  • Patent number: 10761812
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, program products, and systems for providing an integrated visual code editor that generates code snippets based on input received through the graphical user interface and simultaneously displaying the generated code snippets along with a real-time preview of the runtime behavior of the code snippet through a graphical user interface. The method and system includes a novel graphical user interface of the visual code editor that is connected to a repository and can retrieve information for concurrently display to a developer of the application. The visual code editor may concurrently display a code snippet in particular area of the graphical user interface and the runtime behavior of the code snippet within another area of the graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 5261981
    Abstract: A method for producing a hollow filament package by winding at least one hollow filament onto a rotating body in a plurality of layers in the form of coils using a traversing filament guide device, so that the coils form an angle with the longitudinal axis of the body, wherein the speed of rotation of the body and the traverse speed of the filament guide device are adapted to one another in such a way that, per layer, a plurality of first coils are laid down side by side between the end sections of the body and, after each forming of a first hollow filament coil, the speed of rotation of the body and/or the traverse speed of the filament guide device is changed in such a way that second hollow filament coils are formed on the first or the second end section, the second coils forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the core greater than the angle formed by the first coils.

  • Patent number: 5160673
    Abstract: A hollow fiber module with at least one bundle of hollow fibers made in a U shape, in which each hollow fiber bundle comprises at least two part bundles of different average lengths, the hollow fibers arranged essentially in the form of layers at least in the region of the bend of the U shape, the layers extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the module, the longitudinal axes of the layers and the longitudinal axis of the module approximately coinciding and the layers forming an angle between them when viewed longitudinally. An apparatus and process for making the hollow fiber module are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5126053
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing hollow fiber piles, at least one hollow fiber strand is wound spirally onto a rotating drum having a polygonal cross section to form superimposed hollow fiber layers thereon, forming a hollow fiber roll on the drum. Once the desired number of hollow fiber layers has been formed on the rotating drum, segments of a desired shape are separated from substantially planar regions of the hollow fiber roll. Simultaneously, or immediately following this separation, adjacent end regions of the hollow fibers are connected with one another at least spotwise.

  • Patent number: 4961464
    Abstract: A mass and/or heat exchanger includes at least one bundle of capillaries, the ends of which are embedded in a casting composition, and a housing in which the capillaries with the casting composition are arranged in such a way that the casting composition represents a liquid-tight isolation between the lumens of the capillaries and the space outside the capillaries. An elastic element which compensates for differences in changes of length of the at least one bundle of capillaries and the housing, is provided between the casting composition and the housing.

  • Patent number: 4740344
    Abstract: The invention comprises a method and apparatus wherein an insert, preferably made of plastic and preferably allowing a melt-on bonding with the tubes and whose floor has a traversing opening for each tube, is inserted into the first part of the injection mold (top mold or bottom mold) as a positioning element for the tubes in such a manner that the insert is at least partially locked or secured into the first part of the injection mold. A tube is then placed in each opening of the insert. A mandrel is then placed in each tube, whereupon the injection mold is locked in such a manner that, if necessary, the mandrels are locked into the second part of the injection mold (bottom mold or top mold). A molten thermoplastic material is then injected, via a sprue provided in the injection mold, into a cavity formed by the injection mold, the insert and the tube ends.

  • Patent number: 4480683
    Abstract: Arrangement for heat and/or mass transfer between a minimum of two liquids, effected by means of hollow fibers, the open ends of which are imbedded in a casting compound and which hollow fibers are located in the form of hollow fiber modules within a housing, wherein an intermediate ring and gaskets are provided between the housing and the casting compound beds of the hollow fiber module. A bore in the housing allows in case of a defective gasket that leaking liquid may drain to the outside, whereby short circuiting between the different liquid chambers of the housing will be prevented. The intermediate ring may be present as lose component or may, also, be fixedly connected to the face plates of the housing or the housing jacket. A plurality of hollow fiber modules may be arranged within a common housing. The hollow fiber module may be surrounded by a perforated supporting tube. The arrangement is particularly suitable for cross-flow filtration.

  • Patent number: 4124973
    Abstract: A nubby yarn comprising at least one textured core yarn and one separately textured effect yarn is disclosed wherein the effect yarn is periodically wrapped helically around the core yarn and then helically wound over the first helix in the same direction of wind. A process for the manufacture of the nubby yarn is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4010523
    Abstract: A process for producing a composite novelty or effect yarn comprising a base thread and a fancy thread combined therewith in a texturizing jet nozzle having both an interlacing effect and a suction effect and operated between a low jet pressure and a high jet pressure, the low pressure being applied while the fancy thread is conducted through the jet nozzle under a lightly braked, lower tension than that applied to the base thread, and the high pressure being applied while the fancy thread is conducted through the jet nozzle under practically unbraked, tension-free conditions. The resulting product is useful as a doupion-type novelty yarn which provides commercially valuable effects in woven fabrics.
