Abstract: Provided herein is a portable apparatus for controlled venting and curing operations on coating materials through combination of infrared radiation with cold and/or hot turbulent airflows for the purpose of setting optimum conditions during the venting and curing of coating materials in repair coatings.

Abstract: A control system and a method for milking members in a milking parlor having plural milking stalls. The control system includes a local control unit in each milking stall automatically preparing the milking member for a milking operation by setting a vacuum valve in an open position when the milking member is moved from a storage position, and a control unit setting the milking stalls in the milking parlor in a pre-cleaning mode when a milking operation is still in progress in at least one other of the milking stalls. In this case, the local control units prepare the milking members for a cleaning operation instead of a milking operation by maintaining the vacuum valve in a closed position when the milking member is moved from a storage position, until the cleaning operation of the milking member is started.

Abstract: A coupling arrangement (12) with a housing (6) has a first locking part (18), a locking element (14) and a ring (16), which is arranged intermediate the locking element (14) and the housing (6). The locking element (14) is cylindrical having a center axis (X) and has a second locking part (28) and at least one locking contour (30) having a first end (32) designed to take in a respective pin (34) of a connecting element (36) to disable rotational movement of the connecting element (36) via positive locking. The ring (16), the first locking part (18) and the second locking part (28) are designed and arranged such as to form a positive locking at least in one direction of the center axis (X) between the housing (6) and the locking element (14) via the ring (16).

Abstract: Rubber composition vulcanizable with sulfur and tire tread and tire casing comprising the composition, characterized in that the composition comprises: a) at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of diene polymers, olefin/monomeric diene copolymers and isoolefin/halogenated para-alkylstyrene copolymers; b) silica as filler; c) at least one agent of the sulfur-containing silane type promoting the linkage between silica and polymer; d) at least one substituted guanidine; and in that it has at least one of the following characteristics: It has at least one diene polymer which comprises at least one terminal amino group of an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amine which is bonded thereto at the end of the chain, the polymer then being devoid of the alkoxysilane and silanol group; the composition comprises at least one free aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amine.
