Abstract: The coating of the pressure roller (3) of a drawing roller frame for spinning frames comprises an outer layer and an inner layer fixed to the core of the pressure roller. The outer layer is thinner and harder than the inner layer and is embodied as an endless belt (1) which loosely surrounds the inner layer such that the belt can be displaced in relation to the inner layer. In order to improve the running of the belt, the belt is guided over a deflector rail (2), the cross-sectional area (u) of the rail being wider than the average staple length of the fibre material (F) drawn on the drawing roller frame. Furthermore, the belt is designed in such a way that it comprises a double thread interlining, one thread interlining being wound counter to the second thread interlining such that the threads of one thread interlining cross the threads of the second thread interlining.

Abstract: A spinning position for spinning yard from a fiber structure including a fiber guidance element is disclosed. The fiber guidance element includes a fiber guiding surface having a deflection point located in the interior of the fiber guidance element. The input direction of a fiber structure into the fiber guidance element forms an angle of inclination ? with the fiber guiding surface at the deflection point. The splaying of the outer fibers of the fiber structure is increased and the quality of the yarn is thereby increased. The jamming of the fiber elements lying parallel to the direction of introduction may also be avoided.

Abstract: During a jet spinning method, the rotating fibre ends or the subsequent wound fibres of the spun yarn (70) cause a spinning tension Fs. In tests, a direct correlation has been established between the spinning result and the spinning tension Fs. The aim of the invention therefore is to provide a method for spinning yarn in a jet spinner that permits an ideal spinning tension Fs despite high spinning speeds, thus achieving an optimal spinning result, in particular with regard to the yarn quality. According to the invention, a jet spinner is operated with a spinning tension Fs<20 cN by means of a configuration of spinning box elements.

Abstract: A method for producing bipolar transistors with the aid of selective epitaxy for producing a collector and base. The method includes widening the area of the base either by the isotropic etching of the conductive layer or by the oxidation of the conductive layer and by the subsequent removal of the oxide layer. This widening of the area of the base prevents the occurrence of short-circuits between the emitter and the collector during the subsequent production of the base.
