Abstract: A control device for controlling a transmission ratio between a traction means and a sprocket set rotatable about an axle may include at least two sprockets alternatively wrapped around by the traction means. At least one of the sprockets may include several independently adjustable rim segments. Adjustment of the rim segments in relation to a fixed plane may be effected by a control device in a direction substantially transverse to the plane. The control device includes at least one electrically actuatable control element, e.g., a servomotor. The at least one control element is configured to rotate with the sprockets.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a gearshift mechanism for adjusting a gear ratio between a traction means, such as a chain, and a multi-sprocket gear set which can be rotated around an axle. The gearshift mechanism is configured to move the traction means in relation to the sprockets, such that an adjustment element is moved into the rolling motion of the traction means, thereby causing movement off of one sprocket and movement onto another sprocket.

Abstract: The control device is for controlling a transmission ratio between a traction means and a wheel set rotatable about a wheel axle and including at least two wheel blades alternatively wrapped around by the traction means. At least one of the wheel blades is composed of several independently adjustable wheel rim segments. The adjustment of the wheel rim segments in relation to a fixed plane (“plane of alignment”) in which the traction means wraps around the wheel set is effected by the control device in a direction substantially transverse to the plane of alignment. The control device includes at least one electrically actuatable control element, in particular a servomotor, provided that the at least one control element is arranged to rotate with the at least two wheel blades.

Abstract: A control mechanism (800) for setting a transmission ratio between a traction means (812), in particular chain, and a wheel set that is rotatable about a wheel axle and includes two or more wheel blades (810, 820, 830), in particular sprocket blades, adjusts the wheel rim sectors relative to a fixed plane of the traction means in a direction transverse to the plane of alignment. At least one of the wheel blades is composed of a plurality of independently adjustable wheel rim sectors (802, 803). By means of a control component (807) mounted decoupled from a rotary movement of the wheel set, a plurality of co-rotating thrust elements (804, 805) are each displaced via rotation-free couplings between a first and a second position at least in the axial direction, wherein each of the wheel rim sectors is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a respectively associated thrust element.

Abstract: A flotation process for the de-inking of printed waste-paper by treating the paper pulp in the pulper at alkaline pH-values by means of alkali silicate, oxidative bleaches and separating the loosened printing-ink particles from the fibrous material suspension by flotation, in which protein fatty acid condensates are added finely distributed, possibly together with dispersing agents, in a solution or dispersion which is fluid at normal temperature.

Abstract: A housed valve which serves to control the flow therethrough of a medium is disclosed. The valve comprises a control member which projects into a flow-through aperture and is supported flexibly and elastically on a guide wire attached to the housing. The guide wire may be made of steel wire, and the support in a fixed relationship with the housing may be such that the axial position of the control member with respect to the flow-through aperture can be influenced in accordance with temperature.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a fuel system for internal combustion engines in which the unburned, heated fuel which is permitted to flow back to the tank from the fuel metering assembly is deaerated via an apparatus in order to prevent gases from re-entering the fuel supply pump when the fuel is reinduced thereto. By the inclusion of a jet pump between the fuel return line and the induction line, the degree of efficiency of the fuel supply pump is substantially increased.

Abstract: Improvements in a fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines having a needle valve positioned in a chamber constrained by a closure spring positioned in another chamber thereabove, there also being provided an intermediate piston which includes a portion that extends into the spring chamber therebeneath and further includes a working surface area that is subjected to pressures in still another chamber positioned thereabove.

Abstract: This invention discloses fuel injection nozzles for internal combustion engines which are known to have a needle valve that is shiftable under pressure of the fuel supply against the force of a closing spring and more particularly the improvement wherein the opening stroke of the needle valve can be changed by a transversely movable slide element that includes a spool-like body having a medial area of varying diameter which serves to limit the stroke of the needle valve.

Abstract: Very pure carboxylic acid-1-monoglycerides are prepared by reacting a carboxylic acid with glycidol at a temperature of 80.degree. to 200.degree. C. in the presence of a basic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound as a catalyst in the presence of an inert solvent which forms a homogeneous solution with the reactants at the reaction temperature.

Abstract: What follows is a description of a fuel metering system for internal combustion engines having a measuring probe. The probe monitors the composition of the exhaust gas and produces an output signal which is used to govern the motions of a magnetic valve which in turn regulates the amount of air mixed in with fuel prior to the admission of this mixture to the veturi in the suction tube of the carburator.
