Abstract: A device for depositing and withdrawing banknotes, in which the banknotes are conducted in a closed circuit between deposition and withdrawal is provided which includes an extractable drawer for the sorted reception of banknotes and extractable drawer for the sorted reception of banknotes and for various banknotes in different shafts, from which the respective banknotes can be drawn off mechanically. The device also includes a drawer having an openable bottom and at least one open or openable longitudinal side wall, via which a manipulator can be moved into the respective position in correspondence with the reception bins for individual banknotes. By displacement in the vertical or horizontal direction, the manipulator is able to grasp banknotes and deposit the same in a shaft arranged therebelow, wherein upon reopening of the drawer, only empty reception bins are released, the banknotes having been safely deposited in a safe.

Abstract: In an arrangement for separating and sorting bank notes, including a feeder shaft and a transporting means for separated bank notes, the transporting means is comprised of parallel recirculating continuous conveyor belts. One of the two continuous conveyor belts is returned via a deflection or guide pulley. The upper continuous conveyor belt, which is kept running, is guided in an upward excursion from a substantially horizontal running direction. A reversibly drivable sorting roller is arranged in the transport path of the bank notes in the vicinity of the deflection or guide pulley for the returned continuous conveyor belt, viewed in the transport direction, which reversibly drivable sorting roller continues to convey the bank notes as the upper continuous conveyor belt is driven in the transport direction and causes the bank notes to be diverted and introduced into a shaft or bin provided below the path of movement of the upper continuous conveyor belt as it is driven in opposite direction.

Abstract: The process for producing alkylhalogenosilanes, which comprises reacting a physical mixture of silicon, a selenium or tellurium promoter and a copper catalyst with an alkyl halide.

Abstract: A metallurgical silicon is disclosed which contains substantially from 30 to 180 ppm of phosphorus comprised of a crystalline phase of primary silicon having a dissolved phosphorus content between 30 and 150 parts per million and intermetal phases whose global ratio is between 0.5 and 2%, wherein among the intermediary phases, the phase Si.sub.2 Al.sub.2 Ca does not exceed 0.3% of the total of the metallurgical silicon mass. The metallurgical silcon is used for the synthesis of alkyl or aryl halogenosilanes useful for the preparation of silicones.

Abstract: In the production of an organochlorosilane by reaction of silicon with at least one of an alkyl or aryl chloride in the presence of a copper catalyst, the improvement which comprises employing as the silicon fine-particle silicon containing surface-bound chlorine produced by contacting fine-particle silicon in reactive form with gaseous or liquid chlorine.

Abstract: A drive unit for a watercraft, in particular for an inflatable boat, with a motor unit and with a pump unit for the intake, acceleration and expulsion of water, which pump unit is in a driving connection with the motor unit via a power train, and with fastening members for detachably mounting the drive unit to a watercraft. The inboard motor unit and the outboard pump unit are connected with one another via supporting members which serve to support the motor unit, are fastened to a housing enclosing the pump unit and, together with the power train, penetrate a plate which is arranged between the two units, forms a front side of the housing and is detachably connected with the transom of the watercraft.

Abstract: Metallic silicon for the Rochow-Synthesis is reduced to particles measuring at least 5 mm in their smallest dimension and 15 mm in their largest dimension, cooling the silicon from a temperature of at least 700.degree. C. to at most 120.degree. C. within a maximum of 2 seconds, and then ground and reacted.

Abstract: A water-jet drive with a stator and a rotor enclosed by a housing having an inlet and an outlet nozzle, the rotor shaft which supports the rotor at one end and has torque-transmitting means at the other end being rotatably supported in the housing by shaft bearings arranged upstream and downstreams. A shaft bearing associated with the torque-transmitting means and supporting the rotor shaft is constructed so as to enable an axial displacement of the rotor shaft which can be adjusted via an external adjusting member.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of organosiloxanes, in particular those containing a high proportion of low molecular weight cyclic and chain structured organosiloxanes, preferably cyclic dimethylsiloxanes, by hydrolysis of the corresponding organochlorosilanes, in which a high proportion of gaseous hydrogen chloride is formed at the same time.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of alkylhalogenosilanes by reaction of silicon with an alkyl halide in the presence of a copper catalyst and promoter substances, the improvement wherein gaseous phosphorus compounds are admixed, as promotor substances, with the stream of alkyl halide.

Abstract: In the production of organochlorosilanes by reaction of silicon with an alkyl- and/or arylchloride in the presence of a copper catalyst and, optionally, promoter elements, the improvement wherein the silicon has been atomized with an inert gas, has a particle size of less than about 1000 .mu.m, by weight has an Al content of about 0.05 to 0.38%, a Ca content of about 0.02 to 0.2% and an Fe content of about 0.25 to 0.55%.

Abstract: A test reagent for detecting fibrin monomers in blood, comprises an antibiotic of a pyrrole amidine series as a precipitant, introduced in a buffer solution. A method of detecting fibrin monomers in blood, comprises the steps of mixing venous blood with an anticoagulant, centrifuging the mixture of the venous blood with the anticoagulant, removing a citrate plasma, using an antibiotic of a pyrrole amidine series as a precipitant, and evaluating a precipitation reaction which takes place thereby.

Abstract: In the production of an organochlorosilane by reaction of silicon or a silicon alloy with an alkyl or aryl chloride in the presence of a copper catalyst, the improvement which comprises employing the silicon or alloy in atomized form.

Abstract: The very economical padding methods for applying liquid treatment agents and which have largely become established for flat-lying material are also interesting for dyeing and finishing tubular textile material. In the latter case, the use of this technique is however opposed by the finding that on impregnating circular-knitted goods on a pad mangle the squeeze edges are marked on both sides of the tube, which gives rise, for example, to undesirable color differences. According to the invention, this adverse phenomenon and the problems arising therefrom can be avoided if, through maintaining a relatively high liquor pick-up by the textile material and through mechanical shifting of the edges, the liquor is enabled to level out any unevenness produced on squeezing.
