Abstract: A honeycomb for curved surface lightweight components includes a plurality of elongate ribbons and connecting regions. The connecting regions are provided, respectively, between opposing ribbons to connect the ribbons together in a portion-wise manner in a firmly bonded relationship in a transverse direction. The connecting regions are arranged at regular spacings along the longitudinal direction of a ribbon. Honeycomb-like cells form cavities between the ribbons. With respect to three successive ribbons, a displacement of the connecting regions between first and second ribbons relative to the connecting regions between second and third ribbons toward a first side of the longitudinal direction is lesser than toward a second side of the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting residual cakes within a bottom-unloading centrifuge so that the residual cake can be discharged without putting the operator in jeopardy. The apparatus comprises first and second cutting members that are vertically spaced from each other and an elongated support member secured to the cutting members. The cutting members and the elongated support member are rotatably and vertically moveable within the centrifuge. The apparatus also includes a locking system for securing and maintaining the cutting members in a first, cutting position and a second, rest position.
