  • Patent number: 8152168
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming a stream of overlapping sheets or stacks of sheets, includes a first transport device to deliver overlap-free sheets or stacks of sheets at a speed v1 along a plane of transport EV. A second transport device carries away the sheets or stacks of sheets at a speed v2 along a plane of transport EH. A decelerating device is arranged to receive the sheets or stacks of sheets at the speed v1 from the first transport device, decelerate the sheets or stacks of sheets to the speed v2 and deliver the decelerated sheets or stacks of sheets to the second transport device to form the stream of overlapping sheets or stacks of sheets. The decelerating device comprises a suction roller unit actuated independently of the transport devices. The suction roller unit comprises a stationary element and an unevenly driven movable element.

  • Patent number: 7918127
    Abstract: The invention relates to a test method and a test device for the determination of an oil separation tendency of lubricating greases under pressure load. In the method, a predetermined test pressure is applied to a test volume (2) filled with lubricating grease (27) over a predetermined test period (32), the lubricating grease (27) of the test volume (2) is contacted with an oil absorption or oil separation element (11), and the change of the test volume (2) is detected on the basis of an absorption or separation of oil (29) separated from the lubricating grease (27) by the oil absorption or oil separation element (11) at the end of the test period (32). To be able to estimate the oil separation tendency of lubricating grease more exactly, in the method according to the invention, the time history of the change of the test volume (2) representative of the oil separation is detected over the test period (32).

  • Patent number: 7906314
    Abstract: A method for removal of the monosaccharide in oligosaccharides production which includes the step of culturing the yeast. A further step involves mixing 8%-12% (W/W) of yeast based on the weight of oligosaccharides and 0.1%-0.5% (W/W) of carbamide as nitrogen source with raw oligosaccharide syrup, and then adjusting the pH value to 4.5-6.0. A further step involves culturing the above oligosaccharides syrup at 23° C.-26° C. for 20-30 hours with intermittent agitation.
