Abstract: A device is described relating to separating mixed substances of differing flowabilities, in particular for the purpose of processing foodstuffs. The processing takes place in a device by which an elastic presser belt is pressed onto the periphery of a hollow separating drum with a perforated wall, so that the substance to be processed consisting of the previously mentioned composition and located between the presser belt and the hollow separating drum is separated into a phase of easily and a phase of less easily flowable components. The present concept provides for the use of two presser belt systems, which are operative one in series with and downstream of the other and influence a hollow separating drum, thus offering the possibility of using presser belts of different softness as well as, in the case of offset arrangement of the presser belt systems, use of varying perforations in the respectively associated circumferential areas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable support element for use in underground mining or tunnel construction, particularly for securing mining cavities at the longwall face and headway. The invention is a single use prop made of inner and outer telescopable tubes which can be filled with a hardenable building material core. The tubes have drainage boreholes for draining excess water from a liquid filling material pumped within the tubes after the prop has been braced between the roof and floor of the mines. Plural bands connected between the outer and inner tubes enable the telescopic movement of the tubes.

Abstract: The controlled release of buprenorphine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to the skin over a period of time of at least 24 hours is ensured by a transdermal therapeutic system consisting of a backing layer which is impermeable to the active substance, a pressure-sensitive adhesive reservoir layer, and optionally a removable protective layer. Said reservoir layer of said system comprises 20 to 90%-wt polymeric material, 0.1 to 30%-wt softener, 0.1 to 20%-wt buprenorphine base or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and 0.1 to 30%-wt solvent for the active substance base.

Abstract: An electronic proximity switch dependent upon a magnetic field includes an HF resonant circuit adapted to be influenced by an approaching magnetic trigger. A coil arrangement includes a member drivable into magnetic saturation, with the member including an amorphous or predominantly amorphous metallic band of high permeability. A coil bobbin for accommodating the resonant circuit coil and the drivable member is made of a synthetic resin enriched with a pulverulent permeable material.

Abstract: The invention concerns a one-tube or two-tube shock-absorbing leg for the chassis of a motor vehicle. It has a sensor that measures the difference between the speed of the vehicle's body and that of its axis. The sensor comprises a winding and a permanent magnet. The sensor is accommodated such that the shock-absorbing leg's helical spring cannot affect the results.

Abstract: A bale opener for detaching fiber tufts from a top surface of a fiber bales series includes a tower for travel along a series of fiber bales in a direction of travel; a detaching device supported by the tower and including a rapidly rotating detaching roll; an arrangement for vertically moving the detaching device relative to the tower; an arrangement for angularly moving the detaching device about a horizontal axis oriented perpendicularly to the direction of travel; and a bale transporting device for advancing the fiber bales in a horizontal feed direction. The bale transporting device includes a conveyor belt and first and second end rollers supporting the conveyor belt. The first end roller is situated downstream of the second end roller as viewed in the horizontal feed direction.

Abstract: The winding heads of a bobbin-winding machine are provided with automatic bobbin exchange capability through the use of an indexable magazine which carries multiple interchangeable spindle units. The spindle units engage bobbins and, in turn, are adapted to be engaged by a rotary drive mounted on a transfer arm. The transfer arm moves individual spindle/bobbin combinations between the magazine and the bobbin-winding position after engagement with the rotary drive. Disengagement of a spindle/bobbin combination after winding and return to the magazine permits automatic exchange with a spindle carrying an empty bobbin.

Abstract: Waste is incinerated in a rotary furnace which discharges slag and exhaust gas connected to an afterburning chamber. The slag is discharged from the afterburning chamber directly into a glass melting furnace while the exhaust gas is removed to scrubbers which remove residues which are then fed to the glass melting furnace. Cullet and other glass forming materials are also added to the furnace in order to form a vitrified product.
