Abstract: Process and apparatus are provided for the batchwise wet treatment of textile material with an aqueous liquor that contains dyestuff or other textile processing products according to an exhaust technique. Textile material in continuous loop form is recirculated in a jet dyeing machine, and a recirculating gas stream propels the material. A blower recirculates the gas stream while aqueous liquor is metered into the stream by aspirating the liquor at the upstream side of the blower. The action of the blower finely disperses the liquor within the gas stream.

Abstract: A packaging wrapper for disk-shaped magnetic information carriers is disclosed. The wrapper is formed by folding over a blank to form a flat wrapper. The wrapper has projecting tabs jutting out laterally from the sides of the front wrapper wall and overlap zones on the rear wrapper wall formed as a result of folding-over of the projecting tabs. The projecting tabs are firmly bonded to the rear wrapper wall by means of welding. The blank for forming the packaging wrapper is formed from a biaxially oriented, opaque multi-ply film comprising a base layer consisting essentially of polypropylene and fillers. The fillers are present in a quantity in the range from 10 to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the polypropylene and fillers.

Abstract: After a dyeing operation has been concluded, the hot dyeing liquor present in the piece dyeing jet is returned via a cooling heat exchanger in the dyeing circulation system back into the makeup storage vessel for the dyeing liquor. Thereafter, the liquor-free dyeing system, which is still under an elevated static pressure, is relieved to atmospheric whereby the dyeing system is cooled down adiabatically together with the dyed textile material present therein to such an extent that a sample can be taken therefrom rapidly and safely.

Abstract: Optical waveguides of plastic usually consist of a core and a jacket, the core material having a higher refractive index than the jacket material. A suitable core material is a fluorine-free polymer and a suitable jacket material is a fluorine-containing polymer, which can also contain deuterium. The optical waveguides can be produced by passing a polymer rod through a solution of the jacket polymer and then removing the solvent. The optical waveguides are particularly suitable for the transmission of data with the aid of light waves with a wavelength of 500 to 750 nm.

Abstract: A process for forming a multi-level positive working photosensitive element. One forms a composition containing an alkali soluble resin, an o-quinonediazide compound and an in-situ generated acid catalyzed crosslinker in a solvent mixture. After coating on a substrate, drying and partially cross-linking the first layer, a second positive working light sensitive layer is applied. Each light sensitive layer is activated by u.v. radiation in different parts of the spectrum. The top layer is imagewise exposed and developed to form a mask. The second layer is flood exposed through this mask and developed. Each development is conducted with an aqueous alkaline solution.

Abstract: A spin finish composition is disclosed which contains an associative thickener which does not significantly affect the initial viscosity of the spin finish composition but which causes a substantial increase in viscosity as water contained therein decreases from its initial level to about 70%, and which effects no substantial change in viscosity of the composition as the water contained therein decreases from 40 to 0%. By virtue of this behavior, a spin finish composition results which can be improved in terms of spreadability on the yarns, package build, spin line coherence, the number of broken filaments and the tackiness of the snow formed on the texturings disks. Additionally, variations in the evnironment in which spin finish is applied e.g., temperature and humidity, do not substsantially affect its performance.
