  • Publication number: 20090194496
    Abstract: A rack conversion system mounts to an existing storage rack and includes lateral tracks for side to side movement of forward bins and longitudinal tracks for front to rear movement of rear bins. The bins are sized to efficiently store a particular item, for example, paper files. The forward bins are movable side to side along the lateral tracks and reside in front of the rear bin. The rear bins are moveable front to rear along the longitudinal tracks and are normally positioned to the rear to allow the side to side movement of the forward bins. The lateral tracks are preferably mounted below the forward bins and do not interfere with the movement of the rear bins, and the longitudinal tracks are preferably mounted above the rear bins and do not interfere with movement of the forward bins.

  • Publication number: 20080020205
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing free-flowing pellets based on cellulosic spun fibers. The process includes a) wetting at least one cellulosic spun-fiber strand with a preferably aqueous dispersion of a polymer and/or an oligomer for the purpose of applying sizing, b) drying the at least one spun-fiber strand, and c) comminuting the at least one spun-fiber strand into pellets. The free-flowing pellets are made from at least one comminuted spun-fiber strand having sizing made from a polymer and/or an oligomer. A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic includes finely distributed free-flowing pellets for manufacturing fiber-reinforced performs.

  • Publication number: 20070298670
    Abstract: The invention relates to a proton-conducting polymer membrane and to a method for the production thereof. Starting from a catalyst layer, which is homogeneously deposited on the polymer membrane (3), the catalyst layer is subdivided into a number of catalyst segments (1a, 1b) by microstructuring so that adjacent fuel cell units of a planar fuel cell arrangement can be realized in the smallest possible space.

  • Publication number: 20060235594
    Abstract: A method and a computer system for operating at least two interconnected control units. The control units access sensor data and each execute at least one computer program for controlling operational sequences, in particular in a vehicle. The control units exchange synchronization information with one another. In order to design and refine a computer system in a way that will enable even especially complex operational sequences, as required in a modern motor vehicle, for example, to be controlled and/or regulated simply and cost-effectively with the aid of the computer system, using conventional control units, the control units execute the same computer program time-synchronously using a settable time lag.

  • Publication number: 20050215778
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of cellulose carbamate by reactive extrusion and for the production of moulded articles made of regenerated cellulose. The method for the production of cellulose carbamate is based thereby on the activation of cellulose, subsequent separation of the activation solution and following thereon reactive extrusion of the activated cellulose. Typical examples of moulded articles which can be produced therefrom are fibres, films, beads, sponges or sponge-type cloths.

  • Patent number: 6901734
    Abstract: A yarn false twist texturing apparatus which includes a yarn heater, a yarn cooling device, and a yarn twisting unit serially arranged along a yarn path of travel. The cooling device is composed of a cooling tube, and yarn guides are arranged so that the yarn advances spirally on the surface of the outside periphery of the tube. A yarn lifter is positioned so as to lift the advancing yarn from contact with the outside periphery of the cooling tube over a partial length of the cooling tube, so that the cooling effect can be influenced without significantly changing the spiral looping on the cooling tube.

  • Publication number: 20050019561
    Abstract: The invention concerns a profiled part and aggregates for making same. The aggregates contain a material for plastic matrix technique and an adherence promoter. Regenerated cellulose fiber elements are incorporated in the matrix material. The characteristic profile of a profiled part made from such aggregates corresponds substantially to that of profiled PC/ABS parts, the profiled part of the invention being, however, capable of being produced at a more advantageous cost, being more recyclable and being, moreover, capable of being shaped at lower temperatures.
