Abstract: The present invention relates to low-foam surfactant mixtures comprising esters of the general formula (I) and alcohols thereof of the general formula (Ia) where R is a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms; Ra, R1 are each independently hydrogen or a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R2 is a branched or unbranched alkyl radical having from 5 to 17 carbon atoms; l, n are each independently from 1 to 5 and m is from 38 to 70, and where the ratio of the molar amounts of the esters (I) to the alcohols (Ia) is at least 17:3. The invention further relates to the process for preparing them and to their use and to washing and cleaning composition formulations comprising them.

Abstract: A hydraulic turret weapon system for armed vehicles that includes a turret and a weapon on the turret adapted to be independently directed at a target. A hydraulic drive includes a pair of hydraulic motors for moving the turret and weapon respectively. The motors are connected in parallel with each other to a pressure compensated pump and to a fluid reservoir. A pair of pressure sensors are respectively connected to the inlets and outlets of the parallel motors, and provide electrical signals as a function of hydraulic fluid pressure. An electronic controller is responsive to the pressure sensor signals, and to turret and weapon command signals, for generating directive signals to control motion at the turret and weapon motors individually. Velocities at the hydraulic motors are controllable both independently and conjointly.
