts forms a work electrode of different polarity. Each jaw part has associated to it a separate current line, one of such current lines being constituted by an axially movable force transmission element that is arranged in the tubular shaft and that is frictionally coupled to at least one of the jaw parts. At least one of the jaw parts comprises, at least in the region of the joint, a single-piece main body made from an electrically insulating material on which an electrically conductive jaw part insert is fastened, which forms a respective work electrode and which is connected, in an electrically conductive fashion, to the respective associated current line.

The threads of the 0° position run in a direction of production and are inserted between the remaining multifilament layers superimposed with different orientations. In addition, the threads of the 0° position are guided in the area located in front of the stitch bonding machine by auxiliary means which ensure the correct superimposition or distribution thereof.

Abstract: The invention consists of a process for the control of the motorized feed drive for the movable workplace table of a machine tool, in particular the rolling carriage of a circular saw. The manual force that is applied by the operator in direction of the feed is sensed and converted to a corresponding measured value. From this a set value for the feed rate of the rolling carriage is created and from that is derived a control signal for the drive.
