Abstract: A system for measuring the quality and level of lubricant in an engine lubricant reservoir includes a valve for selectively directing a portion of lubricant from the engine through a first conduit for return to the engine or through a second conduit for removal from the engine. Within the first conduit are one or more sensors for sensing the condition of the lubricant passing through the first conduit. The sensors are monitored by a controller which is operative selectively to cause the valve to block the flow of lubricant through the first conduit and direct a portion of the lubricant through the second conduit based on the monitored conditions of the lubricant. Also, the controller directs a supply of fresh lubricant to the engine in response to the lubricant in the engine lubricant reservoir dropping below a predetermined level.

Abstract: A heat sink for electronic components is presented, which is integral and comprises a strip of sheet brass. This strip is bent in a meandering shape, contact surfaces being seated on a heat distributor of a component, in the region of lower meandering curves. The heat sink is held firmly on the component by means of an internally produced prestress in conjunction with a snap-action connection. Although the heat sink has longitudinal elasticity even in the fitted state, its heat-dissipating function can always be maintained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of composite sheet bodies by back-foaming a flexible facing with a polyurethane foam forming reaction mixture. This polyurethane foam is characterized by a density of less than 300 g/l, preferably from 20 to 150 g/l, and optionally contains isocyanurate groups. Suitable flexible facings include those having a thickness of less than 10 mm, preferably less than 2 mm. This composite bodies produced by this process are suitable for use in the automobile sector as self-supporting components. Conventional stiffening elements are not necessary to produce these self-supporting composite bodies.

Abstract: The consumer, and in particular the beverage consumer, frequently demands different packaging units which consist of different beverages or different assortments of beverages. That means that packaging units must be assembled which contain, for example, two bottles of a carbonated fruit-flavor beverage and four bottles of a beverage containing cola. The labelling and other packaging of the container must correspond to the product In the individual container. The packaging units are generally assembled either manually or semi-automatically. The invention relates to a method which simplifies the preparation of packaging units which contain different filling products. The invention is characterized by the fact that to fill the containers according to a Specified or selected filling formation with different filling products, i.e.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing flat fish is disclosed. The fish (5) are placed on a conveyor (1) and transported on a conveying surface (1.1) over an array of photosensing elements (3.4) which generate light absorbtion signals as the fish is advanced. These signals are sent to a computer, which determines the contour of the fish using information regarding the conveyor speed and computes cutting control signals using pre-programmed proportionality factors relating to the fish species. The cutting line control signals are sent to a cutting apparatus (4). As the advanced fish arrives at the cutting apparatus, two rotary knives (4.1) cut into the dorsal and ventral sides of the fish in response to the control signals to remove the dorsal fin together with a strip of fatty tissue (5.12) from one edge of the fish and the internal organs, the anal fin and the ventral strip of fatty tissue (5.11) from the other edge of the fish.

During the moulding of the moulded part or a core member arranged therein, particularly the core box, at least one insert is inserted, whose shape corresponds to that of the nozzle. After the moulding of the core box the insert is removed and replaced by the nozzle.

Abstract: An electric connector includes two complementary connector members, one of which has spring contacts as contact elements and the other has blade contacts as contact elements, wherein the contact elements are mounted in a row or in several parallel rows on base members. The base members are mounted on frame-like enclosing members of housings which extend parallel to the direction of insertion of the contact elements and which serve for the mutual guidance of the housings during the insertion. In the joined state of the connector members, the spring contacts and the corresponding blade contacts can be placed in contact with each other and out of contact from each other by means of contact slide members which are displaceable along the row or rows of contact elements. The connector members can be positively coupled transversely of the direction of insertion by means of locking slide members.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the mass stream and flow density of a finely divided, fine-grained solid fuel is described. The method uses a dosing container having a fluidized bed at its bottom part and into which the solid fuel is charged above the fluidized bed. A fluidizing gas is adjustably fed to the bottom part of the container and a compensation gas is fed to the upper part of the latter. Mass stream parameters and density are measured in the discharge or supply pipe communicating with the fluidizing bed and the required weight of flow of the fluidizing gas is computed by a computer. In this manner, the regulation of the mass stream is effected by adjusting the loose density of the charge of the dusty material in the container.

Abstract: A bottle or similar container is provided with a safety closure comprising a push-on cap having a sealing plug on its base penetrating into the bottle mouth and having projections on the inside of its peripheral wall which engage behind an annular beading on the bottle neck to retain the cap on the bottle. In addition to the beading, mutually opposite cams project from the bottle neck each providing an upper surface which ascends in a circumferential direction towards the bottle mouth. The peripheral wall of the cap, which is made of a slightly flexible material, is spaced from the bottle neck and at mutually opposite positions on its inside there are inwardly projecting cam followers which clear the cams when the cap is rotated normally but which engage and ride up the upper cam surfaces when the cap is pressed inwards in the regions of the followers and the cap is simultaneously rotated in the same direction as the cam surfaces ascend, thereby pushing the cap off the bottle.
