Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for connection to a communication bus, in particular an apparatus for encoding the status of several emergency devices for communication across an AS-interface. A data code indicative of a collective state of one or more subsets of the emergency devices is communicated during cyclic communication from the slave to the master whereas information indicative of the individual states of the emergency devices is communicated during acyclic communication from the slave to the master.

Abstract: A flushing device has two water outlets, wherein one outlet is connected to an arch of a trap of the toilet bowl. This outlet is connected to means with which a portion of the flushing water present in a flushing tank can be pressurized and released to this outlet. The water is briefly set into motion with the pressurized flushing water, and more effective emptying of the trap is achieved. The flushing device according to the present invention represents a lower load for the water pipes and operates with less noise than flushing valve-type devices.

Abstract: The frame has at least two hollow bars extending at right angles to one another and at least one connector, which connects the two hollow bars to one another at a distance from one another. The connector has a locking body as well as an expanding means in which the locking body engages an undercut groove of one bar with a head part and a front-side hollow space of the other hollow bar with a foot end. The locking body has a clamp-shaped design. The expanding means has an eccentric bolt, which expands the two legs at right angles to their longitudinal direction between the two hollow bars, thereby detachably connecting a head end and a foot end of the locking body to the associated hollow bar by clamping.

Abstract: Fiber materials can be modified by applying heterocycloaliphatic compounds containing at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amino group or quaternary ammonium group, the hetero portion of which in the ring is a carbonic ester radical of the formula --O--CO--O-- or a carbamic acid radical of the formula --O--CO--NH--, in aqueous alkaline solution by exposing the fiber material to these compounds at a temperature of between 60.degree. and 230.degree. C. The characteristic of the modified fiber material is that it can be dyed with dye solutions of water-soluble, anionic textile dyes which are low in electrolytes or entirely free of electrolytes and/or are low in alkali or entirely free of alkali. The advantage of a dyeing process carried out in this manner, in particular for fiber-reactive dyes, is that fixation of the dyes under alkaline conditions is unnecessary.

Abstract: A process for the dyeing of fiber materials with water-soluble anionic dyes, in particular those having a fiber-reactive group, is described, according to which dyeing is carried out using low-electrolyte or entirely electrolyte-free and/or low-alkali or entirely alkali-free dye solutions (dye liquors, printing pastes) and in which a fiber material is used which was modified by means of a saturated straight-chain or branched aliphatic or cycloaliphatic compound which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more hydroxy groups and contains at least one primary, secondary or tertiary amino group or quaternary ammonium group and at least one hydrolyzable ester group, it also being possible for the aliphatic radical in this compound to be interrupted by one or more hetero groups.

Abstract: A process for dyeing textile fiber materials with water-soluble dyestuffs, in particular anionic dyestuffs, and of these in particular those having a fiber-reactive group, in which the dyeing is carried out using low-electrolyte or entirely electrolyte-free and/or low-alkali or entirely alkali-free dye liquors or printing pastes and a fiber material which has been modified with a silane compound containing amino groups is used as the textile material. The fiber material is modified by applying the silane compound containing amino groups to the material in aqueous solution and subjecting the impregnated material to a heat treatment. Novel silane compounds which contain a secondary amino group and can likewise be employed for the purpose mentioned are furthermore described.
