Abstract: A process and a corresponding device for determining the alignment of two rotatable machine parts, the alignment of two hollow cylindrical machine parts or for testing a component for straightness along one lengthwise side, with a first measurement unit with a light source for emitting a light beam which has been expanded in one plane, and a second measurement unit with an optical detector unit which has two linear sensors which are arranged parallel to one another, and with an evaluation unit to evaluate a light pattern which has been produced by the two-dimensionally expanded light beam for determining the misalignment of the axes of the machine parts relative to one another, or optionally, the straightness of the component, by the determination the points of incidence of the two-dimensionally expanded light beam on the sensors.

Abstract: Electrical insulating compositions consisting of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer containing from 0.5 to 9.5 percent by weight of vinyl acetate units, from 0.1 to 2.0 percent by weight of polymerized 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline, from 0.5 to 5 percent by weight of a triallyl cyanurate and, optionally, up to 0.1 percent by weight of sulfur. The compositions can be crosslinked, with high yield, by treatment with high energy radiation.

Abstract: Mixtures of asphalt and ethylene copolymers, in which asphalts from solvent extraction processes are used as asphalt. Compared to conventional molding materials comprising mixtures of straight-run asphalts and ethylene polymers, the compositions according to the invention show no exudation of oil. The molding materials may be converted to sheeting and be used in roofing, as container lining or as pipe coating.
