Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance tomography apparatus has a magnet assembly with a first surface and a gradient coil assembly with a second surface, with an annular gap between these surfaces. A noise-reduction arrangement for damping the oscillations of the gradient coil assembly and/or for stiffening the gradient coil assembly is disposed in this gap in contact with the first and second surfaces. The noise-reducing arrangement can be composed of one or more components, and has contact surfaces, formed by one or more components, respectively in substantially surface-wide contact with the first and second surfaces of the tomography apparatus.

Abstract: For the production of spunbonded fabrics there is given a process consisting in that monocomponent or bicomponent fibers are spun from multiline longitudinal spinning nozzles mounted in rows on double spinning beams in such a way that the emerging filament rovings overlap over the entire production width, that, before depositing, the filament rovings are cooled by transverse blowing from one side and by sucking-off on their other side freed from spinning vapors, mechanically and/or aerodynamically stretched and deposited to the web.The apparatus described comprises double spinning beams with a length of 800 to 8,000 mm which carry multiline longitudinal spinning nozzles staggered to one another with high hole numbers, with lengths of the individual nozzles from 500 to 700 mm.

Abstract: 3-Methyl-2-alkylamino-1-halo-1-cyano cyclobutanes are cleaved under acid conditions to form 2-halo-4-formylvaleronitrile and 4-formyl-2-pentenonitrile which can be cyclized to form 2-substituted-5-methylpyridine derivatives. These pyridine derivatives are useful as starting materials in the manufacture of herbicides such as fluazifop-butyl.

Abstract: The difunctional polyfluoroaromatic compounds represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein X and Y are identical and are selected from the class consisting of --COOR.sup.1, --CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2, --CH.sub.2 NCO and ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 is --H, alkyl and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently are either --H, X or alkyl and n is either 0 or 1 are disclosed. These compounds are derived from those wherein X and Y are --CN which are produced in a solvent specific reaction. The process comprises reacting pentafluorobenzonitrile with a Grignard reagent of the formula CH.sub.3 MgHal, wherein Hal is --Cl or --Br, in the presence of either tetrahydrofuran, 1,3-dioxolane, dimethoxyethane or diglyme. When the solvent employed is tetrahydrofuran, the cyano compound wherein n is 1 is obtained. When the solvent is 1,3-dioxolane, the cyano compound wherein n is 0 is obtained.

Abstract: Disclosed is an absorbent body of nonwoven material formed of randomly distributed thermoplastic endless filaments which contain embedded hydrophilic or oleophilic staple fibers and in some cases swelling particles. Also disclosed is a one-step process for the production of the absorbent body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing spun bonded nonwoven fabrics which have a highly uniform fleece structure and a uniform weight per unit area. In the method, a plurality of linear ranks of filaments, disposed side by side are spun from a plurality of long spinnerets. The filaments are aerodynamically drawn downward, stretched, and then fixed on a moving screen. The linear ranks of filaments are deflected and set in a pendular movement. The ranks are carried on an air cushion on the moving screen through a spreading section in which the ranks of filaments are turned around and laid down in a criss-crossing and substantially loop-like manner, and are fixed on the screen by vacuum.

The bitumen coating optionally can be made elastic by the addition of modifiers with sufficiently low glass conversion points.

Abstract: A process for the synthesis of compounds which are known intermediates for the pyridyloxyphenoxy herbicides as well as intermediates used in the process. Propionaldehyde and an acrylic compound, two radily available starting materials, are reacted to form a 2-formylpentanoic compound which is cyclized to a dihydro pyridone which is then oxidized to the 2-hydroxy pyridine. The hydroxypyridine may be halogenated to a 2-halopyridine.
