Abstract: A cover device for a shredding plant, able to cover at least a shredder unit which includes a rotary drum rotatable around its own axis of rotation within a shredding chamber. The cover device includes a plurality of separation means to separate and discharge the materials arriving from shredding. The cover device includes a first element which is pivotable to the frame of the shredding plant, a second element which is pivotable to the first element, and a third element which is pivotable to the first element.

Abstract: A compression device for a scrap-shredding plant, comprising at least a rotating roller element able to cooperate with a feed surface for feeding of scrap to the plant in order to grip and compress the scrap between the roller element and the feed surface. The roller element comprises a hollow tubular structure able to be dis-assembled, having semi-cylindrical cap elements reciprocally coupled during use with a rotation shaft of the rollers.

Abstract: A shredding device comprising a drum having a central hub rotating around an axis on which a plurality of discoid elements are mounted adjacent, able to rotate solidly together and carrying peripherally beating elements. Each discoid element comprises a set of beating elements which comprises at least a pair of beating elements and, along the axis, the pairs of beating elements of the discoid elements are disposed angularly staggered with respect to the same axis.

Abstract: A contrasting device for a shredding plant comprising shredding members for shredding. The contrasting device comprises one or more contrast portions assembled in an independent and removable manner onto a frame of the plant, and assembly elements cooperating with each contrast portion, so as to determine the independent and removable assembly onto the frame. Each contrast portion comprises a symmetrical contrast profile with respect to a contrast edge. The profile is defined by a first segment and by a second segment substantially equal to each other.

Abstract: A cover device for a shredding plant, able to cover at least a shredder unit comprising a rotary drum able to rotate around its own axis of rotation inside a shredding chamber. The cover device is provided with a plurality of separation means to separate and discharge the materials arriving from shredding.

Abstract: An electromagnetic retarder system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the retarder system comprises: a shaft; a coil statically disposed on the shaft and having a hollow cylindrical shape; a yoke statically disposed on the shaft, the yoke having a first cylindrical surface and a second cylindrical surface, the second cylindrical surface disposed coaxial with said coil; at least one claw pole rotor mounted on the shaft, the at least one claw pole rotor formed of magnetic half wheels that taper into claws; and an induction drum disposed coaxial with the shaft and mounted so as to encompass the coil, the yoke and the at least one rotor.

Abstract: Use of a compound of formula (I) or a 3-enol C1 to 4 alkanoate ester thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of an angiotensin II related disease in humans and animals wherein R1, R2, R5, R6 are the same or different and each is hydrogen or C1 to 4 alkyl; R3 is hydrogen, C1 to 4 alkyl, C2 to 4 alkenyl or C2 to 4 alkynyl; R4 is hydroxyl, C1 to 4 alkanoyloxy, a group of formula (II) or (III) wherein R7 is (CH2)n, where n is an integer of from 0 to 4, R8 is hydrogen, C1 to 4 alkyl, hydroxy or NH2 and R9 and R10 are the same or different and each is hydrogen or C1 to 4 alkyl; or R3 and R4 together are oxo, ethylenedioxy or propylenedioxy.

Abstract: A sign structure having a display, movable member and computer means creates a unique vehicle for displaying content. In one version, the movable member is adjacent to the display and substantially shields a portion of the display as it traverses thereover. Coordinated content transmitted to the display gives the appearance that the movable member is influencing the displayed content. For example, as the member moves upward an image below the member stretches in size while an image above the member compresses in size until the upper image disappears and the lower image occupies the entire visible portion of the display. This continues as the member traverses up and down over the display. The member may appear to manipulate the images by stretching, compressing, pushing, pulling and/or erasing them.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for providing electrical power onboard a vehicle. In one embodiment, the system comprises: an AC/DC converter; an onboard power supply connected to the AC/DC converter so as to provide an input to the AC/DC converter; an external power source; a cable connected at one end to the external power source and at the other end to the AC/DC converter so as to provide electrical power from the external power source as an input to the AC/DC converter; and a controller, connected to the AC/DC converter and controlling various parameters of the selected power supply.
