Abstract: An absorbent article having a void space for receiving bodily exudates comprises an elongate slit opening in communication with the void space. The elongate slit opening includes elasticated region disposed along longitudinal side edges of the slit opening which maintain longitudinal and lateral alignment and Z-direction proximity with a point of discharge on a wearer during use. The elasticated regions contain stored elastic energy producing tensile forces which are distributed laterally away from the slit opening enabling the edges to deflect and allow bodily exudates to pass through the slit opening to the void space.

Abstract: To produce a two-chamber arrangement having a first chamber, which is filled with a first component, and a second chamber, which is filled with a second component, two separate bags are sterilized and filled independently of each other with the first/second component. Only after the bags have been sterilized and filled are they connected to each other in such a way that the component contained in one chamber can be transferred into the other chamber so as to be able to mix the two components together. Once they have been filled, the first and second bags are preferably sealed with an openable peel seam, after which the bag ends are welded together.

Abstract: Audio sources are coded by recognizing different classes of audio such as speech and music. The classes are used to select between coding algorithms and to provide object definitions. Objects have abstract and concrete classes which may further rely on parameters produced by linear prediction and subband filters to provide a frame-based bit stream of information. Each object in the bit stream has layers of information such as basic bit rate, coding parameters and enhancement parameters. The layers of information in each object allow altering selected parameters to manipulate audio signals.

Abstract: A modular-construction measurement probe comprising a component designed as a diaphragm module and, connected to the diaphragm module, a rod electrode. The diaphragm is made up of at least three layers, the second layer having a much higher permeability than the first or third layer with respect to the gases and/or non-ionic compounds being determined. The first layer and the third layer are made of chemically resistant material. The three layers are preferably permanently bound to each other to give a uniform diaphragm structure, a support material in the form of stainless-steel gauze being mounted in the second layer. The probe is also fitted with a pressure-compensation system which makes it possible to compensate for pressure differences of the order of 20 bar which occur in operation between the measurement medium and the interior of the probe. The probe can therefore be steam-sterilized without problem. It is particularly suitable for use in the amperometric determination of oxygen.

Abstract: A counterblow--tap hole--boring machine, especially for pneumatic rammer advance, combined with a counterblow device which serves as tapping equipment and a rotator for the actuation of a bar drill or a striking bar, consisting of sliding control valves which feed the main air to the consumer and back as exhaust, whereby an additional quick action ventilating valve quickly reduces the pressure of the used air, is provided with a mobile control piston (20) disposed on the distal end of the axially sliding control valve (15), which holds a valve disk (16) and controls the main air supply, between the housing (12) and the shaft of the sliding control valve (15), whereby a separate annular piston (18) alternatingly rests against the valve fitting surface (19) and a fitting surface (29) at the control piston (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to a material store for the through transport of a length of textile material. It contains a storage vessel with an upright delivery shaft, an upright extraction shaft and a turn-round section which connects the lower ends of the shafts, and transport arrangements for the delivery and removal of the length of material are provided above the two shafts. In the turn-round section of the storage vessel the length of material is turned round with the aid of a rotating turn-round device and a break roller can be pivoted from the inner face of each of the shafts into the cross-section of the shaft.By these means the length of material is transported through the storage vessel satisfactorily and extremely gently with an extremely high degree of stabilization.

Abstract: A housing of the grasping device is connected by way of a headpiece with a taphole drilling machine equipped with a counterblow hammer. A clamping mechanism which can be coupled in a force-locking fashion in the housing of the grasping device with the smooth-round end of the tapping rod by means of an operating device is provided, this mechanism being in operative connection with an installation enhancing the clamping force upon an increase in tensile force at the tapping rod. The clamping mechanism can be, for example, a tilting disk surrounding the smooth-round end of the tapping rod with a bore and being in operative connection on one side with a stop fixedly connected to the housing of the grasping device, this stop converting the tensile force at the tapping rod into a tilting moment at the tilting disk so that the clamping force is enhanced.
