Abstract: A locking device for vehicles, especially for aeroplanes, comprising an actively driven drive element provided with an input shaft and an output shaft which is directly or indirectly connected to the input shaft. According to the invention, at least one permanent magnet is associated with the input shaft or the output shaft, the magnet interacting with at least one other external fixed element, especially a permanent magnet.

Abstract: A busbar arrangement for coupling waveguide filters of output multiplexers wherein the side walls of short-circuited T-shaped or Y-shaped branch regions of the busbar are constructed for coupling the waveguide filters.

Abstract: A method and device for the production of a closure cap having a first part (16, 17) and a second part (18), joined together by at least one thinner section (19). The device contains a female mould part (11) and a male mould part (12), which are moveable relative to one another, in order to enclose a mould cavity. After the closing of the mould cavity, an additional mould part (14) is moveable relative to the mould cavity. In order to reduce the volume thereof, until the plastics material fills the mould cavity completely. Consequently the invention ensures that when compression moulding in the mould cavity, the closure cap and in particular also the thinner section (19) are formed completely in the mould provided.

Abstract: A method of cleaning an imaged printing form having a silicone-based non-printing layer, which includes exerting a defined contact pressure by a cleaning arrangement on a printing-form surface to be cleaned, and moving at least one of the printing form and the cleaning arrangement relative to the other, further includes applying cleaning fluid to the printing-form surface to be cleaned, the cleaning fluid, besides water, containing a cleaning concentrate as a component, the cleaning concentrate having 1 to 30 percent by weight of an anionic surfactant and 1 to 30 percent by weight of a nonionic surfactant; and a cleaning fluid for cleaning a printing form.

Abstract: A device for cleaning silicone particles and other residues from directly imaged printing forms of a printing form cylinder in a printing press includes a cleaning element extending parallel to the axis of the printing form cylinder and movable substantially radially against the printing form cylinder, the cleaning element having a cleaning surface with which it is engageable with the printing form, the cleaning surface being formed with a fleece of fine microfibers of plastic material.

Abstract: A housing lining for a piston engine, drive motor, or machine composed of a sound-absorbent layer of fibers. The fibers are compressed and glued to form an essentially pore-free supporting frame at least in the vicinity of the edge of the layer.

Abstract: A wheel lining with a structure made of a polymer, mounted at a distance from wheel, self-supporting, and impermeable to air. The lining is double-walled and incorporates at least two chambers. The walls of the chambers the facing the wheel are provided with at least one opening each to form Helmholtz resonators.

Abstract: A housing lining is disclosed with a self-supporting and airborne sound-absorbing layer of fibers. The fibers are compressed and glued together at least in the region of the edge surrounding the layer on the outside, to form an essentially pore-free supporting frame. The supporting frame may be provided with a cup-shaped bulge which comprises sound absorption surfaces which have a sound impedance of 20 to 200 Rayl.

Abstract: Crude water-containing tetrahydrofuran is purified by distillation by a process in which the crude tetrahydrofuran is passed through three distillation columns, water being removed from the bottom of the first column, water-containing tetrahydrofuran being recycled from the top of the second column into the first column, the top product of the third column being recycled to the first column, a distillate being removed at the top of the first column, and pure tetrahydrofuran being distilled off from the bottom product of the second column, in the third column, and the pure tetrahydrofuran being removed from the side take-off of the third column.

Abstract: Dampening agents or dampening agent concentrates for offset printing are disclosed which contain copper ions as corrosion inhibitors. Such dampening agents exhibit virtually no corrosive action on the offset printing machine parts with which they come into contact, in particular the printing cylinders made of nickel metal.

Abstract: A cutting oil suitable for the working of nonferrous metals, in particular for milling and engraving copper cylinders employed in gravure printing, is based on fatty acid esters of monohydric or polyhydric alcohols in an organic solvent which is selected from glycols, oligoglycols, polyglycols or their monoethers, diethers, monoesters or diesters, and also contains a surfactant, preferably an anionic surfactant. This oil enables outstanding and trouble-free working of metals and is distinguished by being completely removable, without regreasing, in an alkaline degreasing bath.

Abstract: An etching medium for chromed surfaces, comprises amounts of aluminum chloride, hydrochloric acid and an inorganic reducing agent, effective for etching a chromed surface. This medium is particularly advantageous when used for the correction of chromed gravure cylinders.
