Abstract: In a process for producing flexible polyurethane foams by reactinga) organic and/or modified organic polyisocyanates withb) relatively high molecular weight compounds containing at least two reactive hydrogen atoms andc) if desired, low molecular weight chain extenders and/or cross linkersin the presence ofd) blowing agents,e) catalysts,f) flame retardants and, if desiredg) further auxiliaries and/or additives,the relatively high molecular weight compounds containing at least two reactive hydrogen atoms (b) comprise at least 10% by weight of polyether polyols which can be prepared by base-catalyzed reaction of lower alkylene oxides with OH-functional initiator substances and are subjected, during or after the molecular addition of alkylene oxide, to a combined thermal/distillative treatment at a water content of at most 0.1% by weight.The flexible PUR foam produced according to the present invention can be used in the automobile and furniture sectors and for producing flexible foam/textile composites.

Abstract: A stamped knitting tool, such as a latch needle, has, on its shank, a lubricant distributing arrangement formed on at least one of the opposite broad shank faces for collecting a lubricant therein during operation of the knitting tool. The lubricant distributing arrangement is constituted by a region of reduced shank thickness extending transversely to the shank length from a distance from the upper shank edge at least substantially to the lower shank edge. The region of reduced shank thickness may be a chamfer, a recess or a depression.

Abstract: A displacement device for use with windows and sliding roof for motor vehicles includes a toothed rack disposed within the vehicle in a direction parallel to the displacement direction. A motor-gear housing is positioned adjacent the toothed rack and includes an electrical driver, a central shaft positioned perpendicular to the rack, and a pinion gear on the shaft that is engaged with the toothed portion of the rack. The rack and housing include guide surfaces that are positioned to correspond with one another. A guidance element is attached to the housing and the rack is interposed between the guide surfaces of the housing and the guidance element to control and guide the movement of the housing vis-a-vis the rack during activation of the electrical drive. Attachments extend from the housing and are configured to accommodate placement of an edge portion of a window therein.

Abstract: Improved photographic properties are obtained if the photographic silver halide material contains a copolymer with polypeptide segments, wherein the polypeptide segments are derived from polypeptides with an average molecular weight M.sub.w of 2000 to 40000.

Abstract: The present invention provides for improved testing of an integrated circuit. In order to measure a test signal S from the integrated circuit 1 a multi-pattern is placed in a shift register. The multi-pattern is generated by overlaying at least two test patterns Ax and Bx. Therefore the signal S changes its state in response to only a small amount of shift operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for detecting the position and direction of movement and for detecting the dynamic characteristic values of remote-controlled displacements of an adjustable object. According to the invention a signal is detected and evaluated which is solely made up of a system-characteristic signal or the overlapping of several system-characteristic signals. The aim is to achieve a high dissolution of the aforesaid values which are to be detected without using additional sensor or transmitter elements whilst incurring only small production costs.
