Abstract: A method of continuous filtration of contaminants from a contaminated viscous fluid, the method may include: pumping the contaminated viscous fluid between a non-perforated surface being a first cylinder and a second perforated surface being a second cylinder disposed substantially parallel to each other at a defined first gap, moving the non-perforated surface and the perforated surface with respect to each other includes one or more longitudinal fins protruding from second cylindrical body into the first gap towards the perforated surface of the first cylindrical body thereby forming a second gap between the distal tips of the fins and the perforated surface, thereby forcing movement of the contaminated viscous fluid in a direction substantially parallel to the relative speed thereby generating a shear rate in the contaminated viscous fluid near the perforated surface in the direction substantially parallel to the relative speed.

Abstract: A plastic liner having a second, deformed shape, and having a memory of a first, undeformed memory shape, the deformation in the deformed shape comprising one or more deformations, at least one of which is a twist deformation consisting of alternate left-right twists along the liner.

Abstract: There is provided a method for splicing of elastomeric belts having one or more reinforcing members extending in the lengthwise direction of the belt. The method includes the steps of recessing the reinforcing members at the open belt ends and subsequently butt-joining the belt ends to form an endless belt.

Abstract: An assembly and a method for producing an endless transmission belt is disclosed herein. The assembly comprises an open-ended belt of indeterminate length made of a thermoplastic elastomer and having reinforcing means extending through the entire length thereof. The belt is cut to a required length and its two ends are connected in a permanent joint to form an endless transmission belt. The assembly further comprises joining means to produce the permanent joint, which joining means is in the form of an elongated splicing member made of a thermoplastic elastomer and having reinforcing means extending through at least a major portion of the length thereof. The splicing member is introducible, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the belt, into a recessed zone of limited longitudinal extent providable in both end portions of the belt, and is permanently bondable to the belt.
