  • Patent number: 9784331
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for receiving cylindrical bodies. In the method according to the invention, the receiving utilizes tight, self-restoring pressure elements, in which by adjusting the inflow and/or outflow of compressed air, the motion speed of the cylindrical body is decelerated. The apparatus according to the invention includes a pressure element within the elastic and tight material of which is installed self-restoring porous material. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the method and the apparatus for receiving a cylindrical body.

  • Patent number: 4486647
    Abstract: Aluminum is joined to titanium by welding using so much welding energy that the temperature on the titanium side of the alloying melt boundary remains below 2000.degree. C., while titanium and aluminum do, however, melt at the joint interface.In a weldment thus obtained, the base material alloys and aluminum filler of which contain at maximum 10% titanium, there is in the vicinity of the interface between titanium and aluminum only a discontinuous .beta.-phase, dispersed in the aluminum matrix.

  • Patent number: 4343708
    Abstract: A method and equipment for thickening various suspensions, such as, e.g., pulp slurry, waste waters, or mineral sediments. The sludge or slurry is passed into a basin in which a filter unit rotates as partly submerged in the sludge or slurry. The thickened sludge or pulp web is gathered onto the surface of the filter unit from the sludge or the slurry in the basin. The sludge or slurry is passed from the basin to above the sludge or slurry level. In order to pre-thicken the sludge or slurry, part of the liquid contained therein is removed through a wall located between the feeding-in point of the sludge or slurry and the surface level of the sludge or slurry.
