Abstract: A forward-control counterweight fork-lift truck has a liftable and tiltable load-lifting device (1), a traction drive and operating drives for the movement of the load-lifting device (1). A calculation model (D) is stored in a control device (SE), to which directly or indirectly acting sensors (S) are connected for detecting the lifting load (L), the lifting height (H), the tilting angle (WM), the load torque (M), the direction of travel (R), the driving speed (V), and the steering angle (WL). The control device (SE) is designed to determine a driving and load state (Z) based on the detected physical variables (L, H, WM, M, R, V, WL) and the stored calculation model (D) and is operatively connected to the traction drive and the operating drives. Depending on the driving and load state (Z) determined, the operating speed, starting and braking acceleration, and driving speed are each reduced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing melem-free melamine by means of aqueous processing of a melted mass of melamine which is obtained using a high-pressure method. According to the inventive method, the melted mass of melamine is quenched by means of an aqueous solution containing alkalis, following the isolation of the off-gases, and is directly transferred into an aqueous alkaline melamine solution, out of which the melamine is then crystallized. The invention thus enables melamine to be obtained, with a melam content of less than 1000 ppm and a melem content of less than 50 ppm. The invention also relates to a quenching agent.

Abstract: A two-stage process is provided for purifying off-gases from a high-pressure melamine plant. In the first stage, the off-gases are contacted with a recirculated urea melt containing melamine precursors and NH3. In the second stage, the off-gases are contacted with a fresh urea melt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pick-up arm system for the reproduction or replay of records comprising a pick-up arm chassis and a pick-up arm tube. The torsion element suspension of the pick-up arm is axially stabilized by means of cylindrical permanent magnets which are arranged in a vertical direction and have opposite polarities, said elements forming a rotating bearing or a pivot. According to the invention, the torsion element runs in a congruent manner with respect to the vertical axis of rotation through the horizontal point of rotation of the receiving element for the tube of the pick-up arm. The lower part of the torsion element is connected to a permanent magnet which is connected to the receiving element for the pick-up arm or tube and the upper part of the torsion element is fixated attached to the upper chassis of the pick-up arm.

Abstract: A mixture containing one stereoisomer of 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one and two stereoisomers of hexane-2,3-diol, especially (3R)-3-hydroxy-hexan-2-one, (2R,3R)-hexane-2,3-diol and/or (2R,3R)-hexane-2,3-diol and compositions containing them and the use of the mixture and of the compositions for controlling Hylotrupes bajulus and Pyrrhidium sanguineum by means of the monitoring, capture or mating disruption method are described.

Abstract: A water sensitive ceramic powder, in particular aluminum nitride, is provided with a hydrophobic coating. The coated powder is dispersed in water with addition of a binder and a nonionic surfactant from the group comprising ethylene oxide adducts with an HLB value of from 10 to 14. Subsequently the aqueous slip is converted into a free flowing granulated powder. The nonionic surfactant, which is added in an amount sufficient to give a monomolecular layer, makes possible a good dispersion of the hydrophobically coated powder in water.
