Abstract: A sealant comprising a mercapto-terminal liquid oligomer containing plasticizers, fillers and additives wherein the improvement comprises as curing agent an acrylic or methacrylic compound with at least two acrylic or methacrylic groups per molecule and a guanidine derivative as a curing catalyst having good chemical and weathering stability, low water vapor permeability and long-term elasticity properties.

Abstract: Biological material is suspended in a liquid and, in the presence of reverberative bodies suspended in the suspension of biological material, subjected to ultrasound thereby to disintegrate the biological material. The disintegration is conducted in a spherical chamber at approximately the center of which is the radiating surface of a sonotrode. The diameter of the chamber is at least three times the diameter of the radiating surface and the radiating surface faces the bottom of the chamber. The suspension of the biological material is pumped upwards through the chamber.

Abstract: Device for storing small articles and conveying them in an orientated manner, includes a storage container (10), a slope conveyor (12), and an orientation conveyor (20) which is arranged parallel to the slope conveyor and is provided with a defined segment (68) for returning excessive small articles or those which are not orientated to the feed area (32) of the slope conveyor (12). The slope conveyor is provided with the actual conveying segment (50), a deflecting segment (52) for receiving small articles which are forced out of the conveying segment (50) laterally, the small articles arriving back in the feed area (32) of the slope conveyor (12) on the deflecting segment (52). A pile-up of small articles arrives in the output area (40) of the slope conveyor (12) and a localized circulation is formed in this location which prevents the small articles from entering the orientation segment (64).

Abstract: A vibrating conveyor has a working mass drivable in vibrations, a counter mass which is also driven via the working mass in vibrations which are transferred to a support or a mounting base, and a device for dampening or reducing this transmission which includes a plurality of roller bearing elements provided between the vibrating conveyor and a mounting base and each formed as a unit including two bearing shells with running tracks and at least one roller part between the running tracks, wherein the running tracks before and after the roller part is inclined in opposite direction in form of a predetermined curve, and when the counter mass is driven in rotation the counter mass and the mounting base are pressed from one another by the roller bearing element which results in damping relative to the mounting base.

Abstract: A light source, preferably an electrical flash tube, generates a beam of light which, preferably, is collimated to provide a parallel beam output. The workpieces are placed in the beam of light to generate a shadow image. The shadow image and surrounding beam portions are projected on a screen, with intervening optical enlargement, on which photoelectric sensors are located positioned in the projected shadow image and preferably also in adjacent regions of the light beam, the outputs from the sensors being compared with each other, or with a reference, to determine relative shadow image characteristics of regions of the objects in the light beam path, the output signals being a measure of differences in characteristics, and hence determinative of orientation, size, or integrity of the workpiece material.
